The $500 build
Everything a local business site needs to earn trust and get contacted.
A straightforward website for the business owner who needs customers to understand the service, trust the company, and send an inquiry.
Fixed starting point
One focused page or a few tight sections, depending on the business. The scope stays clear, the build stays lean, and the final site feels credible on day one.
- +Clear homepage structure with services, proof, location, and contact paths
- +Contact form or estimate request with click-to-call and click-to-email
- +Mobile-responsive layout tested across common screen sizes
- +Local SEO foundations and metadata setup
- +Domain and hosting guidance without locking you into a platform
- +30 days of post-launch cleanup for small fixes and refinements
The difference
Small does not have to look temporary.
Most owner-led businesses do not need a giant web project. They need a sharp, trustworthy front door that answers the obvious questions quickly.
What gets in the way
- -No website, or one that makes the business feel less credible than the work actually is
- -A social profile doing the job of a real website
- -No obvious path for estimates, calls, or service questions
- -Expensive platform decisions before the real site needs are clear
What the site fixes
- +A modern page that explains who you are, where you work, and why people should contact you
- +Service sections that turn scattered details into something customers can scan
- +Fast contact options from the first screen through the footer
- +A site you own, can move, and can keep running without platform lock-in

The site stays yours.
The setup is intentionally portable so the business is not trapped inside a tool it never asked for.

The website files belong to you. No proprietary builder dependency hidden behind the project.
Domain guidance

30-day support
Post-launch cleanup is included so small fixes do not turn into a second project.
FAQ
Questions before you reach out.
A few practical details about timelines, ownership, scope, forms, and search setup.
Most brochure sites can be built and launched within two weeks once the content and scope are clear. The timeline depends mostly on how quickly the business details, photos, and feedback come together.
Yes. A focused one-page site is usually all a small business needs to look credible, explain the service, and create a clear path to contact. If your business needs more, such as extra service pages, location pages, galleries, or a more custom structure, reach out and we can see what fits the goal.
You do. I guide you through any domain or hosting account setup so everything stays in your name. Once you invite me as a developer, I handle the technical setup and launch work inside those accounts.
For brochure sites, I usually connect contact or estimate forms through a trusted hosted form service such as Web3Forms, Formspree, or another right-sized option that fits the project. That keeps the setup direct while still giving the business email delivery, spam controls, and a clean customer contact path.
Every site includes local SEO setup for the brochure-site scope: clean page structure, titles, descriptions, performance-minded markup, and guidance for your Google Business Profile. Ongoing SEO campaigns are outside the $500 build.
Yes. After the included 30 days of cleanup, I offer a $29.99 per month service contract for routine site updates whenever they are needed, with priority handling. Clients on the plan also receive discounted pricing for larger additions such as new pages, refreshed designs, or future sites.
