See your website
before you pay for it.
We build premium AI websites for local businesses — and a lead team that finds you new customers. It starts with a real, working preview of your site, free. Love it? It's $730 once and it's yours. Don't? You owe us nothing.
you walk into.
A site that opens like your front door — built around what you actually sell.
Book a Viewing
Template sites, built for your customisation.
Open any template and look around. Heart the sections you want and we'll build your site from your picks — so it ends up feeling like something you made, not something you were handed.
Everything, for one price.
No tiers to decode, no "that's extra" halfway through the build. This is the whole thing.
You own it outright
The design, the code, the domain — all in your name from day one. We don't hold anything hostage, and you're never locked into us to make a change.
Built to load fast
Hand-built, not stacked with page-builder bloat. Fast pages keep people from bouncing and give you a real shot at ranking.
Designed for phones first
Most people who find you are on a phone in a parking lot. Your site is built for that screen first, then scaled up — not the other way around.
Made to get you called
Click-to-call, a contact form that actually sends, your hours, your service area, your reviews. Every page points at one thing: getting them to reach you.
Set up to be found
Titles, descriptions, headings, alt text, and a clean structure Google can read — done properly at build time instead of sold back to you later.
Written for you
We write the copy from what you tell us about the business. No lorem ipsum, no generic filler you have to rewrite yourself.
Three steps. About a week.
Tell us about the business
Fill out the form below, or just send us your Instagram. We work from what's already there — your photos, your services, your voice — so you're not writing a brief from scratch.
We build your preview — free
You get a live link to a real, working site. Not a flat mockup, not a slideshow. Open it on your phone, click through it, show it to whoever you want. You've paid nothing at this point.
Keep it, or walk
Love it? $730 and it goes live on your domain, fully yours. Not for you? No charge, no hard feelings, no follow-up emails for a year.
One payment. That's it.
No deposits that grow, no scope creep, no surprise invoice at launch.
One time. You own it forever. And you see it before you pay.
$730 covers the standard build below. Need more — extra pages, online booking, a store? We tell you the price before we build it, never after.
- Free working preview first
- Custom design — never a template
- Copy written for your business
- Mobile-first, fast-loading build
- Contact form + click-to-call
- On-page SEO set up properly
- Google Maps + hours + service area
- Launched on your own domain
- Full handover — code and all
Every so often we pick a build to feature — a business we're proud to put our name next to. Featured builds get showcased on our Work page, before and after, and get first access to our new AI plugins.
It's not something you can buy. Your price doesn't change either way — if we invite you, you can say yes or no.
Nothing is due until you've seen your site and said yes. After that, you'll pay for a domain (about $12–15 a year) and hosting directly, at cost — we don't mark those up or resell them to you.
Want customers, not just a website?
Our lead team finds the businesses in your area worth calling and gets them ready for you. Three tiers — pick how far we take it, then you take over.
What one payment actually looks like
Three years out, the monthly options have quietly cost more.
| The Tide Effect | DIY builder | Typical agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| See it before you pay | Yes — free preview | No | Rarely |
| Build / setup | $730 once | Free (you build it) | $2,000–8,000 |
| Monthly fee | $0 | $16–49/mo | $100–300/mo |
| Designed by a person | Yes | No — you are the designer | Yes |
| Your time to build it | None | 20–40 hours | None |
| You own the code | Yes | No — platform locked | Sometimes |
| Time to launch | About a week | However long you take | 4–8 weeks |
DIY and agency figures are typical published market ranges, not quotes from any specific company. Your mileage will vary.
The honest answers.
There isn't one. We build you a real, working site and send you a live link. You look at it, click through it, show it to anyone you like. If you want it, it's $730 and we launch it on your domain. If you don't, you don't pay and we go our separate ways. We do it this way because it's a lot easier than trying to convince you with a sales call.
For the standard build, yes. One payment for the design, the copy, the build and the launch. If you want more than the standard build — extra pages, online booking, a store — we price it before we start, never after. The only things you'll pay for after that are your domain (about $12–15 a year) and hosting, both paid directly by you at cost. We don't add a markup and we don't bill you monthly.
Now and then we invite a business to be a Featured Build. Their site, before and after, goes on our Work page, and they get first access to our new AI plugins. It's by invitation only — it can't be bought, and it doesn't change your price. Most builds aren't featured, and that's normal.
Two reasons, and neither is a catch. We build on a system we've refined, so the same quality takes days instead of weeks — that's real efficiency, not corner-cutting. And we're building our portfolio right now, so the price reflects where we are, not where we'll be. It will go up.
Yes — we call them AI plugins. Automations are live now: a lead engine that finds businesses worth calling, scores them and hands you a call list. Agents (front desk, follow-up) are coming next. None of it is required to get a site, and you can get a plugin without a site too.
Less than you'd think. Your business name, what you do, where you serve, how people should reach you, and any photos you have. If you've got an active Instagram, we can usually work straight from that. If you don't have photos, we design around it.
Completely. The domain is registered in your name, the code is handed to you, and nothing switches off if you stop talking to us. If you want another developer to take it over next year, they can — it's clean, standard code, not a proprietary builder.
Small changes during the build are part of the price — we go back and forth until it's right. After launch, you can either update it yourself (we hand over everything) or come back to us and we'll quote the work. There's no forced maintenance plan.
About a week from the point where we have your details and photos. The slowest part is usually waiting on content from your side, so the more you send up front, the faster it goes.
No. Those happen to be the first builds in our portfolio, but the process is the same for restaurants, salons, contractors, gyms, med spas — any local business. We adapt the design to your industry, not the other way around.
Tell us about your business.
Drop your Instagram or your current site and we'll start building your preview before we ever get on a call. A real reply from a real person within a day. Nothing due unless you love it.
Got it.
We'll take a look at your business and come back to you shortly with what we'd build.
