Straight answers
What a small business site needs,
and what it does not.
How many pages does a small local business actually need?
As many as your Google Business Profile lists, and no more. Your primary category is the homepage. Each service on the profile gets a page, because that is what a search lands on. If you serve one neighborhood, you need one area page. A taqueria with one location and six menu items does not need a thirty page site. It needs a homepage that matches its profile, a menu, hours that are right, and a map.
Lefty’s Draft House needed a handful of pages and a site that loads fast on a Friday night. That is what they got. If your profile is thin, the site will be too, and we will tell you that first. A short profile with the right services beats a long one with guesses.
What makes a small business website affordable without being cheap?
Scope, not shortcuts. A cheap site cuts the things that make it work: the schema, the speed, the page per service. An affordable one cuts the pages you do not need. We build with the same code, the same schema and the same phone first layout as a larger build. The bill is smaller because the site is smaller, not because it is worse.
Free builders put their name on your domain, load slowly on phones, and do not let you add the structured data Google and AI engines read. The site is there, and nobody arrives. Martinez Tire & Auto had a site that existed. The rebuilt one at mtztire.com is the one customers find.
Who keeps the site current after launch?
We do, if you want us to. A website goes stale quietly: hours change, a form stops sending, a page falls out of step with your Google Business Profile. Automated checks run every day and tell us when something is off, from a form that stopped sending to a sitemap Google cannot read, and every incident that slips through adds a new check. Because our sites have no plugins or theme to update, maintenance is about your business changing, not about patching software.
You send the change by email or text, no login needed. Most text and photo changes go live the same day. A new service page takes a few days, because it is written and set up with schema like every other page. Wrong hours before a long weekend jump the line. Hosting is $25 a month, or $180 a year paid ahead ($15 a month). Edits are free for 30 days after launch. After that, content changes are $35 an hour and development is $75 an hour, logged in 15 minute steps and charged monthly to the card on file. We tell you the time and cost before we start. No long contract: it runs month to month and the site stays yours either way.
What does it cost?
Websites run $499 to $1,499 for 1 to 5 pages and $1,499 to $4,999 for 6 to 10 pages, based on complexity. GBP Alignment is included with every site. We do not build e-commerce stores. Most small business sites land in the first range, because the profile only calls for a handful of pages.
Once your site is complete and paid in full, the code is yours. Just ask, and we'll hand it over. Need online booking or an AI assistant on your site? We scope add-ons like these in your free consultation. Some run on accounts you own, with their own fees.

Yes. Those are not extras, they are how the site gets found. A small site has fewer pages, but every page it has carries the same structure as our largest builds.
Yes. When you add a service to your Google Business Profile, we add its page. The site is built to grow with the profile, so a two location business can start with one and add the second without starting over.
Yes, for $25 a month or $180 a year paid ahead, with daily checks included. Once your site is complete and paid in full, the code is yours. Just ask, and we'll hand it over.
The daily check tells us, usually before anyone else notices. Our sites are served from a global network, so downtime is rare, and when a provider has a problem we tell you what is happening and when it is fixed.
