How much does a custom website cost?

It depends on the pages and features you need, so we quote each project after a short scoping call. The quote is fixed before any code is written, and the only ongoing cost is one flat annual fee for hosting, security, maintenance and email. There is no retainer and no hourly meter.

How long does a build take?

Most business websites launch in four to eight weeks from the scoping call. Web apps and online stores vary with their complexity; the quote includes a timeline. You see working pages as they come together, not just at the end.

Why hand-code instead of WordPress, Squarespace or Wix?

A hand-coded site loads faster, has far fewer things that can break or be hacked, and does exactly what your business needs with nothing bolted on. There are no plugin updates, no theme licences and no builder subscription. You get clean code you own outright.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The code, the content and the domain are yours. If you ever want to move it to another host or developer, we hand everything over. No contract locks you in.

What does the annual fee cover?

Managed hosting on servers we run, SSL, firewalls and security monitoring, backups, routine maintenance, and professional email on your own domain. It is one flat amount per year, quoted with the build.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes, where it makes sense. Stores come with a catalog the owners run themselves, and we build simple editing into any site that will change often. For occasional text or image changes, you can also just email us; small edits are part of maintenance.

Do you only work with businesses in Arizona?

No. We are based in the Phoenix area and work with clients anywhere; recent projects are in Florida and Tennessee as well as Arizona. Everything happens over calls, email and shared working pages.

Will the site show up on Google?

Every build ships with technical SEO done: fast pages, clean semantic markup, correct titles and metadata, structured data and a sitemap. Ranking also depends on your content and competition, so if you want ongoing search or marketing help we offer it as an option, never a forced bundle.

Services

Three things we build, and six things that come with every build. One build fee, one low annual fee, no line items.

What we build

Every project is one of these, or a mix. Each is written by hand, scoped and quoted before any code, and hosted on servers we manage.

Websites

Every site we ship is written by hand. No page builders, no WordPress, no plugin roulette. That means faster loads, fewer attack surfaces, and a site that does exactly what your business needs and nothing it doesn’t. You get clean code you own outright.

Recent: Legacy Paws Aftercare, Desert Palm Marketing, Wrecked Charters

Web apps

Dashboards, portals, customer tools, and the internal systems you’re currently running out of spreadsheets. We build web apps that automate the repetitive work, from report ingestion to calculations and tracking, behind hardened logins with role-based access.

Recent: Agent Dashboard, Admin Dashboard

Online stores

Custom storefronts with cart and checkout built on Square. No monthly platform fees, no app subscriptions, no platform taking a cut of every sale beyond card processing. Your catalog, your customers, your store, owned outright.

Recent: Lobster King, Spearlust, Chattanooga Souvenirs

Included with every build

Covered by the annual fee. None of it is sold back to you later as an upsell.

Hosting

Managed hosting on hardened infrastructure we run ourselves. Updates, monitoring, backups: handled. You will simply never think about servers.

Security

SSL, firewalls, intrusion prevention, and monitoring are part of the package, not an upsell. Security is table stakes for everything we host.

Professional email

Email on your own domain, configured properly with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC so your messages land in inboxes instead of spam folders. Set up once, included in your annual fee.

Search and marketing

Technical SEO is part of every build from day one: clean markup, fast pages, correct metadata, sitemaps. When you want ongoing marketing support beyond that, we offer it as an option, never a forced bundle.

Design and branding

Logos, brand assets, and marketing collateral designed alongside your site, so everything matches everywhere it appears: print, social, and screen.

Automations and integrations

We connect your site to the tools your business runs on: automatic report ingestion, data syncing between systems, payment and email integrations. If someone on your team does it by hand every week, it’s a candidate for automation.
