Design, build and hosting

Websites that earn their keep.

Custom-designed, fast, mobile-first websites for radio stations and local businesses — built by people who write broadcast software for a living, hosted on our own servers, and priced so the decision is easy.

Live right now, not a mockup

Six sites we built. Every one of them is on the air today.

These are not case-study screenshots. Each panel below is the real website, loading live inside the page you are reading. Click any of them and you land on the real thing.

Licensed FM station · Texarkana

KTYT 107.5 The Yeti

Everything a station website can be, in one build. Listeners stream it, request songs, read local news, check the radar and install it on their phone. Advertisers get a directory listing and an underwriting page. It runs itself day to day.

  • Live stream player
  • Song requests
  • Local news
  • Events calendar
  • Business directory
  • Jobs board
  • Live weather radar
  • Installable app

Community station · New Port Richey, FL

RICHEY fm 107.9

A station built around its town. The player follows you from page to page, and the rest of the site is the community it serves — what is on, who is hiring, which businesses are worth knowing.

  • Persistent player
  • Events
  • Directory
  • News
  • Jobs
https://hometown1079.com

Business directory · West Pasco County

Hometown 1079

Over nine hundred local businesses, searchable by category, each able to claim and upgrade its own listing. A directory is not a page — it is a database with a front door, and it earns while it sits there.

  • 900+ listings
  • Search & categories
  • Self-service claims
  • Paid sponsors

Service business · not a radio station

Hive Mind Social

Proof this is not a radio-only shop. A service business with tiers to explain, objections to answer and an application to fill in — the whole page is built to walk a stranger from curious to applied.

  • Application funnel
  • Program tiers
  • FAQ
  • Resource library
https://trovetracks.com

Software product site

TroveTracks

A product page whose job is to make something complicated feel obvious in thirty seconds, then get out of the way and let the visitor try it.

  • Product marketing
  • Interactive demo
  • Feature storytelling
https://rfnavigator.com

Technical software site

RF Navigator

Engineering software sold to engineers. Dense, technical and still readable — the hardest kind of page to get right, and the one that proves the rest.

  • Technical audience
  • Data-heavy
  • Clean information design

In every tier, including the $300 one

The things that should never have been extras

Half of what this industry sells as an upgrade is just a website working properly. None of it is an add-on here.

Designed, not assembled

Your colours, your logo, your photographs, laid out around what you actually do. No marketplace theme with the stock model swapped out.

Phone first

Most of your visitors arrive on a phone held in one hand. That is the layout we design first and test hardest — not an afterthought squeezed down from desktop.

Fast

Hand-written HTML and CSS on our own servers. No page builder loading three megabytes of JavaScript to render a heading.

Findable

Page titles, descriptions, structured data, a real sitemap, and your Google Business Profile set up and pointed at the site. Done at build time, not sold back to you later.

Secure and backed up

SSL from the first day, nightly backups, security updates applied for you, and forms hardened against the spam that fills every unprotected inbox.

Usable by everyone

Real contrast, keyboard navigation, proper headings and alt text. It is the right thing to do, and it is also what search engines reward.

Three tiers, published

What it costs, before you have to ask

One payment. The first year of hosting, SSL and backups is inside every price on this page — not bolted on at the end.

Starter

A business or station that needs a real, professional presence and needs it soon.

Talk about a custom build

Two very different jobs

Built for stations. Built just as well for everyone else.

Radio is where we come from and it is the harder problem — which is exactly why an ordinary business site is straightforward by comparison.

If you run a station

Things a general web designer has never had to build, because they have never had a transmitter to answer to.

  • Stream player that keeps playing while a listener browsesFollows them page to page — it does not restart
  • Now playing and recently played, straight from your automation
  • Song requests that reach the studioNot a form filling an inbox nobody opens
  • Show schedule and host pages that make your air staff findable
  • Local news and a community events calendar
  • Live weather and radar for your own county
  • Underwriting and sponsor placements that are actually sellable
  • A business directory that turns the site into revenue
  • Installable phone app — your station on the home screen, no app storeA real one is running on KTYT today

Every item on this list is live on ktytradio.com or richeyfm.com right now. Scroll back up and look at them.

If you run anything else

Restaurants, contractors, clinics, churches, shops, agencies, non-profits. Most of this work is not for broadcasters at all.

  • Services and pricing laid out so nobody has to phone to find out
  • Quote and enquiry forms that land in your inbox, spam filtered
  • Online booking and schedulingAppointments, tables, classes, consultations
  • Product catalogue or a full online store
  • Searchable listings or a member directoryNine hundred of them on hometown1079.com
  • Galleries and portfolios that show the work rather than describe it
  • News or blog you post to yourself in a browser
  • Google reviews and Business Profile wired in
  • Separate pages per location, each one findable locally

Not convinced a broadcast shop can do ordinary business work? Look at hivemindsocial.com — there is not a transmitter within a hundred miles of it.

How it goes

Four steps, and you are only needed for two of them

Tell us about it

One conversation. What you do, who you need to reach, what the site has to accomplish, and anything you already have — logo, photos, an old site worth keeping bits of.

Day one

See a real design

Not a wireframe, and not a stock template with your logo dropped in. A working draft of your actual home page, in a browser, that you can open on your phone.

Within a week

Say what is wrong

Colours, wording, layout, the photo you hate. It gets changed. Nothing goes live with something on it you were not happy about.

Your call

Go live

We point your domain, fit the SSL, submit the sitemap, connect analytics, and keep it hosted and backed up. You get a site, not a folder of files and good luck.

Two to four weeks in

Straight answers

The questions everybody asks

What does $300 actually get me? Where is the catch?

There is no catch and there is no setup fee. Three hundred dollars buys a five-page website designed for your business, built to work properly on a phone, with a working contact form, real search-engine setup, and a full year of hosting and SSL included. It goes live on our own servers and we keep it running.

It is priced low on purpose. Most of the people who need this have been quoted four figures by an agency, or been left fighting a website builder on their own at eleven at night. Starter exists so that stops being the choice.

What happens after the first year of hosting?

Hosting renews at $180 a year — about $15 a month. That covers hosting, the SSL certificate, nightly backups, security updates and keeping the thing online.

That is the entire ongoing cost. There is no separate maintenance retainer, no per-page fee and no platform licence.

Who owns the website?

You do — the design, the content, the domain and the files. It is not built on a platform you have to keep renting to keep the site. If you ever want to move it somewhere else, you say so and we hand it over. We would rather keep you because you are happy.

How long does it take?

A Starter site is usually live in about two weeks, Professional in three to four. Signature depends entirely on what is being built and gets a real date before anything starts, not a guess afterwards.

The clock starts when we have your logo, your photos and an idea of what you want to say — which is the part that actually holds most projects up.

Do I have to write all the content?

No. Professional and Signature include copywriting for every page — you talk, we write, you approve. On Starter you can hand over rough notes and we will shape them. Nobody gets handed an empty template and wished luck.

Can I update it myself afterwards?

Yes, for the parts that change. News posts, events, listings, staff and show pages are all editable from a browser on the Professional and Signature tiers, with no developer involved. Structural changes are on us — email and it gets done.

I already have a website. Can you just fix it?

Often, yes. Send the address and you will get an honest answer about whether it is worth repairing or worth replacing — including when the answer is "leave it alone, it is fine". Rebuilds keep your existing addresses redirected so nothing you have already earned in Google is thrown away.

What can you do for a radio station that a normal web designer cannot?

Understand it. A station site is not a brochure — it is a stream that has to stay playing while somebody browses, a now-playing feed, requests, a schedule, underwriters who need to see their name, and a signal with an FCC public file attached to it. We build broadcast software for a living, and the stations above are on the air.

The same is true in reverse: none of that is required. Most of this work is for businesses that have never touched a transmitter.

What about a domain name?

If you have one, we point it at the new site. If you do not, we will help you register one in your own name, on your own account — roughly $15 a year paid to the registrar, not to us. Your domain should never be held by your web designer.

Start here

Send us the address of your current site. Or tell us you haven't got one.

Either way you get an honest answer about what would actually help — including when the answer is that you do not need us. No sales sequence, no discovery call, no proposal deck.
