Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call — we're happy to help.

Is the website really free? What's the catch?

Really free, with a defined scope: up to six service pages, our proven design in your brand colors, one revision round. We're building our founding-client portfolio and referral network — the optional monthly care plan and your future word-of-mouth are how this pays off for us. You own the site outright either way.

How long does it take?

First draft within 2–3 business days of receiving your questionnaire; most sites are live within a week. Compare that to the industry-standard 6–12 weeks and you'll understand why we lead with it.

Do I own my website?

Completely. Your domain, your content, your code. If you ever want to leave, we hand over everything in a form any developer can work with. No hostage hosting, no proprietary builder lock-in.

Why not just use Wix or a $500 freelancer?

You can — and for some businesses that's fine. The difference shows up in Google: our sites ship with the technical SEO layer (structured data, performance, local markup) that template builders skip and budget builds botch. Ours also happens to be free for founding clients, which changes the math.

What's the monthly care plan and do I need it?

Hosting, monitoring, and same-business-day content updates for a flat monthly fee, month-to-month, cancel anytime. It's optional — you own the site either way — and it's the paid part of our model, so we work hard to make it obviously worth it.

What do you need from me to start?

A 20-minute questionnaire about your business, services, and service area — doable from your phone. Logo and photos help but aren't blockers; we can launch with professional placeholders and swap in your photos later.

Do you work with businesses outside Colorado?

Yes — the entire process is remote-friendly. Questionnaire, draft review, and launch all happen online, so we serve trades anywhere in the US.

What happens after my site goes live?

You'll get a walkthrough of your new site, access to everything, and a monthly report if you're on the care plan showing traffic, calls, and form submissions. When your business grows — new services, new areas — the site grows with it at small flat add-on prices.

The Catch? There Isn't One.

We're establishing our portfolio and reputation, so a limited number of founding clients get a complete professional website free. You own it outright. If you love the work, we'd like to earn your hosting, updates, and referrals — that part is entirely up to you.
