A website that brings you calls — and that you own outright.
I build and run websites for plumbers, roofers, electricians and HVAC companies around the upper Snake River valley. Your domain gets registered to your company, on your card, in your account. If you ever want to work with somebody else, you take all of it and nothing stops working.
Most web guys own your website. I don’t want to.
If you’ve had a website before, there’s a decent chance you don’t actually know who owns the domain, who’s paying for the hosting, or how to get into any of it. That’s how a lot of this industry works.
So I do it the other way round. Every account goes in your name, on your card, from day one. I get working access so I can do the job. You can take that access away yourself, without calling me, whenever you like.
It’s not a promise in an email. It goes in the written agreement you sign before any work starts — and you can read it before you hire anyone, including me.

The ownership clause · signed before any work starts
“Agency shall not withhold, disable, or refuse to release Client’s preexisting domain registration, business email, or customer and lead data as leverage in any dispute, including a payment dispute.”
Three sites, built and live. Open them on your phone.
I am just starting out here, so I’m not going to show you a wall of logos I don’t have. These are real, working sites I built to show what I do — the businesses are fictional and labelled as demonstrations. Poke around, load them on 4G, fill in a form.

Once I’ve done work for real businesses here, this section becomes their sites and their words. Not before.
Real prices. The whole number, up front.
Fixed price for the build, then a flat monthly fee to keep it running. No hourly surprises, and nothing starts until you’ve signed something with the number on it.

- 2 days
Free audit
I look at your site, your Google listing and how you show up in search, and send you three specific things that are costing you calls. No obligation, and no scare tactics — if your site is fine I’ll say so.
- 1 week
Blueprint · $400
A paid working session. We map out the pages, decide what goes on each one, sort out your domain and email while we’re on the call, and I hand you a fixed quote. If you go ahead, the $400 comes off the build.
- 1 week
Pick a look, send me your stuff
You choose from three finished designs rather than reviewing sketches. I need photos, your license details and your service list — that’s the part that holds jobs up, so I chase you for it.
- 2–3 weeks
Build and review
I build it on a private link. You get a week to go through it and tell me what’s wrong. Then a few days to confirm the fixes. You sign off on every claim about your business before anything goes live.
- Launch day
Launch and keep running
I back up whatever’s there now, move the domain across carefully so your email keeps working, and watch it for three days. Then I hand you a written record of every account and who owns it.
Things I won’t do
Worth knowing before you spend money, and worth asking whoever else you’re talking to.
Own your domain
It goes in your company’s name at the start. Not mine, not “temporarily” mine.
Promise you a Google ranking
Nobody controls Google. Anyone who guarantees position one is guessing or lying.
Make claims up about you
Years in business, licences, guarantees, reviews — you confirm every one in writing before it goes live.
Call every click a lead
Your report shows quote requests and phone calls. Not page views dressed up as customers.
Lock you into a long contract
Three months on the monthly, then cancel whenever with 30 days’ notice.
Hold anything hostage
If we part ways, you keep everything and I remove my own access. It’s in the agreement you sign before we start.
Find out what’s costing you calls.
Give me your website and I’ll send you three specific problems, what each one is likely costing you, and what fixing it involves. Written by a person, about your actual site. Two working days.
- No phone button on mobile. Most of your visitors are on a phone and have to pinch-zoom to find your number.
- Contact form doesn’t deliver. A test submission goes in; nothing arrives.
- Google listing has no hours or service area. You’re not showing up in the map results for the next town over.
The findings in a real audit are things I actually checked, not a template.
It’s me. That’s the whole company.
I’m Alex Hair — and yes, Hair is my actual last name, which is where the company name comes from. I build software for a living, and I do this for trade businesses around Idaho Falls. Send the form above and I reply the same business day.
There’s no account manager and no team page with stock photos on it. That’s a limitation and it’s also the point: you’ll always know exactly who is responsible for your website.
