a website that stays looked after.

most small business sites are built once, then quietly rot. we build yours for a flat fee and keep it running for a flat monthly fee, changes included.

pricing

both flat, both month to month, neither with a surprise invoice in it.

for tech companies
$500 to start
then $500/mo of continued development

startups needing engineering capacity this month without justifying a hire.

  • real feature work, off your backlog.
  • full stack, including the infrastructure nobody wants to own.
  • no recruiter, no payroll, no onboarding, no severance.
  • scope agreed monthly.
  • you own everything. repo, accounts, infrastructure.
something else? one-off builds, rescues, and internal tools get quoted the same way: a flat number before any work starts.

what the $100 a month actually covers

the part people expect to be a catch.

hosting
fast, with SSL. no renewal notices, no bill from a host you forgot you had.
your domain
registered in your name, so it is yours whatever happens between us.
every change you ask for
hours, prices, photos, a whole new page. small ones land same day.
fixes, without you asking
broken links, dead forms, images that stopped loading. we check so you do not have to.
backups and updates
if something breaks it goes back to working, not to a support ticket.
someone who answers
no ticket queue, no account manager, no handoff.

outside it: paid third party services you add, like booking or payments. those bill you directly, and we tell you the cost first.

how it goes

most sites are live inside two weeks. nothing is charged before you agree the price.

01
we look at what you have now

free, and yours either way. no site yet? we look at your competitors instead.

02
a flat price, in writing

what gets built, what it costs, when it goes live. one number. if you do not need us, we say so.

03
we build it

you watch it on a real link, not a slide deck. you say what to change until it is right.

04
it goes live, and stays looked after

changes are an email from then on. no request form, no hourly minimum, no next quarter.

what you are choosing between

including where the others genuinely beat us.

a site builderwix, squarespace, godaddy
cheapest on paper, and fine if you enjoy it. the cost is that you are the web person forever, and the site stops getting updated the first busy month you have.
a cheap freelancerone-off, low price
good ones are worth it. the failure is after launch: they move on, nobody has the logins, and a year later the prices are still wrong.
an agencytypically several thousand up front
right for a big brand with a marketing team. for a five person business it means a large invoice, then an hourly rate to correct a phone number.
yuru.be$400 + $100/mo
low to start, predictable after, changes included so they get made. you deal directly with whoever builds it. if you want an agency's process and account team, we are the wrong choice.

who you are actually hiring

most of our work is evaluation for frontier AI labs, which is why a restaurant site will not be the thing that breaks. whoever reads your email is whoever wrote your site.

the questions everyone asks

do I own the site?
yes. the domain is in your name and the site is yours. if you leave, we hand over the files and help you move. we are not holding your business hostage over $100.
what happens if I cancel?
nothing dramatic. no contract, no minimum term. you keep the domain and the files, and hosting runs to the end of the month you paid for. tell us where it is going and we will help.
why a monthly fee at all? can I just pay once?
it pays for the site still working in two years. the alternative is a bigger number up front and an hourly rate forever, which is how sites end up with three year old prices on them. want a one-off build instead? we will quote it, and tell you honestly it is usually the worse deal.
how many changes are actually included?
as many as a normal business has. hours, photos, prices, a new page, a typo. it stops being maintenance when it becomes a second website or a custom app, and then we quote it separately rather than quietly slowing down.
how fast is a change?
text and photo changes same day, next day at worst. a new page is a few days. anything larger gets a date when you ask, not after you chase.
how long until it is live?
usually under two weeks. the slow part is never the building, it is waiting on your photos and copy. have those ready and it moves fast.
I already have a site. can you just fix it?
often yes, and usually cheaper. send the address and we will tell you whether it is worth repairing or replacing. plenty need a few fixes, not a rebuild.
do you do online stores?
yes, plus payments, booking, and forms that go where they should. anything with a third party service attached gets priced before you commit.
what does the tech tier mean by scope agreed monthly?
we agree what the month holds at the start of it. honest in both directions: you know what you are getting, and we are not quietly absorbing a full time job for a part time price.

send us your site. we will tell you what is broken on it.

free, no call, and yours whether or not you hire us. we send back the specific things costing you customers: dead links, forms that do not send, a phone number that dials wrong. most sites have at least one.
