Nº001 / Free Audit

Before anything gets built, we look at what is already there. The free audit runs up to 51 checks against your Google listing and your website, then says in plain language what a customer sees when they search for you.

It takes about twenty seconds. It does not need your website to be good. It does not need you to have one.

Free AuditAbout twenty secondsNo card, no call

What do people see when they Google you?

  1. 1 Type your business name and the town you work in.
  2. 2 We check your Google listing and your website, up to 51 checks.
  3. 3 You get a findability score and every problem we found, in plain language, with what the fix costs.

Free · No sign-up · Plain-English results

No card, no sign-up, no email needed. The whole report opens on the next page. If you want a copy in your inbox, you can ask for one there.

A few of the things it looks at, in plain language:

  • Nº01 Is the listing claimed, and are the hours right
  • Nº02 Does the phone number tap to call on a phone
  • Nº03 How long the site takes to load on a truck's signal
  • Nº04 Whether Yelp and Foursquare have you at the old address
  • Nº05 When the site last changed, against the Internet Archive
  • Nº06 Whether anything is asking a customer for a review

Most owners have never seen their own listing the way a customer sees it. Wrong hours, a phone number that will not tap, no photos since 2019, and a page that takes eleven seconds to open on a phone. The audit finds it, names it, and prices the fix.

Nº002 / Rescue

We fix the website your nephew built.

Scroll. That is a real small-business website on the left, and what we replace it with on the right.The first frame is a real small-business website. The second is what we replace it with. Same business, same phone number, same Tuesday.

◀ What they have What we build ▶

Same business. Same Tuesday. One of these gets the phone call.

Nº003 / Process

Live this month. Quoted first.

Four steps between the first phone call and a site that answers for you. The price lands after the first one and does not move.

  1. 01

    Talk

    Ten minutes on the phone about the business, and you have a straight price the same day.

  2. 02

    Design

    The site takes shape around your photos, your hours, and the things customers actually call about.

  3. 03

    Build

    One person builds the whole thing and writes the words, so nothing sits in a queue.

  4. 04

    Live

    A one-page site goes live in about two weeks, a full site in two to three.

Nº004 / Included

One number covers the whole job.

The quote is the price of a finished site, not a starting point. Here is what that number already covers.

  • The build, to order, no template
  • The words, written for you
  • The Google listing tune-up
  • A phone number that taps to call
  • Fast on a job-site signal
  • A contact form straight to your inbox
  • The domain and the files, in your name
  • One person to text after launch

Hosting and care is the one thing that is separate, from $40 a month, and it is optional.

Nº005 / Calls

The calls we actually get.

Different businesses, same stories. If one of these sounds like yours, that is exactly the point.

"My nephew built our website in high school. He's 26 now and doesn't answer my texts."

The Orphaned Website

We rescue stranded sites, or rebuild them, and then we stay reachable. One text, changes done same day.

"Google says we're permanently closed. We are not. I found out from my mother-in-law."

The Premature Obituary

One wrong flag can bury a business. We get the listing verified, corrected, and back on the map, usually within days. $150, done.

"Our menu online is a photo of the menu. Taken at night. At an angle."

The Crime Scene Menu

A real menu page people can actually read on a phone, updated whenever your prices change. One text and it's current.

"My husband says Facebook is our website. Facebook says my password is wrong."

Locked Out

We get you back into your own accounts, write everything down for you, and build a website that never forgets its password.

"The only admin on our Facebook page is a girl who quit in 2019."

The Ghost Admin

We recover the page, move the keys to you, and set up automatic replies so it answers customers even when nobody's watching.

"I pay $19 every year to renew something called a domain. I don't know what it does. I'm afraid to stop."

The $19 Mystery

That $19 is your address on the internet, and it deserves to point at something. We'll make it worth renewing.

Nº006 / Prices

The price list is the whole price list. It is quoted before the work starts and it does not move once it is agreed. No hourly billing, no retainer, no line item you did not ask about.

One‑Page.PKG

$950

One page, everything on it. For a business that needs to be found, trusted, and called.

  • One page, built to order
  • Copy written for you
  • Google listing tune-up included
  • Fast on any phone signal
  • Contact form to your inbox
  • Live in about two weeks
  • You own the domain and the files

Listing‑Rescue.PKG

$150 flat

Your Google listing claimed, corrected, and complete. Done in about a day.

  • Listing claimed or recovered
  • Hours, phone and address corrected
  • Categories and services set right
  • Photos up, Q&A seeded
  • Closed-by-mistake flags cleared
  • You hold the keys afterwards
See the listing rescue
  • Online storefrom $2,400
  • Site refreshfrom $550
  • Extra pages$150 each
  • Google listing tune-up$150 flat
  • Facebook front desk setup$199
  • Logos & brand kitsfrom $350
  • Hosting & carefrom $40/month

Take the one-page site if people mostly need your number, your hours, and a reason to trust you. Take the full site if you have services that need explaining. Either way the price is quoted before the work starts, and it is the price you pay.

Brand Kit

A brand kit puts every piece a business has never had in one folder. A logo that still reads at the size of a shirt pocket, a color set, a typeface, and files you can hand a sign painter without apologizing for them.

Brand‑Kit.PKG

from $350

Two to three weeks. Everything a small business gets asked for and never has ready.

  • Logo
  • Small-size and one-color variants
  • Color palette
  • Typeface pairing
  • Business cards
  • Sign and window artwork
  • Shirt and vehicle artwork
  • Social profile set
  • Print-ready files
  • One-page guide, so it stays consistent
Start a brand kit

The kit starts with the mark, works out to the colors and the type, then ends in the practical files: the sign, the shirt, the truck door, the card you hand somebody in a parking lot. By the end there is nothing left to improvise.

Nº007 / Work

Two of the sites that are live right now.

Real screenshots, taken this week, of pages you can open in the next tab. A salon in Benwood and a fabrication shop in St. Clairsville.

Mane Escape Studio homepage in a desktop browser

Mane Escape Studio / Benwood, WV

Hair salon. Services, the team, before-and-after work, suite rentals, a referral page, and online booking on every screen.

Open the site
Porterfield Fabrication Services homepage in a desktop browser

Porterfield Fabrication Services / St. Clairsville, OH

Fabrication shop. Capabilities, projects, about, and a project request form, built around the shop's own photographs of the work.

Open the site

Both are one tap away. Open them on your phone, find the number, try the booking. That is the test that matters, and it is the one we build for.

Nº008 / Tools

The parts that keep working after the site goes live.

A website is the thing people see first. It is not the only thing that has to answer. Most of what we build carries on doing its job on a Tuesday afternoon while you are under somebody's sink.

  • The front desk $199 to set up

    Your Facebook page answers on its own. Hours, directions, whether you are open Sunday, and a note straight to your inbox the moment somebody asks it something it cannot answer. It works at nine at night, which is when half of them ask.

  • The client portal

    One link and no password to remember. Send photos from your phone, ask for a change, see where the build has got to, and open your invoice in the same place. We email you a sign-in link when you need one.

  • The audit free, run it as often as you like

    The same 51 checks we run before quoting are yours to run any time. Listings drift. Hours go stale, a number changes, somebody flags you closed. Run it again in six months and find out before a customer does.

  • Hosting and care from $40 a month

    The server, the certificate, the backups, and the small changes. New hours, a new number, a new price on the board. One text and it is done the same day.

None of it asks you to learn anything. That is the whole point of building it this way. The work carries on while you are up a ladder.

Nº009 / Benefits

It is not complicated. It is just done properly.

Nº001

One person, start to finish

You will not be handed to an account manager. Whoever answers your first email is the person who builds the site, writes the words, and picks up when something breaks at nine on a Friday night.

Nº002

One price, quoted first

No hourly billing, no discovery phase, and no invoice that turns up larger than the conversation that produced it. A one-page site is $950. You have that number before a single hour is worked.

Nº003

Live in about two weeks

Most one-page builds go live within two weeks of getting your photos and your hours. A full site runs two to three. Nothing sits in a queue waiting on a committee to approve a shade of green.

Nº004

Built to be found

Every build ships with the Google listing tuned, the phone number tappable, and the pages light enough to open on a job site. Looking expensive is not the job. Getting called is the job.

Nº005

Yours, and portable

You own the domain, the hosting account, and the files. If you ever leave, you leave with all of it. Nothing is welded to a page builder you cannot log into and cannot export.

Nº010 / About

Your website is the first thing a customer sees, and most of the time it is the only thing they see before they decide whether to call. Getting one built is the hard part. An agency quotes five figures and takes four months. A freelancer goes quiet in week three. And the favor someone did you for free has a way of turning into a phone number that nobody picks up.

There is a better way.

Willow Creek Group is the web department for owner-operated businesses across the Ohio Valley and the counties around it. St. Clairsville, Wheeling, Steubenville, Cadiz, Cambridge, New Philadelphia, Marietta, Morgantown. One person builds the site, writes the copy, tunes the Google listing, and answers the phone afterwards.

Salons, restaurants, fab shops, contractors. Not startups, not other agencies. People who answer their own phone and know every customer by name.

A one-page website is $950. A full site starts at $1,850. You know the number before anything begins.

Working across salons, kitchens, shop floors and job sites, one person handles the whole build, so the site that goes live is the site that was quoted, on the day it was promised.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask on the phone.

Nº001What does it cost, really

A one-page website is $950. A full site of three to five pages starts at $1,850, and extra pages are $150 each. An online store starts at $2,400. Those are the prices, quoted before anything starts. The only thing that changes them is you asking for more pages.

Nº002How long does it take

About two weeks for a one-page site, two to three for a full one, counted from the day the photos and hours arrive. That last part is usually the hold-up, and it is worth getting ready before you call.

Nº003Who writes the words

We do, from a conversation with you. Most owners describe their business better in ten minutes on the phone than they ever manage in a form. You read it, you change what is wrong, and it goes live.

Nº004I already have a website and I hate it

A site refresh starts at $550 and keeps what works. If the bones are bad it is usually cheaper to rebuild than to keep patching, and the free audit will tell you which one you are looking at before you spend anything.

Nº005Do I own it

Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the hosting account is yours, and the files are plain files. If you decide to go elsewhere in two years you take the whole thing with you and nobody has to ask permission.

Nº006What happens after it goes live

Hosting and care starts at $40 a month and covers the server, the certificate, backups, and small changes like new hours or a new phone number. It is optional. Plenty of clients host it themselves.

Nº007Will it show up on Google

Every build includes the Google listing tune-up, which is the part that actually moves the needle for a local business. Ranking above a national chain for a generic search is a different job and a longer one, and we will say so rather than sell you a promise.

Nº008Can you take card payments on the site

Yes, that is the online store, from $2,400. It covers the products, the checkout, shipping settings, and getting the money into your account. If you only need deposits or a booking fee, say so, because that is far cheaper than a full store.

Nº009Where are you

St. Clairsville, Ohio. Most work is for businesses in Belmont, Jefferson, Harrison and Ohio counties, across the river in Wheeling, and out as far as Zanesville, Marietta, New Philadelphia and Morgantown. Anywhere inside about an hour and a quarter we will come and take the photographs ourselves, which is usually the difference between a good site and a great one.

Nº010What if I do not know what I want

Run the free audit and call. Between what the audit finds and ten minutes on the phone, the shape of the job is usually obvious to both of us, and you get a number the same day.
