# Safina Studio

> Safina Studio builds finished small-business websites, done for you, for a flat $500 — copy written, design done, domain and business email set up, first preview in 72 hours. No sales calls, no meetings, no monthly rent. The client owns everything.

Safina Studio is a productized web-design studio. A business answers a few quick questions and receives a complete, launched website — not a template to fill in. Flat pricing, asynchronous by design, and every site is fully owned by the client (domain registered in their name, files handed over, no lock-in).

## What we do

- [Homepage](https://safinastudio.com/): the offer, selected work, process, pricing, and guarantee.
- [Start a project](https://safinastudio.com/start): a short intake form that returns a fixed quote within one business day — no call required.
- [Cost guide](https://safinastudio.com/cost): an honest 2026 breakdown of what a small-business website actually costs, with sources.
- [Web design](https://safinastudio.com/web-design): Launch ($500) and Growth ($800) websites for Chicago-area small businesses and owners anywhere in the US — what's included, what isn't, how it works.
- [Google Business Profile](https://safinastudio.com/google-business-profile): setting up and caring for an existing Google Business Profile (setup with Growth, ongoing under Care) — and what nobody can promise about rankings.
- [Barbershop websites](https://safinastudio.com/barbershop-websites): barbershop website design built on live work — the price board, barbers by name, hours and one-tap call (Xtreme Cuts, Palos Hills).
- [Restaurant websites](https://safinastudio.com/restaurant-websites): restaurant and food truck website design — the real menu with prices and a direct line to the ordering you already run, including a Clover hand-off.
- [Dental websites](https://safinastudio.com/dental-websites): dental practice website design — treatments, the team, hours, phone booking, and forms that ask no health questions.
- [Medical practice websites](https://safinastudio.com/medical-practice-websites): physician group website design — a doctor finder built from public records, offices, hours and phone-first appointments.
- [Home inspector websites](https://safinastudio.com/home-inspector-websites): home inspector website design — the published price sheet, service area, realtor page and text-first contact.
- [Work](https://safinastudio.com/work): case studies of live client sites — a barbershop, restaurants, a food truck, a dental practice, a medical group and a home inspector.
- [Online, anywhere in the US](https://safinastudio.com/online-website): the same Launch/Growth website offer for owners outside Chicago — fully by email, flat price, you own the site.
- [Guides](https://safinastudio.com/guides): plain-English guides for small-business owners, useful whether or not you hire us.
- [Guide: How to get your business on Google and Google Maps](https://safinastudio.com/guides/get-your-business-on-google): claim or create your free Business Profile in your own account, verify it, fill it in, and start collecting reviews.
- [Guide: Business Profile suspended or won't verify](https://safinastudio.com/guides/google-business-profile-suspended): what each state means, Google's appeal steps and timelines, and what not to do (never a new duplicate profile).
- [Guide: Do I need a website if I have a Google Business Profile?](https://safinastudio.com/guides/do-i-need-a-website): what a profile does well, when a profile alone is honestly enough, and what a website adds. Google shut the free profile websites in March 2024.

## Pricing (flat, one-time)

- **Launch — $500:** one-page site, copy written for you, mobile-ready, SEO basics, contact/booking link, domain + business email set up (first year included), first preview in 72 hours.
- **Growth — $800:** up to five sections, booking or lead form, Google Business Profile setup, first preview in 5 business days.
- **Care — $49/month (optional):** managed hosting, small edits handled for you, monthly traffic summary. The only recurring cost, and only if wanted.

## How we're different from website builders

- **Done-for-you, not do-it-yourself.** We write the copy and fill in the real content; builders hand you an empty template.
- **You own it.** Domain in your name, files yours, no platform lock-in, no "powered by" badge.
- **No monthly rent.** One flat price. Builders charge $11–25/month indefinitely for a comparable published site.
- **Async only.** Everything over email — no sales calls or meetings. One optional free onboarding call after purchase, if wanted.
