Websites for Northwoods small businesses

No website, or one nobody has touched in years? I can fix that. I'll get you showing up on Google, keep it running, and show you how to handle the parts you want to handle yourself. Every price is on this page.

What I do, and what it costs

Pick one or stack them. Not sure you need any of it? Ask anyway. Sometimes the honest answer is that what you have is fine.

A website for your business

$850 flat. Five pages, built for your kind of business.

  • Built from one of four templates made for local businesses: trades, restaurants, lodging and guides, shops and offices. See the demos
  • You answer one intake form. I build it, launch it, and walk you through it
  • Hosting is included. The domain is registered in your name, on your own card. A .com runs about $11 to $12 a year at the registrar I'll set you up with
  • Works on phones and is set up for Google from day one. Showing up in search builds over the first few weeks

The first three local businesses pay $650.

What you get with a website

Google visibility

$400. Show up when people around here search.

  • Your Google Business Profile filled out properly: photos, hours, services
  • Set up to show on Google Maps, with your details matching on the other directories that list you
  • A simple way to ask happy customers for reviews, inside Google's rules
  • Works for any business, with or without a website

With a website it's $1,100 for both, or $1,050 with a first-three website.

What the Google setup covers

Site care

$35/month or $350/year. I keep the site running so you don't have to think about it.

  • Hosting, backups, and renewals handled
  • Monthly content edits: hours, menus, seasonal rates, new photos
  • Something breaks, I fix it
  • Cancel anytime. The site is yours either way

Google listing care is also $35/month: posts, review replies, photos, hours. Both together are $60/month.

What site care covers

Training

$150 a session. I'll show you how to do it yourself.

  • A 90-minute session on your own work, in person or over a screen share
  • You drive the second half, because that's the part that sticks
  • A one-page reference sheet of what we covered, yours to keep

Three sessions for $375. Group workshops are $75 a seat.

How training works

Your Facebook page

$250/month. Your page stays active without you thinking about it.

  • Twelve posts a month, written, designed, and scheduled
  • Made from your own photos of your business. Never stock photos
  • A training session every quarter, so you can take it over whenever you want
  • The page stays yours. I only ever have editor access

$200 one-time setup. A second platform makes it $350/month. Cancel anytime.

What the Facebook plan covers

How working with me goes

It's in your name

Your domain, Google listing, and social accounts belong to you from day one. The site's code and hosting move to your own accounts whenever you ask.

The price is the price

What's on this page is what it costs. Anything outside a plan gets quoted before I start.

You'll know how it works

I'll show you what I did and why, so you can run it without me if you want to.

I'm local

I live in Ashland, and I'll come to you anywhere in the Northwoods.

What does hosting cost after the first year? Nothing. Sites run on Cloudflare's free tier. While you're on site care, the site runs under my account and I look after it. Without site care, or whenever you ask, I move it to your own free Cloudflare account. Either way, your only ongoing cost is the domain. A .com is about $11 to $12 a year at the registrar I'll set you up with, and most of the big-name registrars renew it at $19 to $25.

Want to check my work first? Open the demo sites I built for made-up local businesses, or try the free tools I've built. They're all live.

Got something you want done?

Tell me what you're working on. I'll tell you whether I'm the right fit and what it costs. I reply within a business day.
