Why it costs less than an agency.

Agencies do good work — but a big part of what you pay for is the structure around the work: account managers, project managers, discovery workshops, approval rounds and internal handoffs. That's why a small-business site from an agency commonly runs into the thousands and takes a month or more, and why ongoing changes get billed separately.

TJS Design is built for the opposite. It's one person — Trevor Spencer — doing the strategy, design, build, SEO and launch, then keeping the site and your Google profile current all year. You talk to the person building your site, on one 30-minute call.

When an agency is the better fit

If you need a large site with dozens of custom features, a full brand identity project, ongoing paid-ad management, or a team on retainer, an agency may be worth the premium. For a local service business that needs a fast, professional site connected to its Google profile, it usually isn't.

Questions owners actually ask.

With TJS Design you choose how to pay: Own It ($999.99 upfront + $29.99/month), Balanced ($499.99 upfront + $79.99/month) or Zero Down ($0 upfront + $129.99/month). Each is a 12-month agreement that includes the custom website, hosting, management, up to one 30-minute call a month and a branded Google Business Profile post every week. Year-one totals are $1,359.87, $1,459.87 and $1,559.88. After year one, care continues month-to-month: Essential Care at $29.99/month or Premium Care at $79.99/month.
Own It has the lowest total cost — the more you pay upfront, the less you pay overall. Zero Down costs the most over the year but gets you started with nothing upfront. Every plan gets the same website and the same service.
Your plan moves to Essential Care at $29.99/month month-to-month automatically, using the card on file. You can upgrade or cancel anytime before your next charge by text, call or email. Premium Care ($79.99/month, month-to-month) adds a monthly call, bigger content changes and 24/7 support.
Every plan is a 12-month agreement. You can stop service anytime, but the remaining year-one payments are still due. Once year one is paid, the website is yours. See the Terms of Service for details.
Your domain name (usually $10–$25/year — you buy it so you own it, and I'll walk you through it on the intake call) and anything outside the website itself, like paid ads. Integrations such as online booking or payments are scoped on your intake call.
Through secure Stripe checkout on any page of this site — pick a plan, pay what's due today, and book your intake call in the same flow. Your card is saved for the monthly payments, and Stripe emails you a receipt for every charge.

Your Google profile is already getting looked at. Give it somewhere to send people.
