The process

How it works

Simple, fast, and fully handed over.

1

Fill in the form

Quick intake form — tell us your business, what you need, and which package. We'll confirm within 24 hours.

2

We plan the site

We map out the structure, content needs, design direction, and everything required before a single line is written.

3

We build and launch it

Custom-coded, tested across devices, connected to your domain, and live — usually within 5 days.

4

We hand it over

We walk you through everything on a quick handoff call — your code, GitHub repo, deployment setup, and how to make basic changes. It's yours. No lock-in, no ongoing fees.

Why SteadSite

Your site should work as hard as you do

A template site checks a box. A custom site does a job.

One payment
Not a subscription

You pay once. The site is yours. No monthly retainer, no hosting markup, no ongoing fees required.

5 days
Not 6–8 weeks

Most agencies have a queue of retainer clients to manage first. We move fast because that's our whole model.

Zero
Ongoing fees

Hosting, SSL, SEO, DNS — done at build, not drip-fed monthly. Everything your site needs is included from day one.

Built to convert

A website that actually brings in work

Most web agencies make their money from ongoing plans, not builds. So they have every incentive to leave work for later — charge monthly for hosting that costs them $5, sell SEO as a retainer, bill for edits that should have been done at launch.

SteadSite doesn’t run retainers. We build the site properly, hand it over clean, and get out of the way. That means building for conversion from day one:

Strategic page structure

Sections are ordered to build trust, answer objections, and guide the visitor toward contact.

Clear calls to action

Every page has a purpose. Every section moves the visitor closer to getting in touch.

Trust signals where they matter

Reviews, credentials, project photos, and proof — placed where they actually influence decisions.

Mobile-first design

Your customers are searching on their phones. Your site works perfectly there first.

What gets done at launch — not sold as extras

Everything your site needs. Done once. Done right.

Custom-coded from scratch

No templates, no drag-and-drop builder

Meta titles, descriptions, structured headings

SSL certificate

Installed and configured at launch

Pointed correctly, working from day one

Performance optimisation

Fast load times, no plugin bloat

Full code ownership

GitHub repo handed to you at launch

Other services charge monthly for this. We do it once, at build, and it’s yours.

The honest comparison

What you’re actually paying for elsewhere

Template builders
  • Pre-made templates shared by thousands of sites
  • Drag-and-drop editor with limited flexibility
  • You manage hosting, plugins, updates, and security
  • Basic SEO tools with limited control
  • Hit a wall when you need something custom
  • Leave and lose everything
  • You're on your own after setup
Subscription web services

The $99–$250/month “managed” model

  • Minimum 12-month contracts — you're locked in before they've built a thing
  • Cancel and your site goes offline — they host it, they control it
  • Your domain is often registered in their name, not yours
  • Monthly fee includes hosting that costs them $5 — billed to you at $50–$100
  • SEO is sold as a separate ongoing charge on top of your monthly fee
  • Every small edit or update is either billed extra or stuck in a queue
  • If you want to leave, they can hold your code and domain to ransom
  • You pay for years and still own nothing at the end of it
SteadSiteRecommended
  • Built from scratch specifically for your business — no templates, no shortcuts
  • Everything set up properly the first time — SEO, DNS, SSL, hosting, done
  • You own the code outright from day one — GitHub repo handed to you at launch
  • One flat payment — no monthly fee, no hosting markup, no surprises
  • Domain registered in your name — nobody can hold it over you
  • A quick handoff call so you know exactly how everything works
  • Need changes later? Take it to any developer — the code is clean and yours
  • No minimum contract, no lock-in, no ongoing relationship required
