No hidden fees. No agency speak. Just straight answers.
Pricing & Payment
Correct. There is no monthly design fee. You pay $500 once.We include the first year of website hosting for free. After 12 months, hosting is just $9/month (billed annually) to keep your site live and secure. You can also move your site to your own hosting anytime.
Everything you need to start getting leads online: a 5–10 page mobile-first website, professional copywriting, click-to-call buttons, a quote form with SMS alerts, Google Analytics, basic local SEO setup, and free hosting for the first year.There are no upsells or surprise line items.
None. The only future cost is $9/month for hosting after your first free year — and that's optional. You can move to your own host at any time. Domain registration (typically ~$12/year) is separate if you don't already have one.
We accept all major credit and debit cards through Stripe, a secure payment processor used by millions of businesses. You pay once, then you're immediately redirected to the onboarding form to get started.

The Build Process
We keep it simple. If you have an existing online presence, we can pull your information and photos directly from your current website, social media, or Google Business Listing.If you're starting from scratch, all we need is your business name, a list of services, and any photos you have (otherwise we use high-quality stock photos).We write all the text for you based on what delivers the best results for your industry.
We start the clock the moment we receive your info and photos. If you send your details on Monday morning, your site is live and ready for calls by Thursday morning.We limit onboarding to 5 contractors per week specifically to protect this speed guarantee.
No problem. We use high-quality, industry-specific stock photography that looks professional and matches your trade. Many of our clients start with stock photos and swap in their own project shots later.
Yes. Professional copywriting is included. We write all headlines, service descriptions, calls-to-action, and FAQ content based on what converts best in your industry. You review everything before launch.
You get 2 full rounds of revisions. We usually nail it on the first draft, but we want you to be 100% happy. If after 2 rounds we still can't get it right, you get a full refund.
Short answer — no. Technically we can, but WordPress builds are out of scope for the $500 offer. They require more setup, maintenance, and security hardening.WordPress projects need to be quoted separately and generally range from $1,500–$2,500 depending on complexity. Reach out to us for a custom quote.
After Launch
We handle that for you. Because we build with high-performance code (not slow drag-and-drop builders) to ensure Google loves your site, there is no "login" to break things. Simple Changes: Need to change a phone number or swap a photo? Just text or email us. We handle minor updates for free* for hosted clients. Big Changes:* Need a new page? We quote those at a simple flat rate.You run your business, we keep the website running.
After 12 months, hosting continues at $9/month billed annually ($108/year). This covers hosting, SSL certificate, uptime monitoring, and minor text/photo updates.You can also export your site and move it to your own hosting provider at any time — you own the code.
For hosted clients, minor updates are free — things like swapping a phone number, updating hours, or changing a photo. For larger changes like adding new pages or redesigning sections, we quote a simple flat rate.
Absolutely. Need a new service page, a blog, or a booking integration? We quote those as flat-rate add-ons. No hourly billing, no surprises.
SEO & Google
We set up everything Google needs to find you (Sitemap, Indexing, Search Console, My Business connection).Note: While we build the site to rank, getting to the #1 spot depends on your local competition. This package gives you the foundation to get found.
Every build includes: Google Search Console submission, Bing Webmaster Tools, XML sitemap, structured data (Schema.org markup for local business), meta titles and descriptions for every page, and service-area geo-tagging so you show up in your target cities.
We connect your website to your existing Google Business Profile if you have one. If you don't have a profile yet, we can guide you through creating one — it's free and critical for local search visibility.
Yes. We build with modern, lightweight code — not bloated page builders like Wix or WordPress with 30 plugins. Our sites consistently score 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights, which directly helps your search rankings.
Ownership & Trust
Yes. Unlike other agencies that "rent" you a website, you own everything. The domain name (.com), the design, and the content belong to you. We don't hold your business hostage.
We have a "Love It or It's Free" guarantee. We build the site, you review it, and we revise it until you're happy. If after 2 rounds of revisions we can't nail it, we refund your $500 in full — no questions asked.
Yes. We are a US-based team. We don't outsource to overseas freelancers and we don't ghost. You get a real phone number and a real person to talk to throughout the process.
We can rebuild and replace it. If you have an existing domain, we'll build your new site and handle the migration. Your domain stays the same — visitors just see a much better website.
We specialize in local service contractors: tree service, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, excavation, concrete, junk removal, painting, fencing, pressure washing, and more. If you serve local customers, we can build for you.
