Websites for local businesses
Websites that pull their weight.
We build fast, mobile-first sites for local businesses — then hand them over fully yours. Domain, hosting, no monthly lock-in. You see a free mockup before you pay a cent.
Flat pricing from $900 · No retainer · You own everything
The cobbler's kids have shoes — because speed is the whole point.
The problem
A slow, dated site quietly costs you calls.
More than half of visitors leave a page that takes over three seconds to load — and most local-business sites take far longer. If yours is slow, hard to use on a phone, or missing a clear way to call you, customers bounce to the competitor whose site just works. You've earned the reviews. Your website should match them.
How it works
Build first. You decide second.
We build a mockup
A real, working redesign of your site — not a template preview. Free, no commitment.
You see it live
Click through it on your phone. If it's not right, we adjust it or you walk away.
You approve & pay
One flat price, paid once. No hourly billing, no surprises, no retainer.
We hand it over
Domain and hosting in your name, all files, a plain-English guide. It's yours, free and clear.
Flat pricing
Two levels. No hidden costs.
Base
A sharp one-page site that does the job.
- Five sections: hero, services, about, reviews, contact
- Tap-to-call, quote form, embedded map
- Local SEO fundamentals built in
- Mobile-first, 90+ performance
- 30 days of support after launch
Standard
For businesses that serve a wider area.
- Everything in Base
- Service-area pages for each town you cover
- Expanded quote form (service type, timing)
- More content depth + FAQ
- Priority in the local map results
Want it maintained after launch? Optional Content Care from $79/mo — but only if you want it. The build itself is always yours to keep.
Why GroundWorks
You own it. Not us.
No lock-in
Domain and hosting go in your name from day one. Fire us tomorrow and you lose nothing.
No monthly fees
Pay once. No retainer, no "platform fee," no subscription holding your site hostage.
Genuinely fast
Static, hand-built, no bloated page-builders. It loads in under a second and stays that way.
See it before you buy
We build the real thing first. You judge the finished site, not a sales pitch.
