For a custom hand-coded website that you own outright, the flat rate is $800, one time. Freelance designers commonly charge $2,000 to $8,000 for comparable work, and agencies charge $5,000 to $15,000 plus ongoing monthly fees. Website builders look cheaper up front, but they bill $20 to $100 or more every month for as long as the site exists.

Yes, and that is exactly the point of how OTM works. You pay once, you own the code, and there is no monthly platform fee. Your only ongoing cost is your domain name, roughly $10 to $15 a year, paid directly to your domain registrar rather than to me.

Because there is no agency overhead. No project managers, no account reps, no subcontractors. Just one developer working directly with you. I think a website is a tool that should help your business grow, not a recurring bill that follows you for years. I would rather build five sites at $800 than one at $4,000.

Payment is split in two. Half up front to start the build, and the remaining half at the code transfer milestone when the finished files are handed to you. The price is agreed in writing before any work begins, so there is never a surprise number at the end.

No. The quoted price is the price. No setup fees, no platform fees, no maintenance retainer. The only recurring cost is your domain name, roughly $10 to $15 a year, paid to your registrar. If a project needs something beyond the standard scope, it is priced clearly upfront before any work starts.

It means the real code files are handed to you and they belong to you. You can host them anywhere, hand them to any developer, or move them at any time. With Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy you are renting a site that disappears the moment you stop paying. With OTM, the website is an asset you keep permanently.

Your site is hosted on free static hosting such as Cloudflare Pages or GitHub Pages, which costs nothing for a site of this kind. The hosting account is set up in your name so you control it, and I walk you through the entire setup step by step so you are never on your own with it.

Yes, if you do not already have one. A domain is registered through a provider like Namecheap or Cloudflare for roughly $10 to $15 a year, in your own name so you own it. I help you choose and connect it. If you already have a domain, we point it at the new site instead of buying another.

Yes. The site is standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with no proprietary system involved, so any competent developer can pick it up. The files can be moved to any host at any time, and you do not need permission from anyone to do it.

Nothing. The site keeps running because you own the files and you control the hosting and the domain. There is no subscription to cancel and no switch on my end that turns it off. That is the entire idea behind outright ownership.

Most sites are finished in two to five business days once we agree on the scope. Larger or more complex builds can take up to two weeks. I always give you a realistic timeline upfront before any work starts.

Just the basics: your business name, what the business does, your logo if you have one, any photos you want used, and a general idea of what you want to accomplish. I handle the rest and ask questions along the way if I need more detail. You do not need anything prepared or any technical knowledge.

Four steps. First we talk through your business and goals, and I come back with a plan and a flat price within 24 hours. Then I build, sharing a preview link so you can watch it come together. Then you review every detail and we adjust anything that needs it. Finally the finished files are delivered to you and the site goes live.

Yes. I share a private preview link during the build so you can see progress and request changes as we go instead of waiting until the end. Nothing goes live publicly until you approve it.

Real photos of your business, your team, and your finished work are strongly preferred, because they always outperform stock imagery. If you are short on photos, I use professionally licensed images to fill the gaps. For the writing, I can draft the copy from a conversation about your business, and you review and approve it before anything goes live.

A template is the same layout thousands of other businesses are using, and a builder locks your site inside its platform. A hand-coded site is written from scratch for your business, loads faster, is cleaner for Google and AI tools to read, and belongs to you outright. You get something one-of-a-kind instead of a rented template.

Yes. Every site is built mobile-responsive from day one, not adapted at the end, and it is tested across phone, tablet, and desktop sizes. Most visitors to a local business site arrive on a phone, so mobile is treated as the primary experience rather than an afterthought.

Yes. I build bilingual English and Spanish sites with native-level translation, not machine-translated text, and visitors switch languages with a single tap. Texas has a huge Spanish-speaking community, so this lets you serve those customers without maintaining a second website.

Yes. Custom contact and request forms are standard, and they are built around the specific information your business needs to collect, whether that is the vehicle, the project type, or the job details. Scheduling tools can also be integrated so customers book a time directly. Submissions arrive in your email, with no dashboard to check.

Yes. Many OTM projects are rebuilds of sites that were outdated, slow, or stuck on an expensive platform. The result is a fresh custom-coded site that you own outright, with no subscription carried over from your old setup.

Every site is built with search-ready structure: proper headings, fast load times, mobile responsiveness, descriptive page titles, and structured data that search engines and AI tools can read. That is a strong foundation. Actual ranking also depends on your reviews, your Google Business Profile, and time, so it is a foundation rather than an overnight guarantee.

Yes. All work is done remotely, so your location makes no difference. OTM is based in Kyle, Texas and works with clients across Texas and anywhere in the United States. You talk directly to me the whole way through, by phone, email, or message.

Service and local businesses of nearly any kind. Past work includes mechanics and auto shops, contractors and construction, bakeries and food businesses, backflow and trade services, translation services, photography, and retail. The design changes to fit the business; the standard of the work does not.

Every build includes a 30-day edit window from the payment date for changes to wording, images, colors, or layout. After that window closes, you can book another 30-day edit window for a flat $50 whenever you need updates, with no contract and no ongoing commitment.

Every build carries a lifetime code warranty. If something breaks or malfunctions because of a flaw in the code, I fix it at no charge, with no time limit. That warranty covers defects in the delivered work, which is separate from new changes or added features. I stand behind my work and will never hand off a defective product.
