How a hire plays

See yours first.

A homepage made for your company. Forty-eight hours. You click it before anyone sends a bill. Then $49 a month to keep it live — on LocalFave.org first.

The board

Five frames. Then you decide.

Same sequence the studios use: brief, concept, your call, launch, care. The stills are live work. The last frame is the bill.

  1. 01 — Brief

    Tell us.

    Two minutes. What you sell. Who it is for. What a good week looks like.

  2. 02 — Concept

    See yours.

    One homepage. One revision. Forty-eight hours. $0. You create a login first.

  3. 03 — Cut

    Your call.

    Approve it. Or walk. No invoice until you say go.

  4. 04 — Live

    We launch.

    You go live on LocalFave.org first. A custom domain later, if you want one.

  5. 05 — Care

    Stay cheap.

    $49 a month. That $49 comes back as 49 minutes you can read before they are billed.

After you have seen it

What it costs after you have seen it.

The numbers sit here on purpose. The mockup is free. Care is $49 a month. Extra work is $60 an hour, billed by the minute. How a launch works lives on the Details page.

$0Homepage mockup. One concept, one revision, 48 hours. You create an account first. No account. No mockup. No invoice until you approve a build.
$49/moCare for the live site: hosting on LocalFave.org first, then a custom domain if you want one, plus the certificate and email forwarding. 12-month minimum, then month to month.
$49comes back every month as studio-time credit — 49 minutes toward changes and new work.
$60/hrfor work beyond the credit. Billed by the minute on your private log. You can read the minutes before they are billed.
588 minin year one from $588 of care ($1 = 1 minute at $60/hr). Unused minutes roll over. Pass-through fees do not buy minutes.
$5/moper real inbox. $3/mo each when you have six or more. Forwarding is already in care.
ShopifyYour care plan plus Shopify’s Basic rate as a pass-through (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 run a demo so you can see the minute cost first.
In the $49

What care includes.

This is the monthly plan after you approve the mockup and we launch. You go live on LocalFave.org first. Hosting stays with us while you are a customer.

  • Hosting on servers Joseph runs
  • Live first on LocalFave.org — yourname.localfave.org. A custom domain later, if you want one.
  • A domain we register and manage when you want one
  • TLS certificate
  • Email forwarding (hello@yourdomain)
  • Backups
  • 49 minutes of studio time each month
  • Every minute on your private bill
  • A test copy of the site before anything goes live
  • SEO work billed as studio minutes, not a separate fee
  • When you leave: the domain transfers to you and you get a full download of the site
What we build

What the studio can do.

Custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No page builders. Joseph builds. Darren sells. Arlington, VA.

  • Business sites and landing pages
  • Booking and services pages
  • Online stores — Shopify or Square, as scoped
  • Web apps and databases (orders, customers, inventory)
  • Photos and files that load on a phone
  • Custom design from the approved mockup — not a theme catalog
  • A layout you can click before anyone pays (account required)
  • Larger builds (AI features, overnight jobs, extra tracking) scoped before work starts
Against other shops

How this differs from a typical web shop.

Other studios publish their own rates. This table is about the working arrangement — not a quote we invented for them.

JBNX Typical agency Template host Freelance marketplace
Mockup After you create an account. One concept, one revision, 48 hours. $0. A proposal or paid discovery first. A theme catalog. No custom mockup. Portfolio screenshots from other clients.
Who you talk to Joseph builds. Darren sells. A project manager, then a rotating team. A chatbot, then a ticket. Whoever bid. They may disappear.
Monthly $49 = host + domain + certificate + forwarding + 49 minutes. Host is a separate bill. Hours show up later. Host only. Edits are extra or not offered. No retain. You pay again to find them.
Extra work $60/hour, billed by the minute on your private log. A rate card you see after the change request. A theme-store plugin or an upgrade plan. A new quote. A new wait.
When you leave The domain is yours. You download the site. Sometimes. Ask in writing. Export is limited or none. If they still answer.
Next

Create an account. Then ask for the mockup.

No account. No mockup. One concept, one revision, 48 hours. You decide after you see yours.
