Website and hosting

Websites and hosting for farms and food makers

Most farm and maker sites were set up years ago on whatever was cheap. We build or take over the site, the domain and the hosting, keep it patched, and make sure it loads fast on a phone.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • Your site is on an old builder and you want it moved without losing your Google rankings
  • You have a domain and a Facebook page and nothing else
  • You pay for hosting you do not understand

Questions

What is the best website builder for a farm or small food business?

If you sell online, Shopify. If the site is mostly hours, story and a contact form, Squarespace is simpler. WordPress fits when you already have one and it works. We pick based on how you sell.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I move my site?

Not if every old address redirects to its new page. We map the old site, set the redirects and check Search Console after the move.

Who owns the domain and the site?

You do. Accounts are in the business name, with logins stored where you can reach them.
