“I like the template, but I'd have you do it.”Brendan McAdams — Kiinetics
Brendan came for a Carrd template and ended up with several sites, a WordPress migration, and a revenue system that runs his practice. That sentence is why this page exists.
Have it built for you
Most people who land on Templatery buy a template and build the site themselves. This page is for the ones who worked out how long that would take and decided their week was worth more. You send the content and a rough brief. I send back a finished site — domain connected, forms wired, email platform hooked up, analytics running.

Tell me what you're buildingHow does it work?
You send. You get back.
You send
- Your content — text, images, whatever exists
- A rough brief, in your own words
- Your domain, if you have one
- A budget number, if you have one in mind
You get back
- A live site on your own domain
- Forms that land where they should
- Email platform connected and capturing
- Analytics running from day one
- Someone to email when you want it changed
What's included?
Everything a working site needs
The build
One-page or small multi-page site on Carrd, WordPress or Astro — whichever fits what you're publishing, not whichever is trendy. I'll tell you which and why.
The domain
DNS, SSL, the CNAME records you never want to see. If you don't own a domain yet, I'll help you pick one that isn't a mistake.
The forms and email
Contact and signup forms wired to your email platform — Kit, Mailchimp, or 16 others — with tags and welcome sequences where they earn their keep.
The analytics
Privacy-friendly analytics (Plausible) installed with goals on the actions that matter, so you know if the site works — not just that it exists.
What does it cost?
Two numbers, no packages page
The build
$750 from, USD
- Site built from your content
- Domain, forms, email, analytics wired
- Live in under a week from content received
- You own everything — domain, accounts, site
Final price depends on scope; I quote it in writing before anything starts.
The care plan
$490 /year
- Content changes when you email them
- Domain, SSL and platform renewals watched
- Something breaks, I fix it
- Annual refresh so it never looks abandoned
Optional. Most build clients add it once they realise they never want to open the editor.
Who's this worked for?
“She has never opened the code. She's never needed to.”Juliet Lyall — newsletter advisory
Juliet runs her advisory business on a site I built and still maintain under a care plan. When she wants something changed, she emails. It's changed by the next morning.
Honest question
Should you just build it yourself?
Maybe. Carrd costs $19 a year, the templates on this site cost $49, and plenty of people ship a good site in a weekend. If you enjoy that kind of work and have the weekend, do it — the guides here will get you all the way there.
This service is for the other outcome: the site that's been "almost done" for three months, the domain pointing nowhere, the form collecting emails into a void. If that's where your project lives, the $750 buys back the weekends you were going to spend and the ones you already did.
FAQ
Questions people ask before starting
How long does a build take?
Under a week from the day your content arrives. The build itself is fast; the thing that stretches timelines is content that doesn't exist yet — and I'll tell you that upfront rather than let it drift.
Do we get on a call first?
No. Everything runs in writing — brief, quote, updates, handover. It’s faster for both of us, you get every decision documented, and nobody has to find a slot across time zones.
What platform will my site be on?
Carrd for one-page sites, WordPress or Astro when there's a real reason for more. I've told people to stay on WordPress and I've migrated people off it — the answer depends on what you're publishing, and I'll give it to you straight.
Who owns the site afterwards?
You do. Your domain, your hosting account, your email platform, your analytics. Nothing is held hostage on my accounts, and the handover doc lists every login you have.
What if I need automations, not just a website?
That's the Integration Sprint — a one-week, fixed-price engagement that wires your tools together. Site builds and sprints stack; several clients have done both.
