Getting started
Is the preview site really free?
Yes. We build a working preview of your new homepage at no cost and with no obligation. If it's not right for you, you owe nothing.
Why would you build something for free?
Because it's the fastest way to show you what we can do. It's easier to decide when you can see your own business on a real, working page instead of imagining it from a proposal.
What do you need from me to start?
For the preview: your business name and a link to your current website, Google listing or social page. For launch, we send a short checklist (logo, photos, services, service area, hours and domain access).
How long does it take?
Previews are usually ready within a few business days. Most small-business sites can go live within about two weeks of your approval, depending on how quickly content and feedback come in. Business texting needs US carrier registration, which can add some days.
Do you only work with businesses in a certain area?
No. We work online with small businesses across the United States.
Pricing & billing
What does "starting at" mean?
Those are the prices where our packages begin. A larger site, extra pages, add-ons or custom automations can cost more. You'll get a clear written quote before you pay anything.
What's included in the monthly fee?
On Website + Care: hosting, SSL security, backups, monitoring, software updates and small content changes. On Smart Business, also the AI chat assistant, missed-call text-back, review requests, appointment reminders and a monthly report.
Are there other costs I should know about?
Your domain is registered in your name and is usually a small yearly fee. Software you already use (for example a booking or practice-management system) stays on your account. Anything else will be in your written quote.
Can I start with a website and add automation later?
Absolutely. Many businesses start with Website + Care and add Smart Business features once the site is live.
Websites
Who owns the website and domain?
Your domain is registered in your name, and your content (text, photos, logo) belongs to you.
I already have a website. Can you work with it?
Yes. We can redesign it, rebuild it, or move it from platforms like Wix, Squarespace or WordPress. The free preview shows what an upgrade could look like.
Will my site show up on Google?
We set up the technical basics for local search (fast pages, titles and descriptions, business details markup, sitemap and Google Search Console) and can help with your Google Business Profile. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings, and we won't.
Can I make changes myself?
You don't have to. Just send us what you want changed and we'll handle it as part of your monthly care. If you prefer to edit some content yourself, tell us and we'll discuss options.
AI & automation
Will the AI assistant say things I don't want it to?
We set it up with information you approve (services, hours, area, policies), give it clear limits, and have it hand off to you for anything outside them. You review it before launch, and we refine it over time.
Does the AI pretend to be a person?
No. It's clearly presented as a virtual assistant, and customers can always ask to reach a person.
How does missed-call text-back work?
When a call to your business goes unanswered, the caller automatically receives a friendly text from your business number, so they can tell you what they need instead of calling the next business on the list. You choose the wording.
Do I need to change my phone number?
Usually not. In most cases unanswered calls are forwarded from your existing number to a business line that handles the text-back. We'll walk you through the options for your phone provider.
Will review requests annoy my customers?
We send one polite request after a visit or job, at a time you choose, with an easy way to opt out. You decide who gets them and when.
Can you connect to the software I already use?
Often, yes: calendars, spreadsheets, email, CRMs and many booking and invoicing apps. Tell us what you use and we'll confirm what's possible before you commit.
Privacy, support & terms
I run a clinic. What about patient privacy?
We keep medical information out of website forms, chat and texts. Patient intake, health history and appointment details stay in your existing HIPAA-ready practice software; our tools link to it. This isn't legal advice, and we recommend confirming your setup with your compliance advisor.
What if I want to stop?
Your terms are written down before you start, including how cancellation works. Your domain stays yours either way, and we'll help with a clean handover.
How do I reach you for support?
By email or message. You work with a real person who knows your setup, not a ticket queue.
See your new website before you spend a dollar.
