Websites & Ordering · HonoluluA fast, mobile-first site for a Honolulu business, designed and built for you rather than assembled from a template. I work with owners across Oahu, I answer across the time difference, and I publish the price: one number to build it, one number a month to keep it running.
Or call and talk it through: (305) 215-6132Designed and built for your business, one time.
The same price in every city I work in. It can be bought on its own or folded into a monthly plan — the pricing page builds any combination and shows the total before you commit.
Hawaii businesses have a website problem that mainland businesses do not: a large share of your customers read your site before they get on a plane. Somebody in Seattle or Osaka is deciding, three weeks out, whether to book you — and they are doing it entirely from what is on the screen, with no chance to walk past and look in the window.
That raises the bar on the things owners tend to skip. Real photos of the actual place, because a stock image reads as a chain. Hours and location stated in a way that makes sense to somebody who does not know the island. Prices, or at least honest ranges, because a visitor comparing four options will drop the one that will not say. And a page that loads on a hotel connection.
The other thing about doing business here is cost. Hawaii is an expensive place to run anything, and a website quoted at 'let's discuss' is a website you cannot budget for. That is most of the reason I publish a fixed price rather than a proposal.
Menu, hours and a way to order without a marketplace taking a cut of every ticket.
Read morePhotographs of real work and a booking path, because nobody picks a stylist from a paragraph.
Read moreWhat you stock, what it costs and whether you are open right now — the three things a phone search is actually asking.
Read moreThe question that loses you the job is 'do you come out to my area'. That gets answered on the first screen, not on a contact page.
Read moreCredibility does the selling here: who you are, what you handle, and what happens on the first call.
Read moreI work with Honolulu businesses on Honolulu hours. You should not be scheduling your day around a mainland office.
For photography and for the first conversation, in person is better. The rest runs on video calls.
Half your audience may be looking at this from another time zone entirely, so the site is written for somebody who has never been to your street.
What the business does, who it sells to, and what the site has to make happen. If a website is not your problem I will say so.
Photos, services, prices, hours. Where you do not have something, I tell you what would help and what we can do without.
You see it before anyone else does, and we change what you want changed.
Domain pointed, Google profile connected, and from then on you email me when something needs changing.
$1,000+/mo once the build is amortized
The usual shape: a project fee up front, then a retainer that covers the site and the search work together.
Cheaper, and it is yours to run
Genuinely fine if you enjoy it and have the evenings. Most owners buy one, build four pages, and never open it again.
$750 up front, then $99/mo
Built for you, hosted and maintained, and you email me when something needs changing.
Figures are typical market ranges shown for illustration, not quotes from named providers. Many vendors price by seat, contact or location and keep pricing behind a sales call.
The other two are the phone and the map. A site that converts is worth more when your Google profile is actually sending people to it, and worth more again when somebody answers when they call. You do not have to buy all three, and I will tell you which one Honolulu businesses like yours usually need first.
Mine is $750 up front, then $99/mo, published, and it does not change because you are on an island. That is deliberate: quoting Hawaii businesses more because everything else here costs more is a habit I would rather not have.
Yes — across Oahu, the neighbor islands, and the mainland. I also work in Miami and Houston.
That is most of the work here. It usually means the same site has to answer a regular who knows exactly what they want and a first-time visitor who does not know what any of it is, without patronizing either.
Hosting, SSL, backups, security updates, uptime monitoring, and ongoing edits. If you need a price changed, a photo swapped, a page added or your hours updated, you email me and I do it.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name and the site is yours.
Typically a couple of weeks from the point I have your content, photos and details. What sets the pace is usually how quickly the business can get me its material, not the build.
Not on this. Growth, marketing and website services — including the website care plan — are month-to-month with no long-term commitment, and you can prepay annually for up to two months free. Payment processing is a separate thing: it is a merchant account and it has its own terms, which I go over with you personally on the free review so everything is clear before you decide.
Yes, any month. There is no cancellation fee and no notice period to argue about on the month-to-month services — I would rather earn the next month than hold you to a term you regret. If you cancel a website plan the domain is yours, registered in your name, and you can take the site elsewhere.
The Growth Audit is free and takes about two minutes to request. I look at what you have now and tell you straight what would move the needle first -- and what would not.
Prefer to talk now? Call or text (305) 215-6132I work with owners in this city and across all 50 states; meetings are held in person where practical and by video otherwise. Local tax and surcharge details are summarized for orientation and change over time -- confirm current rules for your own situation. Individual results vary.
