How it works

1

Start

Send us your logo, photos, and info about who you are and what you do.
2

Launch

We build it where you can see it, then go live on a planned day.
3

Grow

When you’re ready for more, we’ll build on what you already have.

Who it’s for

  • You’ve made the leap (or you’re about to).
  • You want a site that looks professional from day one.
  • Your time is too valuable to DIY everything.
  • You want a real person to call, not a bot or a help article.
New businesses and nonprofits are welcome. There’s no checklist to qualify.
Not sure if you fit? Ask. We’ll tell you plainly.
Why we do this

Small business is the American story.

Entrepreneurship is a fundamental part of the spirit of this country. If you’re about to begin, take some pride in that. You’re part of something bigger.
We want to see every business grow. If you’ve been at it for years, we’re here for you, too. Not just today, but for the long haul.

We’d love to grow with you.

We encourage entrepreneurship. Every established business started somewhere.

More pages

Add them as the business takes shape.

Online booking

For when the calendar fills up.
Nothing gets thrown away. The work you’ve paid for carries forward.

Making every dollar count.

Advertising and search, at the right time for your business.

Ask us anything

Running on a tight operating budget? We’re glad to answer questions about getting the most from every dollar.

Start with search

Being easy to find on Google is often the best first step, and it’s already part of your Starter Site. Our guides for business owners can help you get started.

Grow in stages

As you grow, we’ll suggest advertising and search options that make sense for each stage. See Advertising →

Why not just build it yourself?

You can. Plenty of people try.
But a do-it-yourself site is one more job on a list that’s already ten miles long.
With us, there’s a real person on the other end of the phone, in North Carolina, who knows your site. They’re ready to have the headaches so you don’t have to.

Questions, answered.

The package

What do I get?

A custom-designed, five-page website: home, about, services, contact, and one more of your choosing, with your logo, your content, and your photos. It’s easy to read and easy to call from on a phone, with a contact form that sends inquiries straight to your inbox, basic search setup, and one round of revisions.

Will it be a template?

No, never. Your site is custom-designed for your business, with your logo, your content, and your photos. We don’t use fill-in-the-blank themes or templates.

What’s the difference between the Starter Site and the other sites you build?

Every Starter Site is still custom: designed for your business, on brand, with your logo, your colors and your photos. It’s never a template.

The difference is in how much we build in. To get you off to a quick start, we use a focused set of design elements that we’ve found work well for new businesses, and we leave out the more advanced features that suit established businesses, like staff dashboards or on-page animation. We also don’t add detailed schema (the behind-the-scenes code that helps search engines understand your business in depth), though it can be added for an additional fee.

As you grow, the site can grow with you.

Payments and timing

How do payments work?

The Starter Site is $1,500. A $500 deposit gets things started, and the remaining $1,000 is paid either as two payments of $500 or as one payment of $1,000. Your choice. Deposits are non-refundable. Your first year of hosting is included, a $600 value.

Is the deposit refundable?

No. Your deposit buys your place on our calendar. That time is set aside for you and can’t be given to another client, which is why deposits are non-refundable.

How long does it take?

Starter Sites go on our calendar where there’s availability. Your deposit reserves that time for you, so it isn’t available to anyone else. Once we start, your site is usually ready for your review within two weeks.

Your site and what comes next

What happens after the first year?

Your first year of hosting is on us. After that, managed hosting starts at $50 a month, billed once a year ($600 a year for the Starter Site), or starts at $75 a month on a dedicated instance. It’s everything in Site Care except the monthly hour of updates, with real people in North Carolina to call or write. If you’d like that hour, it’s on our Hosting & Care page.

What about my domain name?

We register your domain for you, in our account on your behalf, at no additional charge, and we manage its settings at Cloudflare so you don’t have to. If you’ve already reserved a domain, we can work with that. And if you ever leave us, your domain goes with you.

Can I add to my site as I grow?

Yes. When you’re ready for more, we’ll build on what you already have, whether that’s more pages, integrations, and features as the business takes shape. Nothing gets thrown away. The work you’ve paid for carries forward.

Can you help with Google and advertising?

Yes. Being easy to find on Google is often the best first step, and basic search setup is already part of your Starter Site, along with a link to your Google Business Profile. Our guide to getting your Google Business Profile right can help you get started. If you’re running on a tight operating budget, we’re glad to answer your questions. As you grow, we’ll suggest advertising and search options that make sense for each stage.
