Built by Alex

Hand-coded websites for barbershops and local businesses. I build it first and you see it free. $0 to start, then $100 a month, flat. Every change handled for you, no contract, cancel any month, and the price never goes up.

How it works

You see it before you pay.

The whole thing runs on one rule: you never put money down on something you have not seen. The site exists before your first dollar does.

01

Text me

A picture of your shop and your name is plenty. I reply the same day.

Takes 10 seconds
02

I build your site

Designed and coded from scratch around your services, prices and reviews, using what's already public. Free, before any money moves.

You look at it

On your phone, on a real link. If it is not for you, that is the end of it. You pay nothing and I take it down.

No charge to look

Start for $0

If you want it, it goes live: your photos go on and it is $100 a month, flat. Every change you ever want is included, and you can cancel any month.

Five O'Clock Shadow

BarbershopDesign / Build

Dark editorial look with big type. The shop's existing scheduler stays and gets deep-linked, so regulars book the way they always did.

Ralph's Barbershop

Traditional barberingDesign / Build

Classic serif, gold turned gray on black, gallery and a shop story page. Reads like the place has been cutting hair for a hundred years.

Your booking app stays

Keep your Booksy.
Keep your Squire.

I do not touch your calendar. Booksy, Squire, Fresha, Square, whatever runs your day right now keeps running it. The site is the front door that belongs to you, not a marketplace showing your clients the shop down the street.

  • Your calendar stays. Appointments, reminders and your client list live exactly where they live today.
  • Deep-linked, not replaced. The Book button lands people on your calendar, not on your homepage.
  • No commissions. I take nothing per booking. Nobody upsells your clients.
Why a site at all

Your fades live on Instagram. Your next client is on Google.

Strangers find you on Google. They check you out on Instagram. The site is what "barber near me" opens. It is the missing piece of the stack you already trust, sitting between your Google profile and your booking app.

  • Prices on the page. Photos of your real work. One Book button. That is what fills a chair from Google.
  • Booked at 2am. Your clients book without texting you, and you cut hair instead of answering the phone.
  • A Facebook page is fine until someone Googles you and finds nothing.
The fine print

No traps.

Every horror story you have heard about websites ends the same way: somebody got locked in. Not here.

  • The domain is registered in your name. Not mine, not an agency's. Yours, and it stays yours.
  • The price is locked. $100 today is $100 in year five. It never goes up on you.
  • Everything is in the $100. Hosting, SSL, and every change you ever ask for. No surprise bills.
  • No contract. Cancel any month and you owe nothing more.

Code is just the tool. What you are actually getting is one person who designs it, builds it, and answers the phone. I am not one of the 30 emails you got this week about improving your website. I already built yours. Want to see it?

The guy behind it

Alex Bustamante

Designer. Developer. The guy who picks up the phone.

Nobody hires a kid with no agency behind him. So I built over 1,600 sites to prove the work, and put my own name on every one of them.

Built by Alex is run entirely by Alex. No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore team. You talk to the person who writes the code. Every call, every text, every line.

"You see your site before you spend a dollar, and I don't disappear after it goes live. Every change you want is on me, one text away."

See yours first

Want a year at once? $1,000. Two months free, same everything, one payment.

You never have to touch it. No dashboard, no plugins, no updates. Nothing to maintain, and when you want something changed, I'm one text away.

Questions owners actually ask

Frequently asked

What's the catch?

There isn't one. I build it free, and if you don't want it, you never pay a dollar and I take it down. If you do want it, it goes live at $100 a month and I handle everything from there. I can afford to work this way because your site is already built by the time we talk, and showing it to you costs me nothing.

Can't I just use my Facebook page?

A Facebook page is fine until someone Googles you and finds nothing. The site is what "barber near me" opens, and it shows your prices, your work and your Book button without an account or an algorithm in the way.

I already have Booksy. Why do I need this?

Keep it. Booksy runs your calendar, the site is your front door on Google. It deep-links straight into your Booksy page, so strangers find you, see your work, and land on your calendar. Nothing about your day changes.

What if I don't like it?

Then you don't take it. You pay nothing at all and I take the site down. And if you start it and change your mind inside the first 30 days, I refund that month too.

How does the $100 a month work?

It starts the day you say go, on a secure Stripe link, and it covers everything: hosting, SSL, and every change you ever want. New prices, new photos, a new barber, a whole new page, you text me and it's usually done the same day. The price is locked and never goes up. If a year at once is easier, it's $1,000 and you get two months free.

Can I cancel?

Any month, no contract, no cancellation fee. The billing stops and the site comes down with it. Your domain stays yours either way, since it's registered in your name.

Who owns the domain?

You do. If you already have a domain, it gets pointed at the new site in about ten minutes and stays yours. If you don't, you buy one for about $12 a year in your own name and I walk you through connecting it. Nobody can hold it over you, including me.

How fast is it live?

First version in about 24 hours. Your photos and one round of changes usually land the same day you send them. Figure about a week from first text to live site.
