02 / Proof

Three owners. Three straight answers.

Health and wellness businesses, Asheville and Buncombe County.

Every one of them had a website already. What changed was whether they were willing to send anyone to it.

People used to ring up and ask whether we were still open. Now they book before they call.

Owner

Massage & bodywork
West Asheville

I stopped apologising for our website before people looked at it. That is the part I did not see coming.

Owner

Acupuncture clinic
North Asheville

He built it, he still answers the phone, and it has not gone down once since we launched.

Owner

Yoga & wellness studio
River Arts District

Every one of these sites was designed and coded from a blank file. No theme, no page builder, no starter kit.

03 / Previous work

No case studies on this page. They live on their own.

04 / Who builds it

One person. First call to launch.

Dax Chatham, founder of Chatham Media

Founder-led from the first call to launch.

You will not be handed to an account manager, because there isn't one. I take the first call, draw the design, write the code and push it live. Nothing goes to a junior and nothing goes overseas. Most inquiries get a reply within one business day.

05 / The objection

We replicate every feature they offer.

Your brand identity does not fit inside Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy.

The features those platforms offer are genuinely good, and we replicate all of them on a custom site. Booking, forms, galleries, blogs, email capture. That is not the problem.

Two of these they genuinely do well. The other four are where the ceiling is.

What the platforms give you
A booking widget that genuinely works
Email capture that genuinely works
A theme four other businesses in town already use
Whatever the page builder allows
You keep it running
Generic SEO fields
What we build instead
The same booking, embedded in your page, in your colours
Sequences written for your list, approved by you before they send
A design drawn for your brand and nobody else's
Custom code — zero templates, no layout you did not approve
Hosting, SSL, CDN, daily backups and security, handled
Built to be found in Google and in AI search

Custom means the site is drawn around the business. Not the business squeezed into the site.

Too busy to schedule a call? Take the fully async route.

Every touch-point has an async option as obvious as the call.

You run a business during business hours. Every step here has a version you can finish at eleven at night on your phone, and the async route answers the same questions the call would.

No question here should require a phone call to get answered.

Start here — no call

Get your custom brand analysis video.

Plus the exact next steps, to finish on your own time.

I record a walkthrough of your current site, your Google profile, and the two or three shops people compare you to, then send it back with your next step written out. Watch it at eleven at night if that is when you have time. There is no call anywhere in this path unless you ask for one.

Step 01

Discovery form

Ten minutes, on your schedule. Your services, your prices, how you take bookings, and who you want walking through the door. This is the only homework.

Day 0
Step 02

Concept design

I draw the real homepage with your words and your photos in it, not a grey wireframe. Reply with notes by text. Nothing gets built until you like it.

Day 1–3
Step 03

Build

Custom coded, wired to your booking platform, pointed at the inbox or phone you actually check. You get a private link to watch it come together.

Day 3–10
Step 04

Launch

I quote 14 days and aim for 10. If you are not live in 10, you don't pay for the first month. After that, five updates a month, sent by text.

Day 10–14
Start the discovery form

No card, no call, no obligation at any step.

Option B — 20 minutes

Let's talk.

Twenty minutes. Camera optional.

You will be talking to me, not to a salesperson working from a script. I will have your current site, your Google profile and your two closest competitors open before we start, so you are not spending the call describing your own business back to me. Bring the site you have — I will tell you what I would change on it whether or not you hire me.

10 / Answers

What people ask before they call.

Answered properly, so the call is short — or unnecessary.

Q1

What does it actually cost?

$147 a month, and nothing to start. No build fee, no down payment, no setup invoice. Add-ons are separate and optional, and you can cancel any of them on their own.

Q2

Am I locked into a contract?

No. There is no contract and no agreement to sign. You are always one text away from canceling, and there is no cancellation fee or notice period.

Q3

How long does it take?

I quote 14 days and aim for 10. If you are not live within 10 days, you don't pay for the first month. The clock starts when the discovery form comes back, not when we first talk.

Q4

What do I have to give you?

Ten minutes on a discovery form, your logo if you have one, and whatever photos you already own. If your photos are thin I will tell you honestly rather than build a site with holes in it.

Q5

What if I hate it?

You see a designed homepage concept before a single page gets built, so the direction is settled while it is still free to change. After launch you have 14 days to ask for your money back and you do not have to explain why.

Q6

Do I own the site?

Yes. The design, the copy and the domain are yours. If you leave, the domain goes with you and I will point it wherever you want.

Q7

Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?

Because the theme decides your layout, your spacing, your type and your motion before you ever log in, and your brand gets whatever room is left. Every feature those platforms give you gets replicated here, on a site that did not exist before you.
