Sites by ASSL is the simple managed-website on-ramp. We design it, host it, and update it when you ask. If the business later needs automation, a custom web app, or a full app, ASSL can scope that as a separate software build.
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy sell the same thing: a software subscription that lets you spend your evenings learning a page editor. The pitch sounds modern, but the math is the same as any other DIY tool. You're paying to do the work yourself.
The other option is a freelancer or agency. A real designer can make something good, then hand over hosting, updates, and the next time something breaks.
We thought there should be a third option. Build it once, run it for them, charge a flat monthly fee. No dashboard logins. No "your invoice is attached." When they want a change, they send a message and we make the change. When they want to leave, they take the domain and walk. That's it.
This is that third option. Sites by ASSL: managed websites for small businesses, designed in Norfolk, Nebraska, and positioned as the low-end on-ramp before custom software is needed.
Every capability below is something we actually deliver, not a list of buzzwords. If something you need isn't here, ask. If we can't build it well, we'll tell you up front and point you to who can.
Built with modern static-site tooling, served from a global edge network. Your customers wait under a second to see your page, on any device, anywhere in the country. Mobile responsive by default, with no separate "mobile version."
An About page, a Services page, a Contact page, location and hours, anything else you need. Designed with real typography and layout, not a template you've seen on twenty other sites in your zip code.
Submissions land directly in your email inbox. No portal to log into, no spam folder roulette. We handle the technical setup so messages from your customers don't get eaten by Gmail or Outlook filters.
For photographers, contractors, restaurants, and event venues: galleries that handle dozens or hundreds of images cleanly, optimized for fast loading. Send us photos by email, we put them up.
Want news, project updates, weekly specials, a recipe column? Write the post in your email, send it to us, and it's published the next business day. If you'd rather edit yourself, we can set up a simple editor with no WordPress, no plugins, and no security updates.
If your business takes appointments, we integrate a clean scheduling tool (Calendly, Cal.com, or your existing system) directly on your site. Customers pick a time, you get a calendar invite, no phone tag.
Up to about fifty products, with secure checkout through Stripe. Good for makers, specialty retailers, niche product lines. Not a full Shopify replacement. If you have hundreds of SKUs and shipping rules, we'll point you to the right tool.
Your site is backed up daily, served over HTTPS with a real certificate, and monitored for downtime. If something breaks, we know before you do. These are baseline expectations, not extras.
Clean structured data, fast load times, real meta tags, Google Business Profile linkage. We do the technical work that helps you show up in searches. We don't promise rankings, because anyone who promises rankings is selling you something.
Domain stays registered in your legal name from day one. We manage the DNS so you don't have to, but the domain is yours. If you ever want to leave, you take it with you. No buyout, no hostage situation.
Sites by ASSL is meant to stay accessible for small businesses without feeling disposable. Pick the tier that matches what you're building. You can move up later. The quote keeps setup, hosting, updates, maintenance, and support clear before work starts.
Use the form below or send an email. Tell us what your business is and what you're hoping for. There's no contract and no commitment at this stage.
A short call or email exchange. We figure out which tier fits, what content you have, what you need. If we're not the right fit for what you need, we'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Setup fee paid, work begins. We send drafts as we go and listen to feedback. The accepted scope controls the build and anything larger gets scoped directly.
Site goes live. Monthly billing starts. From here on, when you want a change, you send a message. When something breaks, we already know and we're fixing it. That's the whole point.
