We build the sign. You change the letters.
$50 a month, all in.
Every small business already has a marquee out front — the sign people read before they ever walk in. Marquee is that sign, online. We build the whole thing and hand you one simple page you can change yourself in about a minute. No dashboard to learn. No developer to email. And when you'd rather someone else do it, we're a phone call away.
Typed on your phone in the parking lot. Live before you put the phone down.
The part nobody tells you
People look you up before they call you. What they find is the whole decision.
Not a maybe. Somebody hears your name at a job site, in a waiting room, from a neighbor over a fence. Before they dial, they type it into their phone. That search is happening right now, today, whether or not you have anything waiting at the other end of it.
What they're actually checking
Three things, every time, in about eight seconds:
That's the entire test. It isn't about design awards or animations. It's about a stranger deciding, quickly, whether you're worth a phone call — and there is no version of that decision where finding nothing helps you.
What happens when there's nothing there
You don't get a rejection. You get silence.
Nobody calls to say they couldn't find you. They just call the next name on the list — the one who had a page that answered the question. You never learn that it happened, which is exactly what makes it so easy to keep ignoring. The lost job doesn't show up anywhere you'd look for it.
A Facebook page is somebody else's building
It works until the reach changes, the rules change, or the account gets locked and there's no one to call. You're renting an address you can be evicted from, and everything you've posted goes with it. Your own domain is the one address on the internet that stays yours.
A Google listing is a directory entry, not a business
It's a good thing to have and it isn't a website. It gives someone your hours and a map pin. It doesn't explain what you actually do, show what you've built, tell them what makes you the right call, or give them a real email address that ends in your own name instead of a free provider's.
The honest version of the pitch
A website will not make your phone ring on its own. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. What it does is stop you losing the calls you were already going to get — the ones that started with somebody hearing your name and wanting to check. That's a smaller promise than most people make, and it's the true one. At $50 a month, it also doesn't have to work very hard to be worth it.
What's in it
Four pages, one you control, and a few things that run themselves.
Deliberately small. This is the version for a business that needs to exist online properly and doesn't need a project to do it.
Your home page
Who you are, what you do, where you work, and why someone should call you instead of the next name. Written from a conversation with you, then yours to approve before anything goes live.
An about page
The part that turns a search result into a person. How long you've been at it, who you are, what you actually care about doing well. This is the page that closes the nervous customer.
A page you change yourself THE LETTERS
One page, one box, one Save button. Closed Monday. Booking into April. Now hiring a helper. Snow day. Anything you'd have taped to the door — typed on your phone and live in seconds. No dashboard to learn, no password you'll forget, no call to us.
A contact page wired to Google
Your hours come straight from your Google Business Profile. Change them in Google once — for a holiday, a short day, an early close — and the website follows on its own. Two places to keep straight becomes one.
A real email address
Something at your own domain instead of a free provider's. It costs nothing extra here, and it changes how you read on a quote — the difference between a business and a guy with a phone.
An AI assistant that knows your business
Hand us up to three documents — a price sheet, a service list, a page of the questions you answer forty times a week — and your site can answer from them, in your words, around the clock. Included: 100 questions a month. More available if you ever outgrow it.
Also handled without you thinking about it: hosting, the security certificate, uptime monitoring, and the technical housekeeping that keeps a site loading when somebody taps it at nine at night.
How it goes
One conversation, then it's up.
We talk once
What you do, who you do it for, what you want people to know. Bring your logo if you have one and the three documents for the assistant if you want it from day one. We don't need a brief. We need a conversation.
We build it
You see it before anyone else does and tell us what's wrong. We fix that, point your domain at it, set up your email, and connect your Google hours. Then it's live.
You change the letters
From then on the only thing you touch is your one page, whenever something changes. Everything else keeps running. If you want a bigger change, you call us and we bill the time — never a surprise, never a retainer you forgot you had.
The whole price
$50 a month. That's the product.
One number, billed monthly, everything above included. No tiers to compare and nothing important held back for an upgrade.
Marquee, monthly
Everything listed above, every month.
Website, hosting, security certificate, monitoring, one email address, your self-update page, Google hours, and 100 AI questions a month.
The build
A one-time setup fee to get it made.
On a one-year agreement. Waived entirely on a three-year agreement — if you know you're staying, don't pay to start.
Us, on call
For the changes you'd rather hand off.
A new page, a section rebuilt, photos laid out properly, something you'd rather not fight with. Billed by the time it takes and never charged unless you ask for it. Ask us and we'll tell you the rate up front.
Extra AI questions are available in blocks if you ever pass 100 in a month. We'd rather tell you that you're close than quietly bill you for it.
Marquee or Rent-a-Site
The difference is who keeps it current.
We'd rather you pick the right one than the expensive one. These are genuinely different products for genuinely different businesses.
| Marquee — $50/mo | Rent-a-Site — from $100/mo | |
|---|---|---|
| Who updates it | You do, on one simple page | We do, you never touch it |
| New content each month | Not included | Written and published for you |
| Search-engine work | Set up properly, then left alone | Ongoing, every month |
| Analytics and reporting | Not included | Included and reviewed |
| Changes beyond your page | Billed at our hourly rate when you ask | Included in the plan |
| Best for | A business that needs to exist online properly and rarely changes | A business that wants the site actively worked on |
If your hours, prices, and services look the same in June as they did in January, Marquee is the honest answer and you should not pay us more than $50 a month. If you want somebody pushing on it all year, that's Rent-a-Site, and you can move up any time without rebuilding anything.
Straight answers
The questions we actually get.
Who owns the domain?
We register and hold it as part of the service, the same way we hold the hosting. If you ever want it moved to your own account — you leave, you hire somebody else, you just want it in your name — we transfer it and charge you only what the transfer actually costs. Not a penny of markup and no exit fee. Your name is never held hostage here.
What if I already have a domain?
Good — we'll point it at the new site. Nothing to buy and nothing to move.
How hard is the page I update?
It's a box and a Save button. If you can write a text message you can do it, and we'll walk you through it once on the day we hand it over.
What if I don't want to update anything?
Then don't. The site works perfectly well sitting still — the page just keeps whatever it last said. It's there for the days something changes, not as homework.
Does the AI make things up?
It answers from the documents you give us and it's built to say it doesn't know rather than invent an answer. Give it your real prices and it quotes your real prices. Give it nothing about warranties and it will tell someone to call you.
Why is the setup fee waived on three years?
Because the build is the expensive part for us and a longer commitment pays for it. If you're confident you're staying, that's worth $100 to you and worth more than $100 to us.
Can I move up to Rent-a-Site later?
Any time, and nothing gets rebuilt. It's the same site — we just start doing the work on it instead of leaving it to you.
Will this get me to the top of Google?
No, and be careful with anyone who promises it. We set the technical basics up correctly so you're findable for your own name and what you do. Fighting for competitive search terms is ongoing work, and that's Rent-a-Site.
