I just want it to work.
every small business owner, eventually
You've wasted hours fighting with “easy” website builders. You've lost passwords to domain accounts. You have a nephew who “knows computers” but ghosted you.
You just want a site that looks great and brings in customers.
No risk · no deposit
You see it before you pay.
Agencies and marketers want a big check before they lift a finger. I do it backwards. You get the finished work, free, and decide from there.
A real working demo
A working version of your actual site, built before you owe a thing. Not a mockup, not a pitch deck.
A free SEO audit
A plain-English check of your current site: what's helping, what's hurting, and the exact fixes. Yours to keep.
$0 upfront
No deposit. No contract. You look at the finished work, then decide. That simple.
The Process

Pricing
Three ways to work together.
Whichever you pick, I build your site free. You only ever pay to keep it live and handled. Every plan is all-inclusive and month-to-month, with no setup fees, no contracts, and no surprise charges.
Starter
A single, polished page for businesses that don't need more. One page, handled.
All-inclusive · Cancel anytime · No setup fee
Get started- A custom one-page site, designed around your business. Never a template.
- Your own domain. Keep the one you have, or I'll get you a new one. Either way it stays yours.
- Branded email forwarding (hello@yourbusiness.com), set up free.
- Hosting, SSL, security, and backups. Always on.
- Local SEO basics and your Google Business Profile.
- One content update a month. New hours, a photo, a price.
Hosted
A complete, multi-page site for a business with more to show. Everything a small business needs.
All-inclusive · Cancel anytime · No setup fee
Get startedEverything in Starter, plus:
- A complete, multi-page site. Pages for your services, menu, gallery, story, whatever fits.
- More room in search. Every page is another way to be found on Google.
- Built to grow with you as you add more.
Partner
For businesses that are always changing. New offers, classes, seasonal pushes.
All-inclusive · Cancel anytime · No setup fee
Let's talk about your websiteEverything in Hosted, plus:
- Unlimited changes, made fast. Just text me, usually live the same day.
- New pages and landing pages for promotions and campaigns.
- Proactive ideas to bring in more customers.
- Priority turnaround when you need something now.
But aren't website builders cheaper?
Not really. The do-it-yourself builders run about $40 a month, the same as Starter. Then you spend a Saturday setting it up, wrestle with professional email (or give up and use Gmail), and fumble through the editor every time something needs to change.
A website builder gives you software. SiteHandled gives you a person.
Why SiteHandled exists
You work directly with me. That's the whole idea.
I've spent 20+ years building software and leading engineering teams. Most small business owners don't need another website platform to learn. They need someone they can trust to handle the website side of their business.
So that's what I do. No account managers. No ticket systems. No agency in the middle. When you need something changed, you text the person who built your site, and it gets done.
César, founder
A real client
Pachis art studio, live and handled.
An outdoor art studio in San Diego. I rebuilt their site from scratch, set up their domain and email, and I host and maintain it today. New workshop to announce? They text me, and it's live the same day.
That's what “handled” actually looks like. A real business, a real site, one person on the other end.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Do I really see it before I pay?
Yes. I build a real, working demo of your site before you owe anything, and I send you a free SEO audit of your current one. You decide once you've seen the actual work.
How long does it take to get my site?
Most sites go live within 1 to 2 weeks. You'll have a draft to look at within a week of our first call, and we launch once you're happy with it.
Do I own my website?
Your domain is yours, and so is your content, your text and your photos. The website itself is part of the monthly service, the way any hosted platform works, so it stays live as long as you're a member. No contract and no lock-in. Leave whenever you like and I'll hand over your domain and content.
Can I leave anytime?
Yes. It's month-to-month, with no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees.
What if I already have a website?
We start fresh. Every site I build is custom from the ground up, not a patched-up template from a DIY builder. Your old one can stay live until the new one launches.
Do you help with SEO?
Yes. Every build follows an SEO checklist, basic local SEO and your Google Business Profile are included, and I'll audit your current site for free before you even sign on.
What about email?
Branded forwarding is included free. Messages to hello@yourbusiness.com land in the inbox you already check. Want a full mailbox you log into and send from, with the Gmail you already know? I'll set up managed Google email for $10 a month per address, with unlimited aliases, and I handle the setup and upkeep.
Let's get your site handled.
A 15-minute call. No pressure, no jargon, no sales script. If we're a fit, I'll have a draft of your site, and a free audit of your current one, to look at within a week.
