Sound familiar?

  • "Our site is years old and I'm embarrassed to send people to it."
  • "The agency proposal took two weeks to arrive and the project would take three months."
  • "Every small change means emailing a developer and waiting."
  • "I just need something clean that says what we do and gets people to book."

The problem

Most small business websites don't need a long discovery phase. They need a few clear pages, a way to book or get in touch, and something the owner can update on a Tuesday night without help.

A tight scope is what makes seven days possible. We agree the pages and features on a 15-minute call, you send what you have, and we build. No hourly meter, no open-ended rounds of feedback.

What's included

Custom design

Designed around your business and brand, not a stock theme with your logo dropped in.

Core pages

The pages a small business needs, usually home, services or products, about and contact. The exact list is fixed in your scope.

Your copy, in place

We place your text and tighten it to fit the layout, and flag anything a visitor will look for that's missing.

Contact or booking

A form or booking link that lands in your inbox or calendar.

Search basics

Page titles, meta descriptions, a sitemap and a fast, mobile-friendly layout.

Editor and handoff

An editor your team can use, accounts in your name, and a walkthrough so you can make changes yourself.

Proof

Sites we build and keep current

For Absolutely Live Entertainment, which produces jazz festivals and concert series, we built an Events page covering seven programs and cleared out stale pages and past events. Changes now go live when the owner sends an email, with no login on his side.

For Yogapalooza, we rebuilt the website with a blog the team now posts to on their own.

Questions

Can a small business website really be built in a week?
Yes, when the scope is clear and the content is ready. That's why we fix the page list on the call and start the clock once your text, logo and photos are in. Bigger sites with many templates or integrations are a different project, and we'll say so on the call.
How much does a small business website cost?
Fixed-price builds from agencies usually cost several thousand dollars and take weeks. Ours is $2,000 flat for a website live in seven days. Your domain and hosting are separate and billed to you directly.
What do I need to have ready?
Your logo, the text for each page (rough is fine), photos, and access to your domain. If you don't have photos, tell us on the call and we'll plan around it.
Do you write the copy?
We place your copy and tighten it to fit the design. If you're starting from a blank page, tell us on the call and we'll scope the writing before the week starts.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes. You get an editor your team can use and a walkthrough at handoff. If you'd rather not touch it, we can take updates on a monthly plan: you send an email, the change goes live.
