Monthly
One fee for the site and the care around it.
Static
Pages built to stay fast, with little to patch.
Yours
You keep the content, and a copy if you leave.
Local
A studio in Riverview, not a ticket queue.
How it works
Three steps, then we stay on it.
01
Tell us about the business
A free consult. What you offer, who it’s for, and what the site needs to do. If we’re the wrong studio, we’ll say so.
02
Review it in the browser
We design and build the pages, then you click through them before anything is public. Words and photos are still easy to change here.
03
Launch, then leave it with us
Hosting, SSL, backups, and content updates stay on the monthly plan. Send a new price or a fresh photo — or change the simple bits yourself.
The monthly plan
Everything the site needs, on one fee.
Design, launch, and the unglamorous work that keeps a site healthy. We don’t invent reviews, awards, or credentials — the facts come from you.
- Custom design
- Pages laid out for this business. Not a theme with the logo swapped in.
- Hosting
- Fast static hosting on the monthly plan, so there isn’t a second bill to remember.
- SSL
- HTTPS on your domain, renewed as part of care.
- A smaller stack
- Static pages and very little JavaScript. Fewer plugins, fewer Sunday-night security chores.
- Backups
- Copies of the site and the content, so a bad edit is recoverable.
- Content updates
- Prices, hours, photos, and seasonal notes, within the edit allowance on your plan.
- Edits
- Changes to existing content, done by us. On Growth, you can also edit text and photos yourself.
- Your content
- The domain and your Cloudflare account stay yours. Site code transfers free after 12 months, or for a set fee before that.
Why this, and not a builder
WordPress and DIY tools are fine. They’re a poor fit when you want the site off your desk.
Stay in a page builder if you enjoy tinkering. Choose a Pewter Pixel plan if you want finished pages and a person in Riverview who keeps them current.
| Topic | DIY builder | WordPress | Pewter Pixel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | The software is often cheap. Your time makes up the rest. | A real build is usually a large invoice. | $0 setup with a 6-month minimum, or $249 to go month-to-month. |
| Speed | Depends on the template, the apps, and the photos. | Plugins and a heavy theme often slow it down. | Static pages, aimed at a Lighthouse-style load: fast, and light to host. |
| Security chores | The product handles some of it, within its limits. | Updates, plugins, and spam are a recurring job. | A smaller stack. We watch it. |
| Editing | You do everything. | You can, if the admin stays tidy. | Send edits to us. On Growth, you can also change text and photos yourself. |
| When it breaks | Help docs and community forums. | You find someone to look. | You write the person who built it. |
| If you leave | Exports differ by product. | Possible, and often awkward. | You keep the domain, your Cloudflare account, and your content. Code transfers free after 12 months. |

Questions
Before the consult.
What does the monthly fee cover?
Design and build, hosting, SSL, speed monitoring, and the edit allowance on your plan. Hosting is included on every plan — there isn’t a second hosting bill.
The domain is registered at cost, in your name. We don’t add a markup. Email forwarding, the contact form, and the SEO setup listed on the plan are included too.
Is there a setup fee?
$0 setup when you take a 6-month minimum. $249 setup if you want month-to-month from the first day. After the minimum, the plan is month-to-month and either side can end it with 30 days’ notice.
Prepay a year and get 2 months free: $390 on Starter, $690 on Local Pro, $1,290 on Growth.
What is the founding-client offer?
The first 10 clients lock $29, $59, or $99 a month — Starter, Local Pro, and Growth — for life while they stay subscribed. Setup is $0, and the first charge is on launch day.
In exchange: a Google review, a testimonial, permission to feature the site as a sample, and a small “Site by Pewter Pixel” footer credit. Refer someone who stays 3 months and you get one free month.
What counts as an edit?
An edit is one change to existing content on one page, taking up to 30 minutes. That covers text, photos, hours, and prices. New pages, new sections, and new features are add-ons, not edits.
Unused edits don’t roll over. Send the request by email or the contact form. We do it within 2 business days, or within 1 business day on Growth.
How is this different from WordPress?
WordPress is a fair choice when you want a plugin for everything and someone on hand to update it. We build static pages instead: fewer moving parts, less to patch, and a site that stays fast because it isn’t carrying a theme-and-plugin stack.
You give up the giant plugin directory. You get a smaller site and a person who already knows how it was built.
Can I edit the site myself?
On Growth, yes — optional self-editing for straightforward text and photos. Starter and Local Pro edits come through us and count toward the monthly allowance. A new page or a new section is an add-on either way.
Who owns the domain, the content, and the code?
The domain and your Cloudflare account are always yours. The content you provide is yours, and we hand it over at no charge if you leave.
The site code transfers free after 12 months of paid service, or for $299 before that.
How long does a site take?
Send a logo, photos, and a service list within 14 days of signing. A small site often reaches a first review within a couple of weeks after that. Launch includes 1 round of design revisions, or 2 on Growth. It goes live when you approve the pages.
Who is this a fit for?
Independent businesses that need a credible site and don’t want to run it. Trades, salons, restaurants, clinics, law offices, and similar — mostly around Tampa Bay, since the studio is in Riverview. Distance isn’t a hard line when the work fits.
An online store, client logins, or a custom integration is quoted separately. Ask anyway. We’ll tell you if it sits outside the plans.
What happens if I cancel?
After any minimum term, you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. You keep the domain and your Cloudflare account. Your content comes with you at no charge. Site code transfers free after 12 months, or for $299 before that.
What if a payment is late?
The site pauses after 15 days past due. It comes back when the balance is paid.
Do you guarantee a Google ranking?
No. Plans include the SEO setup listed — titles, business info, a sitemap, Search Console, and on higher plans a Google Business Profile and local listings. None of that is a promise of a ranking, a map position, or a particular amount of traffic.
