01
Why us

The big-agency result.
Without the big-agency process.

01

Preview first

You see your real site before paying anything. Judge the work, not the pitch.

02

You talk to the team

The people designing your site are the people who reply. No account managers, no tickets.

03

Live in about a week

From first hello to launched in days, not months of discovery calls.

04

No contracts

Month to month, cancel anytime. We keep you by doing good work, not paperwork.

02
The real cost

What not having a
website actually costs.

01

You look less established

Customers quietly compare. A business with no site reads as a side gig, no matter how good the work is.

02

Google picks someone else

When someone searches for your service nearby, your competitors' sites answer. Every one of those calls was yours.

03

You're invisible on phones

Nine in ten local searches happen on a phone, usually standing on a sidewalk. No site means no directions, no hours, no call button.

04

You compete only on price

Without a site telling your story, the only thing left to compare is the number on the estimate.

03
What's included

Everything a real
website actually needs.

DESIGN

Custom design from scratch

Built for your business, your customers, your town. Never a template, never a stock layout.

HOSTING

Hosting & domain handled

Fast, secure, backed up. You never touch a server or renew a certificate.

CARE

Updates included monthly

New hours, new photos, new services. Email it and it's done.

LOCAL

Google Maps & local search

Set up so the people nearby actually find you when it matters.

SPEED

Mobile-first and fast

Designed for the phone in a customer's hand before the desktop on a desk.

SUPPORT

Support by email

Questions answered within one business day by the team that built it.

04

Compare honestly

Three ways to get
a website. One makes sense.

The DIY route

Wix, GoDaddy, Squarespace
  • You become the designer, the writer, and the tech support
  • A template look customers have seen a thousand times
  • "Free" adds up fast once you pay for the real features
  • Still your problem when something breaks
"Free"*

The big agency

Consultants & account managers
  • Months of discovery calls and revisions
  • An account manager between you and the builders
  • Every change afterward billed by the hour
  • Built to bill hours, not to ring your phone
$3,000–$8,000

The studio

A small team
that ships.

"Every business deserves a site that looks like it was made on purpose."

Built by Sites is a small, focused studio. The team that designs your site is the team that builds, hosts, and maintains it — no account managers, no juniors learning on your budget, no outsourcing.

Based in Virginia, building for businesses anywhere in the U.S. Auto shops, restaurants, salons, contractors, clinics, landscapers — if you serve your town, we build for you.

09
Questions

Asked often.

Why is it so affordable compared to agencies?

A small team, a tight process, and no big-agency overhead to pass on to you. Flat pricing built for real local businesses.

What if I don't like the preview site?

You pay nothing. The preview is free and there's no obligation — we'd rather earn the work than lock you in.

What's included in the monthly plan?

Hosting, domain, security, backups, monthly updates and edits, Google Maps and local search upkeep, and support by email within one business day.

Do you only work in Virginia?

No — we build for businesses anywhere in the United States. Everything happens over email, so distance never matters.

What if I want to own everything?

Buy out anytime for a flat $1,500–$2,500 and you own the site, the domain, and everything with it.
