Questions

Common questions

Do I have to pay anything to see my new website?

No. We build a preview of your new site first, using your real services, hours and reviews. You only pay if you want it live.

How much does a website cost?

Our founding price is $297 to launch (normally $497) plus $39 a month for hosting and small updates. There's no contract, and you can cancel anytime.

Who owns the domain and the site?

You own your domain, your business name, your photos and your words. Once the launch fee is paid, the finished design of your site is yours to keep.

What if the website doesn't bring in any calls?

Our 60-day promise: if your new site doesn't bring you a single call, quote request or message in its first 60 days, tell us and your next 2 months of the care plan are free.

Are you actually local?

Yes. Doorway Web Co. is based in Brainerd, Minnesota. Everything happens by email and online, so you never need to schedule a meeting.

Can you fix my Google listing too?

Yes. Founding clients get a Google Business Profile tune-up included. You add us as a manager, so we never need your password.
