Webbie Build me a version

Every business deserves a real website. So we don't charge to build yours.

Websites are now cheaper than ever. We'll even build yours for free. We only charge for maintenance, $64 per month, cancel anytime. You never have to touch it.

There's nobody to call.

Most contractors we talk to are in one of three spots. No website at all. A site frozen since 2014 because the guy who built it stopped answering. Or a half-finished page on Wix from the weekend they ran out of time.

The site itself was never the problem. The problem is that your hours changed, your prices changed, you added a service, and nothing on the site moved, because there was no one to ask.

Webbie is someone who answers about your website. We build it, we host it, and when something changes in your business, you text us and it changes on the site that day.

How it works?

1. You tell us about the business

Name, trade, city, what you do, a few photos of your work if you have them. That's all we need from your side.

2. We build a version, you look at it

A real page for your actual business, not a template with your name dropped in. We email you the link so you can look at it on your own time. Nothing is charged until you say yes.

3. It goes live, you stop thinking about it

Hours change, prices change, you finish a job worth showing. You text us. It's on the site the same day.

What $64 a month covers

  • Hosting
  • Your domain
  • SSL certificate
  • Backups
  • Security
  • Uptime monitoring
  • Local SEO
  • Same-day changes to your site, as many as you need

Included in the $64

Anything on the site you already have. Hours, prices, photos, services, staff, text. Text it, it's live that day.

The price, stated flat.

Why we don't charge for the build

A web guy quotes you $3,000, then bills you monthly on top. We skipped the $3,000. We make our money on the $64 a month, and the day you leave, we lose it. That keeps us answering.

Do the math for your case.

Drag the slider. The bars show what you'd have paid in total after that many months, build and upkeep together.

Web guy or agency$4,800
$3,000 build + $1,800 upkeep (12 months x $150)
Build it yourself$300+ 44 hours, worth $2,200
$300 for the builder (12 months x $25) + about 44 hours of your time (around 20 to build it, then 2 a month for changes). At $50 an hour, the striped part, that time is worth $2,200
Webbie$768
$0 build + $768 (12 months x $64). Your time: one short form, then an email when something changes

Built for people who run a truck.

Painters. Concrete, masonry and paving. Remodelers and general contractors. Fence and deck builders. Tree services. Electricians. Cleaning companies. Roofers, plumbers, HVAC, landscapers, and the rest of the trades.

If your customers find you on Google Maps and call, this is for you. If you sell software, it isn't.

The questions people ask us

GoDaddy is ten bucks a month. Why pay $64?

Right. And when your hours change, GoDaddy doesn't change them. You do. You're not paying us for hosting. You're paying us so you never have to deal with the site again.

What's the catch? Why don't you charge for the build?

No catch. Websites don't cost what they used to build, and we think every business should have one, cheap or at no cost. The monthly is how that works. Here's the part most people don't know: a web guy who charges you $3,000 for the build still bills you every month after that. Hosting, updates, backups, edits. For a small business site that runs $50 to $500 a month on top of the build. We skipped the $3,000 and kept the monthly. If we charged you upfront, we'd have no reason to answer your emails again. This way we get paid when you keep us, and not before.

Who are you?

A small team that builds and looks after websites for contractors. The honest answer to "can I trust you" is the version we build first. You look at the real thing, then decide.

Is there a contract?

No. It's $64 a month, month to month, from the first day. No minimum term, no setup fee, no cancellation fee. When you pay the first month, you tick one box to accept our service terms, written in plain English, and that's the whole paperwork.

I already have a website.

When's the last time anything on it changed? And who did you call to do it? If you're already paying someone to host it, this is about the same money, except someone answers.

What if I want to cancel?

Send one email. The site stays up through the month you've paid for, then it comes down. No fee, no retention call, no hard feelings.

Do I own the site?

Your business name, your content and your photos are yours, always. The site itself we build, host and look after for as long as you're with us, and the $64 is the whole relationship. If you leave, it comes down. We'd rather say that straight than dress it up.

Whose name is the domain in?

If you already have a domain, it stays in your name and stays yours. If you don't, we register one for you and it's included in the $64. That one is in our name, and if you leave, you can buy it from us for exactly what we paid. Nothing added on.

What counts as a change I don't pay for?

Anything on the site you already have: hours, prices, photos, services, staff, text. Text it to us by 3 pm your time on a weekday, it's live the same day. Later than that, it's live the next business day. New pages, a redesign or new functionality like online booking get quoted separately.

Build me a version.

Tell us the business. We build a page for it and email you the link. Takes a few days. Nothing is charged until you say yes.
