You pay. We build. We look after it.

A business already open pays to launch, then pays again when the hours are wrong and the form is dead. Here’s how we do it instead.

01 / Pay

Your first payment starts the work. After that, it’s the same amount each month.

02 / Build

You fill in a short brief. We make the design calls and send a draft on a private link. One round of revisions, then it goes live, about two weeks after your brief.

03 / Month

We host it, back it up, and make the changes you send. Higher plans add private site stats, Google listing care, and monthly improvements.

Good to know

You pay by card. The price already includes the card fee, and charges show as gerald.digital or g.d web. Year two costs the same as year one. Full rules are on Terms.

Start and stay

  • The first charge covers the start and your first month
  • To stop, write us 30 days ahead. Months already paid aren’t refunded
  • If we can’t take the work, we refund the first charge in full
  • After you start, you can switch to paying from your bank

Yours

  • The domain
  • Your Google listing login
  • Your photos and words
  • After 12 paid months, a folder of the website files if you cancel

The files, and the limits

  • Sent within 30 days of the last payment
  • It may not work the same on another host. Pictures and forms tied to our setup may be missing
  • On Local, listing care runs until you write to turn it off, even if access was removed

This is not for

  • A business that isn’t open yet
  • Fixing or hosting a website someone else built
  • Online stores with a cart or inventory
  • A full rebrand inside the monthly updates
  • A free review of your current website

Questions

When does work start?

As soon as your first payment goes through. Then you fill in a short brief, and we reply the same day or the next business day with how to give us access to your domain, with no passwords. Plan on about two weeks to go live once we have the brief and your photos, then the monthly updates begin.

Do I get a say in the design?

Yes, up front. In your brief, send your logo, your colors, photos, and a site or two you like. Then we make the design calls. You get one round of revisions on the first draft. That’s how it stays fast.

Do you only work in Maine?

No. We’re based in Augusta, Maine and take work anywhere, on the same plans. For clients within about two hours’ drive, we come by when a visit helps the work. Visits are for clients, not sales calls, so new work starts on the form.

What if Oversight is too much for my business?

Tell us. Pick Custom on the form and say what you need. We’ll write back with what fits a business your size.

How do I cancel?

Write us at least 30 days before you want service to end. It ends at the close of the paid period after that, and months already paid aren’t refunded. After 12 paid months, you can ask for a folder of the website files.

Card or bank?

You start on a card, and the price already covers the card fee. After you start, you can switch to paying from your bank. We don’t send invoices.

What if a payment misses?

Thirty days past due, the live website becomes a construction page with your contact info. Fifteen days after that with no payment, it comes down. Cards expire, so ask about bank debit if you want fewer gaps.

What is not included in the monthly updates?

A new page structure, a rebrand, a full redesign, or an online store. A big rebrand can be phased in or done as one flat-priced overhaul under Custom.

Can I ask a question first?

Yes. The form below is the fastest way to reach us. Pick Custom and ask in the notes. The mail button works too.

Start here

Pick a plan and the next page is payment. We work best with businesses that are already open, but anyone who wants the service is welcome.

Sending this doesn’t charge anything. Your domain stays in your name.
