  • Domain on your account
    We help you buy or transfer. The name stays in your name.
  • Real code, in a real repo

    Submissions land in your inbox. Spam filtered. No third-party data resellers.
  • No analytics resold
    We can wire up Plausible or your own GA if you want. We never resell data.
  • The keys, at the end
    Domain login, repo access, deploy access. You can walk away with the whole thing.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered straight.

What's the build fee actually pay for?+

Custom design, custom code, your copy laid out, your photos placed, the site deployed to your own domain, SSL set up, Google ready. One flat price covers the whole build — design, development, and launch.

Why so much cheaper than an agency?+

We're two people, we know our stack cold, and we don't have account managers, sales reps, or office rent to cover. The site you'd pay an agency $15k for, we build in two weeks for the price of a nice dinner.

Do I really own everything?+

Yes. Your domain is in your name. The code lives in a repo you own. The hosting bill (if you skip Cover) is in your name. You can fire us tomorrow and your site doesn't blink.

What does Cover Plus actually include?+

Cover Plus is for custom builds with backend features — APIs, databases, integrations. We handle the server side, fix bugs within 24 hours, and give you an hour a month for changes. Most simple sites don't need it. The SaaS-style builds do.

Is there a contract?+

No. Build fees are paid up front (50% to start, 50% on launch). Cover and Cover Plus are month-to-month. Cancel by email.

What if I want to add a blog later?+

Upgrade from Essential to Dynamic any time for the $300 difference. We add the blog section to your existing site. Takes a day or two.
