We ship it, train you, and stick around to refine, automate, and scale as you grow.

"Five loaves and two fish fed thousands. The miracle was never the size of what was offered — it was the faith to bring a little and trust it to be multiplied."

What's the difference in tools? A Business tool is one interactive front-end feature (calculator, finder, or booking form). A Pro tool is a full app with a staff back office and a shared database — your team sets pricing or info once and it updates across your whole site.

How a page is counted. A page is a page we design. A catalogue is one design — if your site lists six materials or twenty products, each with its own page, its own specification and its own photographs, that is one page of design rather than six or twenty. It is why a full catalogue site fits inside a plan instead of running the count up. Genuinely different pages beyond your plan are $100 each.

Every plan includes Hosting, SSL & domain Security & uptime monitoring ~30 min of edits / month Custom-tool upkeep Bigger changes $75/hr · 12-mo term

Pricing questions, answered

What's a "custom tool"?

An interactive feature built for your business. On Business that means a basic one — a quote or estimate calculator, a product or service finder, a booking and lead form.

On Pro it is a different order of thing: a full app with a staff back office and a shared database, so your team sets pricing or stock once and it updates everywhere.

The dividing line is not the subject, it is what sits behind it. A paint configurator that lets someone try colours is a Business tool. A 3D configurator your customer can turn, spec and price is a Pro one, and on Pro it is included rather than quoted — it is modelled and tuned against your standard range until it actually looks right.

Is there a contract?

Yes — a 12-month term on the monthly plan. That covers your hosting, security, monitoring, custom-tool upkeep, and up to ~30 minutes of edits each month. After the term you're free to continue month-to-month.

What does the monthly cover?

Hosting, SSL, domain management, security & uptime monitoring, upkeep of your custom tool, and about 30 minutes of content edits per month. Traffic reporting and analytics are not part of Care — those come with Local SEO, where reading the numbers and acting on them is the actual work. Larger changes are billed at $75/hr or quoted up front so there are no surprises.

Can I add features later?

Absolutely. You can add extra pages, extra tools, or upgrade a Business tool to a full back-office app at any time — see the add-ons above. Your site is built to grow with you.

Do I own my site?

Yes — the site is built for your business and it's yours. We handle the hosting and care so you don't have to think about the technical side.

SEO & AI Search

Get found by Google —
