Small business website questions, answered in plain words.

Rent to own, no contract: 5 pages for $99 a month, 20 pages for $199 a month or 40 pages for $299 a month, each for 24 months, and then the website is yours. Or pay up front and take 15% off: $2,019.60, $4,059.60 or $6,099.60. Send the form and you get a fixed price [within two business days], with a picture of your homepage to look at while you decide.

About three weeks from your go-ahead for a five-page site, most of it waiting on your photos and your turnaround on checking it; the build itself is two to three weeks. [20 and 40 pages: timeline to confirm.] You check every step on your own phone, and launch day is a Tuesday, never a Friday.

Nobody can promise you a number, and you should walk away from anyone who does. First test the site you have: pull it up on your phone on one bar of signal, and if it loads in a few seconds, says what you do on the first screen and puts your number under your thumb, keep it. If it does not, here is how ours are built to get called: they load on a weak signal, the number is one tap away on every screen, your town and your services are on every page so you show up when someone types what you do and where, and your Google Business Profile points at it. Send the form and hold the free mockup next to your current site on the same phone; there is nothing to buy to find out.

Every plan ships with the on-page basics: page titles, your services and your town written the way people type them, and a site that loads fast on a phone. More pages means room for a page per service and a page per town, which is what the 20 and 40 page plans are for. [Google Business Profile setup and ongoing SEO: to confirm.] There is no monthly report nobody reads.

Yes. The mockup, the call, the build and the launch all happen on your phone, wherever you are. The photos are yours to send from your phone.

Yes. It is yours after the last of the 24 monthly payments, or from day one if you pay up front. There is no contract on the monthly plan. [To confirm: what hosting and edits are included during the 24 months, after them and on an up-front purchase, and what happens to the site if payments stop early.]

You can, and for a side hustle with no plans to grow, a template can be enough. Where templates fall down is in the real world: slow to load on weak signal, a phone number three scrolls down, nothing about your town, and stock photos of people who do not work for you. The part that gets you found is the work you are paying us for; the pretty part is the easy part. If you would rather see the difference than read about it, the mockup is free.

You send six things: your name, your company as it reads on the truck or the sign, what you do, the town you work from, your mobile number and, if you know it, how many pages you have in mind. We take our homepage layout for your kind of business, put your name, your service and your town on it with a call button where a thumb lands, and text you a picture of it on a phone with a fixed price [within two business days]. The catch: it is a picture, not a working site, until you say go, and if we have not built for your kind of business yet we start from the closest one. That’s the whole pitch, and it costs you a text.

For most businesses: Home, Services (or Menu), Work (or Gallery), About with your service area, and Contact with the form and hours. Each trade page on this site lists the five we would build for that trade.

Room for a page per service and a page per town you work in, which is what shows up when someone types that job and that town.
