Websites / Packages
A fast site, then monthly care
Websites cost too much and go stale too fast. I build them affordable, easy to change and up to date, then keep them that way.
If your information is ready, I can have a first draft of your site to you in about 48 hours. Then I look after it every month so it stays current, keeps working and keeps showing up when your customers search for what you do.
How it works
- We talk. A short call about what you do, where you work and who calls you.
- I build a first draft. If your information is ready, I can have a first draft to you in about 48 hours. I build it from your social media, what you send me and what's already said about you online.
- It goes live. You look it over, I make the changes, and it launches. Final timing depends on size: a 6 or 7 page site moves faster than a 50 page one.
- I look after it. Updates, fixes and your Google listing, every month, through one person you can call.

- A monthly automatic check of your Google profile, reviews and directory listings. I fix anything that's wrong and keep your name, phone and address the same everywhere.
- A quarterly refresh included: every quarter I go through your social media, reviews and listings, add your new work to the site, and send you a short report on how you're showing up online. (Up to 5 hours a quarter; past that, $150/hr, and I tell you first.)
- Month to month
Quarterly refresh
$500/quarter
for Site only and Site plus care clients
Included in Site plus care and local listings. Keeps your site current instead of sitting still. Once a quarter I go through your social media and other places you post, pull out the new work and put it on the site.
- New projects added
- New photos of your crew and jobs
- Seasonal updates, like hours, services or hiring
- If a refresh runs past 5 hours, extra time may be billed at $150/hr. I tell you before it does.
Add social media management
$500/month
added to any website package
I can run your social media too, so your posts and your site tell the same story. I manage 3 of your accounts with 2 posts a week, using real photos of your crew and your work.
The posts are only as good as what I have to work with. Send me photos of your crew, your jobs and your shop, and that is what I will use. If I don't have photos, I will use stock images, but they don't land as well as the real thing.
Each additional social media page is $100/month.
The fine print
- Hosting is separate. You can keep your site on your own GoDaddy, Wix or other account, and I work through your login. The site and the account stay in your name. If you would rather I host it, it is $50/month, plus $25/month if your site has a store.
- Online stores are quoted separately. None of the packages include building a store. If you want to sell online, I will quote that on its own.
- Updates go through me. All changes come through SCC, so the site stays consistent and nothing gets broken.
- Payment. 50% deposit to start, and the balance when the site is done. I take e-transfer.
- Change requests outside a plan are $150/hr. I tell you roughly how long first.
