01 — What we do

The offer in one paragraph

Plain English websites for Main Street businesses.

We work with dentists, restaurants, contractors, salons, and the rest of the businesses that depend on customers walking through the front door. One owner, one site, built carefully.

Every site we ship has real photography of your place, copy in your own voice, and a layout that earns its keep on a phone. Fast to load, simple to update, yours to keep.

02 — Selected work

Two we shipped recently.

Different businesses, same care.

Each site is shaped to the business it's for — not poured into the same template. Two recent ones:

  • ConnectCom homepage hero — dark navy interface, white headline reading Cut Your Telecom & Cloud Costs Without Vendor Bias, radar diagram visualization.
    connectcom.tech
    Plate i — Shipped 2026 · Next.js, Tailwind

    B2B advisory · Telecom & cloud

    ConnectCom

    Dark, technical, trust-forward. Built to convert SMB IT leaders who hate sales calls — a free-audit funnel that treats expertise as the product.

  • SlotBuddy homepage hero — cream background, serif headline reading Your booking page, live before your coffee goes cold, with a booking UI mockup for Joe's Barbershop.

    Plate ii — Shipped 2026 · Next.js, Tailwind, Drizzle

    SaaS · Booking for service businesses

    SlotBuddy

    Editorial warmth meets product utility. A serif headline carries the pitch, a working booking mockup carries the demo. No-app, no-account, no-friction — and the copy says exactly that.

03 — How it goes

Four weeks. Same path every time.

Four weeks, four steps, no fog.

Same path for every project. You always know what's happening next.

Plate ii — Working it out, on paper, first

  1. 01

    Kickoff

    We meet, learn the business, agree on scope and a fixed price. No moving goalposts later.

  2. 02

    Design

    You see the homepage in a week. We iterate on a real preview link, not slides.

  3. 03

    Build

    We build the rest. You watch the preview grow, leave notes any time, never wait on a meeting.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Go live. We hand you the keys, then stick around for the small fixes that always come up.

04 — What it costs

Sites start at

$4,800

Fixed price, no hourly games. Bigger scopes — multiple locations, booking, e-commerce — start around $9,500.

Paid in two: half to start, half at launch
