Brent DeMartini
Websites for local businesses

Your website, built for you. Then it’s yours.

I’m Brent DeMartini. I design, write and build your site in Grass Valley, then hand it over. You own it, you can change it yourself, and you never pay me a monthly fee.

  • Fixed price, agreed before I start
  • First draft about two weeks after your deposit and photos are in
  • No passwords: you never hand me a login
Start this site

A sketch, not a template. Yours is designed from your answers.

What “handed over” means

Finished, then it’s yours.

You own the account

I build the site, then transfer it to your own Wix account, in your name.

You can edit it

Change prices, hours and photos with a drag-and-drop editor. I show you how on a short call.

You pay the platform, not me

Hosting and forms come with the Wix plan, about $17 to $39 a month, paid yearly, billed to you by Wix. Booking or payments need a higher plan.

No logins, no lock-in

I never need your email, bank or domain passwords. If you stop working with me, nothing breaks.

How it works

From the form to the handoff.

  1. Tell me about your business 15 min

    Fill in the project form. It covers what I need, so the call can stay short.

  2. Planning call 30 min

    We go over your answers together and agree on the pages and the price. A 50% deposit books your start date.

  3. Send your photos

    You get a private Google Drive upload folder as soon as you send the form. Add your logo, photos and anything from your old site.

  4. First draft about 2 weeks

    Two weeks after your deposit and photos are in, I send you a private preview link.

  5. Changes

    You tell me what to change, on the page or in a list. I make the changes.

  6. Handoff

    I transfer the site to your account, walk you through publishing it on your domain, and show you how to edit it. The balance is due at handoff.

Pricing

One price, agreed up front.

The price is set on the planning call, before any work starts. It does not change unless you add pages or features.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do I own the website?

Yes. I build it in my Wix account, then transfer it to a free Wix account you make. You accept the transfer from an email Wix sends you, then buy the Wix plan in your own account with your own card. The site, the plan and the domain are in your name, and you do not need me to keep it running.

Why Wix?

You can change text, photos, prices and hours yourself with a drag-and-drop editor, and forms, booking and email signups are built in. Prefer Squarespace? Say so on the form. Its plans and handover steps are different, so I go over them on the call before you decide.

What will I pay every month?

Only the Wix plan, billed by Wix to you, about $17 to $39 a month, paid yearly. Most sites need the lower end. Online booking or taking payments needs a higher plan. I do not charge a monthly fee.

Do you write the words?

Yes. I write every page from your form answers and our call, and you approve it before anything goes live.

I already have a website or a domain.

Keep your domain. Tell me where it is registered and I will show you how to connect it to the new site at handoff. Your old site stays up until the new one is ready.

Do you need my passwords?

No. I never ask for your email, bank, domain or social media logins. You add photos to a private upload folder, and the finished site is transferred to the Wix account you create.

How long does it take?

Three to four weeks from your deposit to handoff, if your photos and feedback come back within a few days. The first draft arrives about two weeks after your deposit and photos are in.

How do I pay?

Half to book your start date, half at handoff. I send a card invoice after the planning call, once we have agreed on the price.

Your site, your keys

Start with the project form.

About 15 to 20 minutes. You get your upload folder as soon as you send it.
