How it works

We do the website work. You run your business.

A simple process with a clear owner at every step, and nothing reaches you without a quality check.

  1. Research

    Us

    We study your business first: your services, your area, your reviews, and what customers need to find fast.

  2. Demo rebuild

    Us

    We turn your current site into a working preview of the new one, using your real details. A first pass is often ready in under an hour.

  3. Quality review

    Us

    We check every preview on phones and desktops before you see it. Weak work never reaches you.

  4. Deposit

    You

    Like the direction? Pay 50% to start. If you reject the redesign before launch, the deposit comes back.

  5. Collaborate with us

    Together

    Send photos, tweaks, and ideas in plain language. We make the changes quickly, and you approve each round.

  6. Launch

    Together

    Pay the balance and we go live on your domain. Your old site stays up until you approve the new one.

  7. Care

    Ongoing

    Pick a care plan. Message us when hours, prices, or specials change. Hosting is included while care is active.

Speed

A first look at your new site, often in under an hour.

Agencies can take weeks just to show you a mockup. Our whole process is built for small local sites, so once we start, a first-pass design of your new homepage is often ready in under an hour. Then we polish it with you.

Read our Terms · Privacy

Will a new website get me more customers?

We can't promise that, and we won't. Nobody honest can guarantee leads, rankings, or traffic. What we do promise: a modern site that shows your services, hours, and contact clearly on a phone, plus an easy way to keep it current.

What does "from $249" mean?

No redesign costs less than $249. Bigger or more complex sites cost more, based on the job. You get a clear quote before you pay anything, and the rebuild matches roughly the size of your current site. Extra pages or features are quoted separately.

How does payment work?

A 50% deposit starts the build. The remaining balance is due before go-live. We send a personal checkout link, and payments run through Stripe. If you reject the redesign before go-live, your deposit comes back.

How fast is it?

Fast. Once we start, a first-pass design of your new homepage is often ready in under an hour. Polishing it together and launching depends on your site and how quickly you review. Any timeline we give is an estimate, not a guarantee.

What counts as a small update?

Changes to details on pages you already have: hours, specials, prices, photos, staff, and short text. New pages or major redesigns are quoted separately. Unused updates do not roll over.

Do I have to pay monthly?

To keep your site on our hosting, yes: a care plan (from $9.99/mo) or Host-only ($6.99/mo). If you would rather host it yourself, you can request an export of your site files.

Does my redesign include hosting forever?

No. The redesign fee pays for building your site. Hosting on Fixelton is included while you have an active care plan (or a Host-only plan), plus the grace period described in our Terms.

What happens if I cancel care?

Care cancels at the end of your billing period, and chat updates stop then. Your site stays live for 30 days (the grace period) with no edits. In that window you can renew care, switch to Host-only for $6.99/mo, or request a file export and host elsewhere.

What is Host-only?

Host-only keeps your site live on our hosting for $6.99/month. It does not include chat, edits, or design changes. Need changes again? Move back to a care plan.

What if I do nothing after I cancel?

After the 30-day grace period, we may take the site offline and archive it. We keep an archive for about 90 days in case you want to come back. Your domain stays yours, though you may need to update DNS.

What if a payment fails?

We treat a failed renewal the same way as a cancel: the site can stay up through the grace period without edits while you fix billing, renew, move to Host-only, or export.

Do I own my site? Can I get my files?

You own the custom work we build for your business, and your domain stays yours. During care, Host-only, or the grace period, you can request an export of your site files. No export fee.

Do I get a redesign refund if I cancel care later?

No. Canceling care does not refund the redesign fee for a completed, launched project. The deposit refund applies only if you reject the redesign before go-live.

Who is not a good fit?

Franchises and chains, big online stores, custom web apps, and anyone shopping for guaranteed leads. We're best for local and service-area businesses that need a clear, good-looking site they can keep current.

Do you work with businesses near me?

We work remotely, so where you are is rarely a problem. Tell us about your business and we'll let you know honestly if we're a fit.

Ready for a refresh?

Let's make your website feel like your business again.

Tell us about your business and your current site. We'll reply by email with next steps for your preview.

  1. We reply by email and ask anything we need.
  2. We research and build a preview of your new site.
  3. You decide. No deposit until you like what you see.

No payment here. You only pay after you see your preview and agree on a quote.
