Most small-business sites are brochures. This one has a job: turn the people who find you into appointments on your calendar. Built by hand, fast on a phone, and wired into the same calendar your AI receptionist writes to. You're looking at one right now — I built this site.
Every page points at the same outcome: getting the visitor to contact you. Nothing on the site is there to look busy.
Most of your visitors are standing in a driveway on a cracked phone screen. That's the layout I design for first, then scale up to desktop.
Built by hand — no page builder, no plugin stack, no theme dragging thirty scripts behind it. It's quick because there's nothing in the way.
Visitors pick a real time on your real calendar instead of filling out a form and waiting. The same calendar your receptionist books onto.
Copy that says what you actually do, who you do it for, and what it costs to get started. I'll write it, or work from what you've got.
Service pages and service-area pages built around the words people in your area actually type, with the technical basics done properly rather than bolted on.
Domain, hosting, SSL, redirects from your old site. You don't get handed a folder of files and a login — it goes live and it works.
This is the part an agency can't do for you. The person building your site is the person who built your AI receptionist, so they're not two systems that have to be introduced to each other.
The receptionist answers the phone. The site books the ones who'd rather type. Together they cover both kinds of customer with one set of answers, one calendar, and one person maintaining it.
The site's booking page and your receptionist write to the same calendar. A slot taken by phone disappears from the site instantly, so nothing double-books.
The AI chat on your site is the same agent that answers your phone — same hours, same services, same pricing. Update it once and both change.
Phone bookings, site bookings, and chat bookings all arrive the same way, with the same details gathered. You're not checking three inboxes.
Nobody has to hand off, scope, or bill you for connecting the two. They were built by the same person, so they already fit.
One number for the build, and an optional monthly plan if you'd rather not think about the site again after it launches.
Half down to start. On a $4,999 build that's $2,500 up front. That deposit is what buys my time, so it's non-refundable once I start building.
The other half is invoiced when you approve the finished site, due within 15 days, and the site goes live once it clears. Nothing launches before you've approved it, and nothing launches before it's paid.
If you see the finished site and decide against it, that's allowed — you're not invoiced for the balance and nothing goes live. I keep the deposit for the work already done, and we're square.
The final price depends on scope — how many pages you actually need, whether I'm writing the copy or working from yours, and what has to connect to it. A five-page site with booking is a different job than a twelve-page site pulling in a product catalog.
So we talk it through first, and you get a fixed quote before anything starts. That number is the number. It doesn't move once we begin, and there's nothing to sign before you have it.
Additional pages are quoted individually. A simple content page and a booking or service-area page aren't the same amount of work, so I price what you actually need rather than charging by the page.
Some owners don't want another monthly line item. My time outside the plan is $150/hr, bought as a four-hour block for $600 — you buy the block, not the single change, and you draw it down whenever you want. Blocks are good for a year from purchase.
Worth knowing before you pick: the care plan's rate after your included hours is $100/hr. If you expect to need me regularly, the plan is the cheaper way to buy my time. If you expect to need me once a year, the block is.
Most of the businesses I set up need both — the receptionist answers the phone, the site books the people who'd rather not call. Do both together — a full website build plus a receptionist plan — and your receptionist setup fee comes off entirely.
You're on it. I built this site — the layout, the copy, the animation, the booking. It's the honest sample: if you like how this reads and how fast it loaded on your phone, that's what I do. I'd rather hand you something you can poke at than a gallery of screenshots from jobs you can't verify.
Three to five weeks for a five-page site, and most of that is content — getting the copy right and the photos gathered. The build itself is the fast part. I'll give you a real timeline in the quote, not a range designed to protect me.
Yes. The site, the copy, the domain, and the content are yours. If you ever want to take it somewhere else, you can, and I'll hand over the files without making it difficult.
No. It's there because most owners would rather not log in and edit anything themselves, but the site works perfectly without it. You can add it later, buy hours in blocks instead, or never buy either.
If you're weighing it: the plan is $200/mo and includes two hours of changes, with anything past that at $100/hr. Without the plan, my time comes in blocks — $600 buys four hours at $150/hr, paid up front, good for a year. So you're buying four hours whether you need four or one. On the plan, a small change is already covered.
Sometimes it isn't. If yours loads quickly, reads well on a phone, and books work, tell me on the call and I'll say so — I'd rather point you at the receptionist and leave your site alone than sell you a rebuild you don't need.
No, they're separate purchases and each stands on its own. They just happen to fit together unusually well when you have both, because the same person built them and they share one calendar.
Me. RunSmooth is one person — no agency, no subcontractors overseas, no account manager between you and the work. That's the whole point of hiring me instead of a firm.
30 minutes, no pitch. Tell me what your business does and who you're trying to reach. I'll tell you what the site needs to do, what it'll cost, and whether you even need one.
