Websites and social media for local businesses, built by one guy.
I'm Aaron. You talk to the person who actually builds your stuff: no account managers, no ticket numbers, no hold music.
Four things. All done by me.
Pick one or stack them. Most folks start with the website and add the rest when they see it working.
Websites
A site you can edit yourself. Change prices, hours, services, photos and events right from your phone. No calling me at 9pm. (You can still call me at 9pm.)
More 02Social media
Planned, written, designed and scheduled for you. Every link is tracked, so you can see what actually brought people through the door.
More 03Brand & design
Logos, mascots and post templates that look like you, not like a clip-art store. Characters people remember.
More 04Apps & systems
Online booking and ordering, POS and CRM sync, customer portals, internal tools. The boring plumbing that gives you your hours back.
MoreWebsites start at $750 for a basic 1 to 3 page site, $1,500 for a 5-page site you can edit from your phone, $2,500 for a full local-business site, and $5,000 to $10,000+ for custom builds. Or $99 a month with nothing upfront. Care plans from $49 a month. Tell me your budget first and I’ll scope to it.
People don't search anymore. They ask.
Your next customer types "best plumber near Surfside" or "nail salon open Sunday" into ChatGPT, Siri or Google's AI box and gets one answer, not ten blue links. If the AI can't read your site, it recommends the place down the street. Here's what changed, and what I do about it.
How I use AI myself: the way a carpenter uses a nail gun. Faster, same hands. Every word a customer reads on your site, I read first.
Your website is where the decision happens.
Nobody picks a restaurant or a plumber from an ad. They see the ad, then they look you up, then they decide. The site has to be fast, the ad has to follow up, and both have to be measured. Here's the whole machine.

Sprout Social IndexRetargeting: the ad that follows up for you.
Most people who visit leave without calling. A small tag remembers the visit, anonymously, and your ad shows up again on Facebook, Instagram or Google. You spend on people who already showed interest, not strangers.
- 1They visitSomeone checks your services, your prices or your hours.
- 2A tag remembersA small piece of code (Meta Pixel, Google tag) notes the visit. No names, no personal data.
- 3They leaveMost visitors do, without buying or calling.
- 4They see you againYour ad shows up on Facebook, Instagram or Google over the next few days.
- 5They come backNow they call, book or walk in.
Fix the leaks, then push
- Audit: can Google read it, how fast is it, is the Google Business Profile right, are the hours the same everywhere
- Install tracking: analytics, Meta Pixel, Google tag
- Fix what the audit found
- Launch retargeting and a content push
- Report what moved, every step, in plain English
Keep it running
- Social posts and short videos, you tap Approve, nothing posts without your OK
- Retargeting kept tuned to what's working
- Site and code kept current, so it doesn't rot
- One monthly report you can read in two minutes
The parking-lot test.
Phone out. Wi-Fi off. Open your own website.
- Hours on the first screen?
- Tap the phone number. Does it call?
- Did any of that take more than a few seconds?
That's the customer who gave up. Most of the fixes are small.
Switching systems should not mean starting over.
Most "migrations" are a new system with an empty database and a box of old reports you can't search. I do it differently: your old customers, orders, bookings and history come across still usable, and the move becomes the moment your data finally gets cleaned up. And if you're not moving but drowning in five systems that don't talk, I make them one.
Why that matters now: the AI features coming to every POS, CRM and booking tool only work on data that is organized. Businesses with clean history get the good stuff on day one. Everyone else gets a chatbot that guesses. Get ready while you're moving anyway.
- Old data, still usableNot an archive. Your history lands in the new system where you can search it, report on it and sell from it.
- Even when there's no export buttonLocked-in platforms, dead apps, old databases, a site that only exists in Google's cache. I've gotten data out of all of them.
- Five systems, one picturePOS, booking, CRM, email, spreadsheets, group texts: wired together so a sale in one shows up in all of them, and nobody retypes anything.
- A chatbot per department, or on your siteFront desk, scheduling, sales, HR: each gets an assistant that answers from the systems it's connected to. Customers get one on the site that knows your services, hours and policies.
- Ready for analysis and AIDeduped, labelled and consistent, so reports actually add up and the AI tools coming down the pipe answer from your real numbers, services and hours.
that's the whole sensible part. the rest is a lot more me.

Skipped straight to the back? Here's the business bit.
No judgement. I would have too.
Websites from $750, custom builds $5,000–$10,000+, or $99/mo with nothing upfront. Care from $49/mo. Full price list. Tell me your budget first and I'll scope to it.
Hi, I'm Aaron. I'm the whole company.
Designer, developer, social media guy and tech support, all in one chair. There's nobody to hand you off to and nobody to put you on hold.
I love abstract art, loud graffiti, and a website that actually does its job. This page is built like me: serious about your business up front, a little unhinged in the back. You get both.
