What we do

One-time

A website that works

A fast, plain-speaking site that tells people what you do, where you work, and how to reach you. Local SEO setup is included in the price — it’s the point, not an extra. Most businesses only need the base build; add-ons exist if you want more.

Local SEO, month to month

After launch, we can keep working: your listing stays active, your pages stay current, and you get a short report in plain English every month. No contract. Cancel any time and the site is still yours.

Who this is for

A good fit

  • Local businesses — trades, shops, practices, restaurants, services
  • Your customers search things like “plumber near me”
  • Your site is old, slow, or doesn’t exist
  • You want one clear price and a date, not a proposal deck
  • You’d rather run your business than manage a website

Not a good fit

  • National e-commerce or venture-backed startups
  • Anyone who wants a #1 Google ranking guaranteed — nobody honest can sell you that
  • Logo design, brand campaigns, or running your social media
  • Projects that need a big agency and a big budget
A good fit
goes both ways.

How it goes

Kickoff to live in about 21 business days.

Five steps. You’ll always know which one we’re on, and nothing goes live without your sign-off.

  1. Day 1

    Kickoff

    A short call or a worksheet — your choice. We collect what you already have: your services, your prices, the questions customers always ask.

  2. Days 2–5

    Words first

    We write the copy before we design anything. If the words are wrong, no layout saves them. You approve every sentence.

  3. Days 6–14

    Design and build

    We build the site and do the local SEO groundwork — titles, descriptions, and giving Google a clear, accurate picture of what you do and where you do it.

  4. Days 15–18

    Your review

    You look at everything on your own phone and computer. Two rounds of changes are included. Nothing ships until you say so.

  5. Days 19–21

    Launch and handoff

    The site goes live. Domain and hosting are in your name — they were from day one. We hand over every password and show you how to make small updates yourself.

Pricing, in real numbers

No “starting at.” No call required to see a price.

Website build

$500 base build · one-time

How paying works

½ to start

Half up front to book your slot and kick off the work.

½ on sign-off

The rest only when you’ve seen the finished site and approved it.

$250 down

On a base build, that’s the most you’ll have on the line before you’ve seen a finished site.

The monthly retainer

What $200–$350 a month actually buys.

  • Ranking checks. We watch how you show up for the searches that matter locally, and tell you what changed.
  • Small site edits. New photos, price changes, an extra page now and then — you email us, we handle it.
  • Google listing upkeep. Posts, photos, hours, and answers to the questions people leave there.
  • A short monthly report. One page, plain English: what we did, what moved, what’s next.

Month to month. Cancel any time. The site and domain stay yours either way.

Fair questions

Q1Can you get me to #1 on Google?

No — and be careful with anyone who says they can. Google doesn’t sell rankings and neither do we. What we can do: make sure Google clearly understands what you do and where you do it, fix the technical problems holding your site back, and keep your listing active. That’s the honest version of local SEO.

Q2What’s the catch at $500?

There isn’t one — there’s just no overhead. We’re two people in Fort Collins with no office, no account managers, and no sales team. We keep the job small and defined, work from a fixed checklist, and pass the savings on. If your project needs more than that, we’ll say so up front.

Q3What’s the free draft site?

If you don’t have a website, we’ll put together a draft homepage for your business — your name, your services, your town — before you pay anything. You see something real instead of imagining it. If you like it, the $500 build finishes and launches it. If not, we part ways and you owe nothing.

Q4Am I locked into anything?

No. The build is a one-time project: half up front, half when you approve it. The monthly retainer is optional and runs month to month — cancel with an email. The domain and hosting are in your name from day one, so leaving us costs you nothing.

Q5I already have a website. Do I need a new one?

Maybe not. That’s exactly what the free review is for: send us your web address — or just your business name — and we’ll look at your site and your Google listing, then tell you in writing what’s working, what’s broken, and whether a fix or a rebuild makes more sense. If your site is fine, we’ll tell you that too.

Q6How much of my time will this take?

A few hours, total. One kickoff conversation, a quick pass on the words, and a review of the finished site. We write the copy, gather the details, and handle the technical side — that’s what you’re paying for.

Start free, either way

A free review — or a free draft site.

Have a website? We’ll review it and your Google listing in writing — what’s working, what’s broken, and whether it’s worth fixing. Don’t have one? We’ll build you a free draft homepage so you can see what you’re missing. No sales call. No obligation. If everything looks good, we’ll say so.

What would you like?

Back within a few days. We don’t share your email with anyone.

Got it — your review or draft will be in your inbox within a few days. No call is coming.
