Is the free build really free?
Yes. I build the full site, you try it. If it's not the right fit we part ways, no bill. If you keep it: Care from $49/month, or take Delivery (one-time fee) and own the code outright.
Straight answers. Email me if yours isn't here.

I'm early. The first clients get a deal later ones won't. In exchange, I feature the finished site as a case study and you keep a permanent founder's rate.
That's the whole point. 200M+ people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for recommendations every week. Most local sites are invisible to them. Every site I build ships with the structured data, clean HTML, and freshness signals AI engines actually read.
Templates work fine if you're okay looking like every other business in town. I build something for your business: custom, faster, more memorable. Standard files, so you can take it anywhere.
Less than 30 minutes of your time. Your business name, what you do, your hours, a few photos if you have them, and your domain (or I'll help you grab one). I pull the rest from your existing site, Google, and a 15-minute call.
Hosting, domain renewal, SSL certificate, uptime monitoring, small monthly content updates (new hours, new photos, price changes), and I keep your AI signals fresh as things change. No setup fee. No surprise charges.
You can. If you took Delivery, you already own the code. If you're on Care, give me 30 days and I hand you the files. No hostage situations.
Most clients don't want to. I turn small changes around in a day on Care, no extra charge. If you want full self-edit access, ask and I'll quote a Delivery with a basic editor layer included.
Social pages are good for posting updates. They are not great when a customer Googles your name at 9pm or asks ChatGPT for a recommendation. A real website with structured data is what search engines and AI assistants actually pull from. Treat social as your bullhorn and a website as your storefront.
About 14 days from our first call. That covers design, copy, mobile testing, structured data for Google and AI search, and a live URL you can share. Bigger projects with custom integrations take longer and get scoped separately.
Local businesses in Milledgeville and Baldwin County get priority and the founder's rate. I work with small businesses anywhere in the U.S. The first five Milledgeville businesses get a free build with no obligation.
A drag-and-drop template is $20 to $50 per month forever and looks like everyone else. A custom site from a real developer is usually $3,000 to $10,000 up front plus hosting. Motley Tech is custom-built, free up front, and from $49 / month on Care if you keep it. Or take Delivery once and own the code outright.
Yes. Every page is built mobile-first and tested on real phones, tablets, and laptops before it goes live. More than 60% of small business traffic comes from a phone. A site that doesn't work on a phone doesn't really work at all.
Yes. Every site ships with the technical SEO foundation already in place: clean HTML, fast load, sitemap, structured data, and Open Graph for social previews. I help you set up Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, and a Google Business Profile so you start showing up in Maps and local searches.
Yes. If your current site is slow, broken, ugly, or just stale, I can rebuild from scratch or migrate the parts worth keeping. The free trial build still applies. Tell me what's wrong and what you want different.
Send one email. New hours, new menu items, swapped photos, updated services: included in the $49 / month plan. Bigger changes like a rebrand or a brand-new section get scoped separately so you know the cost before any work starts.
Three things matter most in 2026: structured data (Schema.org markup that tells AI what your business is), fresh content updated within the last 30 days, and citation co-occurrence (being mentioned on Reddit, local press, and directories alongside other trusted sources). Templates rarely include any of this. Every Motley Tech site ships with all three built in.
Your domain stays yours and your email keeps working. I build the new site on the side, you preview it, then I flip one DNS setting and the new site goes live. The old site is backed up, then turned off. The whole switch takes about thirty minutes and is reversible in five.
DIY tools like Wix or Squarespace look cheap at $20 to $50 per month, but you pay forever and can't take the site with you. Motley Tech is free up front and from $49 / month on Care if you keep it, or one Delivery payment and you own everything. Over three years, custom is usually cheaper than the templates.
Squarespace works if you accept looking like every other small business and don't care much about Google or AI search visibility. A real developer gets you custom design, faster load, structured data, and code you actually own. The free build means there's no money risk to seeing what you'd actually get.
Local matters because I know your customers and we can meet in person if you want. Motley Tech is based in Milledgeville and prioritizes Baldwin County businesses with a founder's rate. Email me or text. The first call is twenty minutes, free, with no pitch deck.
Yes. Reviews on Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor live on those platforms, not on your website. They're untouched. Facebook and Instagram pages keep working as is. After launch I update the website-URL field on each so they all point to the new site. About two minutes of clicking total.
