Your website should be
making you money.
Most don't.
I build you one that does — free. $19/mo founding rate to keep it live, and you own it all.
Most small businesses don't have a design problem.
They have a follow-through problem.
Either there's no site at all, or there's one someone built once and never touched again — slow, dated, and quietly making the business look smaller than it is. Meanwhile the platforms that promise to fix it lock you into their tools and own everything you build.
Built free.
Yours to keep.
Nothing locked in.
I build small businesses a genuinely good-looking, fast website — free — and a low flat monthly keeps it live. Here's exactly how it works and what you walk away owning. Live in 7–10 days.
A professional site, built free
Fast and mobile-first, built around one job: getting the form filled or the phone dialed. No upfront cost, no 12-page nonsense, no stock photos of someone else's family.
A clear way for visitors to reach you
Click-to-call, a clean contact form, your hours and service area — built in, so the people who land on your site actually get in touch instead of bouncing.
Kept live, and yours to keep
The flat monthly covers hosting, updates, and changes — you text me, it gets done. Your code and domain are yours. Cancel anytime and take it with you.
No "powered by" footer
Looks like a real company, not a template — and there's no lock-in. Texts go to me, not a ticket queue.
Room to grow
An AI chatbot, instant lead alerts, missed-call text-back — optional add-ons I'm building, ready to bolt on when you are.
Most platforms own what you build.
Here, you do.
The all-in-one platforms hand you a site you can't take with you — leave, and you walk away empty. Stonecrest is the opposite: free to build, a flat monthly to keep it live, and your code and data are yours the day you start. Cancel anytime and take everything.
General comparison of common options, not specific vendors. Terms vary — always check what you actually own before you sign.
One simple price.
Right on the page.

Hi, I'm Zach.
I answer every message myself.
Stonecrest Digital is a one-person web design and lead-capture shop for small businesses. I build the site for free, keep it live for a low flat monthly, and you own everything. I started it to build something real while studying Mechanical Engineering, and I keep the client list deliberately small so every business I work with gets direct access to me.
Before this, I spent two years doing service work in Norway — an experience that taught me a lot about showing up, working hard, and treating people with care and respect. I bring that same mindset to every client I work with.
When you hire Stonecrest, you're not calling a call center or waiting on a team you've never met. You're hiring me directly — someone who takes pride in the work and stands behind every job.
"I'd rather be the small shop that actually answers than the big one that makes you feel like a ticket number. Your site is built by one person — and that person is the one you'll be texting."
— Zach Anderson, founder
Down the road, add a lead system.
Your free website is the whole offer right now — nothing below is required. But if you ever want it, you'll be able to add an AI chatbot, lead alerts, and missed-call text-back so an unanswered call still turns into a booked job. Here's a quiet preview of what that could look like.
- T + 0sThey call. You're on a job.Voicemail picks up — and the add-on notices the missed call.
- T + 30sA text goes back automatically.A quick SMS goes out in your voice, so the caller hears from you even when you can't pick up.
- T + 1mIt answers, ballparks, offers a time.Set up with your real pricing and calendar, so it knows what to say and what not to promise.
- T + 1m 30sThe job lands on your calendar.Confirmation, reminder, and a heads-up text to your phone — so you see the new lead when you get a minute.
We're new on purpose.
Stonecrest is a small business helping other small businesses. We don't have a stadium of logos to throw at you, and we'd rather you knew that up front. Here's what we do have.
A live demo site you can click through
A real, working demo site — fast, clean, mobile-first. Open it and break things. This is the kind of website I'd build you, free.
A short, honest look at your current setup
Got a site or a Facebook page? Send it over and I'll tell you 2–3 things I'd fix first and what they're likely costing you. No 40-slide PDF. No commitment.
Founding clients, and I'll say so
You'd be one of my first. I keep the list small on purpose, and I'm honest about that — early clients get my full attention in exchange for a real testimonial down the road.
What people
actually ask.
Don't see yours? Email zach@stonecrestdigital.com. I write back, usually within the hour.
Yes. There's no upfront cost to design and launch your site. You pay a low flat $19/mo founding rate that keeps it live, updated, and supported. No setup fee, no big check to get started. The $19 founding rate is for early clients — standard rate will be $39–49/mo later, and founding clients keep $19 for good.
No catch — I'm building my portfolio. I'm building sites free at a $19/mo founding rate until I land my first clients, because I want a small set of happy clients and real case studies, not a pile of one-off projects. The monthly keeps the lights on and your site maintained. You own your code and domain, so it's not lock-in — you can leave whenever you want.
You own your code and your domain, full stop. That's the difference between this and the all-in-one platforms — leave one of those and you walk away with nothing. Cancel here and I hand over your site files and domain. No retention call, no friction.
No, and anyone who does is selling. A website doesn't create demand out of thin air. What I'll do is build you a genuinely good-looking, fast site that makes the visitors you do get trust you and reach you. If you have zero traffic and zero customers, a site alone won't fix that, and I'll tell you so.
Two of these you can have today as optional paid add-ons: an AI chatbot (+$19/mo) that answers visitor questions and captures leads, and ongoing SEO blog content (+$29/mo). The free build is still the website itself — the add-ons are extra if you want them. Instant lead alerts and missed-call text-back that turns a missed call into a booked job are still coming soon, but your site is built so they bolt right on when they're ready.
Every site is built fast and well-structured, so it's on solid SEO footing from day one. Beyond that, SEO is a long game — so I offer ongoing SEO blog content as a +$29/mo add-on to help you climb over time. What I won't do is promise overnight rankings; anyone who does is selling. Want the add-on, or want to keep it to the base site? Your call.
Small businesses, broadly — if you serve customers and need a website that makes you look credible, you fit. Restaurants and cafés, retail shops, fitness studios, real estate agents, consultants and professional services, plus local service trades like pressure washing and HVAC. The free-build deal is the same whatever you do. Not sure you fit? Ask.
7–10 days from when you complete onboarding. The faster you send content, the faster it ships. No 6-week kickoff phases.
A free website.
Yours to keep.
15-minute call. I'll look at where you are now, show you exactly what I'd build, and explain the flat monthly. No upfront cost, you own the code, cancel anytime. If it's a fit, you're live in 7–10 days.
