How it works

A conversation with
something to look at.

We start with a design you can react to, either before our first call or after a short conversation. You tell us what belongs, what is missing and what customers ask you every day.

Review your preview.

We prepare a website concept before our first call or after a short conversation. Open the preview and tell us what you would change.

Choose your changes.

Share your story, photos, services and requested changes. We agree on the scope, price and schedule in a written offer. Accept it and pay half the build to start the agreed customization.

Approve & publish.

You review the finished design and business facts. After final approval, pay the remaining half and the first monthly fee at launch. Monthly service starts with that launch payment.

Questions about plans & payments
Can I see an example before paying?

Yes. Start with Raymond’s, our fictional restaurant demo. We can prepare an initial concept before our first call or after a short conversation. Your input shapes the agreed design and scope. You review the concept and written offer before accepting and paying. The full build begins after the deposit. Monthly service starts at launch, after you approve the finished site.

Correct costs $1,500 for the build plus $150/month. Found costs $3,000 for the build plus $300/month. Booked costs $5,000 for the build plus $450/month. Pay half the build at signing. After you approve the finished site, pay the remaining half and the first monthly fee at launch. Monthly service starts with the launch payment; no monthly fee is charged during the build. Standard plans are month to month with 30 days’ notice to cancel.

Can I share this with the person who approves our website budget?

Yes. Share our plans and Raymond’s fictional restaurant example with your owner or budget approver. Include the website problem you want to solve and suggest a time for a short review together. You can leave a business contact and a preferred follow-up time in the inquiry form.

Who does Sow Site work with?

Can you maintain a restaurant menu and opening hours?

Yes. Correct starts at $1,500 for the build plus $150/month and includes four fact changes each month. We check managed business profiles weekly and handle agreed fact changes within one business day. Larger menu or content changes are scoped before work starts.

Can you connect online ordering or reservations?

Booked includes booking or ordering in your own system, eligible Google connections, a staff walkthrough and weekly tests. Your written offer lists the provider, setup and costs.

What is included in monthly website maintenance?

Every plan includes weekly business-fact checks, holiday-hour updates, uptime and form alerts, and a monthly report and check-in.

Fixes found during our checks are included. Extensive changes, new pages, redesigns and work beyond the agreed allowance are quoted separately before work starts. Each additional website language costs $750 once.

Will my website use my own domain?

Yes. The agreed build uses your own domain. Share an existing domain or a preferred name when you request a plan. If you do not have one, we help you choose it and confirm registration, access and any third-party costs before launch.

How does Sow Site help with SEO and AI search?

We organize your approved business facts into readable website content and structured data, check search access and keep managed listings consistent. Clear answers about your services, prices and location help people and search systems understand the business.
