how it works

From first message to launch, no mystery

Tell us about your business

Two minutes in the form below. What you sell, who your customers are, what success looks like.

~2 minutes

Get your free mockup or audit

A homepage design made for your company, or a 10-point teardown of your current site — so you can see the fit before you hire.

within 48 hours

Approve the mockup

Free mockup: one concept and one revision. When you approve, we launch — Site for $100 or App for $250 — then $20/mo care.

your call

Launch, then use studio time

We manage the domain and stack. Changes and build work use your included studio minutes; extras are prepaid credits on bill.jbnx.io.

12-month minimum
measured, not guessed

A website should make you money.
We measure whether it does.

Every site we run ships with tracking wired in from day one. You get a plain-English monthly scorecard — what moved, what it cost, what it earned. If we can't measure it, we don't sell it.

Search rankings

Google Search Console + rank tracking on the keywords your customers actually type. Position changes, month over month.

Bookings & leads

Booking-system integration (Square, Stripe, calendars) and form tracking — every appointment and inquiry counted and attributed.

Calls & clicks

Call-tracking numbers and click-to-call analytics tell you which page — and which ad — made the phone ring.

Ad-spend ROI

Google & Meta ads with conversion tracking to the dollar: cost per lead, cost per booking, what to cut next month.

Free 10-point website & SEO audit

Already have a site? We'll run it through a 10-point check — speed, mobile, SEO basics, local listings, and conversion blockers — and send you the findings in plain English. Free, whether or not you hire us.

automation

Our studio runs on software we built.

JBNX runs day to day on an internal work portal: every project has a live brief, work is claimed and tracked, deploys pass through gates, and costs are metered. Less overhead, fewer dropped balls.

We build the same systems for clients. If your business has repetitive work that software should be handling — reporting, data collection, follow-ups — we can build it on your own infrastructure.

Talk about automation
Work portal

Every project has a live brief, handover history, and a status API — status is queried, not guessed.

Accountability

Claims, decisions, and escalations recorded in Postgres. A real audit trail.

Cost control

Model calls go through one metered gateway — cheap models for routine work, expensive ones only when needed.

Security checks

Database automation strips unsafe permissions as soon as a new table or function appears.

Scheduled jobs

Background jobs collect data, watch sites, and post alerts to Slack.

Deploy gates

Changes ship to a test branch automatically; production moves through a single promotion gate.

pricing

Cheap to start. Studio time for the work.

Low setup, $20/mo care, free mockup (1 concept + 1 revision). All work is studio time, metered on bill.jbnx.io — see the public work log and the matching demo site. Your year total with us — excluding pass-through fees — becomes included minutes at $60/hr ($1 = 1 minute). Unused minutes roll over.

We own and manage the domain and stack so we can ship efficiently. Premium domains and third-party platform fees are separate.

  • Real inbox (not just forwarding)
  • Forwarding stays free with every deploy
  • Cheaper than typical Workspace seats

Shopify store

Shopify Basic pass-through · their rate may change
  • Your $20/mo care still applies
  • Shopify billed at their current Basic rate
  • Usually $29/mo yearly or $39/mo monthly
  • Does not add studio minutes

Square store

$100 setup
plus studio time · seller account is yours
  • We set up on your Square seller account
  • Custom domain we manage
  • Uses more studio time than a flat site
  • Demo run to show real minute cost
Ask about Square

Free domain = standard .com-equivalent cost; premium TLDs are paid by you. SEO (on-page work, local listings, ongoing optimization) uses studio minutes — it is not included in the $20/mo care fee. Large builds (AI features, cron jobs, analytics stacks, databases beyond a basic store) require consultation. After the 12-month minimum, cancel anytime — we transfer the domain (you pay the registrar transfer fee), send a site download, and shut down hosting and email. Nonprofits and veteran-owned businesses: ask about our discount.

answers up front

Questions everyone asks

Is the free mockup really free? What's the catch?

Really free — one concept and one revision. Fill out the intake form so we know the page type, the feel you want, and sites you like; that brief is what we design from. No invoice, no obligation. Extra design rounds after that use studio time.

What is studio time?

Studio time is the metered work on your site or app — updates, fixes, build, SEO, and setup beyond what's already included. It's billed at $60/hr by the minute on bill.jbnx.io (paired with demo.jbnx.io). Your year total with us (setup + care + our add-ons, not pass-through fees) becomes included minutes: $1 = 1 minute. Unused minutes roll over. Extra time needs prepaid credits on bill.jbnx.io.

Is SEO included in $20/mo?

No. Care covers hosting, TLS, and the domain/DNS we manage. SEO work — on-page changes, local listings, content for search, ongoing optimization — burns studio minutes from your included balance or prepaid credits.

Who owns the domain and the site?

We register and fully manage the domain and stack while you're a customer — that's how we keep launches and fixes fast. When you cancel after the 12-month minimum, we transfer the domain (you pay the registrar transfer fee), send a download of the website, and shut down hosting and email.

What's included in $20/mo?

Care for the live site: hosting, TLS, and domain/DNS we manage. Email forwarding is included; a real inbox is $5/mo per mailbox ($3/mo each when you have more than five). Studio minutes come from your year total — for example Site launch is $100 + $240 = $340 → 340 minutes in year one.

How do Shopify and Square work?

Shopify: your care plan plus Shopify's Basic rate as a pass-through (typically $29/mo billed yearly or $39/mo monthly — their price). That pass-through does not add studio minutes. Square: $100 setup on your Square seller account, plus studio time for the real work; we'll run a demo so you can see the minute cost before you commit.

What counts as a large / custom build?

Anything beyond a basic store or flat site that needs consultation — for example AI features, cron jobs, analytics stacks, or databases and workflows that aren't a simple launch. We'll scope it before work starts.
