Grand Rapids · Web infrastructure for local business

We build your site before you pay a dollar.

Most agencies pitch. We just build it. You see your real site live, then decide if you want to keep it.

How it works

You see the work before you commit to anything.

No discovery calls. No deck. No proposal. We build a real, branded version of your site and send you the link. If you like it, we ship it. If you don't, we shake hands and move on.

Step 01

We build your demo.

You tell us your business name. We pull your hours, your photos, your reviews — and turn them into a real site. No placeholder text. No "click here to learn more." A site that looks like yours.

Usually within 3 days
Step 02

You see it live.

You get a link. Open it on your phone, send it to your spouse, show your staff. Click around. It's your business — same name, same hours, real photos, real reviews. Not a wireframe.

Live URL, no login required
Step 03

You decide.

If you want it, we move it to your domain, set up email, and you're live the same week. If you don't, we delete it and that's that. Either way, you got to see what's possible.

One flat price. No surprises.

What you get

Two ways to start. One way to keep it running.

Pricing on the page. No "contact us." No tiered SaaS nonsense. Pick a build, add monthly support, and you're done.

Why us

Three reasons. That's all we need.

01

Demo first.

You see your actual site before money changes hands. Every other agency promises. We just show you.

02

Local & accountable.

Two people from Grand Rapids who answer their phones. Not an offshore team. Not a faceless subscription you can't reach.

03

Infrastructure-owned.

Domain, hosting, SSL, email — we run all of it. You never have to remember a password to a service you set up three years ago.

Questions

Fair questions. Straight answers.

01

Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?

You can — and for a brochure site you'll do fine. We win when speed, custom integrations, real local SEO, or a site that doesn't scream "template" actually matter to your business.

02

What happens after launch?

You either take a monthly retainer and we keep the lights on — DNS, SSL, hosting, content updates, uptime — or you take the keys and run it yourself. No lock-in.

03

Do I actually own my site?

Yes. Code, content, hosting credentials, domain. We don't hold anything hostage. If we ever stop being a fit, you walk away with everything.

04

How fast is "fast"?

Most builds ship in under two weeks. Small ones in under a week. We don't do six-month discovery phases for a five-page site.

05

Can you take over an existing site?

Often, yes. We'll audit it first and tell you straight whether to maintain or rebuild. No upsell games.

06

Are you actually in Grand Rapids?

Based here, yes. We meet at Madcap, Wealthy Street, or your office — whatever works.

Get started

Tell us your business name. We'll build a demo in 3 days.

No call required. We'll send you a link when it's ready. If you want to talk first, that's fine too — pick up the phone.

Here's what happens next.
  1. We confirm we got your message — usually within an hour during business hours.
  2. We build your demo over the next few days. No back-and-forth required.
  3. You get a live link. Click around. Decide.
