Before you buy

Exactly what $500 gets you.

No fine print. No "it depends". Here's what's in, what's out, and who this is actually built for.

What's included

Up to 3 pages
Home, About, Contact. That's the sweet spot for a service business. Clean, focused, converts.
Custom design, hand-coded
Built from scratch. Not WordPress. Not Webflow. Not Framer. Not Lovable. Not an AI generator. Real code you own outright.
Mobile-first, fully responsive
Looks perfect on every device. Phone, tablet, desktop - tested, not assumed.
PageSpeed 90+ (we're obsessed)
Fast sites rank. Fast sites convert. We don't ship slow.
SEO foundation
Title tags, meta descriptions, structured data, XML sitemap, canonical tags. The basics done right so Google can actually find you.
Contact form that actually sends
Working enquiry form. Not broken. Not going to spam. Lands in your inbox.
Google Maps embed
Your location, your hours, click-to-call. Everything a local customer needs.
Photo gallery
Show your work. Your photos, laid out properly. Not a grid of broken thumbnails.
Social media links
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn - wherever you are, we link to it.
PDF menu link (cafes/restaurants)
Update it yourself whenever you like. No developer needed, no agency call at $150/hour to change a price.
Hosting + domain connection
We set up hosting and connect your domain. SSL included. You point the DNS, we handle the rest.
30-day post-launch support
Need a tweak after launch? Direct access, fast responses. No support tickets, no call centres.
Full ownership. No lock-in.
All code, all files. Yours forever. No proprietary platform, no ongoing licence fees, no being held hostage.
Live in 7 days
From payment to live site in a week. Not 6-8 weeks. Not 'once the creative brief is approved'. 7 days.

What's not included

You're not getting Facebook.com for $500. Be realistic.

  • Online stores, carts, or checkout
    Use Shopify. Seriously, it's built for this.
  • Booking systems or reservation platforms
    Square, Acuity, Calendly - these exist and they're good. Link to them.
  • Online ordering (restaurants)
    We'll build the site and link your PDF menu. Ordering platforms are a different product entirely.
  • Membership sites or login portals
    Needs a database. That's a web app, not a website.
  • More than 3 pages
    Need more? Email us - we quote that separately.
  • Content writing
    You provide the words. We make them look great.
  • Logo design
    Got one? Great. Need one? We can point you somewhere.
  • Ongoing SEO or ad management
    We build the foundations. Ongoing hosting + SEO is available as an affordable add-on - not included in the flat rate.
  • Picking up someone else's half-finished job
    If your mate's son who 'knows computers' had a crack at it and now you need us to fix it - that's a different conversation. We build from scratch, not from wreckage.
  • Anything you already know is too complex for $500
    If you're thinking 'this probably costs more' - it does. Email us.
How this works

No meetings. No proposals. No agency process.

Pay. Fill in a short brief. We build it. You review it. It goes live. That's it.

There are no kickoff calls, no discovery workshops, no 12-page proposals, no Slack channels, no "weekly syncs", and no project managers in the middle. This is a fixed product. You're not buying a custom agency engagement - you're buying a well-built website.

No discovery calls
The brief is a short form. Fill it in. Takes 10 minutes.
No proposals or scope documents
Scope is fixed. 3 pages. Done.
One round of revisions
Not unlimited. Not "I've completely changed my mind". One round, reasonable changes.
No ongoing project management
We build, we hand it over. Ongoing support is optional and simple.
No we can't add just one more thing
Extra pages, custom functionality, booking systems - these are separate quotes. Not add-ons mid-build.
No dragging this out for months
You get a realistic timeline upfront. We hit it. We don't go silent.
Important

Hand-coded from scratch. Yours to keep.

Every site is hand-coded from scratch. Not WordPress. Not Wix. Not Squarespace. Not Webflow. Not Framer. Not Lovable. Not a $19 ThemeForest template with your logo slapped on it. Not AI-generated.

Real code. Fast, secure, and yours - no plugin subscriptions, no CMS licence fees, no page builder holding you hostage. When you want to update something, email us. Basic changes are fast and cheap. Or we can set you up to edit your own content. Either way, you're not stuck paying someone $150/hour to change your phone number.

Geographic flexibility means a few extra things to flag - most are optional, but worth mentioning so there are no surprises.

No business registration required

You don't need to be incorporated, VAT-registered, or have any specific entity type. Sole proprietors, freelancers, side hustles - all fine. We just need a contact name, email, and what you want the site to do.

Domain registration help

We'll register your .com or country-specific domain on your behalf at cost (typically $10-$15 USD/year), or transfer one you already own. Always registered in your name - never ours.

Currency and tax

Quotes are in USD. We don't collect sales tax on your behalf. If your jurisdiction requires you to self-assess use tax on imported services, that's on you (check with your accountant - usually trivial at this price point).

Regional hosting if you need it

Default is our worldwide edge hosting. If you need data hosted in a specific country for compliance (US, EU, AU, etc.), we can deploy to AWS, Hetzner, or a regional host at cost. Mention it in the brief.

Need something bigger?

This service is purpose-built for small businesses that need a solid site, fast. But if your project is more complex - a custom web app, a larger platform, something that genuinely needs more time and thought - we do that too. Just not for $500.
