Your answers come straight to us right here on the site, and we'll be in touch to confirm and talk next steps. Every request is reviewed personally, and every project is approved before any work begins or any payment is taken. If a project isn't the right fit, we'll tell you honestly. No call centres, no sales team, no obligation.

Packages & Pricing

Clear prices, agreed in writing before we start

Founding-client pricing is open to our first clients in exchange for honest feedback and a testimonial. After those slots fill, package prices rise — if you're thinking about it, the time to ask is now.

Founding pricing is an introductory offer for our first clients, and it can end at any time. The price in your written quote is the price you pay — once your deposit is received, your price is locked and never changes for that project.

Priced like a trade quote, not a software subscription: one fixed number, in writing, before we start. Compare it with the real alternatives — a website builder that eats your weekends, a freelancer gamble, or an agency quote starting at $2,500 before hosting is even mentioned.

Done-for-you vs doing it yourself

Doing it yourself

  • Wix / Squarespace, do-it-yourself — About $1,044 over 3 years in builder fees — and every building hour is still yours.
  • Fiverr / Upwork roulette — Revision ping-pong across time zones — and a freelancer who can vanish before launch day.
  • The agency quote — $2,500+ before hosting — with a timeline measured in months.

Done for you — Kindred

  • One fixed price, in writing — Agreed before we start, locked by your deposit. No hourly meter running.
  • Live in about 7 days — We write, design, build, and test. You approve a preview — that’s your only job.
  • You own your site and domain — Registered in your name. Leave anytime and take it with you — no builder holds it hostage.
You own your site and domain — leave anytime, take it with you.
Stop paying a builder and a Wix or Squarespace site disappears. Ours stays standing — it’s yours.
Questions go to the person who built your site — Kevin — not a ticket queue.
For Smaller Budgets

Built to Your Budget — The One-Pager

A smaller budget should never mean no website. Tell us what you can spend — our minimum project is $250 — and we'll curate one simple, polished page around it: what matters most to you, and nothing you don't need. No pressure, and no upsell — ever.

And when you're ready, your page can grow into a full site — nothing you start with is wasted.

Request a Website
from $250
One page with everything that matters
  • Hero & about — your business, warmly introduced
  • Services & prices
  • Photos of your business and your work
  • Tap-to-call button
  • Contact / inquiry form, delivered to your inbox
  • Map & directions

Your exact price is curated to your budget and confirmed with you in writing before any deposit — it's never in the cart, because there's nothing to guess at.

$99
Google Business Profile

  • Added before launch, or any time after
$150
Rush Delivery

Your logo, cleaned up and made consistent — crisp files that look right on your site, your cards, and your signs.

  • Existing logo redrawn clean and sharp
  • Versions for light and dark backgrounds
  • Web and print files handed over to you

Every project starts with a written scope: page count, forms included, revision rounds, timeline, and exclusions agreed before a deposit. Domain registration, paid hosting plans, premium software, and paid stock photos are quoted separately — and wherever practical, you own your domain and accounts; we manage them with your permission.

Ready to start? Add your package to the cart — you'll see your exact deposit before you pay.

Print & Merch

Print & Merch — designed here, delivered to your door

Business cards and brochures are a marketing tool that keeps working: what a customer holds in their hand sticks in their mind. Design yours and order it right here — we handle production and delivery to your door. Business cards, brochures, flyers, t-shirts, hats, banners and yard signs — you approve the proof; we do the rest.

How To

See how it works — cart, checkout, and autopay in about a minute

The whole path, start to finish: pick a package, pay the deposit, and put your care plan on autopay — about a minute to watch, and no surprises later.

Watch the walkthrough

1

Add your package to the cart

Tap Add to Cart on the package that fits. Extras like an extra page or a logo refresh can ride along in the same cart.

2

Check out securely — 50% deposit

Checkout runs through Stripe’s secure page. Half is due today to reserve your build slot; the balance is due at launch.

3

Turn on autopay in the portal

Sign in to your client portal and switch on autopay — your monthly care plan then pays itself. No invoices to chase, and you can switch it off anytime.

Stuck on any step? Message us on the portal message board, email Afhwebstudios@hotmail.com or call (916) 465-2339 and we’ll walk it with you.

Web Management

Our care plans keep your site looked after — updates, backups, monitoring, and small changes handled for you: $39 / $79 / $149 per month.

Administrator Dashboard — the Team App

Employee management and scheduling in one simple dashboard. Included with the Business + Team App package, or available as an add-on to any website — $299.

We register your domain in your name — you own it, always. Registration at cost, setup free with any package; standalone setup $25.

Google Business Profile Creation

$99 on its own — and free with the Business Website and above. The profile itself is free from Google; our fee is for setting it up properly, with you as the owner.

…and more — if your business needs something online that isn't listed here, tell us what it is. If we can build it well, we'll quote it in writing; if we can't, we'll say so plainly and point you in the right direction. Tell us what your business needs
The Team App

Your team's week, in one calm place

Most small businesses run scheduling on group texts, paper rotas, and memory. The Team App is our lightweight business dashboard — deliberately simpler than the big industry software, because a team of five doesn't need a system built for five hundred.

Employee directory & roles

Everyone on your team in one list — names, roles, and contact details, so nobody digs through old texts to find a number.

Shift scheduling

Build the week's shifts on one shared calendar. Your team sees their schedule the moment you publish it — no screenshots, no confusion.

Time-off requests & approvals

Staff request days off in the app; you approve or decline with one tap. Everyone can see what's already booked before they ask.

Team announcements

One message reaches the whole team — a schedule change, a new policy, a reminder — instead of a group chat that scrolls away.

Task checklists

Opening, closing, cleaning, restocking — the recurring jobs written down once, ticked off every day, visible to you from anywhere.

Private by design

Works on any phone — no app to install. Private logins for every team member, and a 30-minute inactivity auto sign-out, so a shared phone never stays signed in.

Simple on Purpose

Software your team will actually use

The big scheduling platforms are powerful — and most small teams use a tenth of them while paying for all of it, after a training session nobody remembers. Ours does the jobs a small team does every week, in plain language, on the phones they already carry.

  • No training course required — if you can use a calendar, you can use this
  • Private logins for you and your staff — nothing is public
  • Set up with your real team, roles, and locations — we do it with you
Included with Business + Team App

Also available as an add-on to any other website package — ask in the request form and we'll include it in your written quote.

Referral Program

Good businesses know good businesses

Most owners know three others who need a website. If you send one our way and they book, you both come out ahead — it's that simple.

$50 credit

Yours, every time someone you referred books and pays for a website. Credits apply to any package, add-on, or care plan — and the person you referred gets a warm welcome and a free website review before they commit.

  • 1
    Neighbour — 1 paid referral

    $50 credit toward your next package, add-on, or care-plan month.

  • 3
    Advocate — 3 paid referrals

    $150 in credits, plus a free Google Business Profile refresh for your business.

  • 5
    Kindred Partner — 5 paid referrals

    $250 in credits, a free month of Care + Local Visibility, and first priority when build slots open.

The $100 bundle saving

Book any website package together with Google Business Profile work and save $100. One discount per project — offers don't stack.

The fine print, in plain words

  • Credit is issued after the referred client's project is paid — never before.
  • Tell us who sent you in the request form — there's a field for it, so nobody's credit gets lost.
  • Discounts don't stack on the same project — the best single offer applies.
  • Existing clients also get 10% off add-on work — our thanks for staying.

The Honest Comparison

Could you do it yourself? Honestly — here's what that actually takes

Website builders are real, and in dollars they're cheap — plenty of good businesses start there. We'd rather show you the whole picture than talk you out of it: the builder fee is the small part. The real cost of DIY is your time, and the jobs below are where it goes.

The jobs on your list if you build it yourself

  • Learning the builder — templates, settings, and how the pages fit together, before you've written a word.
  • Writing every word yourself — services, about, FAQ — in language a busy customer trusts at a glance.
  • Preparing your photos — sizing and compressing them so pages load fast instead of timing out on a phone.
  • Building forms that actually deliver — an inquiry or booking form that reaches your inbox, every time, tested.
  • Making it fast and readable — clear type and quick pages on every phone your customers carry.
  • Connecting the domain — plus hosting and the security certificate, so the address on your cards actually works.
  • Setting up your Google Business Profile correctly — the right category, services, hours, and photos, so customers find the real you.
  • Testing everything — every link, form, and page on real phones before you share the address with anyone.

What DIY sites usually miss

These aren't design flourishes. They're the details that decide whether a customer calls you or the next business:

  • A booking or quote path that works on a phone — most customer journeys die on a form that wasn't tested on mobile.
  • Reviews where customers look for them — not scattered across platforms nobody visits.
  • Wording written for your customers — not template filler that could describe any business on the street.
  • A Google profile that matches your site — same name, hours, and phone everywhere, so Google trusts the listing.
  • Pages that load in seconds, not eventually — slow pages quietly send customers back to the search results.
The honest bottom line: if you have the time and you'd enjoy building it, a DIY site can work — lots of good businesses start that way, and we'll never pretend otherwise. If your hours are worth more spent on your customers and your team, the lists above are exactly what we take off your plate. Either way, one promise we won't make — and no honest designer can — is guaranteed search rankings or guaranteed leads. What we promise is the work itself, done properly and agreed in writing. Tell us about your business and we'll take it from there.

Built for Small Business

The details generic web designers miss

Most small-business customers arrive from a phone, mid-errand, comparing you with the business down the road. Every Kindred site is built for that moment: fast, clear, and one tap away from a booking, a quote request, or a call.

Made for phones first

Most of your customers find you on a phone. Your site is designed for that screen first — big tap targets, fast loading, nothing pinched or zoomed.

Booking & quote requests

Customers ask for an appointment or a quote right from the site — the request lands in your inbox, no phone tag, no missed jobs.

Reviews front and centre

Your best reviews where new customers actually look — on the page, in your words, building trust before the first call.

Google Business Profile

Setup or cleanup of the listing customers find first — hours, photos, services, and the map pin in the right place.

Fast on any connection

Your photos sized and compressed properly, so pages open quickly even on a weak signal in a customer's driveway.

Services & prices in plain words

What you do, what it costs, and how to book — written so a first-time customer understands it in one visit.

In your customers' language

Serve a multilingual neighbourhood? We can build your site to welcome visitors in more than one language — just ask.

You own everything

Your domain and accounts are registered in your name. We manage them with your permission — nothing is ever held hostage.

Watch · 30 Seconds

See what we do — in 30 seconds

A website that works as hard as you do, an optional Team App for your staff, and a designer you can actually reach — here's the whole picture, fast.

Meet the Studio

The studio is Kevin — and that's the point

Kindred is a one-person studio on purpose — you always deal with Kevin, start to finish. No hand-offs, no account managers, no explaining your business to a stranger twice.

Kevin Kago, founder of Kindred Web Studio

Kevin Kago — Founder & Designer

Kevin Kago
Founder & Designer · Puyallup, WA

Before websites, my career was operations. I served in the US Marine Corps as a logistics officer from 2010 to 2018, and since then I've led warehouse and distribution operations teams across the Puget Sound region — and I hold a degree in Business Management. Running complex operations teaches you one thing above all: systems should serve people, never the other way around.

Kindred started close to home — building websites for family-run local businesses — after I watched great local businesses stay invisible online simply because nobody had built them a proper website. The same problem follows plumbers, cleaners, salons, and cafés everywhere. This studio exists to fix it: honest prices, plain language, and a site you're proud to put on your cards.

What it's like to work with me: you talk directly with the person designing your site. I answer my own phone and my own email. Every project starts with a written scope and an honest price — no tech jargon, no sales team, no call centres.

Questions, Answered Plainly

Before you ask

I'm not in the United States — can we still work together?

Yes — Kindred builds for small businesses worldwide. Everything is delivered remotely: discovery calls by video or phone, drafts and reviews by email, launch without anyone travelling. We schedule around your time zone, and prices on this page can be shown in your currency for guidance — checkout is in USD.

Will a new website get me more customers?

We won't promise that, and you should be careful with anyone who does. What a good website does is make your business easy to find, easy to understand, and easy to contact — so when a customer looks you up, what they find builds trust instead of doubt. Search rankings and lead volume are never guaranteed.

How fast is "launched in 7 days"?

Most builds launch within 7 days of the deposit and receiving your content — photos, wording, and details. If your project needs something unusual (a full online shop, for example), we'll agree a realistic timeline in writing before work begins. Nothing launches untested just to hit a date.

Who owns my website and domain?

You do. Wherever practical, your domain and hosting are registered in your name, and we manage them with your permission. At handover we document what you own and how to reach us for changes. No hostage situations, no mystery accounts.

What costs extra beyond the package price?

Third-party costs are quoted separately and kept transparent: domain registration (charged at cost), paid hosting plans if you choose one, premium software, and paid stock photography. A Google Business Profile is free from Google — our $99 fee is only for the setup service, and it's included free with the Business Website and above.

How do payments and revisions work?

Every project starts with a written scope and a 50% deposit; the balance is due at launch. Each package includes a set number of revision rounds, stated up front — so you can ask for changes freely, and neither of us is surprised.

I'm not technical. Will I cope with the Team App?

Yes — it was designed for exactly that. It runs in the browser on any phone, uses plain language, and we set it up with your real team and walk you through your first week of scheduling. If you can use a calendar app, you can use the Team App.

How do I get the $50 referral credit?

Ask the person you're sending our way to name you in the "Who referred you?" field of the request form at the top of this page. Once their website is booked and paid, the $50 credit lands on your account for any package, add-on, or care plan. Full tiers are in the Referral Program section above.

Just tell us your dream. We’ll build it.

No code, no stress, no midnight how-to videos. One minute of plain questions, a free preview of your homepage, and a site that's live in 7 days.
