How it works
Here's how it actually works.
From the first click to a year on. No jargon. No fluff.
Your first 21 days.
- 01 / 06Day 1
You sign up.
You pick a plan. You pay. Takes two minutes. A receipt lands in your inbox. Then you get a link to the brief.
- 02 / 06Day 1 or 2
You tell us your story.
A 10-minute guided form. Save and come back if you need to. If any of your answers need sharpening, we'll drop you an email — no scheduled call. Most briefs go through without a single clarification.
- 03 / 06Day 3 to 5
Our team starts on your site.
Real people, not a template generator. A designer from our team picks up your brief and gets to work.
- 04 / 06Day 5 to 7
Your first mockup.
You click around. You send us what you like and what you don't — in plain English, over email. "The blue's too corporate — can we try green" is a valid brief.
- 05 / 06Day 7 to 14
Revisions.
Most sites need one or two rounds. A big redirection is fine. Small tweaks are faster. We turn around changes in 2 business days.
- 06 / 06Day 14 to 21
We launch.
Final approval, then we go live. Domain connects. SSL provisions. We ping your Google Business Profile so Google knows there's a new website.
The thing you stop thinking about.
The launch is the beginning, not the end. What we charge for, month after month, is the boring stuff that keeps it working.

Two ways in. Same price.
Signing up online yourself.
Most people buy this way. You land on the site, pick a plan, fill in the brief in your own time. Our team picks it up from there. This is how 90% of customers start.
Working with a rep.
Some small businesses meet us at a trade show, get referred, or hear about us from their accountant. A rep walks you through the plans and can fill in the brief on your behalf.
You get the same product, the same price, and the same timeline either way. Reps don't come with a price premium.

The things people always ask.
How do I cancel?
Email us or click Cancel in your account. Monthly plans run to the end of your current billing period — up to ~31 days from when you cancel. Annual plans run out the prepaid year. No refunds for unused time on either plan; no further charges are made after you cancel. Your domain, content, and files come with you.
Who owns the website?
You do. We build it; you own it. If you ever leave, we transfer everything.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The whole point is you don't touch the tech.
What if you're not a fit?
Cancel any time. Monthly plans end at the close of your current billing period; annual plans run out the prepaid year. We don't issue refunds for unused time, but we don't charge exit fees either, and your domain and content come with you.
How do I know you'll still be around in 3 years?
Fair question. We're a business; we plan to be. Worst case, you still own your domain and content — if something happened to us, you'd move to another provider with everything intact. That's the structure of the deal.
Ready to start?
Two minutes to sign up. Live in 2–3 weeks. Cancel any time.
