Do I own the site after?

Yes. After the flat fee is paid, the site, the domain, and the code are yours. If you ever want to take it to another developer, you can.

What if I already have a domain?

No problem. We can use your existing domain. If you don't have one, we'll register it for you (cost passed through, usually $12–20/yr).

What about hosting after year 1?

$25/mo gets you hosting + small edits (changing a phone number, swapping a photo, etc.). Or you can self-host on Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages for free. We'll show you how.

Can you redo my existing site?

Yes. Most of our work is replacing 10-year-old WordPress sites that nobody can edit. Send us your current site URL with the quote request and we'll quote a redesign.

Do you do e-commerce / online stores?

Not yet. We focus on local service businesses where the website's job is to make the phone ring. If you need to sell products online, Shopify or Squarespace will serve you better.

What if I don't like the result?

You only paid 50% upfront. If you genuinely hate it, you walk away. You don't pay the second half. I keep the deposit for the work done. This has not happened yet, but the option is there.

Are you using AI to build these?

Sort of. I use modern AI tools to write code faster, the same way most developers do in 2026. But every site is reviewed, customized, and finished by hand. The end result is a real, hand-tuned site, not a template that AI spat out.

Three of us across three metros: Appleton, WI (Fox Valley region — Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, Sheboygan), San Jose, CA (San Francisco Bay Area), and Las Vegas, NV (Henderson, Summerlin, the broader valley). If you're somewhere else and like the look of this site, reach out anyway. We work remotely.

Honest comparison

ProLocalBuilder vs WordPress

Both options work for some businesses. This page is the honest breakdown of where WordPress wins and where it doesn't.

WordPress

$300–$1,500/yr (with hosting + plugins)

monthly forever

ProLocalBuilder

$895 once, no monthly

you own it

Where WordPress is good

Full control if you (or your developer) know what you're doing
Massive plugin ecosystem
You own the code

Where WordPress hurts

Plugin updates break the site every few months
Hosting + premium plugins + maintenance adds up to $50–$150/mo
Without a developer, you're stuck with whatever your old guy set up
Security patches required constantly. Outdated WordPress is a target

Bottom line

When you should pick WordPress

If you want to edit your site yourself every week and don't mind paying monthly forever, WordPress is fine.

If you'd rather own the site, get it built once for $895 to $2,995, and never see another invoice, you want us.
