How it works

Getting paid is the last step.

Not the first. The whole thing runs on one rule: you never put money down on something you have not seen.

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, photos and reviews. Free, before any money moves.

First version in 24 hours
03

You look at it

On your phone, on a real link. Tell me what to change and I change it. One full round is included.

Changes same day
04

Pay only if you keep it

If it is not for you, you pay nothing and I take it down. If you want it, it is $300 through a secure Stripe link.

$300 once. Done
Selected work

Real builds. Live right now.

Five of them, each one a working site you can open today. Every screenshot below is the actual page, not a mockup.

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

Heritage Barber Co.

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.
Ownership

You own everything.

Every horror story you have heard about websites ends the same way: somebody else held the keys. Not here.

  • The domain is registered in your name. Not mine, not an agency's. Yours.
  • Every file is delivered to you. The code sits in your hands the day the site goes live.
  • No hosting hostage. Hosting costs you nothing monthly, and you can move it anywhere, anytime.
  • No contract. Leave whenever you want and take all of it with you.

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.

"Getting paid is the last step, not the first. I don't disappear after you pay, because you don't pay until it's done."

Questions owners actually ask

Frequently asked

What's the catch?

There isn't one. If you don't like the site, you don't pay and I take it down. That's the whole deal. I can afford to work this way because most people who see their shop on a real page want to keep it.

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?

You pay nothing. Not a cancellation fee, not a kill fee, nothing. I take the site down, no hard feelings.

Is there a monthly fee?

No. $300 once and the site is yours, hosting and SSL included. The only monthly thing I offer is the optional $50 care plan, and the site works fine without it.

Who owns the domain?

You do. It's registered in your name from day one, and every file of the site is delivered to you. If you ever want to move it somewhere else, you can, and I'll help you do it.

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. Most shops go from first text to live site inside a week.
