Simple, Honest Pricing

There are two things you can buy from us: a website and a system. Buy either one on its own, or both.

Both are a one-time build with a deposit you can see up front. Keeping either one running is an optional monthly plan — one plan per thing you own, never a fee per seat.

What You Can Buy

Neither one requires the other. Most clients start with one and add the other later.

Track one

A Website

Your storefront.

How people find you, size you up, and get in touch. It works on the phone they are already holding.

Buy it when
People cannot find you, or what they find does not make them call.
One-time build
Starter $500 · Growth $2,500 · Full Suite quoted
Keeping it running
Care from $149/mo — optional

You own the code on final payment.

Track two

A System

Your back office.

One custom application that solves one named problem in how your business runs — a booking flow, a client record, a follow-up engine. Not a website. Not a platform full of modules you will never open.

Buy it when
The enquiries arrive but the work runs on a notebook, a group chat, and your memory.
One-time build
One Workflow from $1,500 · Full System from $3,500
Keeping it running
Run from $299/mo — required, it is how we keep it alive

Licensed while on a plan. Buyout available: build fee + 12× your monthly.

Full Suite is both tracks together. It is a Growth-class website and one or more Systems, with brand, ads, email and social on an ongoing retainer. If you only want the software, buy a System on its own below — you do not need the suite to get one.

Track Two — Systems

One custom application that solves one named problem in how your business runs — a booking flow, a client record, a follow-up engine. Not a website. Not a platform full of modules you will never open.

Two sizes, depending on how much of the problem you want solved at once. See how a System gets built →

Best place to start
One Workflow

One leak, closed. The smallest thing worth building.

from $1,500

$750 deposit to start · balance at delivery

  • A call about where your week actually jams
  • One workflow, end to end
  • Your brand and your words for things
  • Email reminders set up with you
  • Delivered in ~2 weeks

How you know it works. Before anything goes live we build a test bank with you — 20 to 30 real records out of your own business, each with the answer it should produce. Every change we make afterwards gets graded against it, so "we improved something" is a thing you can check rather than a thing you have to take on faith. That comes with a Full System build; a One Workflow is small enough to check by hand.
Why there is a smaller one. One Workflow exists so a small business can start at $1,500 instead of $3,500. It is a genuinely smaller scope — one workflow rather than a whole operation — not a cut-down version of the same build. Start there and grow into the rest; what you have already paid counts toward it.

Not Sure Which You Need?

People increasingly ask an assistant instead of a search engine, and get back a short list with no link to click. This is a one-time check of whether you are on that list, and what is keeping you off it.

It is not a website and not a System — it is the thing that tells you which one you need.

AEO Visibility Audit

Where you show up when someone asks an AI instead of a search engine.

One-time · no plan attached · scoped on the call

  • Ten buyer questions, agreed with you
  • What the assistants answer today, captured
  • Your structured data and entity trail, audited
  • The sources they cite instead of you

  • Delivered in ~1 week

What you get, and what you do not. Capped at 6 hours. Anything beyond is quoted first. You get findings and a costed fix list you are free to hand to anyone — there is no obligation to have us do the work. What we will not tell you is that we have already done this for businesses like yours: this is a new line, and nobody has bought it yet. Nobody can promise placement in an AI answer, and anyone who does is guessing.

Two Things We Do Once

Not a website, not a System, not a subscription. Each is a fixed price for a fixed piece of work, and what we hand over is yours to keep, edit and reuse without us.

  • A field checklist your crew ticks off on site
  • A handbook page hosted on your site
  • A self-scoring quiz, so you know they read it
  • Yours to keep and edit · delivered in ~1 week

Bid Readiness

Government work you already qualify for, and the paperwork that keeps you out of it.

$2,000

One-time · no plan attached · US federal and state

  • Your registrations cleaned up on the portals that apply to you
  • The codes you should actually be listed under
  • A one-page capability statement, designed
  • Three past-performance write-ups
  • A capability page hosted on your site
  • Documentation only — we do not advise on eligibility, certify, or file on your behalf

What we will not claim. Both of these are new lines and nobody has bought either one yet, so there is no track record to point at and we will not invent one. Written procedures get a new hire to most of the way, not all of it — anyone promising otherwise has not trained anyone. And Bid Readiness is documentation work on US federal and state portals: we get your paperwork in order, but we do not tell you whether you qualify for a programme, we do not certify you, and we do not file anything in your name. Those signatures are yours, and the liability that comes with them stays with the person who signs.

Keep It Running

One monthly plan per thing you own. Each ladder includes everything in the tier before it.

If you have both: Already have a site we built? On Grow or Own, care for it is included. On Run, add any Care plan at half price.

For a website — Care

Optional. Your site works whether or not you take one.

Care

Your site stays up, safe, and current.

Cancelling, and who owns what: Every monthly plan cancels with 30 days' notice, and any of them can be prepaid annually for two months free. The difference worth knowing: a website is yours to keep — you own the code on final payment. A System is licensed while you are on a plan, so cancelling stops the software. You can buy it outright at any time for the build fee plus 12× your monthly, and your data is exported to you on request either way.

Everything Else, Priced

The things that usually turn up as a surprise on someone else’s invoice.

Out-of-scope work $150/hr Quoted and approved before we start.
Standalone hosting $29/mo For clients not on a Care plan.
Domain registration at cost + $15/yr Renewed on your instruction.
Pay annually 2 months free Any monthly plan, prepaid for the year.

Prepaid annually, that is $1,490/yr for Care and $2,990/yr for Run. Paid-ad budgets are passed through at cost; management is charged on top and disclosed before anything runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

They fix different problems, and one is not an upgrade of the other.

A website is how people find you and decide to get in touch. If the phone isn't ringing, or people land on your page and leave, that is the website's job.

A system is what happens after they call. One custom application that solves one named problem in how your business runs — a booking flow, a client record, a follow-up engine. Not a website. Not a platform full of modules you will never open. If enquiries arrive fine but the work runs on a notebook and your memory, that is a system.

You can buy either on its own. Most clients get a website first because it is cheaper and faster, then add a system once the volume starts costing them. If you want both at once, that is Full Suite.
Starter ($500) is a single, custom-coded landing page — brand-aligned, mobile-first, with a working contact form. Good for a service business, a launch announcement, or a campaign-specific page. Ships in about a week.

Growth ($2,500) is a full 5–7 page website with booking, Google Business Profile setup, foundational SEO, and a brand system (logo + typography + colors). 30 days of post-launch support included.

Full Suite is both tracks together: a Growth-class site, one or more Systems built and operated, and a full brand book. Scoped on a call.
Parts of it, and only the parts that repeat: scheduling, monitoring, reporting, the reminder that goes out on day three, the report that assembles itself on the first of the month. That frees up the hours you're paying for, which go into what's actually being said.

Anything carrying your name gets read by a person before it goes out. Nothing publishes on its own, nothing answers your customers as you, and any system we build for you gets graded against a set of your own real records before it ships. If you'd rather we didn't use drafting tools on your account at all, say so on the call — it changes the timeline, not the answer.
One Workflow, from $1,500 — Scoped to a single workflow. Capped at 8 hours of build; anything beyond is quoted first. $750 to start.

Full System, from $3,500 — Scoped to one problem. Capped at 20 hours of build; anything beyond is quoted first. $1,500 to start.

Then one operating plan from $299/mo. Prepaid annually that is $2,990 for the year, so the smallest realistic first year is $4,490 all in. We tell you the number before any work starts.
Starter: $250 to lock your slot, balance on delivery.
Growth: $1,000 to start, balance at launch.
One Workflow: $750. Full System: $1,500. Balance at delivery either way.
Full Suite: Set at scoping, before discovery starts.

Deposits are refundable for 7 days if we haven't started work, then go non-refundable as your project enters production.
Yes, in both directions. Starter and Growth deposits credit forward if you move up a tier within 90 days of delivery, and what you paid for One Workflow counts toward a Full System if you decide to solve more of the problem.

Adding the other track later costs the same as buying it today — there is no penalty for starting small, and no discount for committing to something you are not sure about yet.
There is one plan per thing you own, and the two ladders do different jobs.

Care keeps a website we built running — Care ($149/mo), Care+ ($199/mo), and Care Pro ($500/mo). It is optional.

Run, Grow and Own operate a System — Run ($299/mo), Grow ($799/mo), and Own ($1,499/mo). This one is not optional: hosting, monitoring and ongoing changes are what keep a bespoke tool alive.

If you own both: Already have a site we built? On Grow or Own, care for it is included. On Run, add any Care plan at half price.

Any plan can be prepaid annually for two months free.
Every monthly plan cancels with 30 days' notice, and any of them can be prepaid annually for two months free. The difference worth knowing: a website is yours to keep — you own the code on final payment. A System is licensed while you are on a plan, so cancelling stops the software. You can buy it outright at any time for the build fee plus 12× your monthly, and your data is exported to you on request either way.

In numbers, on the Full System build: buying out a system on Run is $7,088, Grow is $13,088, or Own is $21,488. After a buyout the software is yours outright and the monthly stops.

A website is different and simpler: You own the code on final payment. Cancelling Care does not affect that — you can move the site anywhere, and we will hand over what you need to do it.
No. The build price is the price, and everything else we charge for is listed above under Keep It Running and Everything Else, Priced — out-of-scope work at $150/hr (quoted and approved first), standalone hosting at $29/mo if you are not on a Care plan, and domains at cost + $15/yr.

You can host elsewhere with no penalty. Paid-ad budgets are passed through at cost.
Starter: ~7 days from deposit to delivery
Growth: 3–4 weeks from deposit to launch
One Workflow: about 2 weeks
Full System: 3–5 weeks
Full Suite: scoped on the discovery call; typical engagements run 8–16 weeks for the build, then ongoing retainer.

Timelines depend on how fast you provide content and approvals. We send a written timeline before any work begins.
