Pricing

How working together works.

One custom build, two ways to buy it. Then a platform that keeps the site found. Every number is on this page.

The build

One build, two ways to buy it.

The same custom site both ways: same design, same server-rendered HTML, same care. The only difference is the commitment: the lower price is the bigger commitment, not the smaller build.

Recommended

Fair questions.

Do I have to take the platform?

No. The standalone build is $697: the site, yours, no commitment, with one month of the platform free so you can see what it does. The platform exists because the questions people ask AI keep moving, but the build is yours either way, and it will be readable on the day we hand it over.

What if I already have a website?

Most of our clients do. If it was built on Wix or WordPress a few years ago, it probably looks fine and reads terribly. That's exactly the case we rebuild. We'll audit it on the call and show you what an AI actually receives from it.

How long does a rebuild take?

Days, not weeks. One business, one site, built by one person, start to finish. You talk to the same person the whole way through.

Who do you work with?

Local service businesses: restaurants, trades, shops, salons, studios. The people whose customers ask “who does this near me?” If that question decides who gets the work, you’re who we build for.
