Your website shouldn’t be the slowest part of your business.

Custom websites and managed hosting for Des Moines businesses.

Why our sites are fast

Slow pages lose visitors, and Google ranks them lower. We keep pages small by building only what your site needs, with one of two tools.

Astro

For most websites. Every page is prepared in advance as plain HTML, so there’s little to download and little that can break.

Ghost

For publishing websites. Post articles, send email newsletters and run free or paid memberships yourself, without the plugin upkeep that comes with WordPress.

Why we care about speed

Hosting

One team designs, builds and hosts your site, so when something needs changing, you email the people who built it.

Questions

How much does a website cost?

Websites are $300 to $800, and publishing websites start at $900. Custom projects are quoted individually, and design is included in every price. Hosting is optional: $25 a month for websites ($240 a year if paid annually) and $45 a month for publishing websites.

How long does it take?

It depends on the size of the site. You’ll get a timeline with your quote, before any work starts.

I already have a website. Can you redo it?

Yes. We’ll design a new site from scratch, bring over the content you want to keep, and keep your domain, so customers find you at the same address.

Can I update my website myself?

If you want to, yes. Publishing websites are built on Ghost, which gives you a simple editor for posts, pages and newsletters. Or email us and we’ll make the change.

What does managed hosting include?

Email on your own domain, backups, security and SSL, monitoring, and software updates.

Do I have to host with you?

No. Hosting with us is optional. If you’d rather host your site somewhere else, we’ll hand over everything you need to run it.
