Business tool setup

Some business tools require additional setup. Simple features may be ready to use as soon as I switch them on, while more involved services, such as payment integrations or product data setup, may have an additional one-time cost. I'll review what your business needs and provide a clear quote before work begins.

Already have a domain?

Your domain stays yours, in your control. I'll connect a domain you already own, or help you register a new one. Domain registration and renewal are paid to your registrar, separate from your Relay plan.

Client work

Real businesses. Real websites.

Three local businesses I've built websites for on Relay. No two look alike, because no two businesses are alike: a spice company, a water treatment company and a chiropractic practice each need something different from their website.

Built for local businesses like yours.

  • Retail shops
  • Makers and market vendors
  • Restaurants and food trucks
  • Contractors and trades
  • Salons and studios
  • Service businesses
  • Community groups

Inside Relay

The side of your website only you see.

Every Relay website comes with an admin made for the owner, not for a developer. Change your hours, post an announcement or update your menu, look it over, then publish when it's right. Try it yourself with a made-up bakery: nothing you do in the demo is saved or published.

  • Plain forms, written for business owners
  • Changes wait as a draft until you publish
  • Your own sign-in, so your admin stays private

How it works

From idea to launch, I keep it simple.

  1. 1. Tell me about your business

    I'll ask about your goals, your content and the tools you need.

  2. 2. I build your website

    Professional design, setup, domain connection and launch.

  3. 3. You manage it with Relay

    Update your content and use your business tools to grow.

Owner control

It's your website. You should be able to update it.

โ€œOne thing I really want with Relay is for you to be in control of your own website. If you need to change your hours, swap out a photo, update some text or make another everyday change, you'll be able to do that yourself without having to wait on anyone else.โ€
  • Business hours and holiday hours
  • Phone, email and location
  • Page text and announcements
  • Photos and galleries
  • Services, products and prices

About the builder

Getting back to my roots.

I worked in web development for over 20 years before leaving the corporate world for something more down to earth: woodworking.

Building my own software to run the shop, from projects and inventory to customers, pulled me right back into the web. Relay is that work, made for other local businesses: a dependable platform, and a real person who knows your site.

Frequently asked questions

Have another question? Ask me
What is the $300 build fee?

It's the Standard Website Build: a one-time fee for professional website design, setup, domain connection, configuration and launch, including testing on phones and computers. It includes your first 30 days of hosting, starting when your Coming Soon page goes live. Some business tools need more setup. Simple features may be ready to use right away, while more involved work, such as a payment integration or preparing product data, may have its own one-time cost. I'll quote that before any work begins. Custom development, large content moves and extensive writing or design are quoted separately too.

When does my monthly subscription begin?

Your initial website build includes your first 30 days of hosting, starting when your Coming Soon page goes live. After those 30 days, your regular monthly subscription begins. I'll continue making agreed improvements as your website develops. If you already have an agreement with me, your existing terms remain unchanged.

Can I move from Essential to Business later?

Yes. Moving from Relay Essential to Relay Business keeps your website, your business details and your photos, so nothing is entered twice, and there is no new website build fee. Some business tools need one-time setup, like connecting payments or importing products. If yours do, I'll explain the work and quote it, and nothing is charged until you approve it.

Do I need a new domain name, and who owns it?

You keep ownership and control of your domain. If you already own one, I'll connect it to your Relay site once I can reach its DNS settings. If you don't, I'll help you choose and register one. Registration and renewal are paid to the registrar, separately from your Relay plan.

Are there any additional costs?

No hidden fees. Your plan price is the whole monthly price, plus applicable sales tax, and plans are month to month with no long-term contract. Separate costs apply only when they fit your business: domain registration and renewal, payment processing fees charged by your payment provider, outside software subscriptions or services and additional custom or business tool setup work, quoted before it starts.

What can I update myself?

Your everyday content: hours, contact details, page text, photos, galleries and your services or products. You make changes in plain forms and preview them before they go live. Relay Business adds tools for running the business, like products and stock, and you keep those up to date yourself too.

Who owns my content?

You do. Your words, photos, logo and business information are yours.

What kind of support do I get?

Direct support from Jason, the person who built your site. When you have a question or need a hand, you reach me, not a ticket queue. Support covers your site and your Relay tools; new features and redesigns are quoted separately.
