We rebuild the websites of local businesses. Post a link to your current site and we build the upgraded version — you look at a working preview before anyone talks about money.
It goes live on your own domain, free for a month. Keep it for a one-time $250. No monthly fee, ever.
No account, no call. A link is all we need to start.

Serving your area since 1987
An illustration, not a real customer — but if the left side looks familiar, we should talk.
Who this is for
Your reputation was earned over decades. Your website was built in an afternoon in 2009 — and today it’s what people see first. We close that gap.
How it works
Drop the link below. That’s the whole ask — no meeting, no questionnaire. Facts come from your existing site and your Google profile.
You get a private preview link to a finished, working site. Open it on your phone, show it around. If it’s not for you, ignore it — nothing owed.
Like it? It goes live at your own address and runs free for a month. Your domain stays yours the whole time.
A one-time $250 and you own the site outright. No monthly fee. Don’t keep it? It comes down — undoing it means changing two settings back — and you owe nothing.
What “upgraded” means
We don’t promise outcomes nobody can guarantee. We build the mechanisms, and you can verify every one of them.
Proper page titles with your services and towns, labels Google reads to understand your business, and a site Google can actually find. Many old sites are accidentally set to be invisible to Google entirely — we check, and fix it.
Most of your visitors are on a phone. The rebuild has zero horizontal scroll at every screen size, tap-to-call everywhere your number appears, and a call button that follows the page on mobile.
Static pages, a fraction of the weight of a typical builder site, zero trackers and zero third-party requests. Nothing to break, nothing spying on your customers.
A banner that shows customers whether you’re open right now, a working contact form, save-our-number to the customer’s phone, and a one-tap link asking happy customers for a Google review.
Your real services, history, service area and hours — pulled from what you’ve already published. We never invent prices, response times, reviews or certifications.
The domain stays registered in your name. The site is yours after the one payment. Any freelancer can maintain it later — there’s no lock-in to us, no proprietary builder, no subscription.
A real rebuild
A preview we built, unasked and free, for a family-run heating & plumbing shop — a business trading since 1947 whose website Google couldn’t even index. It’s exactly how we’d start with you. Every number below is measured, not estimated.
| Their old site | The rebuild | |
|---|---|---|
| Visible to Google | No — hidden by a leftover setting | Yes |
| Page title | “Home | My Site” | Services + both towns served |
| Content | 141 characters of text | Services, history, FAQs, emergency guides |
| Mobile layout | Had to be dragged sideways to read | Fits any phone screen, no dragging |
| Tap-to-call links | 0 | 17, plus a sticky call bar |
| Page weight | Slow to load | Loads in under a second, nothing tracking your customers |
If your site has problems like these, you’ll see them named and measured in your preview — so you can check our claims yourself before anything goes live.
Pricing
The site goes live on your own domain and runs free for a month. Keep it: one payment, and you own it outright. Don’t: it comes down, two settings go back the way they were, and you owe nothing. After the included 30 days of fixes, further work is hourly with no retainer and nothing owed in between.
Questions
Fair question — you probably get those calls weekly. Those ask for money for something you can’t see. Here the finished site exists before money is ever mentioned: you get a working preview, then a free month live on your own domain, and you pay only if you keep it.
A small business called Upgrade the Old Web that does one thing: rebuilding outdated websites for local businesses. We work remotely — which is exactly why the site gets built first, so there’s something real to look at instead of a promise from a stranger. And we’re small enough that the person who replies to you is the person who builds your site.
Post your link. If you go live later, you accept two email invitations — one for your Google profile, one for the panel your domain sits in — and we handle everything else. No technical work at your end, ever.
No. Going live changes only the two records that point your website; the records that carry your email are never touched. That’s also what makes the free month safe — reverting is the same two records.
Word of mouth is the best way to get work, and this doesn’t replace it. It’s for the moment after the recommendation — when someone looks you up on their phone before calling. That first impression is currently your old site.
It’s built to need nothing: plain static pages with zero dependencies and zero subscriptions, so it runs untouched for years. Fixes are included for 30 days. After that, work is hourly with no retainer — or hand it to any freelancer you like. You hold all the keys.
Nothing. A site this small runs comfortably on a reputable host’s free tier, set up in an account that belongs to you. There is no monthly fee to us or to anyone.
Get started
A link and an address for the reply — that’s everything. We’ll answer with a private preview of the upgraded version: free, and yours to ignore.
