  • Mobile-ready, with tap-to-call and directions.

About

Street Level Web is me, Jake: a college student in Austin who loves building websites.

A lot of my favorite places, like the barber, the taco truck and the shop down the block, are hard to find online or stuck with a site that falls apart on a phone. I build them something better and stick around after launch. You’ll always be emailing me directly, not a ticket queue.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Something not covered here? Email [email protected] and ask me.

Do I own my site?

Yes. Your words, photos and logo are yours, and your domain is registered in your business’s name. If you ever want to move on, I’ll hand over your site files and help you move.

What does Monthly Care cover?

Monthly Care is $150 a month and optional. It covers hosting, security and backups, domain renewal, and changes by email, with a weekly number of small changes we agree on when you sign up. A small change is something like new hours, a menu item, a photo or a line of text. Bigger additions, like a new page or online ordering, are quoted separately.

How do email changes work?

Email or text me what changed: new hours, a menu, a photo, a holiday closure. I make the edit, check it on a phone and desktop, and reply when it’s live. There are no logins or dashboards to learn. Small edits are usually live the same day.

What if I want to cancel Monthly Care?

There’s no long contract. You can cancel with a month’s notice. Your site and content stay yours, and I’ll help move your hosting so nothing goes offline.

Do I need to provide photos and writing?

Not necessarily. Send whatever you have, and I’ll help write the wording and choose photos. Real photos of your shop, your team and your work almost always look best, and I can suggest simple ways to take good ones on a phone.

How do we get started?

Fill out the form below or email me. Tell me a little about your business, and I’ll mock up your homepage for free. If you like it, I build it and get it live. If not, no hard feelings.

Get in touch

Let’s see your shop online.

Tell me about your business and I’ll send back a homepage design, free and with no strings. Not sure what you need yet? Just say so.
