A phone-first site for an owner-run business

Meridianville, north of Huntsville in Madison County, is the kind of place where the business is the owner: one person who answers the phone, does the work and closes up. For a business like that, the site has one measure, which is whether the phone rings, and everything about how we build it follows from that.

Tap to call, on every page

The number sits at the top of every page as a button, because a customer on a phone does not want to copy a number into the dialer. The form is there for the ones who would rather write, and it lands in your inbox, but the phone comes first.

Hours that are right

Nothing loses a customer like driving out to a closed door. The hours on the site and on your Google Business Profile match each other and match the door, and when they change, the site changes with them, by us under the care plan or by you with the site editor.

Built to load fast on a phone

The pages are static, served from Cloudflare's network, with no database and no plugins, so there is nothing to slow them down and nothing to patch. Every site is built to load fast on a phone and checked on every build. We do not quote load times or scores as promises; the build and the check are the promise.

The price

A standard five-page site starts at $2,450 and most take 2–3 weeks. You get the price in writing before anything starts, you own the site and the domain, and there is no long-term contract.

Hosting and care for owners with no time

The owner who runs the business alone does not have an afternoon for the website. The care plan is built for that. For $97 a month we host the site, back it up daily, keep it updated, and make up to two hours of small edits a month from an email: a new photo, a change to the text, a section removed or copied. Not new pages.

If all you need is the site kept running, the hosting-only plan at $47 a month covers hosting, daily backups and updates with no edits. If you would rather change your hours and photos yourself, the site editor add-on is $27 a month on top of the $97 plan. Each plan is month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.

Common questions

What if I have no time for the site?

That is what the $97 care plan is for: hosting, daily backups, updates and up to two hours of small edits a month, sent by email and made for you. The site runs without you touching it, and when something changes, you send a line and it is done.

Can I change my hours myself?

Yes, with the site editor add-on at +$27 a month on the $97 plan. You change hours, phone, text, photos and reviews, preview and publish; layout, colors and pages stay locked. Without the editor, email the change and it comes out of the two hours in the care plan.

How fast does it load?

Every site is built to load fast on a phone and checked on every build, with static pages served from Cloudflare's network and no plugins or database behind them. We do not publish load times or scores as promises, because they vary with the phone and the signal.
