What you get

The whole thing. No shortcuts.

01

Custom design

No templates, no page builders. Designed around what your customers need to decide.

02

A hand-built website

Up to about six pages, written in code we own. Loads in under a second on a phone.

03

A working back end

An admin where every inquiry is scored, sorted, and tracked, plus one custom feature such as quotes or booking requests.

04

Set up to be found

Clean structure, fast pages, and the basics Google needs to show you to people nearby.

05

Deployed to your server

We install it on your own VPS or dedicated server. You own every file.

06

Thirty days of support

We stay close after launch and fix anything that comes up.

The catch

Why so low?

Fair question. Here's exactly what we ask for in return. No fine print.

It becomes a case study

We publish the project in our portfolio: screenshots, a short write-up, and results if you're willing to share them.

Honest feedback

Tell us what worked and what didn't. If you're happy, a short review helps us a lot.

A focused scope

About six pages and one custom feature. If you need more, we'll quote the difference up front.

Your domain and server

You bring a domain and a small VPS, usually six to twelve dollars a month. We'll help you pick one.

Questions

Before you ask.

Why is it so cheap?
We're new, and a portfolio of real client work is worth more to us right now than the fee. You get the same care as a full-price project.
What's the catch?
We show the finished site in our portfolio and ask for honest feedback. That's all of it.
Who is it for?
Local businesses that win work through their website: contractors, clinics, studios, shops, firms. Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend first, but we'll consider anyone.
What happens when the five spots are gone?
The offer ends. You can join the waitlist and we'll let you know if a spot opens or when we run the next one.
Do I own the site?
Yes. The design, the content, and the code are yours, and it runs on your own server.
What else will I pay for?
Your domain name and a small server, which you pay for directly. We don't sell hosting and there are no monthly fees to us.

5 spots. Then the price goes back up.
