BUILD
Websites designed to bring in work.
We design and build business websites on WordPress, WooCommerce, Drupal or custom code. Structure, writing and the path to contact come first, then the visual design that makes it look like a company worth hiring. Website Care Plus is our monthly plan for that: everything in Website Care, plus design, development and SEO, so there is no large bill at the start and we stay your web team after launch.
From $499 per month
Everything in Website Care, plus design, development and SEO. Yours after 12 monthly payments.
The most useful thing to bring isn't a list of pages. It's what the current site fails to do: inquiries that go nowhere, a product nobody can find, a form your staff have to retype.
What a design project covers.
Structure first
What the site contains, how it's grouped, and what a visitor should do on each page.
A design system, not a set of pages
Type, color, spacing and components defined once and used consistently.
Writing that earns its place
We'll edit hard and cut anything the page doesn't need.
Contact paths that are designed, not bolted on
Forms, buttons, phone numbers, quote requests. Part of the page from the start.
Built for phones first
Most of your visitors are on one.
Accessible by default
Real contrast, keyboard navigation and labeled forms.

What Website Care Plus includes.
- Built for your business, not from a template. Your structure, your pages, your words. Not a theme demo with the photos swapped.
- Your branding, not ours. We build around the logo and the colors you already have. If you don't have them yet, say so and we'll talk about it before anything is designed.
- Designed for a phone first. Most of your visitors are on one.
- A page layout that reads like a company worth hiring. Type, spacing and hierarchy done properly.
- A contact form that works and reaches you. Tested, and not left pointing at an address nobody checks.
- The search foundations. Titles, descriptions, headings, a sitemap and clean addresses.
- Google visibility setup. The tools your website needs to be found and measured, set up when it goes live: Google Analytics, Search Console, sitemap submission, indexing, and conversion tracking for the actions that matter, such as a form sent or a call tapped.
- Local business setup. If you serve an area, we can also help establish and configure your Google Business Profile, so Google has the information it needs to consider the business for Maps and local results. We set it up properly; nobody can promise where it appears.
- Fast enough to keep. Images sized properly, nothing loaded that the page doesn't use.
- Put live by us. Domain, certificate, redirects from the old site, and somebody watching the first day.
- Ongoing design and development, with three hours of work every month. We stay your web team after launch. Real changes, not fifteen-minute jobs: a new section, a form that does something different, the thing you thought of after launch. This is what Website Care Plus has instead of Care's Quick Fixes, not as well as them. Beyond the three hours, work is quoted at preferred development rates.
- Onsite SEO, kept up. Titles, descriptions, headings, structure and internal links, revisited as the site grows rather than set once at launch.
- Everything in Website Care. Managed hosting and CDN, updates, security hardening, malware scanning and a firewall, off-site backups, performance, analytics and conversion tracking, and hack recovery if it is ever needed.
What is quoted separately.
That figure is where a straightforward small business site starts: a handful of pages, telling people what you do and how to reach you. A store, a booking system, a members area, a directory, a portal or an application is a bigger job, and so is writing a site's worth of content from nothing or moving years of posts across. Work beyond the three hours a month is quoted before it starts, at preferred client rates.
Anything in that second list gets a written scope and a real number after we have looked at what you have. That is most of what we build, and it is where the interesting work is. Request a quote
How the monthly plan works.
We build it
We design the website and put it live, around the branding you already have. There is no large bill at the start.
You pay monthly
From $499 a month: the website, its Google setup (Analytics, Search Console, sitemap submission, conversion tracking), three hours of development work each month in place of Care's Quick Fixes, onsite SEO, and everything else in Website Care.
You can stop any time
No long-term contract. If you no longer need the website, stop the service.
After 12 monthly payments it is yours
Twelve monthly payments and you own the design outright. Stay on the plan, move down to Website Care, or take it elsewhere.
Twelve monthly payments and the website is yours.
There is no long-term contract. If you stop needing the website, you can stop the service. After 12 monthly payments you own the design outright: keep the plan, move down to Website Care, or take the website to someone else.
Before those 12 payments are made, stopping the service ends the service. It does not transfer the website.
How we approach it.
We'll tell you what isn't working
Plenty of people can make a website look current. Fewer will tell you the page you asked for shouldn't exist, that your three main buttons are competing with each other, or that nobody fills in the form because it asks for a budget range on the first screen.
A redesign is mostly about not breaking things
An established site has traffic, rankings, links and bookmarks. A redesign that ignores all that can lose you months of work in a weekend.
What to expect
- We learn what the business actually needs
- We agree what the site has to accomplish
- We settle structure before visuals
Past that it is scoped: how many templates there are, how much content needs writing, what has to be migrated and what it connects to.
Design questions.
Is Website Care Plus a one-time price?
No. Website Care Plus starts at $499 a month. It is a monthly plan rather than a project bill, which is why there is no large payment at the start. Bigger builds cost more a month, and we tell you the figure before anything starts.
Do I have to stay for 12 months?
No. You can stop the service at any time. Twelve monthly payments buys the website itself: complete twelve and the design is yours outright. Stop before then and the service ends, but the website does not transfer. There is no long-term contract either way, and the terms of the plan are set out on our terms page.
Do I own my website?
After 12 monthly payments, yes, outright. From that point you can stay on the plan, move down to Website Care at $199 a month, or take the site to another provider, and we will help you move it rather than making it difficult.
What if I need more development work?
Three hours a month are included. Past that we look at what you want, tell you what it involves and quote it before anything starts, at preferred client rates.
What if my project is bigger than that?
Stores, booking systems, members areas, directories, portals, custom applications, Drupal work, large migrations and anything with real integrations are quoted on their own. We look at what you have first, then give you a number in writing.
How long does a website take?
A focused business site is usually weeks rather than months.
Can you work with our existing brand?
Yes, and usually that's what happens. If you have brand guidelines we work inside them. If you have a logo and nothing else, we build the rest around it.
