Everything people usually find out the hard way: domains, email, what the packages actually include, and who does what. All of it explained like a human. Read whatever you care about. You choose, I'll advise.
Not a template with your name swapped in. A site designed for your business specifically: your photos, your real Google reviews on the page, your services, tap-to-call everywhere, and articles written around what your customers actually search for. Built to get found on Google and in the AI tools people ask now: ChatGPT, and the AI answers at the top of Google.
And you see the whole thing finished before you pay a dime. If you don't love it, you've spent nothing and I'll take it down. That's the whole model.
A domain is the name people type to find you: yourshop.com. Without one, your site lives on a borrowed address. With one, it's on your name: on your business cards, your truck, your Google listing.
This is the part most website companies get wrong on purpose. Your domain gets registered in your own account, paid by your card, straight to the registrar, usually $10 to $15 a year. It never passes through me, so it can never be held hostage by me. If we part ways someday, you lose nothing.
Takes ten seconds: search it on Cloudflare. That's the registrar I recommend because they sell at cost with no markup games. Type your shop name and see what's available. If your first choice is taken, we get creative together.
Setting it up takes about 20 minutes following my step-by-step guide, or on the monthly plan I wire the whole thing with you on the phone.
Once you own the domain, you can have email on it. It's not required, plenty of my clients run fine without it, but here's the honest case for it:
Setup is a follow-along guide (no phone calls with Google required), or on the monthly plan I handle it and hand you working credentials.
You own it, you run it, I'm out of the picture.
Same ownership. I just do all the work.
Every step of your part has a plain-English guide with screenshots. Nobody's left googling anything.
Getting found is not one thing, it's a loop that feeds itself: fresh reviews make Google trust you, fresh posts keep the listing and the site alive, and the reviews showing up on your site close the people who click through. Each one makes the others work harder.
On the $75/mo plan, we run all of that for you: the posts, the site updates, the Google Business Page, your new reviews appearing on the site automatically. There is exactly one piece we cannot do, and it's the most important one.
Nobody can ask for a review like the person who did the work. Two moves, both free:
"Hey, I just started taking my business presence online seriously, and reviews from great customers like you are the biggest thing that helps. Can you take a moment and give me a review? [your review link]"
In person is even easier, ask at pickup while they're admiring the work. But the existing book is sitting right there in your phone, so you may as well capitalize on it today.
| Thing | Cost | Paid to |
|---|---|---|
| The website | One-time build price ask me for the current special | Bad Habit Design, once |
| Domain | ~$10 to $15 per year | The registrar, directly. Never through me |
| Business email | A few dollars per month, optional | Google, directly. Never through me |
| Run & Managed | $75/mo, optional, cancel anytime | Bad Habit Design |
| Hosting on Free & Clear | $0 on the free tier that fits most shops | Nobody |
That's the whole list. No setup fees, no "maintenance packages" you didn't ask for, no markups on the third-party stuff. Those bills go straight from you to them so you always know what's real.
"I expected a bit of a reskin and some SEO optimization, what I got was an incredible, bespoke product that presented my business better than I could've ever hoped."
"He took my ideas, built a clean, professional website, and made sure everything looked great on both desktop and mobile. If you're looking for someone who actually delivers what they promise without all the headaches, Bad Habit Design is the real deal."
"Nick took my ideas, turned them into a great website, and built custom automations that made my business more efficient. I'll definitely be back for future projects."
"They weren't just trying to build a website. They were building my brand. Every little detail mattered. Now I put it on every email and every piece of business mail I send."
"Fast, professional, and ridiculously easy to work with. Nick had my website up in no time, and it looks better than I expected."
"Gave a brief description of my company outline and got the PERFECT company logo! I will be working with Nick again!"
The site stays yours and stays up. You lose the labor (the weekly changes, the blog posts, the review updates), not the property. Restart whenever.
Perfect, we use it. That usually makes setup faster.
No. It's the most skippable piece. You can add it in a month or a year. The domain makes it possible whenever you're ready.
The site is usually live within a day of your go-ahead. Domain and email add about a day mostly waiting on the internet to catch up.
No office, no sales team, no subscriptions dressed up as services. I build fast because I've built a lot of these, and the price reflects my costs, not an agency's overhead.
You've got this page. Find one and tell me.
I build it, you look at it, then you decide. That's the order.
