Every web design project follows The ETHOS Method: five steps, 7 business days, counted from the day we receive your material.
A free Zoom call and a study of your market, your competitors and how your customers search.
We decide the pages, the order of your services and the message each visitor should see first.
Jana designs and we code every page by hand, around your photos, your reviews and your story.
Speed, accessibility and your three rounds of adjustments, until every page feels right on a phone.
A delivery meeting, the final 50% and launch on hosting in your name.
Sites with more than 10 pages get a timeline agreed on our call.
Book Your Free Website Strategy CallA website wins jobs when a stranger can trust you, understand your services and contact you in under a minute, on a phone.
Most visitors arrive on a phone between jobs or at night. Every page is designed for a small screen first.
A slow page loses people before they see your work. We target 95 to 100 on Google PageSpeed.
Before and after photos sell better than any slogan. We guide you to shoot them with your phone.
Your best Google reviews belong next to your services and your phone number, not on a hidden page.
A visible phone number, a short form and a WhatsApp option, so nobody has to search for how to call.
Each service gets its own page, so customers and search engines know exactly what you do.
Most underperforming sites fail for the same three reasons, and all of them cost less to avoid than to fix later.
Builder plans keep charging for as long as the site exists, and the SEO is still your job.
If the account is in their name, the site can disappear the day you stop paying them.
Heavy templates often load slowly on phones, and visitors leave before the page appears.
You own the hosting, the files and the accounts, so you are free to stay with us or leave at any time.
| Asset | Whose name it is in | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting account | Yours, from day one | You can change providers or designers without asking permission |
| Website files | Yours | The code we write is delivered to you and stays on your hosting |
| Google Search Console | Yours (on SEO & GEO projects) | You keep the history of how Google sees your site |
| Google Business Profile | Yours | We never take control of it; it should match your site exactly |
| Domain name | We recommend yours | Register it in your own name so nobody can hold it hostage |

Here are straight answers to the eight web design questions we hear most before a project starts.
Choose the Landing Page if you just opened, the Custom Website if most customers come from referrals, and the Website + SEO & GEO if you want new customers to find you on Google and AI tools. If you already have a site, the redesign uses the same prices.
$800 for a Landing Page, $1,500 for a Custom Website and $2,400 with SEO & GEO, paid once. To see how that compares, read how much does a small business website cost in 2026.
