FreeWe mock up your homepage before you decide anything

New websites for local businesses

We build websites for shops, clinics, salons and trades. First we send you a mock-up of your new homepage for free. If you like it, the full site is usually live within one to two weeks.

Before and after

A lot of local sites were built before phones took over.

If your site is more than a few years old, there's a decent chance it shows up on a phone as a tiny version of the desktop page. People have to zoom in to find your number, and some just call somewhere else.

Text you can read on a phone

The page fits the screen, so nobody has to zoom.

Up-to-date information

Current hours, prices and photos, and we can keep them updated for you.

Buttons for the things people want

Call, book or get directions in one tap.

How it works

It all happens over email, so you can reply whenever suits you.

Mock-up

We design your homepage using your current details and photos, and email it to you.

Deposit

If you want to go ahead, you pay half and send anything you'd like added or changed.

Revisions

You get a private link to the full site. If you don't like something, or it doesn't feel like your brand, let us know and we'll change it.

Launch

We point your domain at the new site. Then you pay the other half.

If you don't like the mock-up, you don't owe us anything.

There's nothing to sign until you decide to go ahead.

Pricing

We design and build the site, write the text with you, and get it running on your domain. You pay half when we start and half when the site goes live. Prices are in CAD for Canadian businesses and USD everywhere else.

FAQ

Questions

If yours isn't here, email us.

Do I need to already have a website or domain?

No. If you have a domain, we keep it. If not, we walk you through buying one in your name so you always own it.

Will my email address change?

No. We only change where your website points. Your existing email keeps working exactly as before.

How long does it take?

About a week from the deposit, depending on how quickly we get your details and feedback.

What if I don't like the mock-up?

Then you don't pay anything. Keep the picture if you like.

Can I update the site myself later?

Yes. Or we can do it for you. The care plan covers small edits every month.

Is there a limit on changes?

No. We'll keep adjusting the design and wording until you're happy with it. New features that weren't part of your plan, like an online store or extra pages, are quoted separately before we start.

Do I have to sign up for the care plan?

No. It's optional. Without it, we hand over everything you need to host the site yourself.
