Pick a business. See its site.

People look you up before they call.

For a lot of local businesses, that search ends at a listing: a name, a phone number and a pin on a map. A real website shows your prices, your hours and your work, and gives people a reason to pick you over the shop down the road.

Drag the handle to compare.

Ironbark Auto Service is a made-up business we built as a sample.

How it works

  1. Tell us about your business

    Fill out the short form or send an email: your business name, your town, what you do, and your current site if you have one.

  2. We build your preview

    We design a real, working site for your business and send you a private link within 2 business days. Look at it on your phone, show it to your team.

  3. Say yes, and it goes live

    We make your changes, connect your domain and launch, usually within 1-2 days of your yes. You pay only once you've seen it and want it.

Sample sites

These are made-up businesses we built to show the kind of site you'd get. Each one is a full working site. Open one on your phone.

Inside every site

Every part of the page has a job: get the phone to ring, or get the form filled in. Here's one of our sample sites, taken apart.

Questions

The preview

Is the preview really free?

Yes. We build it, you look at it, and you decide. If it's not for you, nothing is owed and nothing gets charged.

How long does it take?

You get your free preview within 2 business days. Once you say yes, your site is live within 1-2 days.

What do I need to give you?

Your business name, town, phone or email, and what you offer. Photos, a logo and your hours help, but we can start without them.

Can I ask for changes to the preview?

Yes. Tell us what you'd like different, whether that's wording, photos, colors or what's on the page, and we make those changes before your site goes live.

I already have a website. Can you redo it?

Yes. Send us the link and we'll build a new version you can compare side by side. We can move your existing domain over when you're ready.

Price and ownership

What does the $29 a month cover?

Hosting, the SSL certificate, keeping your domain connected, and updates to your content when you send them, like new hours, prices or photos.

Is there a contract?

No. It's month to month. If you cancel, you keep your site's files, and we send them to you so you can host them anywhere. Your domain stays yours too, and we'll help you move it.

Who owns the domain?

You do. It's registered in your name, so it stays yours if you ever cancel. We'll help you move it wherever you want.

Your site

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Local businesses of every kind: restaurants and cafes, salons and barbers, auto repair, plumbers and electricians, cleaners, lawn care, gyms, groomers, shops and offices.

Will my site show up on Google?

We set up everything search engines read: page titles, descriptions, a sitemap and your business details. Nobody can honestly promise a top spot, but your site is built so search engines can understand it from day one.

Do I need to be good with computers?

No. You don't log in to anything or learn a website builder. When something changes, like your hours or prices, you send it to us and we update the site.
