The benefits

Why do I need a website? Because most customers look you up before they ever pick up the phone.

  1. Get found by new customers

    People search before they hire. A website puts your business in the results, ahead of competitors who don't have one.

  2. Earn trust before the first call

    Your work, reviews and contact details in one professional place make you look established and easy to choose.

  3. Bring in calls around the clock

    Tap-to-call buttons and a simple contact form turn visitors into leads, even while you're on a job or after hours.

How it works

Three steps. No pressure. You see your site before you pay for it.

  1. We talk

    A 20-minute call or a coffee. You tell me about your business and who you want calling you.

  2. Free demo

    I build a sample homepage for your business, so you can see it on your phone before you pay anything.

  3. Approve and go live

    You sign off, I finish the pages and connect your domain and Google profile. Live in about three weeks.

Who you'll work with

Hi, I'm Jace. One person, start to finish.

I build websites for small businesses that have been getting by on word of mouth and a Facebook page. The goal is simple: show up when people search, look trustworthy on a phone, and make it easy to call you. Plain English, month-to-month plans, and you always deal with me.

FAQ

Questions owners ask me.

Still wondering about something?

How much does a website cost?

A Starter site is $1,500, a Standard site is $2,500, and custom sites start at $3,500, paid once. Every site also needs hosting ($30 a month) or a care plan ($50 or $100 a month). You get a written, flat price before any work starts, and anything outside your plan is $75 an hour.

How long does it take?

About three weeks from the day I have your information, a few photos and access to your domain or Google profile. The free demo usually comes first, within a few days of our call.

What do I need to give you?

A list of your services, the towns you work in, a few photos of your work (phone photos are fine), your logo if you have one, and any reviews you're proud of. I can write the words for you.

Do I own my website and domain?

Yes. The domain and Google Business Profile are registered in your name, and I'm added as a helper. If you ever want to leave, I hand everything over.

Will it show up on Google?

I set up the pieces Google looks for: your Business Profile, clear page titles, your service area and a fast, mobile-friendly site. Nobody can honestly promise the number one spot, but you'll be in the running, which you can't be without a site.

What happens after it's live?

I host it and keep it running. Hosting alone is $30 a month. Starter care ($50 a month) adds tested updates and monthly checks, and Standard care ($100 a month) adds an hour of edits and a monthly report. Plans are month to month, and extra work is $75 an hour.

Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?

You can, if you have the time. The difference is that I do the work, the site is built to load fast and get calls, and when something needs changing you text me instead of learning a website builder.
