A site that's yours
Designed around your existing brand, your photos and your real services. Loads instantly, works properly on an old phone.
You've got the customers, social media, and the reputation. What you don't have is your own website or domain address to send them to — and every quote you've had wants a subscription for it.
Most small businesses I meet are in one of these three spots. All three are fixable in an afternoon.
.square.site or
.wixsite.com, so it never goes on the flyer, and the flyer is where your
customers actually look.Built around how your business already works — not a template with your logo dropped in.
Designed around your existing brand, your photos and your real services. Loads instantly, works properly on an old phone.
Buy buttons connected to the payment system you already use. Same rate you pay now. No new account, no new fees, money lands where it always has.
Tap any photo and there's a share button — X, Facebook, or straight into a message. It opens on that exact item, with the buy button already under it. Your customers end up doing your marketing for you.
A working request form, registered to your email address, not mine.
Domain, payments and customer emails all registered to you. You could sack me tomorrow and lose nothing.
A short document listing every account, what it costs, when it renews, how to update your own prices, and what to do if something looks wrong.
Anything that stops working through no fault of yours, fixed free for twelve months. Questions count too — if you're stuck, ask.
You keep a copy. Any developer, anywhere, can pick it up and host it. You are never locked in — to me or to anyone.
Honestly compared. Every one of these is a reasonable choice for somebody — just not for a small business with real customers and no spare $50 a month.

Builder figure is the cheapest plan that allows a custom domain — around $49/month billed annually when checked in August 2026. Wix, Squarespace and Shopify price similarly.
Yes. Genuinely — you could sit down tonight and have a decent-looking page by midnight. I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
Here's what it won't tell you. That the domain has to be registered in your name or you don't really own your address. That you don't need to build checkout at all, because your payment system already makes buy buttons and switching costs you nothing per sale. That the single most valuable thing on the page is marking things sold, because that's the message you're answering forty times a week. That the single most valuable thing on the page is showing what you charge, because "how much" is the question you're answering forty times a week. That the single most valuable thing on the page is showing what's open, because "are you free" is the question you're answering forty times a week. That a form doesn't send email by itself, so yours quietly goes nowhere.
You're not paying me for the HTML. You're paying me for the human decisions, tailored to your business — and for a page at the end that lists every account, every cost and every renewal date, so nothing about your own website is ever a mystery to you.
And you can always reach out. That's what the warranty is for.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Cash App, handled by Stripe. Nothing downloads — this is a build, not a file. I'll email you within a working day to collect your photos and prices, and your seven days start there. Not sure yet? Send me your work first — that's free, and I'll tell you honestly if a site isn't what you need.
Changed your mind before I start building? Full refund, no questions asked.
Once your site is live it's on your own domain, in your name — that isn't something either of us can hand back. From there the year of warranty takes over: anything that stops working gets fixed free.
Payments run through Stripe, who issue your receipt. The refund comes from me directly — there's no third party to argue with.
Finished templated designs go for $75 — you get the file and the instructions, and you handle the domain, the payment links and going live. Same design work, none of the setup. If you're comfortable tweaking it yourself, buy the design and keep your money.
There are 3D web designs too — animated heroes and landing sections you can drop into a site you already have.
Ask me and I'll send you what's ready.
Your warranty ends at twelve months. Your account doesn't. Every site I build comes with a free membership to the Callisto Labs Academy, and you keep it whether or not you ever need me again.
No card, no trial, nothing that expires. If you ever want the full builder's course that's a separate thing you can buy — but nothing here is a teaser for it.
I'd rather tell you now than take your money and disappoint you.
Free, no pitch. If it turns out you don't need a site, I'll say so.
