Modern websites for local contractors

One-time build. You own everything.
Optional hosting if you don't want to manage it yourself.

Simple, transparent pricing

Pay once for the build. You own the code, the domain, everything. If you want me to handle hosting, that's optional.

The Core Product

Website Build

$1,500 – $2,500one-time

I build your site and hand it over. You own the domain, the source code, everything. Deploy it yourself or walk away—no strings attached.

  • Custom homepage + service pages (4-7 pages)
  • Mobile-responsive, fast-loading
  • Contact form with email delivery
  • Basic SEO setup
  • Source code ownership
  • 90-day bug fix warranty
Optional
If you don't want to manage it yourself

Hosting

$25/month

Your site stays up. I keep it running. That's it.

  • Site hosted on reliable infrastructure
  • I monitor for downtime
  • SSL and domain configured correctly

Need changes later? Text updates, new pages, redesigns—billed at $100/hr. No surprise fees. You only pay when you ask for work.

Or host it yourself for free. I'll transfer the domain and code to you (requires you to set up your own GitHub and Cloudflare accounts)

Compare that to what you might be paying now

Many contractors pay $400-500/month for vague "SEO packages" and "maintenance" without knowing what they're getting.

Potential annual savings
$3,600+

"Why does it seem like you offer fewer features than competitors?"

Because they pad their lists to make things seem more substantial than they are.

When I say "hosting", it includes everything you'd expect: SSL certificates, DNS configuration, uptime monitoring. When I say "you own the code", that includes all the little things they piecemeal out in their packages.

They make it complex to convince you to pay more than you need to—for the exact same thing I'm offering you.

Sound familiar?

You're paying hundreds per month and don't know what you're actually getting

Your website looks like it's from 2010

It doesn't work well on mobile—and most of your customers are on their phones

You feel locked in because you don't own your domain or can't get your files

Your 'web guy' disappears for weeks when you need something changed

A different approach

Modern technology means better websites for less money.

You own everything

Domain, source code, all of it. Walk away anytime with your complete site.

Modern & mobile-first

Built with the same tools used by top startups. Fast, secure, looks great on phones.

No lock-in

Cancel support anytime. Take your site elsewhere. No hostage situations.

Transparent pricing

You know exactly what you're paying for. No vague 'SEO' or mystery fees.

Who's behind this?

Matt Runchey

I'm Matt. I've spent 10 years building software at venture-backed startups in Seattle.

I started this because the technology for building websites has changed dramatically—but most agencies are still charging 2015 prices for 2015 tools. I use modern frameworks that are faster to build, cheaper to host, and produce better results.

Seattle-based. Transparent pricing. You own everything.
