Engineered for growth.

Every plan starts from one question: what helps this business grow? We build the site, connect the tools that bring customers in and follow up with them, and show you every week what we did. Plain prices, no promises we can't keep.

Questions small businesses ask.

How much does a small business website cost?+
Our growth plans are $3.50 a month (Launch), $19.99 a month (Growth) or $49.99 a month (Growth Engineering), with no setup fee and nothing to pay up front. Every plan is a custom site built around your business, with hosting and changes by text. Booking, a lead CRM, social posting and an online store are add-ons, priced plainly on our plans page. If you only need a simple page, Shipyard is our self-serve template plan.
What is Shipyard?+
Shipyard is our template plan for businesses that just need a simple page online fast: pick a ready-made design and it goes live with hosting and a real domain. When you want a site built around your brand and the growth work around it, that's a growth plan.
Do I own my website?+
Yes. On every growth plan the site is yours to keep. We design, build, host, and maintain it, but you own the work and the domain. If you ever move on, you take it with you. No lock-in and no hostage files.
What does growth engineering mean?+
It's how we work. A site alone rarely grows a business, so we build the pieces around it: Google and Maps setup, review requests, booking, a lead board, social posts and a store when you sell things. Every Monday you get one page on what we did, what is next, and your best next move. We don't promise rankings or revenue; we show you the work and what moved.
Can you set up payments and email?+
Yes. We wire Stripe checkout, business email, domains, and DNS end to end, the same stack behind our client stores and booking sites. You get a working business online, not just a page that looks nice.
