West Michigan Web Co.

Grand Rapids · Muskegon · The Lakeshore

Built in two weeks. And you own it.

Websites for West Michigan businesses that get hired by being found. Fixed price, no monthly contract, everything in your name.

You own it
Domain, hosting and the site itself are on your accounts, in your name. Leave whenever you want and take all of it with you. I'll help you move it.
Two weeks
Most sites go live in two to three weeks. You get the launch date in writing, before you pay a deposit — not a vague "sometime this spring."
One phone
You call me. Not an account manager, not a contractor overseas. Same number during the project and two years after it.
Fixed price
The number in the quote is the number on the invoice. Prices are published below so you don't have to sit through a call to find out.
Worth reading before you sign anything

Most monthly website deals keep the website.

The $249-a-month offers around here sound easy right up until you read the cancellation terms. One Kalamazoo shop says it plainly: cancel, and the site goes offline. A Grand Rapids one will hand you your domain and your text, but the site sits on their own platform and can't be moved.

So you cancel after three years and you're starting over from nothing.

$269 a month × 36 months = $9,684 paid
What you can take with you: your domain and your words

I think that's a lousy way to treat someone who runs a business. So: you pay once, the site is yours, and if you ever want to move it I'll hand over the files and help.

Pricing

Published, so you don't have to ask

Care Plan — optional, cancel any time

Updates, backups, security, and up to an hour of changes a month. I answer within two business days. The site stays yours whether you keep this or not.

$95 /mo
Domain, hosting and email are paid directly by you — roughly $30 to $50 a month — and stay in your name. I'll sit on the phone and walk you through setting them up.
Two rounds of revisions included. More after that are $150 each, and I'll warn you before you hit it.
Half up front, half when it goes live.
Connecting your site to scheduling or customer software is usually possible. I'll look at what you already use and quote it separately rather than guess.
Who you're actually hiring

One guy, and he answers the phone

Troy Maurer, owner of West Michigan Web Co.

I'm Troy. I work in freight claims in Grand Rapids and I build software for a brokerage here — the internal system our people use every day. I started taking outside web work because I kept looking at the websites of companies I deal with and thinking someone should fix that.

I'm building my portfolio right now, which is the honest reason these prices are what they are. You get someone who will pick up the phone and who isn't juggling forty accounts. What I can't show you yet is ten years of case studies.

If that trade sounds bad to you, no hard feelings — there are good agencies in town and I'll point you at one.

How it goes

Four steps, no surprises

  1. Twenty minutes on the phone

    What you do, who you want calling you, and what's wrong with what you've got. No charge, no slide deck, and I won't chase you afterward.

  2. A written quote within two days

    Fixed price, what's included, what isn't, and the date it goes live. If there's something I can't do, it says so in writing.

  3. I build it, you look at it twice

    You see the whole thing at a private link before anything goes public. Two rounds of changes are part of the price.

  4. It goes live in your name

    Your domain, your hosting account, your logins. I'll show you where everything lives and how to get to it without calling me.
