SiteByJonah, a Hatsumei Studio service
For local businesses with great reviews and no website

I built your website. It's free for 30 days.

If you got an email from me with a link to a site with your business's name on it, that site is real, it's finished, and it's yours if you want it. Nobody asked me to build it. That's the point.

I find businesses with a lot of five-star Google reviews and nowhere to send people. I build the site from what's already public on the listing, send the link, and let the work speak. Keep it and you pay nothing for 30 days, then $79 a month, nine times, and it's yours. If you don't want it, it deletes itself in a week and I don't write again.

Two kinds of sites, one person

Why yours costs hundreds, not thousands.

The custom kind

Brands, weeks of work, thousands of dollars.

Discovery calls, design rounds, film, copywriting, the lot. That's the work I do at Hatsumei Studio. It's the right thing for a company with a marketing budget and a story to tell.

This kind, yours

Built in a day from your Google listing. Done before you knew about it.

Your reviews, your photos, your hours, your phone number, your city. Fast on a phone, built the way Google likes, on your own domain. No meetings, no proposals, no design rounds. You pay for the part that took skill, not the part that takes time. That's the whole reason it's cheap, and it's not a catch.

How it works

Three steps, and two of them are mine.

You look.

Open the link on your phone. Read it like a customer would. Everything on it came from your public Google listing.

You tap Keep this site.

Pick monthly or once. Monthly is nothing today. Checkout is Stripe, the same one Amazon and Target use. Your card never touches my site.

I put it on your domain.

Have a domain? I send you two records. Don't have one? I register it in your name, first year included. Then your photos and any wording changes go in.

What's included, both ways

Everything a small business site needs. Nothing it doesn't.

  • Your own domain.First year included. Registered in your name, not mine.
  • Hosting, security, backups.On Netlify, one of the biggest hosts there is. If I vanished, your site would still be up.
  • Your real photos and logo.Send them by reply or text. They go in the same week, no charge.
  • Your reviews from Google.Shown the way Google shows them. Any one you'd rather not show comes off.
  • Fast on phones.Most of your customers find you on one. It loads in about a second.
  • A quote form and a tap-to-call button.Every inquiry lands in your inbox with the customer's number.
  • Changes by text.New hours, new price, new service. Text me and it's done.
  • Your files, yours.Nothing is rented from me. Pay once and it's yours today; pay monthly and it's yours after the ninth payment.
The price

Pick the one you'd rather not think about.

Most people take this
$0 todayFree for 30 days. Then $79 a month, nine times, and it's yours.

Nine payments, then it stops and the site is yours. Nine months of care and every change you want are included. Want your own web address right away? Add it for $20 at checkout. Cancel in the first 30 days and you owe nothing. Cancel later and it just comes down.

Or once
$675One time. Yours in full today.

First 30 days of care and changes included. After that $50 a month only if you want me to keep looking after it.

The promise: if it's not better than nothing, say so in the first 30 days and I take it down. Paid up front? Refunded in full. No form, no argument.

The Keep this site button at the top of your preview is where you sign up. Nothing is bought from this page.

Questions people ask before they pay

Straight answers.

Why did you build my site without asking?

Because asking is where good things die. Every business I write to has great reviews and no website, and every one of them meant to get one someday. So I built it. If it's not for you, ignore the email and it disappears. It was never put on Google or shared anywhere.

Is this a scam?

Fair question, you got a link from a stranger. Everything on the site is public: your Google listing, your reviews, and the photos your business uploaded there. I'm one person in Atlanta with a real address in every email, a cell number you can text right now, and a Stripe checkout you can look up. Nothing is charged until you decide.

What does free for 30 days mean?

Pick monthly and nothing is charged today. The banner comes off and the site is yours to use. Your first $79 comes out on day 30, then eight more, then it stops. Cancel inside the 30 days and you owe nothing.

What happens right after I sign up?

You get a receipt from Stripe and a page telling you what happens next. Within the hour you get an email from me. Then the site goes on your domain.

I don't have a domain. Is that a problem?

No. Most people don't. You tell me the name you'd like, I check it's free and register it in your name. First year is included.

Can I change things?

Yes, and I expect you to. Photos, logo, wording, services, hours. Reply or text and it's changed the same day.

Do I own it?

Pay once and it's yours today. Pay monthly and it's yours after the ninth payment. Either way the domain is in your name and the files are yours.

Will this help me show up on Google?

It gives your Google listing somewhere to send people, which is the biggest hole most businesses without a site have. It's built with the basics Google looks for. It is not a guarantee of rankings, and nobody honest will sell you one.

Why is it so much cheaper than the other sites you've built?

Different product. Custom sites take weeks of meetings and design. Yours was built in a day from your listing, before we talked. Same person, same standards for what's on the page, a fraction of the hours. The price follows the hours.
