Business or hobby, tell us what you want and we build the whole thing at no cost. See it finished, click through it, show it to whoever you like. Love it? Keep it starting at $180 a year. Don't? Walk away and owe nothing.
Websites that look like
someone actually built them.
Fully custom code. No page-builder bloat.
No, really — what's the catch
We're betting that once you see your finished website, you'll want to keep it. That's the whole model. Here it is in three lines, with nothing in the small print that isn't also up here.
How it works
No calls to sit through, no proposal PDF, no sales pipeline.
Fill in the intake form. It takes about ten minutes and asks everything we need to start building.
We read it properly and come back to you with questions, ideas, and whether we're the right fit. No charge, no obligation.
The whole site, custom-coded to your description, usually within seven days. You get a private link to click through.
Love it? Pick a plan and it goes live on your domain. Don't? Say so and we part as friends. You're never invoiced.

Our work
Not just a brochure site. Class catalogue, online enrolment, card payments, a family portal with per-student paperwork, an instructor dashboard with attendance and rosters, and an admin back office. Built and running on the same stack we'd use for you.

DIY figures are annual-billing prices for the tier a small business actually needs — Wix Light $204/yr, Squarespace Basic ~$192/yr, Webflow Basic $180/yr, Wix Business $468/yr — and go higher if you pay monthly or add ecommerce apps. "$0 down" services are the published rates of comparable providers. Everyone's prices change; check theirs before you decide.
A salon, studio or clinic running online booking today is typically paying for scheduling software and a website, separately:
Pro is $100 a month for the booking, the payments, the customer accounts, the staff dashboard and the custom-built website they all sit on.
Questions
Because writing a proposal for someone who hasn't seen our work is a waste of both our time. It's faster to just build the thing. We're betting that a finished website you can click through sells itself better than any pitch — and if we're wrong about your project, we'd rather find out having spent a few days than having taken your deposit.
You tell us, and that's the end of it. No invoice, no cancellation fee, no awkward follow-ups. The site was never live and nothing was ever charged.
The site comes offline at the end of your paid term. That's the honest answer, and it's the same answer everyone in this business has — most just don't put it on their homepage.
What makes it fair: your domain is registered in your name, so it stays yours. Ask and we'll send you a zip of your site's text, images and any customer data it collected, in open formats, within 10 business days. We keep it for 30 days after your term ends, then delete it. You are never locked out of your own material.
You own your domain, your brand and all your content, outright and from day one. We maintain the code we wrote, the same way a software company maintains its software. If you'd rather own the source code as well, ask — we'll quote a one-time buyout instead of a plan.
Usually about seven days from the point we've agreed the scope and have your content — waiting on photos and copy is the commonest reason a build runs long, and that half is yours to control. A five-page site can be faster.
Pro is built in two stages. The website itself is free and ready to look at in about seven days, same as any other plan. The machinery — booking, accounts, payments, your dashboard — starts once you're on the plan, and we tell you the timeline before it begins, usually two to four weeks. You still see a finished website before you pay anything.
One email containing any number of small changes to existing pages, done together — up to about half an hour of work. New prices, new staff, new opening hours, a paragraph reworded, a photo swapped: send them in one message and that's one request.
Your allowance runs by the year rather than the month, so you can save them up: 4 a year on Hobby, 12 on Business, 24 on Pro. Anything bigger — a whole new section, a redesign — we quote before starting, so you never get a surprise bill.
Good problem. Ordinary visitors reading your pages never cost you anything — that's unlimited on every plan.
What can eventually cost money is volume on the working parts: roughly more than 10,000 form submissions, bookings or customer logins a month, more than 3,000 automated emails a month, or more than 5 GB of stored files and data. Those are generous, and most businesses use a small fraction.
If you did pass them, we show you the provider's own bill and pass it through at cost, adding nothing. We tell you before anything is charged, never after, and you decide whether to pay it or change how the site works. Full detail on the pricing page ›
Any legal business or hobby. Every request is read personally, and we do turn work down — if we can't do a good job on it, or can't stand behind it, we'll say so rather than take it on.
Yes. Everything runs through the intake form and email, so we work with people anywhere and you never have to be free at a particular hour to talk to us.
Freedom35Studios LLC. Small on purpose. You deal with the same person from the first message to the last, which is why nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Ten minutes on the form. A real reply from a real person. A finished website about a week later.
