Why a website?

A Facebook page is a start. A website is home base.

Drag the slider to compare. Keep your Facebook page. A website adds your own web address, one-tap call and booking buttons, and a Google Maps and reviews section, all in one place.

A real website: the Tech Tamer homepage, with a big headline, call and text buttons, and the services right up front

How it works

Five simple steps, start to finish.

You see your site before you pay for anything, and we talk it all through with no tech jargon.

  1. Step 1:

    A short call.

    Tell me about your business: what you do, who your customers are, and what you already have online.

  2. FreeStep 2:

    Build a free preview.

    After our call, I put together one personalized preview so you can see how your site could look. It’s a set demo to show the direction, not unlimited redesigns.

  3. Step 3:

    A fit check.

    We go over the terms together. If it feels right, we move ahead. If not, no hard feelings.

  4. Step 4:

    $800 to launch.

    A $400 deposit gets us started. The other $400 is due when your site goes live.

  5. Step 5:

    Go-live.

    Your site goes live and I walk you through it. Share it, put it on your cards, and send customers its way.

Two simple prices

Build it once. Keep it running.

One clear price to build and launch your site, and an optional plan to look after it.

First month free
Optional · Website Care Plan
$25/ month
First month free, cancel anytime

I take care of your website so you never have to think about it.

  • Hosting and your yearly domain renewal included
  • Repairs to the existing site are included
  • Your hours, phone, and booking kept in sync with Google
  • A short monthly email confirming everything’s working

The plan is billed monthly to your card through Stripe after the free month. To cancel, email or text me before your next billing date. Care continues through the current paid period.

What costs extra

New features, redesigns, integrations, and big content work are quoted separately at $50/hour.

  • Requested changes: $50/hour, with or without the Care Plan. This means new content, new pages, design changes, new services or prices, and new photos.
  • Website audits: $50/hour
  • Hosting and domain after year one without the Care Plan: $120/year (included with the Care Plan)

If you’re not sure whether something is included, just ask. I’ll tell you before any work starts.

Included repairs restore your existing site’s functionality. New features, content changes, and work caused by changes to third-party services are quoted separately. Third-party outages and account restrictions are outside my control, but I can help you figure out the next step.

Without the Care Plan

That’s fine too. Here’s how it works:

  • Your site is hosted free for the first year
  • After that, hosting and domain are $120/year
  • Fixes are $50/hour

Requested changes are $50/hour either way. If you cancel care during the first year, that year’s hosting stays included. After year one, you can switch to the $120/year hosting and domain option or move the site elsewhere.

Good to know

A few plain answers.

What happens to the deposit?

The deposit covers work already done, so it isn’t refundable once the build or edits have started. You can walk away any time before go-live and you won’t owe the remaining balance.

Who owns the site?

Josh owns the design and code until you’ve paid in full. Then you own your content and site, and you can have the domain transferred to you anytime.

Do I have to share my passwords?

No. You never share passwords or email access. Booking, Google, and Facebook connect through embed codes and invites you send or approve.

Where is my site hosted?

Josh registers your domain on his Cloudflare account and hosts your site on his GitHub Pages and Cloudflare accounts, the same way this site is hosted.
