Your website,
handled.

We build small business websites for a flat monthly fee. We design it. We host it. We update it when you ask. You don't manage a dashboard, you don't wrestle with a template, you don't think about your website. That's the whole idea.

01The Idea

Most small businesses don't actually want a website builder.

Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy — they all 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 who can make something good — and a quote with a comma in it, plus a six-week timeline, plus a hand-off where you're suddenly responsible for 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, priced so a one-truck contractor or a side-business photographer can actually afford one.

02What We Build

Real websites that do real things.

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.

Foundation

A homepage that loads instantly

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 — there's no separate "mobile version."

Foundation

Pages that read well

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.

Contact

A contact form that actually arrives

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.

Content

A photo gallery your phone can fill

For photographers, contractors, restaurants, event venues — galleries that handle dozens or hundreds of images cleanly, optimized for fast loading. Send us photos by email, we put them up.

Content

A blog you update by sending us an email

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 — no WordPress, no plugins, no security updates.

Booking

A booking link that just works

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.

Sales

A small storefront that takes payments

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.

Trust

SSL, backups, uptime — handled, not advertised

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.

Search

SEO foundation without the snake oil

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

Your domain, in your name

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.

03Three Tiers

Honest prices, posted where you can see them.

Pick the tier that matches what you're building. You can move up later. The setup fee is a one-time cost; the monthly fee covers everything else — hosting, updates, maintenance, support.

04How It Works

Four steps, no surprises.

Step 01

You reach out.

Use the form below or send an email. Tell us what your business is and what you're hoping for. There's no contract, no commitment — this is a conversation.

Step 02

We talk it through.

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.

Step 03

We build it.

Setup fee paid, work begins. We send drafts as we go and listen to feedback. Most sites are live within two weeks of starting; complex ones take longer and we tell you that up front.

Step 04

You stop thinking about it.

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.

05Get in Touch
