What you get

What every Halo website comes with.

Same standard on every project — the work above, and everything below.

Custom design — no templates

Designed around your business and your customers. No Squarespace, no Wix, no drag-and-drop look everyone else uses.

Fast on every phone

Loads quickly and looks sharp on a phone — where most of your customers find you. Tested on real devices.

Easy to update yourself

Your photos, posts, and contact leads in one simple place you control. Change your hours or add a project anytime.

Built to get found

Set up so Google understands your business and your town, with a dedicated page for each area you serve.

Made to bring in work

Clear calls to action and easy ways to reach you — a layout that points people toward calling or booking.

Yours on full payment

Your domain, your site, your content — all in your name. If you ever move on, nothing is locked up.

Common questions

What people usually ask first.

How long does a website take?

A simple one-page site is usually 2–3 weeks. A bigger site with several pages is 4–6 weeks. You get a firm timeline with your quote.

What if I already have a domain?

Perfect — keep it. Wherever it is registered, we just point it at the new site. Nothing to transfer or buy again.

Do I need a separate hosting plan?

No. Hosting is included — you will not get a surprise bill from another company.

Can you move my existing site over?

Yes. We have moved sites off Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, and WordPress. Your content comes with you, faster and easier to edit.

Want yours next?

Email us what you've got — even a one-liner. We'll send back a clear plan and a fixed price within two business days.

No pressure. If we're not a fit, we'll tell you fast.
