Tell me what you do and where you do it. I build the homepage. Then you look at it and decide — keep it, change it, or walk away and owe me nothing.
Then let me build the one that is. Tell me what you do and I will put a sample together for your trade this week, before you have committed to anything at all.
These are examples, not your business. Send me a text, ring (913) 712-6630 or send me an email, tell me what you do, and the next one you look at will have your name on it.
These are the twenty I get asked for most, and the ones least likely to have a website already. They exist before anybody asks. Look at what changes between them: it is never just the paint.
Plumber The number is the page. Somebody with water coming through a ceiling is not going to read a paragraph, so there is not one.
Pick a trade to open it.
Press it. Someone picks up — not a machine, and not a call centre.
Licensed, insured, and twenty years of other people’s wiring.
Full replacements, repairs and insurance work across the county.
Patios, lawns, fences and clearances. Free quote, and a date you can hold me to.
See finished workCheck-ups, hygiene, crowns and same-day emergencies.
Anything not on the list, ask. It is probably a yes.
No job too small. Here is what small costs.
Prices are for the job, not the hour. If it takes me longer than I said, that is my problem.
Same driveway. Same afternoon.

Hunter Green. Two coats, cut in by hand, no tape lines.
No contract. Tell me to stop any week and I stop, and you pay for the cuts you had.
21 years on the peninsula. Fully insured, and here is the proof before you ask for it.
Stump grinding, crown work and removals. We leave the site swept.
You are paying for space on the truck. So that is what the price is.
Point at the one you meant.
Posts go in concrete, three feet down. That is why mine are still standing after a hurricane season.

Charleston humidity does one thing to a deck. Go and press a board with your thumb, then read this.
Count your windows. That is the whole quote.
These are built by me for this page, not client work — I am starting out and I am not going to dress a demo up as somebody’s business. If your trade is one of the twenty, that is roughly where yours would begin. If it is not, say so and I will build the next one.
It is twenty to nine on a Tuesday and there is water coming through a ceiling in Mount Pleasant. Here is what the next forty seconds look like from the other end — the end you never get to see.
Not at looking clever, not at winning an award. At being the one he can reach while the water is still coming through. If you want to know how your own site does in that minute, ring me and I will look at it with you — that costs nothing and takes about five.
The order matters more than anything else on this page. You have already seen the thing before any money is discussed.
What you do, who you do it for, which jobs you actually want more of, and where you work. That is the whole interview.
A real page, on a real address you can open on your phone and show somebody. Not a drawing, not a slide.
Wrong photos, wrong words, wrong colour, wrong altogether. I change it, or you walk away and it has cost you nothing.
Remaining pages, your Google Business Profile tidied up, the whole thing on your own domain in your own name. Now you pay.
I am starting out and I would rather say so than invent five years of happy clients. What I can do is hand you something I built on my own, in full, and let you use it right now.
An app that teaches an older person to use their phone or their PC by walking them through a practice copy of their own screen. Every lesson written, drawn and tested by me. It is the standard of care you would be buying.
Go and have a lookLeft is how it usually is. Right is what I would do about it. Nothing to press — the difference is meant to be obvious without being operated.

One press. It dials.
The number Typed as text halfway down a page, it has to be copied out. As a button it dials, and the person calling never had to think about it.
On a phone A site built for a desktop makes a phone scroll sideways to read one sentence. Most of the people looking for you are holding a phone in a yard.

Eight places to look for one phone number.
What I do · What it costs · Call me
Three, and one of them is the point.
How much there is Eight menu items is eight decisions before anybody rings you. A small business does not need a website with a table of contents.
Anybody who will not put a number on a page is planning to work out what you can afford after they have met you. So here are both of mine. Which one suits you comes down to a single question: would you rather never think about the website again, or never owe anybody a bill?
Nothing down, and nothing to arrange. One bill covers the site, the hosting, the domain and any change you ask for, for as long as you keep it. No setup, no invoice from anybody else, and if the work dries up you stop paying.
The site itself
Getting found
After it is live
Cancel in any month — no notice, no fee, no conversation about why. The domain is in your name from the first day, so if you go, you go with it and your customers still find you.
One payment, then nothing. The same four or five page site, built the same way, handed over and yours outright. Take this one if you have the money now and would rather not owe anybody anything after Friday.
The site itself
Paying
Afterwards
More pages, a booking form or a shop cost more. You get that number before I start, not after.
Eight months in, the monthly passes the one-off. I would rather say that here than have you work it out in month nine. What the difference buys after that is the hosting, the domain, the same-day fixes and every change you ring me about. So if you already know you will never ring me, buy it outright and you come out ahead — I will still build you the same site either way. The only thing that changes is who is holding the bill.
Cheaper to say it here than to waste an afternoon each finding out.
Small shops are fine. A full catalogue with stock control wants somebody who does only that.
I build websites. A real App Store app is a different job and a different bill.
I will set the foundations properly and tidy your profile. Anybody promising you the top spot is guessing.
If you already have forty pages and a booking system, you want an agency with a team, not one person.
Tell me the trade and the town. If I cannot make something you would be glad to hand out, I will say so and we will both get on with our day.
Arthurnvss@outlook.com — I answer the phone. If I miss you, I ring back the same day.
