Website design
A good-looking website is great. A website that gets results is better.
Every website we build starts with your business goals, your customers' needs, and how people actually use the web. The result is a site that's easy to navigate, clear about what you offer, and designed to turn visitors into inquiries.
What goes into a LocalBuddy website
We focus on what we can control: thoughtful strategy, solid design, and good technical foundations. We don't promise specific rankings, lead volumes, or revenue — anyone who does is guessing.
- Website strategy and discovery
- Custom visual design
- Mobile-responsive development
- Clear messaging and calls to action
- Contact forms and lead capture
- Initial technical SEO and on-page SEO setup

Buy your website outright.
Pay for your website upfront and own the completed website under the agreed project terms. You decide how you want to host and maintain it after launch.
Projects are custom quoted according to page count, content requirements, functionality, integrations, and design complexity.
A standard website project may include
- Discovery and website strategy
- A defined number of core pages
- Custom design and responsive development
- Contact forms and lead capture
- Initial SEO setup
- Analytics configuration
- Testing, launch, and training
- A clearly defined number of revision rounds
The exact deliverables are specified in your proposal.
Request a Website QuoteA website partnership built around your business.
Get a professionally designed website with hosting, maintenance, and ongoing SEO through a predictable monthly agreement. We handle the technical details and help your website continue working for your business.
Website-as-a-Service is offered through custom quotations rather than a fixed package price.
Your monthly quote depends on
- Number of pages and content requirements
- Design and development complexity
- Required functionality and integrations
- SEO scope and competition
- Expected ongoing content changes
- Hosting and technical support needs
The service may include
- Website strategy, design, and development
- Managed hosting and SSL

- Defined content-change allowances
- Ongoing technical and on-page SEO
- Analytics and conversion monitoring
- Website health checks
- Reporting and scheduled strategy reviews
The exact inclusions, service limits, and deliverables are stated in each client's proposal. There's no unlimited revisions or unlimited development — just clear, agreed allowances.
You receive ownership of the completed website after all 36 scheduled payments are completed, subject to the signed agreement and applicable third-party licensing terms.
Before you commit, your proposal will clearly show
- Monthly payment
- Total contract value over the full term
- Included services and allowances
- Exclusions and additional charges
- Payment schedule
- Early termination terms
- Ownership transfer conditions
- Hosting and migration options after the agreement ends
Compare the two options
Website Ownership suits clients who want to pay upfront and manage their own ongoing services or purchase maintenance separately. Website-as-a-Service suits clients who prefer a monthly investment and ongoing support under a defined agreement.
| Website Ownership | Website as a Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Initial payment approach | Paid upfront under a custom project quote. | Predictable monthly payments over a 36-month term. |
| Ownership | You own the completed website under the agreed project terms. | Ownership transfers after all 36 scheduled payments, per the signed agreement. |
| Hosting responsibility | Your choice: our optional managed plan or a compatible provider. | Managed hosting and SSL included during the agreement. |
| Ongoing maintenance | Available through our optional annual plan, or handled by you. | Routine maintenance and backups included, within defined allowances. |
| SEO availability | Initial SEO setup included; ongoing SEO available separately. | Ongoing technical and on-page SEO included, as scoped in your proposal. |
| Support arrangements | Support during published business hours with the managed plan. | Ongoing support, health checks, reporting and strategy reviews. |
| Best fit | Businesses that want to pay upfront and manage ongoing services themselves, or add maintenance separately. | Businesses that prefer a monthly investment and an ongoing partner under a defined agreement. |
