It happens without you there
Before anyone picks up the phone, they pull up your name. If there's nothing to find, the easy read is that you're small, new, or no longer in business. None of that may be true. It still costs you the call.
A customer, a property manager, somebody deciding which of three names to call first. The one thing they all do is search you. If what comes back is a Facebook page from 2019, you just lost ground you earned in person. Everline Sites builds you a real website in about a week, for $999.
You can be the best on the list and still get passed over by someone easier to check out.
Before anyone picks up the phone, they pull up your name. If there's nothing to find, the easy read is that you're small, new, or no longer in business. None of that may be true. It still costs you the call.
Your license numbers, insurance, certifications, how long you've been open, the awards and memberships you earned. Put them on a page you control instead of making someone email you for a PDF.
Most business cards get thrown away within a week of being handed over. A card that points to a real site is something they can open at their desk later and forward to the person who actually makes the call.
Built around what the person checking you out needs to see, in the order they need to see it.
Your services in plain words. Your service area. Years in business. The kind of work you want more of, stated clearly enough that someone can tell in five seconds whether to call you.
License numbers, certifications, insurance, memberships, whatever your field asks you to prove. Written exactly as they appear on your paperwork, not paraphrased.
Your own photos of finished work, your menu, your rooms, your results, whatever you'd show someone in person. If your photos are thin we lean on type and layout rather than filling the page with stock images of strangers.
Tap to call on a phone, plus a short contact form that works out what they want, roughly what it's worth and where they are, then emails you a written summary. You get a usable lead instead of a name and the word "quote". No popup, no chat bot pestering people while they read.
Most people checking you out are doing it on a phone, often on bad signal. The site is built to load quickly, read at arm's length, and work with one thumb.
Your business details marked up the way Google expects, a sitemap, and your Google Business Profile tied in so your listing and your site point at each other.
What you do, who you want calling you, what you have to prove on paper. Send over whatever photos and documents you already have. If you have nothing, that's fine, we work from what's public and you fill gaps later.
A working site at a private link within about a week. You open it on your own phone, mark up anything that's wrong, and I fix it. No mockups, no slide decks, no revision limits inside the first round.
Pointed at your domain, on your own hosting account in your name. You get the login. If you ever want to leave, you take the whole thing with you and nothing breaks.
No discovery phase, no proposal, no tiered packages designed to push you up a level.
Hosting, the security certificate, backups, keeping your domain from lapsing, and one small change a month. Cancel whenever. If you'd rather hold the keys yourself, skip it and I'll hand you the logins.
Small edit, $75. New phone number, swapped photos, updated hours, a price change, a certification added.
New page or section, $250. A service you've added, a write-up of a job you're proud of, a page aimed at one kind of customer.
Anything bigger gets a number first. You approve it before I start. There's no hourly meter running and no invoice you didn't agree to.
Your domain, roughly $12 to $30 a year, bought in your name. Photography, if you want a pro on site rather than your own phone photos.
Maybe not. If it loads fast, reads well on a phone and says what you do, keep it. I'll tell you that for free rather than sell you a rebuild. What usually needs fixing is a site that doesn't work on a phone, takes too long to load, or doesn't say which towns you cover.
About twenty minutes on the phone, your license and certification numbers, and whatever job photos are on your phone. That's enough to start. Everything else we can fill in as we go.
About a week is normal. Faster is possible if you have your photos and paperwork ready and you turn around the review quickly.
No. The site is yours once the $999 is paid, on accounts in your name. The $49 covers hosting, the certificate, backups, your domain renewal and one small change a month. Skip it, take the logins, and run it yourself. Plenty of people do and that's a fine outcome.
Yes, and they go near the top where someone checking you out will look. They get copied exactly as they read on your certificate. I won't write a claim about your business that you can't back up on paper.
Any local business with a front door or a service area. Shops, salons, restaurants, trades, clinics, studios, accountants, cleaners, trainers. If people search your name before they decide to call, a site earns its money.
That's the whole first step. I'll look you up the same way your next customer would and send you back what I find, whether or not you hire me.
