One price. Everything included.

One plan, one price: a $749 one-time setup fee and $179 per month - our Founding Client rate (the future price is $1,999 setup + $249/month). That covers everything - the custom design and build of your website (a $12,000+ value we absorb up front), hosting, security, daily backups, the AI chatbot, three custom blog articles a week (156 a year, each with its own image), 10 local landing pages, lead capture, and your own editing access. There are no tiers, no required upgrades, and no surprise invoices. For what each piece actually does, see the services page.

Because the economics changed, not the quality. We build every site on our own platform - the same custom codebase that runs every Brattleboro Local site - so the craftsmanship that used to cost $5,000-$12,000 up front is now spread across an affordable monthly subscription. You get the same hand-built, fast, SEO-ready site; you just do not have to write a big check to get it.

The honest answer most agencies bury: on the subscription, we own and operate the site and you license it - that is what makes the low monthly possible. But unlike the big site-builder platforms, we publish a buyout schedule: at any point you can pay the buyout for your tenure bracket and walk away owning the complete site - code, design, and content. After 4 years the buyout is just a $299 transfer fee. Your domain name and your content are always yours, from day one, no matter what.

The schedule is published right on this page and written into your agreement: months 1-12 it is $7,499, months 13-24 it is $3,999, months 25-36 it is $1,999, months 37-48 it is $999, and from month 49 on it is just a $299 transfer fee. Pay it and we hand over the entire site - full code, design, images, and content - and help you or your new developer move it to hosting you control. No exit interviews, no retention games.

Cancel any time with 30 days written notice - there is no long-term contract. Without a buyout the site itself (our code and design) comes down, but you keep your domain and we give you a full export of your content - your wording, photos, blog posts, and lead history. If you think you might want the site itself, check the buyout schedule first; after a few years it costs less than a nice dinner out.

Yes. $749 covers onboarding: collecting your business details, photos, and preferences, building and launching the full site, connecting your domain, and training the AI chatbot on your business. The complete build - design, content writing, town pages, chatbot - is included even though it is a $12,000+ value job. We can afford that because clients stay: the product is good, the price is fair, and there is nothing to escape from.

No. The monthly covers the whole platform - hosting, security, content, chatbot, editing - and nothing is ever added to your bill. If you need something genuinely outside what is listed here, contact us and we will give you a written custom quote before anything happens.

Credit card or ACH bank transfer through Stripe. The $749 setup is paid securely at signup through Stripe Checkout - that is what starts your build. The $179 monthly starts the day you approve your site and it goes live, or 14 days after signup, whichever comes first (if a delay is on our side, we push that date back), and renews monthly from that date. Cancel with 30 days notice. Full details: terms of service.

Perfect - that makes your build faster. We rebuild it on our platform (better, faster, and AI-search ready), point your existing domain at the new site with proper redirects so you keep your Google standing, and retire the old bill you were paying elsewhere. Start with the free audit and we will show you exactly what would change.

In southern Vermont, quotes run from a few hundred dollars for template work to five figures for agency builds - plus hosting, maintenance, and content usually billed on top. Brattleboro Local is one flat price: $749 to start and $179 per month (our Founding Client rate; future price $1,999 + $249/month) with design, hosting, content, chatbot, and maintenance all included.
