One price to start, a clear range for anything you add, and a short set of questions when you are ready. Built for the people who already love your shop, and the ones who have not found it yet.
Where are you starting from?
Your website
A price for our first ten businesses, while we build our name in the neighbourhood.
$500$300 to start, $200 once your site is live. How soon it goes live depends on where you are starting from. The four cases are below, and we tell you which one you are in before you pay anything.
What $500 includes
Up to three pages, on your own domain, in your name
Built for phones first, because that is how your customers find you
The first thing they see: where you are, today's hours, a call button and directions
Your story, in your words, with your photos
A catalogue of up to 50 items with real prices, and "call or visit to buy"
Your events, which clear themselves once they have passed, and one seasonal section that switches itself on and off by date
One colour palette, chosen by you
One round of changes before it goes live
Set up so search engines and AI assistants can read your business properly
Free with your site: we fix your Google listing, so your hours, category, photos and details are right. That alone often brings people through the door before the website does.
Not included: taking payments online, connecting your till or card reader, extra pages, or writing your words from nothing. Each one is on the menu below, with its price.
$500 covers a brand-new build too. How far it goes depends on how complex your business is and what you bring us, which is exactly why the questions matter.
How soon it goes live
Four honest answers, because "a couple of days" is only true in one of them.
We already built it and showed you24 to 48 hoursIt goes live as you saw it, with your updates, once we have your domain access and your OK.
Built from pieces we have already madeAbout 7 daysAssembled from parts we have built and tested before, then fitted to your business, your words and your photos.
A full build from nothing14 to 28 daysMost finish sooner than 28 days. The window is honest, not padded.
A shop, a till connection, or anything deeperQuoted on its ownLonger, and priced separately once we know what you already use at the counter.
Why a full build takes weeks, not days. That time goes into getting your search setup right, testing everything behind the scenes, and talking with you while it is being made. You also get a link to watch the front of your site come together, so nothing at the end is a surprise.
Whichever one you are in, the clock starts when we have access to your domain and your written OK on the photos, prices, hours and wording.
Improving the site you have
Pilot prices for our first ten businesses. Which one fits depends on what we find when we look, and we tell you before you pay anything.
Rescue$150 to $400It is broken, marked not secure, or unreadable on a phone. We fix that, on the platform it already uses, and nothing else.
Refresh$400 to $750It works, but it looks dated or reads badly. A new look and clearer words, where it already lives.
Rebuild$500 to $750We replace it with a site we build, on your own domain and in your own name, and bring your words, photos and pages across.
Rebuild and extendRebuild, plus the add-onA rebuild, plus something your site never did before. Pick it from the menu below.
Honestly: improving a site is not always cheaper than starting fresh. We inherit what is already there: pages people have saved that must keep working, email that must not stop, and sometimes an account nobody can sign in to any more. We look first, and tell you which is cheaper for you.
Included in every upgrade
A look at your current site before anything is quoted
Pages people have saved or linked kept working, or pointed at their new home
Your email carried through the change, and checked afterwards
Your words and photos brought across, not retyped and not lost
A written list of what changes and what goes, agreed before anything is switched
Quoted separately: getting back into an account nobody can sign in to. It can take days, it depends on the platform, and sometimes it cannot be done, so we price your job as if it cannot. Also not included: content a platform will not let out, or anything that only worked because of the old platform.
How long it takes is in your written quote, which you get within three working days of us looking at your site.
How this works
From the first conversation to your site going live, in order.
We talk. In person or on the phone. You tell us about the business, and we mostly listen.
You answer the questions on the other tab. Skip anything you are unsure of; we will work it out together.
You get a written quote within three working days: what you are getting, what it costs, and how long it takes. Nothing starts until you say yes.
You sign, and pay the deposit. The agreement is written in plain language.
We build it. You get a private link to watch it come together, and we check in with you while it is made.
You approve it in writing: the photos, prices, hours and wording.
It goes live on your own domain, and we check your email still works before we call it done.
Sometimes we have already built a first version to show you. Then most of this is done, and it can be live within 24 to 48 hours of your OK.
What we need from you
Your photos, or a time for us to come and take them
Your words, or the time to talk them through with us
Access to your domain when it is time to go live. Never your password.
A quick yes or no when we ask
What you get from us
A site built for your business, in your name
A private link to watch it being made
Price and timing in writing, before anything starts
Help after launch, on whichever terms you choose below
Keeping it running
Your first three months include one update a month. After that, choose what fits.
One-off update$75One change when you need it, no plan.
Basic Care$59 to $89 / moOne update a month, we watch your domain renewal, and we fix anything that breaks.
Plus Care$129 to $199 / moThree updates a month, your events posted as they come, seasonal swaps, and a short monthly summary of your visitors.
An update means: you email us what you want changed. Up to five photos, or your hours, prices or wording, or up to five items, or your next event. We confirm, make the change within five working days, and tell you when it is done.
Owning your own site
The question most people ask too late.
Your web address is yours. It is registered in your name, you pay its yearly renewal directly, and it stays yours whatever happens to us.
Why it matters. Everything your customers have saved, printed or searched for points at that address. If someone else owns it, leaving them can mean losing it.
We set you up so that cannot happen. Your hosting is in your name too. Once your site is paid for it is yours, and you can end our work with thirty days' notice and keep all of it.
Then choose how it is looked after
You run it, with a one-page guideincludedWhat you look after, what to keep an eye on, and exactly how to ask for a change when you need one.
We look after itfrom $59 / moA monthly plan, above. You tell us what you want changed, and we change it.
Add when you are ready
Each one has a range. You get an exact written quote within three working days of choosing.

Sell online
Connect the store you already have$300 to $600If your checkout system includes an online store, we switch it on, load your items, match it to your site, and test a real order.
Build checkout into your site$1,200 to $2,500When you have no online store: a trusted payment page, your items, shipping and pickup, and order emails. Then $100 to $200 a month to keep it running.
Card details are only ever entered on the payment company's own page, never on ours. The money goes straight to your account.
How paying works
There is always a deposit. It covers the first work and holds your place.
Anything over $500 can be split into three monthly payments, at no extra cost.
If money is tight, say so. We are willing to work with you on how it is paid. Longer plans are for fully built sites, and the longest we spread anything is six months.
What you pay other companies, in your own name: your domain, your email, card processing fees, and any provider plan you choose. We tell you what they are before you decide.
Neighbours
When businesses in one building come on board together, everyone saves: one research pass, one photo day, shared events.
Two businesseslistings freeYour listings setup included for each of you.
Three or fourhalf priceListings and the answers page at half price for each business.
Five or moreplus a photo dayBoth of the above, a shared photo day, and a page linking every business in the building.
What we promise, and what we will not
Your domain, your accounts and your content stay yours. Once you have paid, the site is yours.
We do the work that helps people find you. Nobody can promise a position in search results, and we do not.
We never write health or healing claims into your words.
You can end a care plan with thirty days' notice, and your site stays yours.
