Built first, paid for after

There's no deposit and nothing to sign. I build the whole site and put it live. You look at the finished thing before any money moves.

One price, everything in it

$59 a month covers the site, hosting, your domain, a proper email address, Google Business Profile setup and every change you ever ask for.

Changes done in 48 hours

New service, new prices, new photos. Email me and it's changed within 48 hours. No ticket system, no waiting months for a five minute job.

Who it's for

Any NZ business whose customers search locally

I started with lawn mowing companies because that's my trade. The same site works for anyone whose customers Google their trade or service plus their town, and ring the first one that looks legit. Tradies in a van, physios in a clinic, shops on the main street.

Full pricing details and what's not included

Stuart Clifford, founder of SiteMate and owner of Gecko Lawns in Hamilton
Who's building it

I'm a lawn mowing guy who got sick of waiting on web companies

I've run Gecko Lawns in Hamilton since 2007. For years I paid a big web company to build and host my website. It had no real Google presence, every change was a fight, and when Google was describing us as gardeners, which we never did, it took them six months to fix it. It was a five minute job.

Six months for a five minute fix. That's when I decided to learn it myself.

I rebuilt my own site. Then other lawn care companies asked me to do theirs. I've now built 70 websites and counting for small operators, and the one rule I keep is the one they broke: when you ask for a change, it gets done fast.

Questions

The things people ask first

What's the catch?

There isn't one. I build the site first because it's the fastest way to show you what you'd be paying for. If you don't want it, I take it down and we're square. If you do, it's $59 a month from then on.

Who owns the domain name?

You do. It's registered in your name. If you ever leave, the domain goes with you, and so does the Google Business Profile I set up. That one's my way of saying thanks.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. It's month to month. Cancel any time and the site comes down at the end of that month.

I've already got a website. Can you replace it?

Yes. Most of the sites I build replace an old one that's slow, hard to use on a phone, or sitting on page five of Google. I'll build the new one alongside your current site so nothing goes dark.
