Affordable website design for businesses on the way up.
The Launch program is our way of giving back and supporting new business owners. When we have room, we select a new business and build it a custom website, the kind that often costs $6,500 or more, for $1,500. Spots are limited, and some months there are none.

What’s included
What a Launch site includes.
Every Launch site comes with all seven. Pick one to see it work.
A template layout is replaced by a custom design built for the business.
Placeholder text is struck out and replaced by a real headline.
A desktop page narrows into a phone and its sections stack, with a call button at the bottom.
A search result for the business, with its title, description, and sitemap marked.
A visitor count and a chart of visits over the last 30 days, with the top pages.
A visitor fills in the contact form and an enquiry email arrives in the inbox.
The address bar shows the business domain, the site goes live, and the rocket lifts off.
The same work as full price
A Launch site isn't an entry-level package. It gets the same design and attention to detail as our full-price sites. We agree on the scope together on the planning call. Your domain name is billed separately.
Launch care, $50 a month
Hosting, security, backups, and updates. Content changes aren't included; our $100 care plan adds 30 minutes of them each month. Plans renew automatically.

Launch program questions
What is the Launch program?
Our way of giving back and supporting new business owners: affordable custom website design for new businesses. When we have room, we select a new business and build it a custom website for $1,500, the kind of site that often costs $6,500 or more. Launch care hosting is $50 a month.
How much does a website cost for a startup or new small business?
Small business website cost depends on who builds it: a custom site typically costs $3,000 to $20,000 from an agency. Our Essential website starts at $3,500. New businesses selected for the Launch program get a custom site for $1,500, plus $50 a month for Launch care. What a startup website needs
How do you choose who gets selected?
We look for new, owner-run businesses we can genuinely help at the start: open less than two years or about to open, a small team, no franchises, and ready to share photos and a logo. We also need a spot to be open. Some months there are none.
Do you write the copy?
Yes. You tell us about the business and what makes it yours, and we write the words with you. Nobody knows your customers better than you do, so your input shapes every page.
How big can the site be?
There's no set page count. We agree on the scope together on the planning call.
Is a Launch site a smaller or simpler package?
No. It isn't an entry-level package. A Launch site gets the same custom design, the same care, and the same attention to detail as our Essential and custom builds. The difference is who it's for: new businesses we select.
Is the Launch program only for Houston businesses?
No. We're based in Houston, and the program is open to new businesses anywhere in the US. We work by phone, email, and video call. Affordable website design in Houston

Hosting, security, backups, and updates for $50 a month. It's required for Launch sites. Content changes aren't included; when you want them, you can move up to our $100 care plan, which includes 30 minutes of changes each month.
