How it works

From private preview to live website

Review a private site preview, confirm your business facts, approve the page, and go live on a domain you own.

The process starts with something concrete. I prepare a private one-page preview using public business information and clearly generic material where verified details are missing. The preview stays on my domain, carries an unofficial-preview notice, and isn't presented as an authorized business website.

Process

Four steps, in order

  1. Review the page

    You can open the preview on your phone and decide whether the basic direction is useful. There's no obligation to use it. If you want to continue, you tell me what is incorrect, what should be removed, and what you want customers to do after reading the page.

  2. Confirm the facts

    I ask for your exact business name, three to six services, current hours, phone number, address or service area, booking link, and two plain sentences about the business. You approve every claim. Any photos must be ones you took, commissioned, purchased, or otherwise have the right to publish.

  3. Approve the service

    The base service is $0 down and $99 a month. It includes the one-page site, hosting, maintenance, connection to your domain, and reasonable edits to the existing page. The agreement is month to month, and add-ons are priced in writing before work begins.

  4. Connect your domain and go live

    You keep an existing domain in your account, or buy a new one in your own name. I point it to the hosted page, remove the preview notice after approval, enable the live indexing settings, and test the phone, email, booking, and directions links.

    An approved base page can normally go live within two business days after I have the final facts, rights confirmation, agreement, billing details, and domain access. If something required is missing, I explain the pause instead of guessing.

Call or email. Either one reaches Collister Computing.

The first step is not a sales call or a design worksheet. It is a private example you can review on your phone.
