Websites for established local service businesses
Your expertise is real. Your website isn’t, yet.
Every referral checks it before they call.
We build five-page sites that show the work. Launch is live in seven days for $1,200 plus $100 a month. Static is custom and yours outright for $2,750, with your go-live date in writing on day one.
Start where you are. Move up when you’re ready.
Both builds are five pages (home, services, proof, about and contact) on your own domain, and we host and look after both. Launch uses proven layouts and is live in a week. Static is designed around your business and belongs to you.

It’s a template on purpose. That’s how it’s this fast at this price.

Not sure which fits? Send us your current site. The mockup comes back with the build we’d recommend, and if the answer is that you don’t need us yet, we’ll say that instead.
The proof was already on their phones.
Bret came to us with a site he’d built himself. He knew exactly what his company was, and the site wasn’t showing it yet. Roof coatings are bought on trust: a homeowner can’t inspect a coating before it goes on, so all they can judge is what the crew did for somebody else.
So we built five pages around Hamilton’s own photos. Thirteen jobs appear as before-and-afters you drag across yourself, three reviews are quoted word for word, and an estimate form sits on every page.
“They took the website I had pieced together myself and turned it into something polished and professional that represents Hamilton Solutions exactly the way I wanted!”

Not every client is a contractor. These three aren’t, and each case file says what we did and what came of it.

Wabbit took our website, a meager performer at best, and transformed it into a critical asset.

A website has exactly one job.
It has to bring you the right customers and screen out the ones who’d waste your time. The design, the load speed and how it feels on a phone all count as far as they serve that. When it works, a stranger lands, sees what you do, decides you’re the real thing and gets in touch already half-sold.
When it doesn’t, the cost never shows up on an invoice. It’s the referral who looked, hesitated and called someone else. If an average job is worth $1,500 to you (use your own number), losing one a month costs $18,000 a year.
That’s why we start with how your business makes money, and build the site around that.
Three phases. Two revision passes.
- $2,750owned outright at launch
- Inside two weeksdated on day one
- Deposit backif you walk after round one
You send your content, and we agree what the site has to do: the brief, the five pages, the proof to lead with, and your go-live date in writing. If your content arrives late, the date moves with it, day for day.
We design, you review, we revise. Two passes on the direction we agreed.
It goes live on the date we wrote down, on your domain. We look after hosting and security from then on.
Don’t like the direction after round one? Your full $1,375 deposit comes back. Walk after round two and half of it does. If you need to be live sooner than the date allows, Launch is seven days, guaranteed.
You never have to think about it.
A live site needs hosting, security and someone watching it, so every site we build comes with Care. It starts at $100 a month with a 12-month minimum, then runs month to month: cancel any time with 30 days' notice, or move up a level whenever you need more from us.
Hosting, SSL, nightly backups, and security and uptime monitoring, plus one small change a month: new text, hours, prices or a photo.
Care, plus unlimited changes to the pages you already have, a plain-English readout of what the site is doing each month, and the one change we’d make next. New pages are a Grow project.
Tend, plus one new landing page, offer or test every month, aimed at the jobs you want more of.

Who should build this, and who shouldn’t.
- You run an established service business and referrals already work
- You want a site that brings in leads and screens them
- You’d rather hand off the technical side and get back to the work
- A straight price and a written date matter to you
- You need member logins, courses or a customer portal (that’s a platform build; see the last question below)
- You want to rebuild your own pages every weekend
- The lowest price is the only thing you’re comparing
- You’re opening your first online store and still proving it sells. Shopify or Wix will get you going for less, and we’ll say so.
Two hundred dollars and something to prove.
David and his partner had taught the method for years when they realized they’d never proved it themselves, from nothing. So in 2017 David bet he could build a real business from $200, with no loans and no investors. He won by December 2018, and Wabbit has run on that method since. Across the work it has shipped, clients have made more than $50M, most of it from two businesses, one built before Wabbit existed.
Common questions.
Something we haven’t answered?
Ask us →How fast, really?
Launch is live seven days after we have your content, guaranteed: every day late is a free month of Care. Static gets a written go-live date on day one, inside two weeks and usually sooner. Both clocks start when your content arrives, and a delay on your side moves the date by the same number of days. Launch guarantees the date; Static guarantees the work, which is what the walk-away rounds are for.
What does the free mockup involve?
Send us your current site, or tell us about the business if you don’t have one, and what isn’t working. Within three business days we’ll send a mockup of your new home page at a private link, built with your name and your services, along with the build we’d recommend. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing. If you want to go ahead, we send a proposal.
Is starting with Static money wasted if I grow?
No. If you outgrow it, what you paid for Static is credited toward a platform build, and your content and domain move with you.
What if I need changes after launch?
Care includes one small change a month. Tend, at $250 a month, makes changes to your existing pages unlimited. Grow, from $750 a month, adds a new page, offer or test every month.
Do I own it?
A Static site is yours outright from launch: the build, the content and the domain. A Launch site runs on our layouts and our hosting, so the build stays ours. Your content and your domain are yours either way, and they go with you if you leave.
What if I need to take payments?
Basic checkout is a +$2,250 add-on to a Static build, $5,000 total for site plus store. It’s Stripe on your own site, and you run the store yourself: add products and change prices, with no per-product fees and no catalog cap. If you’re still proving the thing sells, start on Shopify or Wix instead; we’ll tell you so. Price them fairly, though: their number assumes you do the work, hiring help costs about what we do, and the store is still rented. Invoicing, contracts, support tickets or a real customer portal is a platform build.
Can you rebuild my current site?
Usually, yes. A lot of Static builds replace a site that stopped earning its keep. Put your current site in the form and the mockup will show you the replacement.
What if I need logins, members or courses?
Then you’ve outgrown a website, and what you need is a platform: software built around how your operation runs. An MVP is $25,000 fixed and full platforms start at $55,000, and every build starts with a $5,000 Architecture Sprint that’s credited in full if you build. Running it costs about 15% of the build a year, billed monthly: about $310 a month on a $25K MVP and about $690 at the $55K floor. You own your platform’s code and your data, and you hold a permanent licence to the Tome parts it runs on. What you paid for a Static site is credited too. See Platform Builds →
See your new home page before you spend a dollar.
Send us your current site and tell us what isn’t working. Within three business days we’ll send a mockup of your new home page at a private link, with the build we’d recommend and why. If you’d rather not go ahead, that’s the end of it.
Ask for a 15-minute call. We’ll reply the same day or the next to set a time.
