Online · Anywhere in the US
A small business website, online, anywhere in the US
The same offer we make across Chicagoland, for owners everywhere else. We write the words, build the site and put it on your own domain for a flat $500 or $800 — fully by email, no calls, and you own the finished site.
Who this is for
You’re not in Chicago, and you don’t want a local agency anyway
You want someone who reads your answers, writes the copy, builds the pages and handles the domain, for a price you know up front. That work doesn’t need a meeting. It needs a good brief and a fast inbox.
Safina Studio is a small studio in Bridgeview, Illinois — Chicago’s southwest suburbs. Most of our clients so far are nearby: a barbershop, a shawarma restaurant with two stores, a food truck, a home inspector, a dental practice and a physician group. Distance has never been the hard part of any of those builds. The words and the details are, and those travel by email just as well across the country as across town.
The offer
Two plans, flat prices, no monthly rent
Launch
$500 one time
- A one-page site, with the copy written for you
- A custom design that works on phones
- Domain and business email set up; first year of the domain included
- One revision round
- First preview in 72 hours
Growth
$800 one time
- Everything in Launch
- Up to five pages or sections
- A booking system or lead form, set up
- Google Business Profile setup
- Two revision rounds
- First preview in five business days
Care is optional at $49 a month: hosting, uptime checks, every version saved, up to 4 small edits a month, and a monthly traffic summary. Without Care, the domain renews at $15 a year and the site is still yours. The full details of both plans, including what they don’t cover, are on the web design page.
How it works
A brief, a draft, your changes, then launch
- The brief. About 15 minutes online: your business, your customers, what the site should get people to do, and any photos or logo you already have. Nothing is charged.
- Our reply. Within one business day you get a fixed quote and any questions we have.
- The draft. You pay the $49 draft fee, credited in full to your plan. Your preview arrives in 72 hours on Launch, or five business days on Growth.
- Your changes. One email per revision round, and we turn them around.
- Launch. Approve the site and pay the balance: $451 on Launch, $751 on Growth. We put it live on your domain.
There are no sales calls at any step, and no meetings. If the draft misses and you’d rather walk away, we refund half the draft fee — the most you can lose is $24.50.
Ownership
The site is yours, wherever you are
- Your domain is registered in your name, with you as the legal owner.
- The files, copy and design are yours once you make the final payment.
- If you want the domain at another registrar, we’ll transfer it free within 3 business days of you asking.
- If you cancel Care, you get a zip of your complete site within 7 days, and the site stays live for 30 days while you move.
Our work
Sites we built that are live today
Six real businesses run on sites we built and launched — a barbershop, a restaurant with two stores, a food truck, a dental practice, a medical group and a home inspector. Each case study says what they needed, what we built, and where it stands.
Questions
What owners ask about working this way
Do I have to be in Chicago?
No. Safina Studio is based in Bridgeview, Illinois, in Chicago’s southwest suburbs, and most of our clients so far are nearby. But everything runs by email — the brief, the draft, the revisions, the launch — so we build for owners anywhere in the US.
How does it work without meeting you?
You fill in a short brief online (about 15 minutes). Our reply comes within one business day with a fixed quote. You pay a $49 draft fee that is credited in full to your plan, and your first preview arrives in 72 hours on Launch or five business days on Growth. Revisions and approval happen over email, then we launch. If you’d like one walkthrough call after you buy, it’s free and optional.
What does it cost?
$500 for Launch or $800 for Growth, paid once. Every build starts with the $49 draft fee, credited in full; the balance ($451 or $751) is due only after you’ve seen and approved your draft. Care at $49 a month is optional. Without it, the domain renews at $15 a year from the second year, and the site is still yours.
What if the draft isn’t what I wanted?
Send your changes as one email per revision round — Launch includes one round, Growth includes two. If it still misses and you’d rather walk away, tell us and we’ll refund half the draft fee. The most you can lose is $24.50.
Do I own the site?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name, and the files, copy and design are yours once you make the final payment. If you ever want the domain at another registrar, we’ll transfer it free. If you cancel Care, you get a zip of your complete site and the site stays live for 30 days while you move.
Same offer, wherever you are
The brief takes about 15 minutes and nothing is charged. A fixed quote comes back within one business day, by email.
