You have a name, maybe a logo scribbled on a napkin, and customers who keep asking if you have a website. You do not need to build everything before opening. What you need is a clear first version that tells people what you do, where, and how to get hold of you. You can add to it as the business grows.
The pages that matter on day one
For most new businesses five pages are plenty. A homepage that says what you do and who for in a sentence. A services page listing what you offer in plain words. An about page that tells people who you are. A contact page with a form and your hours or service area. And one more that fits your trade, such as a gallery, a menu or a simple price guide.
Anything beyond that can wait until you know what customers actually ask about.
What to prepare before you start
- ✓Your business name and a short description — what you do and for whom
- ✓A logo, or a simple name in a clean style — a logo is nice, not required
- ✓A few real photos — your work, your space or yourself
- ✓Your contact details and service area — where you work and how to reach you
Do not wait for perfect
New owners often delay the website until the logo, photos and wording are all finished. The result is no website for months, while the business is already open. A simple, honest site that exists beats a polished one that does not.
We write the copy for you, so you do not have to produce a pile of paragraphs. Send us a rough description in your own words and we shape it.
The first-year cost, plainly
The Launch Website is a one-time $399 for up to five pages, and it includes a consultation, mobile-friendly design, copy written for you, a contact form, essential search setup and 10 revision rounds. Website Care at $30/month adds managed hosting, HTTPS, backups, uptime checks and small edits.
Your domain name is a separate yearly registration paid to a registrar, usually a modest amount. Third-party tools you may add, like booking or payment processors, charge their own fees. We say this upfront so there are no surprises in month three.
Add later, not now
- ✓Online booking or ordering — we connect the tool you already use, or help set one up
- ✓More service pages — add them as customers ask for them
- ✓Monthly SEO — an optional add-on once the basics are in place
- ✓A blog or news page — only if you will actually keep it up
What to expect, honestly
- ✓A site does not bring visitors by itself — you still tell people it exists
- ✓We never promise rankings or leads — results depend on many things
- ✓Fast launch needs ready content — 48 hours is for eligible small projects only
