Never miss a job

Someone calls while you are on a roof, under a sink or with a customer. Within seconds they get a text from your business number, and the job is still yours.

The text comes from your own business number. Carrier approval takes about three weeks, and we handle the paperwork.

Answer every question

A chat window that knows your business. It answers at 2am, and when it cannot, it takes a name and a number and sends it straight to you.

It only knows what you tell it. When it does not know, it says so and takes a message.

Get more reviews

Asked automatically after every job, while the work is still fresh. You hear about an unhappy customer before Google does.

Everyone gets the same request and the same link. We do not filter who gets asked.

How the $0-down plan works

Add to any plan

A website answers the question. These answer the phone.

Most local businesses lose more work to calls they never returned than to a website nobody liked. These attach to any plan, including Launch, and they are month to month.

Why Tenon

No nails. No glue. No contracts.

A tenon is the tab cut on one piece of wood to fit the slot in another. The joint holds without nails, screws or glue because the two pieces are made for each other. We build websites the same way: cut to fit your business, built to last, and nothing tying you to us.

FAQ

Questions business owners ask us.

Something else? Email us and we reply within 24 hours.

We're a small two-person studio with a streamlined process and modern tooling. No account managers, no office overhead, no six-week discovery phase. You talk directly to the people who design and build your site. Many US agencies quote $2,000 to $10,000 for the same result; we'd rather build more sites at a fair price.

Yes. Send us your details and within 24–48 hours you'll get a real design of your new homepage. There's no payment, no card on file and no obligation. If you don't love it, you walk away and keep the idea.

No. Restaurants are where we started, but we build for salons and barbers, dental and medical clinics, contractors, fitness studios, cafes and most other local businesses. The process is the same for everyone: a free mockup first, one flat price, and a site that is live within days.

Your menu or list of services, your hours, address and phone number, a logo if you have one, and a few photos. No photos? We'll help with a tasteful stock or illustrated look until you have your own.

The free mockup takes 24–48 hours. After you approve it, a Launch site goes live within 7 days and a Growth site within 14 days. Scale projects get a timeline in writing before we start.

Completely. The domain is registered in your name, the site files and content are yours, and there are no contracts. If you ever want to move, we hand everything over.

Send us a message and small edits (hours, menu items, prices, photos) are done within 24 hours. Hosting & Care includes 30 minutes of edits every month; larger changes are quoted up front. We can also set up a simple editor if you prefer to update things yourself.

Yes: Toast, Square, Clover, DoorDash, Uber Eats, OpenTable, Resy, Yelp Reservations, Square Appointments, Booksy and most others. We plug in what you already use so there's nothing new to learn.

That's most of what we do. We rebuild it, move your domain with no downtime and set up redirects so you keep the Google rankings you already have.

We're a remote studio serving the United States, Canada and Europe. We cover US business hours, reply within 24 hours seven days a week, and every call is with the person who builds your site.

Instead of paying $599 up front, you pay $89 a month for a Growth site, hosting and unlimited small edits, with a six-month minimum. At month 12 the site is fully yours and you can keep hosting with us for $29 a month or move it anywhere.

No. Every website plan is complete on its own. The add-ons exist because a website brings people to your door and these make sure nobody who arrives gets ignored.

Yes. All three attach to any plan, including Launch at $299. You do not need a bigger website to get them.

US carriers require every business that sends automated texts to be registered in its own name with its own tax ID. It stops spam and there is no way around it. We prepare and submit the paperwork for you. Your chat and review requests run in the meantime.

It is built only from what you give us. When it does not know something it says so and takes a message rather than guessing. You can read every conversation and correct anything in a sentence.
