I write the words, take the photos at your business and set up your Google listing. You approve it, you own it, and you get your launch date in writing before you pay anything.
$500 one time for my first 3 website clients, plus tax. No required monthly fee. Why so low?
Hi, I'm your name. I'm a Baylor student who lives in Waco, and I answer this phone myself.

What you get
Up to 5 pages: home, services, work, about and contact. A call button that stays on screen, and a quote or booking form that sends every request straight to your email, so you see it on your phone. Want text alerts too? I'll quote the small monthly cost.
We talk for 30 minutes. I turn what you say into clear, plain copy in your voice. You read it and tell me what to change.
One photo session at your shop or job site, up to 90 minutes. At a customer's home, I only shoot with the homeowner's OK. You can also send me your own best photos.
Categories, hours, services, photos and your website link, filled in on your Google Business Profile. You stay the owner and add me as a manager. The listing itself is free from Google; you're paying for my time.
Your domain, hosting and Google listing are in your name, in your own accounts. Once it's paid, the site, the words and the photos I take are yours: my contract transfers the copyright to you.
Two rounds of revisions before launch. For 30 days after launch, if something I built doesn't work the way we agreed, I fix it at no extra charge.

How it works
Send me your business name. I'll make a quick mockup of your homepage and walk you through it, along with what customers see when they Google you. At your place or by phone. No cost, and you don't have to hire me.
Before you pay anythingA 30-minute conversation and a photo session at your business. You pay 50% to reserve your start date. If I can't start on that date, I refund it in full.
Week 1You get a private preview link and two rounds of changes. Once you approve it and pay the other 50%, it goes live on your domain.
Target: about 3 weeks after photo dayAbout me
I'm a student at Baylor, and I build websites for Waco businesses on my own time. I started Brazos Site Co. because a lot of good local businesses are hard to find online, or paying every month for a site they can't change.
The honest part: you'd be one of my first clients. I don't have client sites to show you yet, which is why my first three get my founding rate and my full attention.
I'll meet you in person, write the words with you, take the photos myself and hand you the keys when we're done. The name comes from the Brazos, the river that runs through town.
My cell is your phone number. Text me anytime. I reply by the next business day.
Brazos Site Co. is my own business and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Baylor University.
Pricing
| Cost | Brazos Site Co. | A typical $199 + $30/mo plan |
|---|---|---|
| Up front | $500 | $199 |
| Every month | $0 required | $30 |
| First year | about $515 | $559 |
| After 3 years | about $545 | $1,279 |
| Photos | Taken at your business | Usually stock |
| If you stop paying monthly | Your site stays up. It's yours. | Ask before you sign |
Tax not included on either side. My column includes a domain at about $15 a year and assumes you skip the optional care plan. Whoever you hire, ask: Is the domain in my name? If I stop paying monthly, do I keep my site? Are the photos of my business or stock?
$500
Founding price for my first 3 website clients. 3 of 3 spots open. After those, it's $900 for clients 4 and 5, then $1,200.
Why $500? I'm new, and I don't have client work to show you yet. I'd rather earn your trust with real work and a fair price than pretend otherwise. I won't ask for a Google review as part of the deal, and if I ever quote you on this site, I'll say you got the founding price.
$49/mo per month
Skip it and your site keeps running for $0 a month. Month to month; cancel anytime by text or email.
Not ready for a website? Start with your Google listing. I'll clean up your Google Business Profile and give you 50 cards that ask customers for an honest review, for $149 + tax. Get a website within 30 days and the $149 comes off the price. The cards go to every customer. No rewards for reviews and no screening out unhappy customers; Google doesn't allow either.
All prices plus Texas sales tax (see "What does it cost, all in?" below). Your domain is usually $10–25 a year, paid by you, in your name. Hosting: I set your site up on a free hosting plan in your own account. If your site ever needs a paid plan, I'll tell you the price in writing before you pay anything.
Add-on: QR codes
People see your truck, your sign or your counter every day. A QR code opens a page made for that moment: request an estimate, see your recent work, or order ahead. The counter version can also ask customers for an honest review. $150 for the page, plus printing, which you pay the print shop directly.
Ask about QR codesThe sign shows a made-up business. Its QR code is decorative and won't scan.
Questions
$500 plus Texas sales tax for my first 3 website clients. Texas taxes website work on 80% of the price, so for a Waco business the tax is $33 and you pay $533. After that it's $900 for clients 4 and 5, then $1,200, plus tax. Your domain is usually $10–25 a year, paid by you. Hosting is $0 on the free plan I set up in your own account. The $49/month care plan is optional. Every invoice shows the tax on its own line.
You see a free mockup before you pay anything, and you pay the second half only after you approve the finished site. Two rounds of changes are included, and nothing goes live until you say so.
It shouldn't, and I'll protect it. Your Google listing, reviews and phone number stay as they are; nothing on your listing changes without your OK. Before launch I write down your current pages and set up redirects so old links still work, and after launch I check that Google can reach the new site.
Usually, yes. I'll help you find out where your domain is registered and walk you through getting it into your own name, so you're never stuck again.
Yes. That's a fine place to start. I'll turn what's on your page into a real website that works as your link in bio, keep your pages linked, and set up your Google listing so people can find you outside social media.
Your hours on Google, yes, anytime; I'll show you how. For the website, most owners just text me the change, which the optional care plan covers. If you'd rather edit the site yourself, tell me up front and I'll quote setting it up that way.
I plan for about three weeks from photo day, as long as you can get me feedback within 3 business days each round. You'll see a first draft about a week after photo day. I schedule around exam weeks and give you a launch date in writing before you pay anything.
I set things up so you never depend on me. Your domain, hosting and Google listing are in your name from day one, the site is built on standard tools any web developer can work with, and you get a one-page owner's manual. During school breaks I still answer texts and email, and I'll tell you up front if a photo day has to wait until I'm back in Waco. If I ever wind down the business, you'll get at least 60 days' notice and a full handoff at no charge. That's in our contract.
No. Nobody can honestly promise that. What I do is set up the things that matter for local search: a complete Google Business Profile, a fast site that works on phones, and your services and service area written clearly.
