One 20-minute call to talk through your business.
Websites for local businesses
A professional website for your local business, starting at $300.
Mobile-friendly, easy to share, easy to find — without agency fees or a required monthly plan. Built by one person who answers his own email.
Launch Sites from $300Modern·Reliable·Approachable·Growth-focused
Mobile-first pages that make phone, email, and booking actions obvious.
Copy that says what you do without sounding like a giant agency wrote it.
Simple handoff guidance so the site is easy to update after launch.
Launch
Live in roughly 1–2 weeks once content is ready.
Own it
You own the domain and accounts from day one.
No lock-in
No required monthly hosting plan on the standard setup.
One link
One reliable link for referrals, Google, and social.
Keep Facebook and Instagram
Keep your social pages. Give them a better place to send customers.
Your social pages can keep doing what they already do well: showing recent work, updates, reviews, and personality. A simple website gives customers one reliable place to confirm your services, pricing expectations, service area, FAQs, and how to contact you. It also gives referrals a clean link to share.

What I need from you
Rough notes are fine. Dave drafts and organizes the first version.
You don't need to write polished website copy or learn any website tools. Send your Facebook page, Google Business Profile, service list, contact details, and any photos you already have. Dave organizes the first draft and flags only the facts he can't verify.
One link or folder with photos, your Facebook page, GBP, or current site.
One review of the draft so you can flag what needs to change.
One consolidated list of corrections — no nitpick-by-email back-and-forth.
Founder-led
Built by someone who cares about clarity and reliability.
I'm David Fauci, and DaveTheWeb.guru is my practical web studio for local businesses. My background is technical, but the goal here is straightforward: build pages that load quickly, look credible on a phone, and make it easy for customers to contact you.

The work includes the visible site, the launch structure behind it, and practical post-handoff options when your business needs small updates later.
New small-business sites
A polished landing page, contact form, and about page built around the actions your customers already want to take.

Post-handoff support is available through prepaid blocks or separate quotes for menu changes, seasonal promos, photo swaps, and small edits.
Read morePricing
Start with a Launch Site, then add only what the business actually needs.
The default Cloudflare Pages setup is usually free for hosting. Domain renewal stays client-owned and separate, and larger requests are scoped before work starts.

Starts at $300
A polished one-page website for a local business that needs a credible, mobile-friendly online home.
Growth Site
Starts at $500

Custom Build
Quoted case by case
A custom scope for larger sites, unusual workflows, migrations, integrations, or more involved editing needs.
Launch Site starts at $300, Growth Site starts at $500, and custom work is quoted case by case. Simple extra pages, Google Profile help, admin options, and support blocks can be added when they fit the scope.
View full pricingWhat you actually get
Fast pages, real ownership, structured for search — without the jargon.
The engineering is real. It just shouldn't be the sales pitch. Here's what those choices mean for you as the business owner.
Pages open quickly on a phone
The first version stays lean so it loads fast on a phone, even on a coffee-shop Wi-Fi. No heavy page builder dragging it down.
You own the domain and accounts
Your domain stays in your name. The hosting account stays in your name. If you ever move on from Dave, the site can be handed to another developer — you are not trapped in a proprietary platform.
Built for search to find
Clean page titles, clear descriptions, and the launch hygiene Google and AI tools expect — so your business has a fair chance of being shown when locals search. No ranking promises.
Easy to update later
Small edits go through Dave, a prepaid support block, or an optional self-edit add-on. The site is not so complicated that a future developer can't pick it up.
How it works
A practical process for busy owners.
Quick call to understand your business, customers, and must-have actions.
A focused first version built around mobile visitors and clear calls to action.
Review, revise, and prepare the site for launch on a simple hosting setup.
Demo sites
A handful of examples for the types of businesses this is built for.
These fictional demo sites show how different local businesses can present services, trust signals, pricing, policies, and an obvious next step with a visual direction tailored to the customer they serve.

Who this helps
Built for local businesses where trust and the next step matter.
The same launch framework changes by industry. A salon needs consultation and service clarity. A repair shop needs proof and process. A mobile service needs service-area and access details.

Mechanics and repair shops
Diagnostics, trust signals, service categories, warranty notes, estimates, fleet support, and location details.
Mobile services
Service area clarity, booking steps, access requirements, policies, reviews, and convenience-focused copy.
Landscaping and home services
Estimate capture, maintenance plans, seasonal services, service-area targeting, gallery proof, and FAQ clarity.
Google-first local businesses
FAQ content, profile consistency, service descriptions, search-ready launch setup, and a clear next step for customers.
New owner-operated businesses
Founder story, credibility, scope boundaries, simple launch plan, handoff, and room to grow.

Is doing nothing still reasonable?
Sometimes the answer is yes. If your current setup brings enough work, customers can find accurate information easily, and referrals have no trouble reaching you, a website may not be urgent. It becomes useful when the same questions keep coming up in messages, social posts are carrying permanent information, or you want one professional link that works across Google, social media, text, and referrals. If Dave doesn't think you need a site yet, he'll say so on the call.
Start the conversation
Tell Dave about your business and what your first version should include.
Send the basics about your business, your current website situation, and the action you want customers to take first. Dave reviews it and follows up within 1 business day with the next step.
What happens when you reach out
- · Dave reads the form personally and replies to set up a short call by phone or video.
- · The call is about 15 minutes. Dave reviews your Facebook page, Google Business Profile, or current site beforehand so you don't have to walk him through the basics.
- · Rough notes are fine — you don't need to prepare anything technical or write polished copy.
- · No obligation, no same-call payment, no upsell. You'll leave knowing whether a simple site is enough, what it would cost, and whether doing nothing for now is the right call.
Messages go to hello@davetheweb.guru. No payment details, passwords, or private account credentials should be sent through this form. If you do not have a domain yet, that is fine; we can choose one together.
