Watch one night on this street
A high street at night: a barber, a café, a bakery, a florist, a flooring showroom, a bike shop and a dog groomer, all with their windows lit

Shutter down. 17 customers still came in.

Seven shops, one night, no one at the till. That is what a website that books, sells and answers does while you sleep.

The honest noteThe lease is signed before you know whether anybody comes, and it is the one cost that does not care how the month went. But the chair model is the reason this reaches a real ceiling: each chair is a unit, and units are what let a business grow past one pair of hands.

Questions people ask us

How much does a website for a small business cost?

LaunchKit is €390 excluding VAT, one-off, live in about a week: the website, your Google Business Profile, domain and email, and a 30-day launch plan. Bigger sites are €790 and €1,490.

How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT and Google AI answers?

Make your details readable by machines: opening hours, prices, address and services written as text and as structured data, AI crawlers allowed in robots.txt, and a short llms.txt. Our free check tests all of it in 10 seconds.

I already have a website. Do I need a new one?

Usually not. The Visibility Fix (€149, 48 hours) fixes what stops Google and AI assistants from reading the site you already have.
