The working parts, item by item
- Automated emails. An inquiry at 9pm gets an answer at 9pm — acknowledgment, what happens next, your contact line. If the thread goes quiet, a follow-up sends itself. You see everything; nothing requires you to be at a desk.
- Forms with one inbox of record. Every submission lands in one place you can scan, sort and search — not a notification that scrolled away. You always know what came in this week and what hasn’t been answered.
- Booking built in. Customers pick a slot from the site. No back-and-forth texts, no third-party booking subscription bolted on.
- SEO wiring. Titles, descriptions, sitemap, schema markup — the technical layer search engines and AI assistants read — set up correctly on day one, not retrofitted.
- Traffic tracking. Analytics installed and connected, so “is the website doing anything?” has a numeric answer you can see.
- Local schema. Your business name, area and phone marked up the way Google’s local results and AI answers expect — consistent with your Google Business Profile.
- Ownership of all of it. Domain, hosting and code in accounts registered to you. Hosting is paid straight to the host at cost — typically a few dollars a month. There is no maintenance retainer and no monthly bill from us.
What it deliberately is not
It’s not a template with your logo dropped in, and it’s not a $20-a-month builder page — both are fine for a placeholder, and we’ll say so if that’s all you need. The $3,000 floor buys a site with a job: capturing, answering and booking work while you’re on a roof or under a sink.
What moves the price above the floor
More pages, copywriting from scratch, photography coordination, migrations from an old site with lots of content — scoped and quoted before anything starts (the website offer →). And when you’re ready, the same build grows into a business system: quoting, scheduling, a customer portal — from $5,000, one-time.
