What's included
Everything a local customer needs to find you, trust you and get in touch from a phone:
- Up to 5 pages (for example Home, Services, About, Reviews, Contact) on a proven layout in your brand colours and fonts
- Mobile-first and fast: built to pass Google's Core Web Vitals
- Tested to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, the standard ADA website claims are judged by
- Tap-to-call, a contact form that emails you, Google Maps and your hours
- Google-ready: page titles, descriptions, LocalBusiness schema, sitemap and Search Console set-up
- Analytics installed, so you can see how many people visit and call
- One round of revisions, then a handover call so you can edit text yourself
What isn't included (and costs extra)
Starter keeps a fixed scope so the price stays low. These are quoted separately, and only if you want them: online booking, payments or a shop, customer logins, a blog with many posts, a second language, custom illustration or photography, and copywriting beyond light editing of your text.
Hosting and the domain are billed by the provider to your own account, typically US$5–25 a month.
Starter or a custom business website?
Choose Starter if you need a credible, fast site that turns local searches into calls, and your offer fits on a few pages. Choose a custom business website (from US$2,000) if you need a design made from scratch, more pages, integrations, or features such as booking and payments. You can start with Starter and grow it later; nothing is thrown away.
How it works
- A 20-minute call about your business and customers
- A fixed written quote within one business day
- You send your text, logo and photos (I'll tell you exactly what's needed)
- I build it in about 10 working days; you review it on a private link
- One round of changes, then launch on your domain

Questions about the Starter website
Because the layout is a proven one I've already built and tested, adapted to your brand, and the scope is fixed. You still get custom content, accessibility testing and a fast, hand-built site, not a drag-and-drop template.
No. It's a hand-built site that you own outright, with no monthly builder fee. It loads faster than builder sites and passes accessibility checks that builder templates often fail.
Yes. The Starter site is built so features can be added without starting over; each is quoted on its own.
You provide the facts about your business (services, prices, hours, a few photos). I shape them into clear pages and lightly edit the text. Full copywriting is available as an extra.
You review the site on a private link before launch and get a full round of changes. The quote states exactly what's included, so there are no surprises.
