A real website for your business, from a few questions.
Answer a few quick questions about what you do. We build you a personalized website that gets you online now — clean, mobile-friendly, and honestly good. No agency, no months of back-and-forth.
This is our streamlined starter tier — personalized to your business, intentionally simple. Perfect to get online now; you can always step up to a fully custom site later.
Your business, online
Everything a customer needs to find you and reach you.
The simple version
You shouldn't need an agency just to exist online.
Most local owners don't need a big custom build to start — they need a clean, trustworthy site that shows what they do, where they are, and how to reach them. That's exactly what Firstrung makes, from a short set of questions, for a price that isn't scary.
We kept it honest: this is a starter site, not a bespoke design project. That's the point. It gets you online this week instead of next quarter — and when you're ready to climb, there's a clear next rung.
What's included
Everything you need to get online
A tidy, mobile-friendly site personalized to your business — the essentials done well, nothing bloated.
Looks great on phones
Most of your customers will find you on a phone. Your site is built to look sharp there first, and everywhere else too.
Your hours, area & map
The things people actually search for: what you do, where you serve, when you're open, and how to get to you.
A clear way to reach you
A tap-to-call button, contact form, or link to your booking — whatever fits how customers already reach you.
A spot for your photos
Your work, your storefront, your team — a simple gallery so people can see you're the real thing before they call.
Ready for search
Built with the basics search engines look for — page titles, descriptions, and clean structure — so you're set up to be found.
Personalized to you
Your name, your trade, your colors and words — pulled from your answers so it reads like your business, not a template with the labels swapped.
How it works
Three questions in. A website out.
No design meetings, no jargon. You tell us about your business, we do the building, and you get a site you can put on a card.
Walk through every step
A few minutes at your kitchen table.
1 · Tell us about you
A short questionnaire — your business name, what you do, your hours, and a few personalization touches. About five minutes.
2 · We build it
We turn your answers into a personalized starter site — written, laid out, and ready to review. You'll see it, not a wireframe.
3 · You're online
Approve it, connect your name, and you're live — usually within about a week of getting your answers.
Straight with you
Genuinely good. Honestly a starter.
We'd rather tell you the truth than oversell. The starter site is personalized and real — but it's a streamlined tier, with a lower ceiling on customization than a fully bespoke build.
Read this before you buy. Your starter site is built from a set of questions, not a blank-page design process. It's tailored to your business and it's everything most owners need to get online — but if you want a completely custom design, deep custom features, or a big multi-page build, that's the custom tier, not this one. Start here with clear eyes.
