We design and build sites that look sharp, load fast, and make it easy for visitors to call, book, or buy. No templates with your logo dropped in. Best for: - Local service businesses that want more calls and quote requests. - Growing companies whose site no longer matches the quality of their work. - Teams that want to update their own pages without calling a developer. What clients get: - A custom design built around your business and your customers - Pages written to show up in Google searches - Clear ways to contact, book, or request a quote on every page - Simple editing so your team can make changes - Launch, hosting setup, and a walkthrough of everything Pricing: - Every site is quoted as a fixed price after a short call. You know the full cost before we start. - The price depends on how many pages you need, how much writing we do, and any special features like booking or online payments. Questions: - Q: Can I update the site myself? A: Yes. We set it up so you can change text, photos, and posts without touching code. We'll show you how before launch. - Q: Will it help people find me on Google? A: We build every page so search engines can read it clearly, and we write titles and descriptions for the searches your customers make. Rankings take time, but you start on solid ground. - Q: Do you write the words too? A: We can. Many clients give us the facts and we turn them into clear, friendly copy. You approve everything before it goes live. - Q: What if I already have a site? A: We can redesign it, move your content over, and make sure your old links still work so you don't lose the traffic you've built. ### Web apps URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/services/web-applications Sometimes off-the-shelf software just doesn't fit. We build web apps that do exactly what you need: customer portals, booking systems, directories, dashboards, and internal tools your team will actually use. Best for: - Businesses stuck juggling spreadsheets and too many apps. - Founders with an idea for an online product or platform. - Teams that need a private tool their customers or staff can log in to. What clients get: - A working app built for your exact process - Secure logins and the right access for each person - A clean, simple screen design people can learn fast - Room to add features later without starting over - The full code and accounts, owned by you Pricing: - We price the first version as a fixed project once we agree on what it includes. - After launch, you can add features as separate fixed-price projects or keep us on a monthly plan. Questions: - Q: Who owns the app when it's done? A: You do. You get the code, the accounts, and the documents. You're never locked in to us. - Q: Can you work on an app we already have? A: Often, yes. We start by looking through what exists and give you an honest plan before changing anything. - Q: How do you keep it secure? A: Logins, permissions, and data handling are planned from day one, and we review anything that touches personal details or payments. - Q: Will we see progress before the end? A: Yes. We share working versions as we go, so you can click around and steer early. ### Mobile apps URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/services/mobile-apps Getting an app into the store is the easy part. Making one people open again next week is the real work. We design and build apps for iPhone and Android that feel fast, friendly, and familiar. Best for: - Businesses that want customers to book, order, or track from their phone. - Founders launching a new app idea. - Companies whose website already works and want a mobile companion. What clients get: - One app that runs on both iPhone and Android - A design that feels at home on each phone - Help getting listed in the App Store and Google Play - The behind-the-scenes system that stores and syncs data - Updates and fixes after launch, if you want them Pricing: - Apps are priced as fixed projects once we agree on what the first version includes. - Store fees from Apple and Google are paid by you directly, so you own the listings. Questions: - Q: Do I need two separate apps? A: No. We build one app that works on both iPhone and Android, which keeps cost and upkeep down. - Q: Can you get it into the app stores? A: Yes. We prepare the listings, handle the review process, and release the app under your own developer accounts. - Q: What happens after launch? A: Most small fixes can be sent straight to people's phones. Bigger updates go through a normal store release, which we manage for you. - Q: Will it work without internet? A: Where it matters, yes. We can plan for parts of the app to keep working offline and sync later. ### AI systems URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/services/ai-pipelines AI can be a real help when it's pointed at the right job. We build AI tools that read documents, answer common questions, sort incoming requests, and draft first passes, with checks in place so you can trust the results. Best for: - Teams buried in forms, emails, or documents that someone has to read by hand. - Businesses that answer the same customer questions every day. - Leaders who want to try AI without betting the business on it. What clients get: - An AI tool aimed at one clear, useful job - Answers that point back to your own documents - Checks that catch mistakes before they reach a customer - A simple view of how it's doing and what it costs to run - Your data kept private and under your control Pricing: - We often start with a small, fixed-price trial on your real examples. If it works, we quote the full build. - Running costs depend on how much it's used. We show you the expected monthly cost before launch. Questions: - Q: Will it make things up? A: We design it to answer from your own information, show where each answer came from, and pass hard cases to a person. - Q: Is our data safe? A: Your data stays under your control. We use services that don't train on your information, and we limit who can see what. - Q: What does it cost to run each month? A: It depends on how often it's used. We measure it during the trial and give you a clear estimate up front. - Q: Do we need a big budget to start? A: No. Starting small on one task is the smartest way to learn what AI can do for you. ### Automations URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/services/business-automations Every business has jobs someone has to remember: copying leads into a spreadsheet, sending the same follow-up email, building the Monday report. We connect your tools so those jobs happen automatically and reliably. Best for: - Owners who spend evenings on admin instead of the business. - Teams that type the same information into two or three systems. - Companies where leads slip through the cracks because no one saw them in time. What clients get: - A clear map of the manual work you do today - Your tools connected so information moves on its own - Alerts when something needs a person's attention - A plain-English guide to what runs and when - A system you own, with no surprise per-task fees Pricing: - Automations are quoted as fixed-price projects, usually grouped into one clear package. - Some tools you already use may charge their own fees. We point those out before we start. Questions: - Q: What kinds of things can you automate? A: Lead follow-ups, form-to-spreadsheet copying, invoices and reminders, reports, and syncing between the tools you already use. If it's repetitive and follows rules, it's a good candidate. - Q: What if something breaks? A: We build in alerts, so you hear about a problem right away instead of finding out weeks later. - Q: Will it work with the tools we already have? A: Almost always. Most modern tools can talk to each other. We'll confirm before we quote. - Q: Do we have to change how we work? A: As little as possible. The goal is to fit around your team, not the other way around. ### Branding URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/services/branding-and-assets A brand is more than a logo. It's the colors, type, and voice that make people recognize you at a glance. We create brands that look great everywhere, from a business card to a billboard, and give you the files and rules to keep it consistent. Best for: - New businesses that need a strong look from day one. - Established companies whose brand feels dated or all over the place. - Teams that keep making graphics from scratch and want a system instead. What clients get: - A logo with versions for every size and use - Your colors, fonts, and style in one simple guide - Ready-to-use templates for social posts, slides, and documents - All the files, in every format you'll need - A brand that carries straight into your website Pricing: - Brand projects are fixed-price, based on how many pieces you need, from a logo refresh to a complete kit. - Pair it with a website and we'll plan both together so they launch as one. Questions: - Q: Do you only do logos? A: We can, but most clients get more value from the full kit: logo, colors, fonts, and templates that work together. - Q: Can you refresh our current brand instead of starting over? A: Yes. Sometimes a careful update keeps what people already know while making it look current. - Q: Will we own the designs? A: Yes. Once the project is paid, the logo and all brand files are yours to use however you like. - Q: Can our team make new graphics after you're done? A: That's the goal. We give you templates and a simple guide so new work stays on brand. ## Who we help ### Home services URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/home-services Websites for HVAC, plumbing, roofing and contractors that get named by Google and AI, answer every call and book the job. Fixed price, you own it. The problems we solve: - "I'm paying for leads three other guys also got." Lead apps sell the same homeowner to several contractors. It becomes a race to call first, then a race to the lowest price. ($7.2M: The FTC ordered HomeAdvisor to pay over how it marketed its leads to contractors. Source: Federal Trade Commission, 2023, https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/01/ftc-order-requires-homeadvisor-pay-72-million-stop-deceptively-marketing-its-leads-home-improvement) What we build: Your calls. Nobody else's. A site that brings homeowners straight to you. One customer, one business, one price conversation. Every month it costs you less per job. - "Google and ChatGPT answer the question. The customer never sees my site." People now ask AI who to call, and it names a couple of businesses. If yours isn't clear and current online, it skips you. (45%: of Americans now use AI tools like ChatGPT for local recommendations. A year earlier it was 6%. Source: BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2026, https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/) What we build: Be the name the answer gives. We lay out your service area, licenses, reviews and prices so Google and AI tools can read them, trust them and recommend you. - "Every call I miss on a ladder is a job the other guy gets." You're on a roof or in an attic. A homeowner with water on the floor won't leave a voicemail. They call the next name. (85%: of callers who don't get an answer won't call back. Home service businesses miss 14% of calls.

Missed calls get an instant text with a link to book. Your site takes requests at 2am and hands you a full schedule by morning. Questions: - Q: I paid for a website before and nothing changed. Why is this different? A: Because we build for booked jobs, not looks. Every page has one job: get the call or the booking. We can track every call and form, so you see exactly what came in. - Q: Am I locked into a contract? A: No. You get a fixed price up front, and you own the domain, the site and everything on it. If you ever leave, it all goes with you. - Q: Do I still need Angi or Thumbtack? A: Maybe for a while. The goal is that your own site brings in enough work that you choose to use them, instead of needing them. - Q: I don't have time for a big project. A: You'll spend about an hour with us up front and a few minutes on reviews. We write the copy, take care of the tech and launch it. - Q: How fast can it be live? A: You get a launch date with your fixed price, before any work starts. How long depends on how many towns and services you cover. ### Medical & dental URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/medical-dental Websites for independent medical and dental practices: recommended by Google and AI, 24/7 online booking and trust before the first visit. Fixed price. The problems we solve: - "Patients ask ChatGPT for a dentist, and it sends them somewhere else." Patients now ask AI who to see. If your hours, insurance and doctors aren't clear online, it guesses or skips you. (47%: of patients have used AI to find a provider. Two in three of them got wrong information. Source: rater8 Patient Choice Report, 2026, https://rater8.com/2026-patient-choice-report/) What we build: Be the practice AI recommends. Your services, insurance, hours and doctors laid out so Google and AI tools get them right and send patients to you. - "The phone rings off the hook, we miss calls, and they book somewhere else." Your front desk is checking people in. A caller who hits voicemail just calls the next practice. (34%: of people give up entirely when they can't reach a practice by phone. Source: Survey of 1,000 US adults commissioned by Zocdoc, 2025, https://www.zocdoc.com/resources/blog/article/closing-the-booking-gap/) What we build: Booked at 10pm. No call needed. New patients pick a real time from their phone, any hour. Fewer calls, fewer no-shows, a fuller morning. - "They see our reviews and our old website, and pick the place down the street." Patients judge a practice the way they judge a restaurant: stars, replies, and how it looks on a phone. (55%: of patients have canceled or avoided booking a provider because of online reviews. Source: rater8 Patient Choice Report, 2026, https://rater8.com/2026-patient-choice-report/) What we build: Earn trust before they walk in. Real faces, real reviews and clear answers up front, plus a nudge for happy patients to leave a review. Questions: - Q: We paid for a pretty site before and got no new patients. Why is this different? A: Because every page is built to book, not just to look nice. We can track bookings and calls, so you see exactly what the site brings in. - Q: Is online booking safe with patient information? A: We keep medical details out of ordinary website forms and connect booking to the scheduling or patient tools you already use, or help you choose one built for healthcare. - Q: Who owns the site if we part ways? A: You do. Domain, site and content are yours from day one. No lock-in, no hostage fees. - Q: Can it work with the software we already use? A: Usually, yes. Tell us what you run today and we'll show you how booking and forms fit around it before you commit. - Q: How long until it's live? A: You get a launch date with your fixed price, before any work starts. It depends on how many services and locations you have. ### Law & professional services URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/law-professional Websites for law firms, CPAs and advisors that get cited by Google and AI, cut what you pay per lead and book consultations after hours. Fixed price. The problems we solve: - "Google and ChatGPT answer the question, and we never get the call." People ask AI their legal and tax questions now. They read the answer, and someone else's firm gets named. (58%: fewer clicks go to the top result when Google shows an AI Overview. Source: Ahrefs study of 300,000 keywords, 2026, https://ahrefs.com/blog/ai-overviews-reduce-clicks-update/) What we build: Be the firm the answer names. Plain-language answers to real client questions, under real attorneys with real credentials, so AI and Google cite you. - "We pay more for every lead, and half of them go nowhere." Ad prices keep climbing while fewer people click through for free. You end up renting attention you used to earn. ($9.87: average cost per click for legal search ads. The average across all industries is $5.42. Source: LocaliQ Search Advertising Benchmarks, 2026, https://localiq.com/blog/search-advertising-benchmarks/) What we build: More consults from the same budget. A site that turns the visitors you already pay for into booked consultations, and builds the free traffic that comes from your name. - "Someone called at 7pm, nobody answered, and they hired the next firm." People expect fast answers now. The firm that responds first and clearly usually wins, and small teams can't cover nights. (40%: of law firms answered the phone when a mystery shopper called. Only 25% called back. Source: Clio Legal Trends Report, 2024, https://www.answeringlegal.com/blog/four-takeaways-from-2024-legal-trends-report) What we build: Booked at 7pm. Ready by 9am. Your site books and qualifies new inquiries around the clock, so the team starts the morning with scheduled consults. Questions: - Q: We paid for SEO before and got a report, not clients. Why is this different? A: We build for booked consultations, not rankings on a report. We can track every call and form, so you see what the site actually brings in. - Q: Will it follow our bar's advertising rules? A: We write with the usual rules in mind (no guarantees, required disclaimers) and you approve every word before it goes live. - Q: Does this work for CPAs and advisors too? A: Yes. The problems are the same: AI answering questions, costly leads, and inquiries that come in after hours. - Q: I don't have time to manage a web project. A: You'll spend about an hour with us up front and a few minutes on reviews. We write it, build it and launch it. - Q: Who owns the site? A: You do. Domain, site and content are yours from day one, with a fixed price up front and no lock-in. ### Restaurants & retail URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/restaurants-retail Websites for restaurants, cafés and local shops that take orders without app fees, keep your hours right on Google and AI, and bring people in. The problems we solve: - "The apps take 30% of every order, and they keep my customers." Delivery apps sit between you and your regulars. They take a cut of every order and keep the customer list. (58%: of customers would rather order delivery straight from the restaurant than through an app. Source: NCR Voyix Customer Experience Report, 2025, https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/most-customers-prefer-ordering-delivery-direct-restaurant-ncr-voyix/738397/) What we build: Orders direct. Margin kept. Regulars order, book and buy gift cards from you. You keep the money and the customer list, and can invite them back. - "Google and ChatGPT send people elsewhere, or tell them we're closed." People ask AI where to eat and get one answer. If your hours and menu aren't clear online, it guesses, or skips you. (83%: of restaurants never show up in ChatGPT's answers. On Google, 14% are missing. Source: Local Falcon study of 189,905 results, 2026, https://www.localfalcon.com/research/the-ai-visibility-crisis-why-83-percent-of-restaurants-dont-exist-in-chatgpt) What we build: Your hours, right everywhere. One clear home for your hours, menu and location that Google, Maps and AI tools read, so they recommend you instead of guessing. - "They look us up, can't read the menu, and walk to the place across the street." Almost every visit starts with a quick look on a phone. A blurry PDF menu loses them in seconds. (40%: of diners look at the menu online before they go. One in five now asks AI where to eat. Source: Reputation and Nielsen survey of US diners, 2025, https://reputation.com/press-room/new-reputation-survey-reveals-how-ai-and-economic-pressures-are-rewriting-the-rules-of-dining-out-in-america/) What we build: One tap from looking to ordering. A real menu with photos, and one-tap call, directions, order and book. Lookers become customers. Questions: - Q: Do I have to quit the delivery apps? A: No. Keep them for new customers if they help. The goal is that your regulars order from you, so more of each order stays yours. - Q: Can I change hours and the menu myself? A: Yes. You update hours, specials and prices yourself in minutes. No waiting on us. - Q: I paid for a website before and nothing changed. A: We build for orders, bookings and visits, not just looks. We can track what comes in, so you see it working. - Q: Does this work for shops, not just restaurants? A: Yes. Boutiques and local shops get the same thing: accurate hours, a real catalog, pickup or delivery, and gift cards. - Q: Who owns the site and the customer list? A: You do. Domain, site, content and every customer contact are yours, with a fixed price up front and no lock-in. ### Real estate URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/real-estate Websites for real estate agents that reply to every lead in seconds, bring seller leads you own with no referral fee, and get you named by AI. The problems we solve: - "They filled out my form, and by the time I called back they'd hired someone else." Buyers and sellers message several agents at once. Whoever answers first usually gets the job. (59%: of sellers hired the first agent they talked to. For buyers it was 47%. Source: Zillow Consumer Housing Trends Report, 2025, https://zillow.mediaroom.com/2025-12-30-Zillow-report-Online-research-now-shapes-how-most-agent-relationships-begin) What we build: Answered in seconds, day or night. Every inquiry gets an instant text and a link to book a call or showing straight into your calendar. - "Zillow owns my clients and takes up to 40% of my check." Portals rank above agent sites and charge a referral fee on every deal they hand over. (40%: of your commission: the Zillow Flex referral fee in many markets. Source: Mike DelPrete, real estate tech analyst, 2023, https://www.mikedp.com/articles/2023/10/12/zillow-flex-fee-rises-to-40-percent) What we build: Leads you own. No referral fee. Your own site ranks for your neighborhoods and 'what's my home worth', so sellers come straight to you. - "People ask ChatGPT for the best agent in town, and my name never comes up." AI answers 'who should sell my house' before anyone clicks. Template brokerage sites give it nothing to quote. (82%: of Americans use AI for housing information. Two in three of them use ChatGPT. Source: Realtor.com survey, 2025, https://www.parealtors.org/blog/82-of-americans-use-ai-for-housing-market-information-says-realtor-com/) What we build: Be the agent the answer names. Neighborhood pages, real sold homes, reviews and plain answers to local questions, so AI and Google cite you. Questions: - Q: My brokerage already gives me a website. Why pay for another? A: Brokerage templates look like every other agent's, rarely rank, and stay behind if you switch. Your own site builds your name, not theirs. - Q: Can it show my listings? A: Yes. We can connect an IDX feed through your MLS's approved provider, so listings stay current on their own. - Q: I paid for a website before and never got a lead. A: We build for booked calls and showings, not looks. We can track every inquiry, so you see exactly what the site brings in. - Q: Who owns it if I change brokerages? A: You do. Domain, site and content are yours from day one, with a fixed price and no lock-in. - Q: How long until it's live? A: You get a launch date with your fixed price, before any work starts. It depends on how many neighborhoods you cover. ### Fitness, salons & wellness URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/fitness-wellness Websites for gyms, studios, salons and spas that take bookings and deposits 24/7, keep new clients off commission apps and get recommended by AI. The problems we solve: - "If they can't book me at 10pm they book someone else, and the ones who do don't always show." Clients expect to book anytime, like everything else. Phone and DM booking misses them while you're with a client. (71%: of regular salon clients have skipped booking because it was too hard to reach someone or book online. Source: Zenoti survey of 1,000+ US salon and spa clients, 2025, https://zenoti.com/thecheckin/salon-booking-survey-data) What we build: Booked at 10pm. Deposit included. A Book now button on every page, a card on file and automatic reminders. The empty chair gets paid for. - "The apps take a cut and keep my clients." Booking apps charge to 'find' clients who then belong to the app. Instagram reach depends on an algorithm you don't control. (30%: of a new client's first visit is what StyleSeat and Booksy charge for clients their boost features bring in. Source: StyleSeat fee comparison, 2026, https://www.styleseat.com/blog/styleseat-vs-booksy-fees-plans/) What we build: Your clients. No commission. New clients book on your site, so they're yours: no fee, and their details stay with you. - "AI and Google recommend the studio down the street." People ask AI for 'best pilates near me' or 'balayage near me'. Instagram-only businesses give it little to go on. (45%: of Americans now use AI tools like ChatGPT for local recommendations. A year earlier it was 6%. Source: BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2026, https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/) What we build: Be the name the answer gives. Your services, prices, neighborhood, photos and reviews laid out so AI and Google recommend you by name. Questions: - Q: My booking app already gives me a free page. Why pay for a website? A: That page belongs to the app, looks like everyone else's and can charge you for clients who found you. Your own site is yours, and new clients stay yours. - Q: Can it work with Mindbody, Vagaro or the tool I use now? A: Usually, yes. We connect the booking tool you already run, or help you pick one that takes deposits and sends reminders. - Q: Can I update classes and prices myself? A: Yes. You change schedules, prices and offers yourself in minutes, without waiting on us. - Q: Who owns the site and the client list? A: You do. Domain, site, content and every client contact, with a fixed price up front and no lock-in. - Q: How long until it's live? A: You get a launch date with your fixed price, before any work starts. ### Auto services URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/auto-services Websites for independent repair, tire, body and detail shops that book jobs while you work and earn trust with clear prices and real reviews.

Most shops still depend on whoever can pick up. (73%: of car owners would likely book online if their shop offered it. For 18 to 34s it's 82%.

Online booking, quick quote requests with a photo, and a text back on every missed call. - "People think every mechanic's out to rip them off. They want reviews and a price first." Drivers compare shops online before they call. No prices, no photos and no reviews looks like something to hide. (55%: of vehicle owners say comparing service costs online is very important. Source: Cox Automotive Service Industry Study, 2025, https://www.coxautoinc.com/insights/new-cox-automotive-study-finds-dealerships-have-lost-12-of-service-visits-to-competition-since-2018/) What we build: Trusted before the first call. Price ranges for common jobs, real reviews, photos of real work and your face on the page. - "Google and ChatGPT answer 'how much is a brake job', and my shop never comes up." AI now answers repair questions and recommends shops. If your site doesn't spell out services, prices and area, it can't name you. (45%: of Americans now use AI tools like ChatGPT for local recommendations. A year earlier it was 6%. Source: BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2026, https://www.brightlocal.com/research/local-consumer-review-survey/) What we build: Be the shop the answer names. A page for every service with clear answers, price ranges and your area, so AI and Google recommend you. Questions: - Q: My shop software already has a booking widget. Why a website? A: Great, we'll connect it. The widget takes bookings; the website is what turns searches into them. - Q: Do I have to post prices? A: Ranges are enough, and you control them. Even 'brakes from $189' builds more trust than 'call for pricing'. - Q: I paid for a website before and the phone didn't ring. A: We build for booked jobs, not looks. We can track every call, quote and booking, so you see what comes in. - Q: Who owns the site? A: You do. Domain, site and content are yours from day one, with a fixed price and no lock-in. - Q: How long until it's live? A: You get a launch date with your fixed price, before any work starts. ### Studios & venues URL: https://www.gridhooks.com/for/studios-venues Websites for recording, photo and podcast studios and venues that book sessions with deposits online, keep marketplace fees and sell your rooms. The problems we solve: - "I spend all day answering DMs, and half of them never book or don't show." Clients expect to book a slot like they book a ride. 'DM for rates' loses them, and no deposit means no-shows. (25%: of studio sessions cancel or no-show without a deposit. With one, it drops to about 10–15%. Source: Dojo Business recording studio estimate, 2025, https://dojobusiness.com/blogs/news/recording-studio-utilization-rate) What we build: Booked and paid while you sleep. Live availability, instant booking and a deposit at checkout. No more 'DM for rates'. - "Peerspace takes a fifth of every booking, and the client is theirs, not mine." Marketplaces rank well, so you rely on them. Then repeat clients rebook there and the fee comes out every time. (20%: Peerspace's host service fee runs 15–20% of every booking. Source: Peerspace host fee terms, https://www.peerspace.com/legal/terms/fees-overview) What we build: Repeat clients, no cut. Clients rebook on your site, so the fee and their contact details stay with you. - "People ask Google or ChatGPT for a studio near them, and we don't come up." AI shortlists studios before anyone clicks. Real room photos, gear lists, clear rates and reviews decide who makes it. (58%: fewer clicks go to the top result when Google shows an AI Overview.

You change rates, rooms and open hours yourself in minutes. - Q: Who owns the site and the client list? A: You do. Domain, site, content and every client contact, with a fixed price and no lock-in. - Q: How long until it's live?
