We build fast, modern websites for small business owners. Send us your site and we'll send back a free redesign of your front page. If you like it, we'll build the rest and hand it to your website provider.
Every town runs on small businesses.
The shop that opens at 7 because that's when the contractors roll in. The diner that starts your order when it sees your truck. The car lot where the owner still answers the phone himself. These people are great at what they do. They're not web designers, and they shouldn't have to be.
But before a customer ever walks in, they look you up on their phone. If your site is slow, broken or stuck in 2009, they don't think "bad website." They think "maybe this business isn't very good," and they scroll to the next one. The phone just doesn't ring, and you never know why.
So we flipped the deal. We rebuild your homepage first, with your real name, photos and services, before you pay a dime. If you love it, we build the rest. If you don't, you keep the idea and we shake hands.
Do the real groundwork in your town?
You deserve a website as solid as you are.
You see your new homepage before you spend a dime.
Send us your web address, or we find you. We look at what's working and what's costing you calls.
You get a link to a fresh, modern version of your front page, with your real name, photos and services.
Love it? Pay securely through Square and you'll get a client login to follow along while we build out the rest. Not for you? Keep the idea, no hard feelings.
We send the finished site to you or your website provider with simple install steps. It lives on your hosting, under your account.
A website that works as hard as you do, on every phone, and is easy for customers to act on.
Most of your customers find you on their phone. Your site will look and work great there first.
No heavy templates. Pages open quickly, even on a weak signal.
Set up so Google knows who you are, what you do and which part of town you serve.
Quote requests, bookings and questions go straight to your inbox or phone.
We hand off standard website files with install steps. Most web hosts can put them live in an afternoon.
No monthly fees to us and no lock-in. You own every file, and your site stays with your own provider.
One price, paid once. We build it, you own it, and it lives with your own website provider. No monthly fees to us.
GroundWork doesn't host websites. Keep the website provider you already have, or pick any standard host you like, and we hand them the finished site. Payments go through Square, so we never see your card number.
Tell us where your business lives online. We'll send you a link to your redesigned homepage.
No website yet? Leave the address blank and tell us what you do. We'll start from scratch.
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask us.
Yes. We redesign your front page and send you a link to look at it. You don't owe anything to see it.
No. If you like the refresh, we'll quote the full site. If you don't, that's the end of it.
It depends on how many pages you need. We'll give you a launch date before we start.
You do. Your domain and your content belong to your business.
No. We design and build your site, then hand the finished files to your website provider with install steps. Your site lives on your own hosting account, and you never pay us a monthly fee.
Yes. Your domain and hosting stay right where they are. Your provider puts the new site up at the same address, so customers find you in the same place.
Tell us up front. All-in-one builders like Wix and Squarespace don't accept outside website files the way standard web hosts do, so we'll talk through your options before we start.
Securely through Square, after you've seen and approved your homepage refresh. Square handles the card details, so we never see your card number. Right after you pay, we email you a link to set up your client login, where you can follow your build and download your files.
Not at all. That's who we build for. You run the business; we build the website and give your provider clear steps to put it live.
