New builds. Real rebuilds.

Two ways to work with us — and one standard of quality underneath both.

Brand New Website

For businesses starting from nothing — no site, or getting by on a Facebook page and word of mouth. We design and build a real website around your business from the ground up.

  • Discovery call to understand your business & goals
  • Custom design — not a reskinned template
  • Copy organized around what customers actually ask
  • Contact, booking, or quote forms built in
  • Mobile-first, tested across devices
  • Deployed live with hosting & domain connected

Website Upgrade / Redesign

For businesses with a site that's slow, outdated, hard to use on a phone, or just doesn't look like the business anymore. We rebuild it properly, without starting from zero.

  • Full audit of your current site & content
  • We keep your brand, logo, photos, and copy that works
  • Rebuilt on a modern, fast technical stack
  • Old site stays live until the new one is ready
  • Same technical foundation as a new build
  • One coordinated launch — no downtime

Every Build, Every Time

The technical foundation

This is the part most web builders don't explain. Here's exactly what's running underneath every Flat Grove Digital site — no jargon, no upsells hidden in the fine print.

01Hosting & infrastructure

Every site is deployed on Netlify's global content delivery network, with free automatic SSL/HTTPS on a custom domain.

  • Global CDN — pages served from the location closest to your visitor
  • Free, auto-renewing SSL certificate (the padlock in the browser bar)
  • Instant rollback to a previous version if something ever breaks
  • No server to patch, update, or maintain

02Forms & lead capture

Contact, booking, and quote forms work out of the box — no database, no PHP, nothing to hack.

  • Serverless form handling built directly into the page
  • Spam protection via honeypot field (invisible to real visitors)
  • Submissions land in a simple dashboard, exportable anytime
  • Optional email notification the moment someone submits

03Performance

Built with plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no CMS plugin bloat weighing pages down.

  • No WordPress-style plugin stack to slow things down or break on update
  • Images and assets loaded efficiently, not all at once
  • Mobile-first layout, checked across phone, tablet, and desktop

04SEO foundation

Every page ships ready to be indexed correctly — the technical groundwork real SEO work builds on top of.

  • Unique page title & meta description on every page
  • Auto-generated sitemap.xml and robots.txt
  • Semantic HTML with a proper heading structure
  • Descriptive alt text on every image

05Security

Static sites have a dramatically smaller attack surface than database-driven platforms.

  • No admin login or database for anyone to break into
  • HTTPS enforced site-wide
  • Forms include built-in spam & bot filtering

06Ownership & maintainability

You own the files. There's no proprietary builder locking you in.

  • Plain HTML/CSS/JS — editable by any developer, anywhere
  • Full source files handed over, no walled garden
  • Ongoing edits available a la carte or via a Care Plan
Beyond A Website

Need a real backend? We build that too.

Customer login accounts, a fully custom checkout linked to your Square account, automatic shipping, and automatic financial & tax tracking — 100% custom, scoped to your business.

Worth Knowing

What's not included — on purpose

We're straight with you about what a website build is, and isn't.

Ongoing SEO

Technical SEO is built into every site. Ongoing content & ranking work (backlinks, local citations) is a separate, month-to-month service — priced on request, never bundled into a build fee.

Paid ad management

We can help structure a Google or Meta ad campaign, but running live ad spend is real, hands-on monthly work — not something baked into a flat website price.

Content & photography

We'll organize and write around what you give us. Original photography or full copywriting from scratch is available, quoted separately based on scope.

Not sure which one you need?

Send us your current site (or tell us you don't have one) — we'll tell you straight which route makes sense.
