What’s included in every build, page counts & ownership
Included in every website build
- Copywriting for every page, drafted by me and approved by you
- Mobile-friendly design
- Tap-to-call button, map, hours, and a contact form sent to your email (Expanded: a quote/booking request form, or an embed of a tool you already use)
- Basic on-page local SEO: page titles, descriptions, headings, and business name, address, and phone matching your Google profile
- Basic Google Business Profile setup at no extra charge: claim/verification help, primary category, hours, description, website link, and up to 10 photos you provide
- Google Search Console and basic analytics, set up in your name
- Basic speed and image optimization
- Revision rounds as listed above
- 30 days of post-launch fixes for anything I built that isn’t working
- A 30-minute walkthrough so you can make simple edits yourself
Page counts: a Launch Page that needs more than 3 pages moves up to Standard. A Standard Site can add up to 2 extra pages at $150 each (7 pages max, $1,800). 8–10 pages is an Expanded Site. Over 10 pages is a custom quote.
Quoted separately: online stores, booking or ordering systems beyond embedding a tool you already use, logo design, professional photography, and translations.
Domain & hosting: your domain is registered in your name (domain fees are yours), and I keep admin access only until your final payment clears, or, if you choose Site Care, while your plan is active. Hosting is included in Site Care; without Site Care, you pay hosting fees directly to your own provider. Once you’ve paid in full, you own the site.
