We build your website, then keep it running.

Websites for chambers of commerce, member associations and local businesses, launched in weeks and kept current every month.

We design a site your members can use on a phone. After launch, you email us the events, directory changes and news, and we post them for a flat monthly fee.

We mock up your new homepage from your real content and send it over. No call needed.

Before, a recreated example: a typical dated chamber homepage, a narrow fixed-width page with a crowded sidebar. After, demo redesign: a navy homepage with a large headline, a join button, a button to find a local business and a round beach badge.

01Work

What a free homepage preview looks like.

These are demo redesigns, not client projects. Each one is modeled on a typical small-organization website. The before images are recreated examples of typical older sites, and every name, address and phone number, before and after, is made up.

Demo

Landlord and property manager association

The old homepage was a column of blue links. The redesign puts the next meeting and the membership button at the top, where a landlord checking a phone between properties will see them.

Before, a recreated example: a plain white association homepage with a column of blue text links and a red welcome line. After, demo redesign: an association homepage with a headline, a membership button and the next meeting listed near the top.

Rural parish chamber

One sentence says what the chamber does. The address, phone number and join button stay in reach on every page.

Before, a recreated example: a dated chamber homepage with a dark header and one large photo. After, demo redesign: a green and cream homepage with a one-line mission, two buttons and a countryside illustration in an arched frame.

Small-town chamber, beach community

A crowded sidebar becomes six plain menu items. Join and Find a business are the first two things a thumb reaches.

04Questions

What people ask before they hire us.

Do I own my site?

Yes. The domain, the content and the design are yours. If you ever leave, we hand everything over, including the files.

We already use ClubExpress, Wild Apricot or WordPress. Can you work with that?

Yes. Many associations run dues and member records on ClubExpress or Wild Apricot. We can redesign inside those platforms, connect a new site to them, or work on your existing WordPress site.

How fast can you launch?

The free homepage preview takes about a week. Once you approve it, most builds launch in 2 to 3 weeks. The biggest variable is how quickly we get your content.

What does a care plan cover?

Hosting, HTTPS and uptime monitoring. Every change is versioned, and the site is backed up off-site every night. We watch for security problems, and you get a set amount of edit time each month. Higher plans add event posting, directory upkeep and a monthly newsletter.

What if we already have hosting?

We can build on your current host, or move you to ours for $25 a month. We will tell you which makes more sense for your setup.

Can we cancel?

Yes, any time after the first 3 months. There is no cancellation fee.

Do you do one-off fixes?

Yes. The as-needed menu covers updates, new pages, forms and fixes at flat prices. Anything not on the menu is $85 an hour, quoted before we start.

Is the preview really free?

Yes. We mock up your homepage and send it over. If you do not hire us, keep the idea. We will not keep emailing you.
