Who you're talking to
Cyrus, founder
I build custom websites for local shops and trades, then handle hosting and maintenance every month. No templates. No disappearing acts. One partner for your web presence.
Why we're doing this
Three spots. On purpose.
We don't have a wall of client logos yet — and we won't fake one. This founding program is how we partner with three local businesses and earn the portfolio to prove it.
- Exclusive — not a public discount
- Fair trade: waived setup for testimonial + case study
- Built for shops that run on phone calls
We work with: Automotive shops · Detailers · HVAC · Electricians · Contractors · Roofers · Plumbing · Local trades

The honest reason
We trade the setup fee for proof

You get
- Custom website — $0 setup
- Hosting & maintenance — $199/mo
- A partner who handles the tech
- More calls, less hassle
We get
- A real portfolio piece
- A written testimonial
- Permission for a case study
- A long-term partnership
That's the deal. No hidden catches — we'll walk through everything on your call.
How it works
Four steps. No surprises.
02
Plan & design
We map your pages, messaging, and design before a single line of code.
03
Build & launch
Custom site goes live on your domain in 2–4 weeks.
04
We run it
Hosting, updates, and maintenance every month — you stay focused on the shop.
Why custom
Your business deserves better than a template
Page builders work for hobby projects. Local businesses that run on phone calls need something faster, sharper, and built for them.
Performance
Clean code loads fast. Speed affects Google rankings and whether customers stay.
SEO foundation
Built with structure search engines understand — not an afterthought.
Unique branding
Your business looks like your business — not a template with your logo pasted on.
Full control
No platform lock-in. Your site is yours, built to scale as you grow.
FAQ
Straight answers
We're accepting three founding clients to build our portfolio with real local businesses. In exchange for waiving the setup fee, we ask for a testimonial, permission to feature your business as a case study, and a 12-month partnership.
Founding clients get white-glove attention. We can only deliver that level of service to three businesses at launch while maintaining quality standards.
The founding program requires a 12-month commitment at $199/month. After that, it continues month-to-month. We're looking for long-term partners, not one-off projects.
Typically 2–4 weeks from kickoff, depending on how quickly you provide photos, content, and feedback.
Hosting, SSL, security updates, uptime monitoring, maintenance, minor content changes, and technical support. We keep your site running so you don't have to think about it.
Major redesigns, unlimited revision rounds, e-commerce, custom apps, and paid ad management are outside the founding scope. We'll be upfront about anything extra on your call.
You do. Your domain, your content, your business. We build and manage it as your partner.
Yes. After launch we can add pages, SEO campaigns, automation, and other growth services as your business scales.
