Starter Site
Local Starter
$499 one-time
New — taking our first clients nowHosting included for the first 12 months. You own your domain (about $15/yr).
A 5-section site — hero, services, gallery, about, contact/book-now — built from your own photos, with your Google Business Profile claimed and set up. 48–72 hours from when you send your photos. Hosting included for the first 12 months; you own your domain (about $15/yr). Two rounds of changes before it goes live: tell me everything you'd change, I update it, then one more pass.
Included with every plan
One-tap Google review requests are included
- After a finished job, you tap once in your Client Hub and your customer gets a short text or email with a direct link to your Google review form.
- Everyone you ask gets the same message. We never filter who is asked, and nothing is offered in return for a review.
- Each message names your business and says how to opt out. Texts only go out between 8 AM and 9 PM, and each customer gets one request and at most one reminder.
- You only send to people who have already bought from you. You see every request in the Hub.
In plain English
How it works
- You send your photos, your services, and the link to the booking app you already use.
- We build a 5-section site: hero, services, gallery, about, and contact/book-now.
- We claim and set up your Google Business Profile.
- It goes live 48–72 hours after you send your photos, with one Book Now button pointed at your booking app.
What you do
- Send photos, your service list and your booking link.
- Approve the site before it goes live.
What you get
- A real 5-section website.
- Your Google Business Profile claimed and set up.
- Your booking app kept, not replaced.

What you'll see
Your site is one of our first, so there's no finished client site to show yet, and I won't mock one up. Every build starts from the same onboarding as the trades sites. This is the real style picker:

The honest read: DIY builders are cheaper per month and leave the work to you. Booking apps take a cut of new clients from their marketplace. A DWA site sends people straight to your booking app, and Fresha, for one, doesn't charge a commission on bookings from your own channels.
Competitor prices are what each company publishes on its own site, or what a named review site reported, when we checked in September 2026. Prices change, so follow the source link before you decide.

Questions
I run a barber shop / salon / small shop, not a trades company — is this for me?
That's the Local Starter lane. It wraps whatever booking app you already use instead of replacing it. $499 one-time, hosting included for the first 12 months, and you own your domain (about $15/yr).
Do I own my site if I leave?
Yes. Your domain, hosting account, code, and content are yours once paid in full. You get a full data export and a written handover checklist if you go.
