Designed for “digital billboard” sites
We’re focused on brochure-style “digital billboards” that make it easy for prospects to learn, trust, and contact you without wading through app-level complexity.
In scope
- 1–10 brochure pages: services, hours, team, testimonials
- Photo galleries, menus, downloadable PDFs
- Contact, consultation, or booking forms
- Maps, social links, FAQ content
Out of scope
- Customer logins, dashboards, or portals
- Shopping carts or memberships
- Complex web applications (quoted separately)
Need an application or portal? We can quote it separately through our custom build service.
Small-business sites shouldn’t behave like enterprise software anymore.
Most owner-operators just need a billboard: clear information, working forms, and fast performance. Paying platform rent for that makes no sense in 2025.
Two ways to run a marketing site
Traditional platform subscription
- $75–$120 every month
- + Lives on someone else's server with logins and updates
≈ $1,000/year forever
Modern static build
- $500 one time (deductible)
- + Deployed to a CDN you control
Your code, your hosting, no subscriptions
Static generation on a CDN loads fast, resists hacks, and costs pennies. Agencies rarely mention it because subscriptions fund their margins.

Why no monthly fees? Static builds deploy to CDNs that only run when someone visits, so brochure-level traffic typically fits within free hosting tiers.
The Industry's Open Secret
Modern static tooling made brochure sites faster and cheaper to run. Most agencies still sell the old model because subscriptions pad their margins.
The Old Way
- Always-on shared server
You pay whether or not anyone is visiting.
- Monthly patching & plugin upkeep
Security updates pile up if you miss a week.
- Every page rendered on demand
Slower loads, especially on mobile data.
- $75–$120/month forever
Software + hosting + “care plan” fees.
Billboard-first approach
- CDN edge delivery
Pages are pre-built and cached worldwide.
- Only runs on demand
No server idling, dramatically lower overhead.
- Pre-built static files
Nothing to execute when a visitor arrives.
- $0/month hosting (on free tiers)
Upgrade only if traffic truly demands it.
Why this model stays affordable
- Pages are generated at build time, so the server workload is near-zero.
- CDNs cache assets worldwide, so visitors see near-instant responses.
- Free tiers from Netlify, Vercel, and Cloudflare are enough for most service businesses.
- When you do outgrow free hosting, usage-based plans mirror actual demand.
Why this matters
When hosting and maintenance aren't padded into a monthly retainer, you can invest once, own the code, and move on. That's the entire premise of a billboard-first site.
We still help you connect the domain and document updates—but there's no recurring bill attached to the basics.
Subscription platforms vs. owning your billboard
Website builders are great for complex stores or membership sites. For brochure-style “digital billboards,” recurring fees stack up quickly compared to a single modernization.

Straight Answers to Real Questions
Yes. $500 total, taxes and fees included. We send one Stripe invoice after you approve the preview. No retainers, no surprise add-ons.
Most clients treat the project as a deductible digital asset because you own the code. Confirm specifics with your tax professional—we'll provide documentation showing exactly what you purchased.
We use an internal AI workflow to audit your current site, extract content, and suggest layout directions. Every build still goes through human design and QA before you see the preview.
No problem. The Wayback Machine has archived most sites for the past 15-20 years. Send us your old domain and we'll recover it.
Yes! We build MERN stack apps, invoice systems, and custom solutions. Contact us for pricing—it's separate from the $500 site service.
$50 per 30 minutes of work, or we provide guides so you can DIY. Most clients update once every 2-3 years.
Static sites on a CDN only use compute when someone visits, so hosting costs are negligible. We set everything up on infrastructure you control, and you keep whatever plan you eventually choose (free tiers are usually enough).
Basic modernization included free. Want a completely custom logo? $200 extra (and honestly, we'd rather not—but we'll do it for our clients).
If you want. Our AI writes SEO-optimized content, or you can provide your own. Want a specific tone? Just tell us.
Absolutely. We build with Next.js—modern, standard code that any agency or AI can understand and modify. No obscure frameworks or proprietary nonsense. If your agency can't work with Next.js in 2025, you need a new agency (and no, we don't want to be it).
Lower cost aligns with lower waste: static sites draw orders of magnitude less energy than an always-on server. Sustainability isn't the headline, but it's a nice side effect.
