Your website should be an asset, not an expense.

We build WordPress sites for Richmond-area businesses to do one job: turn the people already searching for you into calls, bookings and orders. Every build ships search-ready and answer-engine-ready — structured so Google and the AI assistants can quote you — and laid out around the one action you want a visitor to take.

72-hour clock starts when your content and deposit are in. Fixed scope, fixed price, the same standard build every time.

How it works

Three days, four checkpoints.

Every build runs the same standardized track: fixed checkpoints, fixed scope, one consolidated round of changes. That is what keeps the price the price and the site on time.

Hour 0 · Kickoff

A 20-minute call

We go through what the business actually earns from, who you want calling you, and what a customer needs to see before they pick up the phone. That call sets the search terms we build around and the one action the site is designed to produce.

You: 20 minutes + a deposit
Hour 24 · Draft

Your site, first pass

We write the words, lay the page out around your primary conversion, place your photos and wire up the contact form and click-to-call. Page titles, heading structure, schema and internal links go in at this stage, not as an afterthought. You get a private preview link on a real address, not a picture of one.

You: look at it, mark it up
Hour 48 · Revisions

Your changes, made

Wrong hours, a headline that doesn't sound like you, a service we missed, a photo you hate. Send it all in one list and we work through it together. One consolidated round is what keeps a fixed-price build fixed, and it is the round most people use to sharpen the copy.

You: one consolidated list
Hour 72 · Live

Published and indexed

SSL on, sitemap and structured data submitted to Google, contact form tested end to end, Google Business Profile linked. Then a short walkthrough so you can change your own hours and prices without calling us.

You: a link to send people

Work & sample builds

Work and sample builds.

Two client sites, and six sample builds we made to show the range — a barbershop, a bakery, a lawn crew, a dental practice, a fitness studio and a shop. The six marked “sample build” are demos rather than client work; the process and the 72-hour clock are the same either way.

Eight complete sample sites you can click through — same standard as a paid build, on fictional businesses so nothing is off limits.

Pricing

Three standard builds. Fixed scope, fixed price.

One build fee, then a flat monthly that covers hosting, updates, backups and a set amount of edits. Every tier is standardized on purpose — that is what lets us quote honestly, deliver on time and hold the price where it is. Half the build fee up front, half at launch. No contract on the monthly, and you can stop with 30 days of notice.

Add-ons

Bolt on what you need.

Flat prices, quoted before we start. Anything outside your tier is an add-on, which is how the scope stays fixed and the quote stays true. Add any of these to any tier, before launch or years later.

Your address

Start on ours. Move to yours whenever you want.

Most people who put off building a website get stuck at the first step — buying a domain, picking a host, and hoping they chose right. So we removed that step. You can add it back the day it matters, and nothing you've built gets thrown away.

Path A · Start today

Launch on a subdomain

Your site goes live on an address under rvadigital.com. It's free with your plan, secured with SSL, indexed by Google, and works everywhere a web address works — business cards, Instagram bio, truck door, Google listing.

yourbusiness.rvadigital.com
  • Nothing to buy, nothing to renew
  • No DNS settings to get wrong
  • Live the day the build is finished
Path B · Whenever you're ready

Point your own domain at it

Buy a domain yourself for around $15 a year — or we'll buy and manage it for you. We repoint the site, redirect the old address so nothing breaks, and your search rankings come with you.

yourbusiness.com
  • $150 one-time to make the move
  • Old links keep working, permanently redirected
  • Or take the whole site elsewhere — export is free

Who we build for

Businesses that get found, called, and booked.

If a customer's next step is to call you, come to you, or order from you, this is built for you.

Barbers & salons HVAC, plumbing & electrical Landscaping & lawn care Food trucks & caterers Restaurants & coffee shops Therapists & counselors Photographers Boutiques & makers Cleaning services Personal trainers Tattoo studios Real estate agents Contractors & remodelers Mobile detailing Nonprofits & churches Consultants & coaches Event DJs & planners Daycares & tutors

Questions

The things people ask first.

What do I actually need to have ready?

Your business name, what you do, your hours, your phone number and email, and any photos you like. A logo if you have one. That's the whole list — if you don't have photos or written descriptions, say so on the call and we'll handle it.

Do I really not need to buy a domain?

Correct. Your site launches on yourbusiness.rvadigital.com, which is included and costs you nothing extra. Plenty of businesses run on that address for a year or more before they buy their own. When you want your own, it's about $15 a year plus $150 for us to move you — or you can buy and point it yourself for free.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes. Every site is built on WordPress and you get administrator access on day one, plus a recorded walkthrough of the handful of things most owners want to change — hours, prices, photos, a new service. If you'd rather not touch it, your monthly plan includes edit time; just send us what you want changed.

What does "72 hours" mean exactly?

Three business days from the moment two things are true: your deposit is paid, and your content is in our hands. If you send photos on Friday afternoon, you're live Wednesday. If the clock slips because we're behind, your build fee drops by 20%.

I already have a website. Can you take it over?

Usually. If it's WordPress, we can move it onto our hosting and pick up the maintenance. If it's on Wix, Squarespace or a builder that doesn't let you export, we rebuild it — often faster than untangling the old one, and we'll redirect your old pages so you don't lose search traffic.

What happens if I stop paying the monthly?

Give us 30 days' notice and we'll take a full export of your site — files, database, images, content — and hand it to you or your next developer at no charge. We don't hold sites hostage. The subdomain address stops working, because it lives on our domain, which is one good reason to move to your own name eventually.

Is the site built for SEO and AI search?

Every build ships SEO-ready and AEO-ready: titles, descriptions, clean heading structure, sitemap, Search Console, structured data, and your Google Business Profile connected. That groundwork is included in the build price. Ongoing SEO, AEO and GEO campaigns, content programs and paid advertising are run by our sister company, The Digital Hall, and we will introduce you when you are at the size where that work pays off.

How do payments work?

Half the build fee to start the clock, half the day it goes live. Card or bank transfer. The monthly plan starts on launch day and bills on the same date each month.
