You didn't want a website builder. You wanted a website.
You've got a business reason to have a site — clients to win, credibility to hold, inbound to catch. What you don't have is a free weekend to become a web designer, or the appetite to babysit a page for the rest of its life. So here's the deal: I build your site, and I keep it running. You never open a dashboard again.
The two ways this usually goes — and why both leave you stuck
You end up on Squarespace, paying for a plan and a domain, and then it hands you the tools and a weekend of homework. Weeks later you've got a half-finished page you're a little embarrassed by and a subscription you're paying anyway.
Or you hire a freelancer, drop a couple thousand on a build — and then they vanish. The site's live, but the moment anything needs to change, or breaks, or falls behind, you're on your own. It rots. Fixing it means starting the hunt over.
Each one fails exactly where the other wins. Nobody does both.
I do both. Agency-quality site, built for you — and kept sharp, watched, and handled every week after. For less than the freelancer, without the weekend.
What you get
- A clean, single-page site, built to your specs. Your domain, your design direction, your copy, your images. Live in days, not weeks.
- A real person watching it every week. That's me — Shane. I check performance, catch bugs before you do, and send you a short read on how it's doing and what I'd improve.
- An email that reaches me. Want a headline changed, a photo swapped, a line rewritten? Send it. It gets done. No tickets, no portal, no "please allow 5–7 business days."
- Analytics and search, set up right. Google Analytics and Search Console, configured and quietly working, so your site is measured instead of guessed at.
- Code you own. It's built on clean, standard code — yours to keep. Stay because it's handled, not because you're trapped.
How it works
1. We spin you up
Quick conversation about who you are and what the site needs to do. I handle the domain, the design, the words, the images.
2. You go live in days
You review, we tighten, it ships.
3. I keep it running
Every week I'm watching, reporting, and improving. Any change you want, you email — and it's handled.
4. You get on with your work
Which was the whole point.
Sites like these
Real sites, built and handled the same way yours will be.
Inner Assembly
In a private preview while the client finishes their launch.
$300 to build. $200/month to keep it handled.
Six-month minimum, because good management is a relationship, not a transaction — and cancel anytime after. When you go, you take your site with you: I hand over the repo, no hostage situation.
That's it. No plan tiers to decode, no upsells buried in a dashboard, no surprise renewal. Want more than the base? The upgrades below are the whole list, out in the open — none of them required.
Compared to the alternatives you already know:
- Cheaper than the freelancer — and unlike the freelancer, I don't disappear the day it launches.
- A fraction of the time Squarespace costs you — because the time isn't yours. It's mine.
Optional upgrades
The base covers most people. When you want more, add it when there's a reason — and whatever we add gets watched and handled the same as the rest of your site. The $200/month already covers that.
Another page
A second page, built to the same standard and folded into the same weekly watch. An about page, a services page, a page for the thing you launch next.
Pricing at launch
A block of hours
For work bigger than an email: a new section, a landing page for a launch, a rework of what's there. You buy the block, you say what it goes toward.
A newsletter, wired in
A signup form on your site and a clean place to send from. Your list is yours, same as your code.

A lean CMS
For when you want to publish yourself — posts, listings, updates — without touching code or waiting on me. It's Sanity, on its free plan — I add it to your site and configure it, $200 one-time. Here's exactly what that buys:
- An editor wired into your live site. Write, hit save, it's live. No code, no deploy step, no plugin sprawl to maintain.
- The layout it feeds, built to match. The index and the entry page, styled like the rest of your site, so what you publish looks like it belongs there.
- A walkthrough, so you actually use it. I set it up and show you how it works, end to end. Forget a step six months later? Email me.
- Watched like the rest of the site. Everything you publish falls under the same weekly check, the same fixes, and the same reporting as the page itself.
Without it, every change goes through me. A headline or a photo is an email and it's handled — that's the base plan. But a run of posts or listings isn't email-sized work, so it comes out of an hour block, and it goes live when I get to it. The CMS is what lets you skip the ask.
The hour blocks and the lean CMS are live in checkout — the links are right on the cards. Another page and the newsletter still price at launch: mention them when you get in line and I'll fold them into your build.
Founding cohort — first 10 only
I'm taking my first ten clients at a locked-in rate of $200/month, guaranteed even when the price goes up for everyone after. You get in early, I get to build something worth referring, and your rate never moves. When these ten are full, this offer's gone.
A few honest answers
- Is this really just for a one-page site? Yes — and on purpose. Most people don't need more; they need one page that's sharp, credible, and actually maintained. Want more later? We scale the budget and do more. Start simple, grow when there's a reason to.
- Who's actually behind this? Me. Shane Gring — a fractional operator who's spent 15 years running websites, analytics, and digital operations for founders and companies. This is the same machinery I run for clients, pointed at your personal site. When you email, you're emailing me.
- What do you use to build it? Good tools, used fast — so my actual time goes into managing and improving your site every month, not grinding out code by hand. The build is quick by design. The handling is where a person shows up, and that's what you're paying for.
- What if I want to leave? After the six months, cancel whenever. You keep the site — I hand you the repo and you can take it anywhere. No lock-in, no drama.
- Who is this not for? If you love tinkering with your own site, or you've got more time than money, Squarespace is genuinely the right call. This is for the opposite person: time-poor, allergic to homework, wants it handled by someone who knows what they're doing.
Your site, handled — for good.
Stop paying for tools you have to operate yourself. Stop hiring people who vanish. Get a site that's built well and stays that way.
Handled. $300 to build, $200/month to keep it running.
