The proof

Twelve are live.
Open any one of them.

Every site here was built for a real Seattle business, from what is publicly on its listing, before anyone asked us for anything. Open one on your phone, because that is the screen your customer is holding.

These are unofficial previews, marked as such, kept out of Google's index, and unconnected to these businesses beyond what is public on their listing. Nothing is published under a business's name until its owner says yes, and before that every image is replaced with material the owner holds the rights to.

Yours may already be built too. If it is, we will send you the link; if it isn't, we will tell you what we would change about the site you have.

Why it pays

The case for it,
in numbers you can check.

You have run this business without a proper website for years. So the argument has to be worth your money, not your feelings about the internet.

Findability

An AI can only recommend what it can read.

Your customers stopped typing into a search box. They ask an assistant (“where should I eat near Madison Valley tonight?”) and it answers with a short list. That list is assembled from what these systems can read about you, and more than half of it comes from your own site. Without one there is nothing for them to quote, so your name never reaches the shortlist.

What we do about it: every site ships with LocalBusiness and FAQ schema and listing data that matches your Google profile character for character, and we prepare and submit your Bing and Apple business profiles with you. Both platforms make the owner do the verification step, so we walk you through it on your phone.

The rating

One star is worth five to nine percent.

Harvard Business School measured this on the restaurants of this city: every extra star on a Yelp page moved revenue by 5 to 9 percent. The data runs from 2003 to 2009 and was cross-checked against what those restaurants actually declared to the state, and the effect showed up only in independent businesses, never in chains. The rating is one of the few numbers where a place like yours holds the advantage.

What we do about it: your site asks for the review at the right moment, right after the visit, from the phone that was just in the room, instead of hoping somebody remembers a week later.
5–9%more revenue per extra star, measured across Seattle restaurants against seven years of state revenue records, 2003–2009.
54%of people go to the business's own website right after reading good reviews. If there is nothing to go to, the trail ends.
36%name a business's own site as a place they trust for its information, ahead of Facebook and Yelp.

Reviews

A review funnel that doesn't cheat.

Here is exactly how ours works, because most of them are quietly illegal. A customer scans the QR on the counter or on the receipt and rates the visit. Four or five stars: straight to your Google page, one tap, while they still remember the name of the person who served them. One to three stars: a private form that lands in your inbox first, with the Google link still on the screen. Hiding that link from unhappy customers is review gating, and it can carry penalties under the FTC's rules on reviews.

What you get: more reviews from the people who enjoyed it, complaints that reach you before they reach the internet, and nobody with a case against you.
QRA code on the counter or on the receipt. No app, nothing to install, works on any phone. Printed NFC cards, if you want them, are ordered separately.
4–5★Straight to Google, one tap, review box pre-loaded.
1–3★Private form to you, page kept out of search, and the Google option stays visible to them too.

How it works

How it goes
from here.

You never got around to this because every quote before ours started with a two-hour discovery call and a request for “your brand assets”, so we took that part out of the process.

FIRST

Open the site.

It already exists, at your-business.nfc-studio.app. There is nothing to prepare and nobody to meet: you look at it for two minutes, on your phone, between customers.

THEN

Tell us what's wrong.

One email: wrong hours, a price that changed, a dish we missed, a photo you hate. We fix it, usually the same day, and keep correcting for as many rounds as you need through the first two weeks. Then we agree a publication date.

FINALLY

It goes live on your domain.

We register the domain in your business's name, move the site onto it, and connect it to your Google profile. The invoice goes out that day, payable on receipt or within seven days. If you walk away before publication, you owe nothing and we delete the preview.

Pricing

Three plans.
Most take the middle one.

Setup once, then a monthly fee that keeps the site fast, current and answered by a human. Prices in US dollars; they exclude any Washington state or local taxes that apply.

You don't pay until it's live on your own domain.

No deposit, no card on file, no contract to sign beforehand. The only thing we ask before publishing is a go-ahead by email confirming the plan and the price. If you don't want it after the corrections, we delete it and you never hear from us again.

Split the setup, 0% interest

Storefront2 × $498 + $499
Bookings3 × $650
Flagship3 × $1,300

Three monthly payments, adding up to exactly the setup price. No interest, no financing company, no credit check, and no term.

Or nothing down at all

Storefront$229 / mo
Bookings$349 / mo
Flagship$645 / mo

No setup fee, because we finance the build. This route, and only this route, runs on a twelve-month term: cancel before month twelve and we invoice the part of the setup still outstanding. From month thirteen it drops to the plan's normal fee of $99, $179 or $299.

Pay the year, pay for ten months

Pay twelve months of the monthly fee up front and you pay for ten of them: a year of care at the price of ten months, on any plan. The setup fee is never discounted, by anyone, for any reason.

$990, $1,790 or $2,990 for the year. On the setup routes there is no term at all: cancel any month with 30 days' notice, with no cancellation fee, and the site and domain stay yours.

The monthly fee

What “a change” means, before you ask.

Every plan carries a number of change requests, and one category that never counts against them. Hours, a phone number, a new address, a holiday closure, a broken link, a mistake of ours: free, always, on all three plans. Those are the ones you need today, they take us minutes, and charging for them would be absurd.

A change request is one batch of edits to content that already exists (text, prices, photos you send us, adding or dropping a dish or a service, swapping a link), up to about half an hour of work. However long the email, it counts as one. It comes back checked, with a before and after.

What is not a change request, and gets quoted before anyone starts: a new page or section, a redesign, new functionality, a new integration, writing copy or shooting photos from scratch, a new language, a migration.

Requests you don't use bank inside the quarter and expire when it closes. If January and February are quiet, March can take six at once. We commit to the deadline rather than to paperwork, and there is no “unlimited” anywhere on this page because nobody in this industry means it.

The honest comparison

What year one actually costs.

A Seattle agency will quote you $2,500 to $7,500 for the build and $50 to $200 a month to keep it alive, so call it $3,100 to $9,900 in the first year, with a three-month calendar and a discovery call before anyone draws a pixel. The studios advertising in this city's directories declare project minimums from $5,000, at $125 to $200 an hour.

At the other end, $1,500 in Seattle buys a six-page Squarespace site, and you still pay Squarespace $348 to $672 a year on top of it. Doing it yourself is $500 to $780 a year once you add the domain, the email and the booking app, plus twenty to forty of your own hours: at $63 a haircut, that is $1,300 to $2,500 of work you did not take.

Ours is $2,683 to $7,488 in year one, hand-coded, on your own domain, with hosting, local SEO, the review funnel and a year of care inside it. And you saw it working before paying anything.

Straight answers

The six things owners
actually ask us.

“I already have Instagram and a Facebook page.”
Those show you to people who already follow you. Google, Maps and the AI assistants show you to the person who is looking for what you sell, right now, and has never heard of you. When people are asked where they get information about a local business, a business's own site sits above Facebook and Yelp. Keep the Instagram, it feeds the site; it simply cannot do this job.
“People find me anyway. I've been here for years.”
The ones who know you do. The question is the one who doesn't: 76% of people searching “near me” on a phone visit a business within 24 hours, and two in ten local searches end in a purchase the same day. Those are decisions made in ninety seconds, on a screen, by someone comparing you with two other places. Right now you are showing up to that comparison with no answer.
“How long does this take? I don't have time for a project.”
The build is already done, which is the whole point. From your go-ahead, the domain and the content pass usually take under a week, and the only thing we need from you is a reply to one email with corrections. After that, every change comes back inside the window your plan commits to, whether that is five business days, 48 hours or 24 hours, and anything urgent such as hours or a phone number is free and goes out the next business day at the latest. There is no discovery call and no homework.
“Who owns the domain and the site?”
You do. The domain is registered in your business's name with you as the owner, not held hostage in our account, and if you ever leave you take it, and the site's files, with you. Two honest caveats: the hosting and the care stop when the plan does, and a font or a photo we licensed for you may not be transferable, so we tell you which, in writing, on the way out. Until the day it goes live, the preview sits on a subdomain of ours, kept out of Google, which is what protects both of us.
“Am I locked into a contract?”
Not on the setup routes. Pay the setup, in one go or in three, and then cancel any month with 30 days' notice: no cancellation fee, and the site and the domain stay yours. The one exception is the $0-down route, and we say it plainly because we are the ones financing the build: it runs on a twelve-month term, and if you cancel before month twelve we invoice the part of the setup still outstanding. From month thirteen it drops to the plan's normal monthly fee.
“What about the photos in the preview?”
The preview uses what is publicly visible on your listing so you can see the shape of the thing. Before it goes live under your name, every image is replaced: photos you own, images we license and pay for, or a session we arrange for you with a photographer here in Seattle. Nothing you don't have the rights to ends up on your site; sorting that out is our job, not yours.
