How the program works
You apply, we review your application personally within two business days, and we schedule a short onboarding conversation. From there we design, write, and launch your website, usually in about ten days. Every month after launch, we maintain the site, keep your Google Business Profile current, and produce fresh creative for promotions and seasonal updates. It is all covered by the $249 per month price, with no setup fee and no long contract.
What happens after you apply
After you submit the application, a real person reviews it and replies within two business days with a recommendation specific to your business. If it is a fit, we book a brief onboarding call to gather your details, photos, and goals, then we get to work. Your site launches in about ten days, and you keep ownership of your domain and content the whole time. You can read more about the details on the program page or the pricing page.
