  • Why We’re Building Websites Again

    I stopped taking website projects two years ago.

    The market felt saturated. Everyone has a site. Agencies charge $15K. Templates are $20/month. What’s the point?

    Then a restaurant owner I’ve worked with for years asked for help. Her site was slow, broken on mobile, and buried her menu three clicks deep. She’d paid $8,000 for it.

    That’s the problem.

    Small businesses are stuck between cheap templates that all look the same and agencies that charge enterprise prices for basic sites. There’s no middle ground.

    So we built one.

    Professional design. Fast. Mobile-first. SEO built in. You can update it yourself. Starting at $79.

    Not for everyone. But if you’ve been putting off fixing your site because it felt too expensive or complicated, this is for you.

    Your website is the first thing customers see. Make it count.
