Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started, answered plainly.

Pricing & Plans

How much does a service business website cost? +

Three plans: a One-Page site at $29.99/mo, a 7-Page site at $39/mo, and a Multi-Page site at $79/mo. Each has a one-time setup fee ($99, $399, and $599 respectively). Want to start for $0 down? Contact me to learn more. Everything is included — design, sales-focused copywriting, SEO, hosting, and unlimited done-for-you edits. The 7 Page and Multipage plans also include a free branding package. No hidden fees.

What's the difference between the setup fee and the monthly fee? +

The one-time setup fee covers the full design, build, copywriting, any included branding, and launch of your site. The monthly fee covers hosting, security and maintenance, and any content updates you need going forward.

Are there any hidden fees? +

None. The setup fee and your monthly plan are the only charges. No fees for content changes, no maintenance add-ons, no annual renewal surprises.

Is there a contract? +

No. Every plan is month-to-month — cancel anytime with no penalty or cancellation fee. Your domain name always stays yours.

Can I upgrade my plan later? +

Yes. Start with a One-Page site and expand to a 7-Page or Multi-Page build whenever you grow — just reach out to Gabriel and he’ll walk you through the options.

What's included in the free branding package? +

The 7 Page and Multipage plans come with a free branding package, tailored to what your business actually needs. Depending on where customers find you, that can mean a logo, Yelp thumbnail graphics, a matching social feed template, Instagram Story highlight icons, and more — so you look polished and consistent across your website and every platform.

The Process

How long does it take to build my website? +

Most clients are live within 1–2 weeks of sending over your completed questionnaire and photos. Turnaround depends on how quickly you get your info to us — Gabriel’s side typically takes 5–7 business days once that’s in.

What do I need to provide? +

A short questionnaire covering your business name, services, service area, and contact details — plus your logo if you have one and a few photos of your work. That’s it.

Do I need to write my own content? +

No. Sales-focused copywriting — your headlines, service descriptions, about section, and FAQs — is included with every plan. You fill in the questionnaire and Gabriel writes everything from there.

Can I request changes after the site goes live? +

Yes. Once your site is live, just message Gabriel with anything you need — updated photos, new prices, seasonal promos. Unlimited edits are included in your monthly plan and are typically handled within 24 hours.

What technology do you build on? +

Your site is built with Astro, a modern performance-first framework, and Tailwind CSS, hosted on Cloudflare. Clean, lightweight code with no WordPress bloat and fast load speeds that help both user experience and Google rankings.

Design & Branding

Is my website custom-designed or from a template? +

Every site is custom-designed from scratch — not a template with your logo swapped in. The layout, colors, copy, and structure are built specifically for your business and the area you serve.

What if I don’t have photos? +

Not a problem. If you don’t have photos yet, Gabriel can source relevant stock in the meantime. Whenever you have real photos of your work, send them over and they’re swapped in at no extra charge.

Will my website work on phones? +

Yes. Every site is built mobile-first and tested across phones, tablets, and desktop — because nearly every booking starts on a phone mid-scroll.

Does the branding cover my social media too? +

Yes. On the 7 Page and Multipage plans, the free branding package gives you a consistent, professional look across your website, Instagram, and TikTok — so you look like the same legit business everywhere customers find you.

SEO, Google & AI

Will my website rank on Google? +

Your site is built with the full technical SEO foundation Google looks for: fast load speed, clean code, mobile responsiveness, keyword-structured content, optimized meta titles and descriptions, proper heading hierarchy, and a page for each service and city you serve. Ongoing campaigns like link building or blog content aren’t part of the service. There are no guarantees with Google rankings, but every site is built to give you the strongest possible foundation.

Can people find me through AI assistants like ChatGPT? +

Increasingly, yes. Clean, well-structured content is exactly what both search engines and AI assistants pull from when someone asks for a local pro. A real website makes you discoverable where people actually search today — not just buried in the social feed.

Do you set up my Google Business Profile? +

A Google Business Profile isn’t included in the standard plan, since it requires access to your Google account. But Gabriel will give you a clear checklist of exactly what to fill in and how to optimize it for local visibility — just ask.

Domain & Hosting

Can I use my existing domain name? +

Yes. If you already own a domain, Gabriel connects it to your new website at no extra cost.

What if I don’t have a domain yet? +

No problem. Gabriel will register one for you at no extra cost — registration and annual renewals are included in your plan, and the domain is yours.

Who owns my website if I cancel? +

Your domain name is always fully yours. This works like any subscription service (Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy): if you cancel, the site comes offline, but your domain stays with you and can point to any other host. We’ll help you move your content — no hostage situations, no penalties.

About Pixelsites

Who actually builds my site, and where? +

Gabriel, the founder, builds it himself — no faceless agency or offshore team. Nine-plus years crafting high-converting sites for SaaS, now aimed at local service businesses. Based in Los Angeles, serving clients across the USA and Canada.

Who is this for? +

Local service businesses — cleaners, landscapers, detailers, contractors, salons, and more — plus event pros like party rentals, DJs, and photographers. If customers find you by searching their city and your service, this is built for you.
