03Concept Lab
Sketch your homepage in a minute.
Pick a trade, a mood and the features you need. The preview changes as you go.
04Anatomy
Every detail earns its place.
A concept homepage, taken apart. Each numbered spot turns a visit into a call or a booking.
Tap to call
The call button sits where a thumb lands, at the top and again in a bar along the bottom.
The job, in one tap
Customers pick what is wrong first, so the next screen already speaks to them.
Google-ready titles
The trade and the suburb are in the main heading, the way people search for them.
Book or quote in two taps
A short form with a clear button, not a maze of pages.
Open now, and the hours
Whether you are available today is the first thing many people want to know.
Loads fast on a weak signal
Small images and no page-builder bloat, so the page opens on one bar of 4G.
05Before and after
From dated to sharp.
Same business, two first impressions. Drag the handle, or use the arrow keys.
06Process
Four steps. No surprises.
You see your homepage before you pay anything. This is everything that happens after that.
The full process-
Usually the same or next day
Chat
Tell us what you do, where you are and what people should do on your site: call, book or visit. A short message is enough. Send links to your logo, photos or old site if you have them.

Launch
You pay the balance. We connect your domain, switch on HTTPS and check every page on phones and computers. Then we hand it over: the site, the domain and the logins are yours.

11FAQ
Straight answers.
The questions everyone asks before they start.
How much does a website cost?
A One Page site is $300. A Full Website, up to about 5 pages, is $700. The care plan is optional at $30 a month, and bigger projects are quoted. The only other cost is your own domain name, about $20 a year. See pricing.
How long does it take?
Your free concept homepage is usually ready within 5 business days of our first chat. The build usually takes 1 to 2 weeks after the deposit, and launch takes 1 to 2 days once you approve the preview.
Who owns the website?
You do. Once the balance is paid, the finished site is yours. Your domain name is registered in your name, so it is always yours too.
Can I ask for changes?
Yes. Two rounds of changes are included while we build. After launch, small text and photo changes are part of the care plan. Anything bigger is quoted fairly before we start it.
What about the domain name and hosting?
You pay for your own domain name (your web address), about $20 a year, registered in your name. Hosting setup is included in the price. If anything about hosting would cost you extra, we tell you before you say yes.
