Hill Country
Hand-built websites · Hosting · Upkeep
Your work is good. Your website should say so.
I build fast, hand-made websites for Hill Country businesses, then host them and keep them up to date, so the site never quietly falls behind. No templates, no page-builders, and someone local when you need a change.
- I look at your current site and what it's missing
- I build a sample of your homepage
- You see it on your own phone
- You get a written price, before any work starts
Built before the first conversation.
Concept sites I made for local businesses to show their owners what's possible. They weren't commissioned. They're here so you can judge the work instead of taking my word for it.
Level 01 · Website and hosting
A build fee, then a monthly plan that keeps it looked after.

Something more involved
Payments, bookings tied into your systems, or anything that needs more than a marketing site.
- Scoped in writing first
- Quoted per project
Prices are starting points. The firm number is in writing before any work starts.
The monthly plan covers hosting, the security certificate, uptime checks and small changes like hours, prices and photos. New pages or a redesign are quoted separately.
Monthly plans run for twelve months. Part of the build fee is due at signing and the rest before launch.
You own the finished site, and your domain and email stay in your name.
How it stacks up against your other options.
Pick the kind of business you run. Not always the cheapest, but you own what you pay for, and someone local looks after it.
Cafe or restaurant
Trade or home service
Practice or office
Market figures are typical published ranges for 2026 and vary a lot from one provider to the next. Ranch Road prices are starting points. The firm number is in writing before any work starts.
Local businesses whose work is better than their website.
Restaurants and shops
Cafes, taprooms, kitchens, boutiques. People want the menu, the hours and the way to order, on their phone, in about ten seconds.
Trades and home services
Roofing, HVAC, electrical, landscaping, tree work. Big jobs, and out-of-town franchises showing up above you in search.
Practices and offices
Dental, veterinary, law, accounting. A first impression that matches the care you put into the work.
When it's more than the website.
Some businesses need the network, the computers and the backups looked after too. That work is done by my IT and security partner, and I'll bring them in when it's the right fit.
Somebody watching it
Everything in Level 01, plus the day to day. Machines patched, network watched, and one number that gets answered.
- Network monitoring and upkeep
- Computers patched and tracked
- Backups tested, not assumed
- One number when it breaks
Locked down, and useful
Everything in Level 02, plus proper hardening and, if you want it, an AI assistant running on hardware you own.
- Hardening and access control
- Written review on a schedule
- Records of who can reach what
- On-site AI, data stays put
Quoted after a visit, based on how many people you have.
Every office is different, so there's no price list for this part. You get a setup fee and a monthly amount, in writing, after someone has seen what's actually there.
On private AI, the honest version: keeping data in your office is not automatically safer than the cloud. What you're buying is control, and a setup you can defend on paper.
You see it before you pay for it.
A phone call
Fifteen minutes. What you do, who your customers are, and what your site should be doing for you.
A sample
I build a first look at your homepage and send you the link. No charge, no obligation.
A written quote
What's included, how long it takes, and the price. On paper, before any work starts.
Launch and upkeep
Live in about two weeks for most sites. Then someone who already knows your site makes the changes.
Tell me about your business.
If your current site is doing its job, I'll say so. That's a shorter call, and it costs you nothing.
