// Section 01The Argument
There's a better way to build for small business.
Most small-business websites rely on a CMS, a handful of plugins, and shared hosting. That stack works, but it comes with trade-offs in speed, security, and upkeep. We offer a leaner alternative.
The CMS Approach↓
3–10 second loads.
Themes and third-party scripts add up. Page weight grows, load times climb, and Core Web Vitals suffer. That affects how Google ranks you.
Capital City Computing↓
Sub-second. Every page.
Static HTML. No render-blocking overhead. Your homepage paints in under a second. Most CMS-powered sites are still finishing their handshake.
Plugin Dependencies↓
More moving parts, more risk.
Every plugin adds a dependency you have to update and trust. The more third-party code in the stack, the larger the surface area for security issues and compatibility breaks.
Capital City Computing↓
Static. Minimal surface area.
No database, no admin panel, no plugin stack to maintain. A flat HTML file served read-only from a CDN keeps the attack surface about as small as the web allows.
Ongoing Upkeep↓
Upkeep that never stops.
A CMS has to be kept patched, its plugins updated and renewed, its breakages fixed. That work runs as long as the site does, paid either in monthly fees or in your own time, and skipping it is how sites get hacked.
Capital City Computing↓
$45/month to run.
A static site has no plugin stack or patch treadmill, so there's less to maintain and less to break. Care stays a flat monthly price with no per-change surprises, and you can own the code outright and host it anywhere.

// Section 03Pricing
One clear build price. Care plans only if you want it.
Buy your site once, then add hosting and content-edit plans by the month, or don't. Because it's static, there's far less to maintain, so it runs a little leaner than a comparable WordPress site.

Need WordPress instead?
Static is what we recommend, and the pricing above is built for it. WordPress needs constant security updates, patching, and backups that static sites don't — so it's priced on its own. Static hosting is $45/mo; WordPress is $69/mo, because WordPress needs the extra security work. That extra upkeep is exactly why we build static whenever we can. And you don't need WordPress just to blog — we build fast static blogs with Eleventy (11ty), updated through your care plan.

// Risk Reversal
If it isn't faster, you don't pay. Plain English.
On launch day, we benchmark your new site against your old one: load time, mobile performance, and Core Web Vitals. If our build doesn't beat your previous site across the board, your first three months are free. We've never had to write that check, but the offer's on the table every time.

// Section 04Common Questions
The catch, spelled out.
Most of these are the same questions every cautious business owner asks before they sign anything. Here are the honest answers.
What if I want to cancel? +
Email us — care plans are month-to-month, so cancel any time with 30 days' notice. Payments already made aren't refunded and the current month isn't pro-rated. Because your domain was always registered to you, there's nothing for us to transfer back: we hand off DNS (release our managed Cloudflare or revoke any delegated access) and waive any future fees. Your site is hosted and managed by us; if you'd like to take the source code and host it yourself, just ask and we'll quote a buyout. When you cancel, the hosted site comes down, but your domain and content always remain yours. No awkward retention call.
Can you build a WordPress site if I need one? +
Yes. If your business genuinely requires a CMS — multiple authors, frequent self-service publishing, a plugin ecosystem — we build a custom WordPress theme, from $750. WordPress is priced on its own because it needs ongoing security updates, patching, and backups that static sites don't: WordPress care runs $69/month versus $45 for static. For most small businesses we strongly recommend static: faster, cheaper to run, and a smaller attack surface. We'll give you an honest assessment of which fits.
I already have a website. Should I switch? +
Maybe, and we'll be honest about it. If your current site is fast, easy to update, and bringing in customers, keep it. If it's slow, a headache to change, or quietly costing you leads, a rebuild usually pays for itself. Send us the link and we'll give you a straight, no-obligation assessment.
How much does a website cost in Tallahassee? +
A custom static site is $750 for 5 pages or $1,500 for up to 15. Then care is optional and monthly. For static sites, care runs $45 to host, $119 bundled with content edits, or $229 for unlimited, a little less than a comparable WordPress site costs to host and maintain, with far less upkeep. Running WordPress instead? It has its own care plans, from $69/month. Prefer to own the code and host it yourself? Just ask and we'll quote a buyout.
How long does it take to build the site? +
Three to four weeks for a standard five-page site, once we have your content and approvals. Free discovery call up front, three design directions in week one, daily staging links through the build, DNS cutover in the final week. Most of the timeline is design rounds and your sign-off, so it moves as fast as your feedback does. You get the launch date in writing before anything is signed.
