A website isn't a brochure you print once. It's a living part of your business.

Everything your website needs to do its job.

A good-looking site isn't enough. It has to be found, make it easy to get in touch, and stay current.

Payments and donations, without a store.

Take deposits, sell event tickets, or accept donations through secure checkout links, so card details never touch your website. We don't build online stores, which keeps your site simpler, faster, and safer.

From first call to launch, and beyond.

Most small business websites go from first conversation to launch in about four to six weeks. Then the real work begins: keeping it alive.

  1. Week 1

    Plan

    We learn your business, your customers, and what they search for, then agree on the pages, the goals, and a launch date.

  2. Weeks 2–3

    Write and design

    We draft the words and design the home page first. You review both, and we refine them before building the rest.

  3. Weeks 4–5

    Build and test

    Every page is built, checked on phones and computers, and tested for speed and forms.

  4. Launch

    Go live without losing ground

    We point your old page addresses to the new ones so you keep the rankings you've earned.

  5. Every month

    Keep it alive

    Fresh content, updates, security, and the small edits you send our way.

  6. Every quarter

    Report and improve

    How people found you, which pages they used, and the one or two changes that will help most.

A website is never finished.

Most small business websites launch and then sit still. Hours change, services grow, photos age, and the site quietly falls behind the business. Search engines and AI assistants favor businesses that show signs of life, so a site that stands still slowly fades from view.

We keep yours alive. Every month, something gets better.

Straight answers.

How much does a small business website cost in New Hampshire?

Custom small business websites on the Seacoast commonly run a few thousand dollars up front, plus hosting and care. LEAP WORKS websites start at $249 a month with no large up-front cost.

How long does it take to build a website?

About four to six weeks for most small business sites. The biggest factor is how quickly we can agree on the words, so we write the first draft for you.

Should I use Wix or Squarespace instead?

If you have time to write, design, and keep a site current yourself, those tools can work. Most owners we talk to don't, and their site slowly goes stale. A website isn't something you finish; it needs tending.

Is hosting included?

Yes. Every plan includes fast, secure hosting, security updates, and daily backups. You won't get a separate hosting bill.

Will I lose my Google rankings with a new website?

It shouldn't, if it's done carefully. We map every old page to its new address and watch Google Search Console after launch, fixing anything that slips.

Do you build online stores?

No. We add secure checkout links for deposits, event tickets, limited sales, and donations, but we don't build full online stores.
