The problem

People are searching for a bar right now. Do they find yours?

When someone on Rainey or Sixth types "bars near me," Google shows the places with real photos, current hours and a good website first. Austin is a tourist town, so that search is where a lot of your new customers start. Everyone else gets scrolled past, even if their drinks are better.

No website, or one that's years out of date
Blurry customer photos are the first thing people see
Wrong hours on Google send customers to your competitor
No time to deal with any of it while running the place

Who you'll work with

Hi, I'm Rob.

I've been building websites since 2007. These days most of my work is for Austin bars and lounges, because I've watched too many good places lose customers just because nobody could find them online.

I'm based in Austin and I drive out to you. You'll get my cell number, not a call center. And if you're not a computer person, that's fine. That's my job.

Questions

What owners ask me

Is the preview really free?

Yes. I build a working preview of your site and send you the link. If you don't want it, you don't pay anything and I won't keep bugging you.

What does it cost if I like it?

It depends on how big the site needs to be. A neighborhood bar with a drink menu costs less than a club with events every week. You'll get a straight price in writing before anything starts, and payment is half up front, half when the site goes live.

Is there a monthly fee?

Yes, a small one. It covers hosting, keeping you on Google, your Google listing, and any changes you need. You text me, I make the change.

I'm not good with computers. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most of my clients never log in to anything. You call or text, I handle it.

I already have a website. Can you redo it?

Sure. I'll look at what you have and tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing or replacing. The preview shows you what it could look like.

Which parts of Austin do you cover?

All of it: Rainey Street, East and West Sixth, Red River, the Warehouse District, East Austin, South Congress and North Austin. I come to you.
