What I do

Three things, done properly, for businesses around Asheboro.

New websites

A site that loads fast, reads well on a phone, and tells people what you do. It launches ready to be found on Google, with your Business Profile, page titles and sitemap done. Yours to keep.

Software built for your business

Quoting, scheduling and job tracking, as web or Windows apps built around how you already work, and working with the software you already use.

Website care

Hosting, backups, updates and changes handled every month, so it never goes stale or goes down. Ongoing local SEO is $75 an hour, or comes from your plan's hours.

Pricing

Fixed price agreed before the work starts. No hourly surprises.

2–3 week turnaround

  • 3 to 5 pages, built mobile-first

Software

From $5,000

Starts with a $500 scoping step

  • Software for quoting, scheduling and tracking jobs
  • Integrations with the software you already use
  • Scoping ends in a fixed price for each phase, and its $500 comes off the build

Care plans

Offered with every website, never required. Pick one when you approve the quote, or later. Software gets a care plan quoted for it.

Hosting

$25/mo

Hosting, SSL, backups and uptime monitoring.

Care

$75/mo

Everything in Hosting, plus software updates, monthly checks of your forms, speed and links, a short monthly report, and up to 30 minutes of changes each month.

Care Plus

$150/mo

Everything in Care, with up to 2 hours of changes each month.

Websites: 50% to begin, the balance at launch. Software: 40% to begin, 30% midway and 30% at launch. Quotes hold for 30 days, and work outside a package is $75 an hour. Care plans are month to month — cancel any time.

Work

Concept designs built to show what a finished site looks like for a particular trade.

Concept design

Piedmont Comfort Heating & Air, Asheboro

An HVAC site built around the calls that actually come in: emergency service when the heat quits, quotes for a full system replacement, financing terms spelled out before anyone asks, and seasonal tune-up scheduling. The call button stays reachable in one tap, whether the customer is standing in the driveway or you are reading it from a roof or a crawlspace.

Concept design

Carter Street Auto, Asheboro

An independent repair shop, built around the two reasons people call: something is wrong today, or they are price-shopping a routine job against the dealer. Written estimates, photos of what was found, and NC inspection details all sit above the fold.

Uwharrie Family Dental concept site shown on a phone

Concept design

Uwharrie Family Dental, Asheboro

A family dental practice. Insurance and payment sit directly under the hero because that is the question everyone asks first, and booking stays one tap away from any point on the page.

How it works

Six steps, and you know the price before any work starts.

  1. Step one

    Free consultation

    We talk about your business and what it needs. For software, a $500 scoping step turns that into a plan and a fixed price, and comes off the build.

  2. Step two

    Proposal and fixed price

    In writing, with what is included and what isn't. It holds for 30 days, and a deposit starts the work.

  3. Step three

    Kickoff

    You send your words and photos, give me access to what I need, and we put every review date in the calendar.

  4. Step four

    Build and review

    You see it at each stage and ask for changes, with two rounds of revisions at each, before anything goes live.

  5. Step five

    Launch

    It goes live, you get every login and a one-page guide, and I fix any bugs for 30 days.

  6. Step six

    Care, if you want it

    A care plan keeps it hosted, backed up and up to date. It's never required, and you can cancel any time.

About

I’m James, and I build software out of Asheboro.

I’ve spent years as a developer, and I started The Digital Finch because too many good local businesses are stuck with a website that’s five years out of date — or don’t have one at all. That’s where most of my work starts, and I take it seriously: your site is how people decide whether to call you.

But websites aren’t the only thing I build. If the thing slowing you down is scheduling, quoting, chasing paperwork, or a spreadsheet three people are fighting over, that’s a software problem, and it’s the kind I’ve spent my career solving. Ask me about it.

Either way, you’ll deal with me directly, start to finish.

Common questions

How much does a website cost?

A Starter site is $1,500 for three to five pages, and a Standard site $3,000 for six to ten, with forms, maps and booking. Shops start at $4,500, and software at $5,000. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

How long does it take?

Two to three weeks for a Starter site, three to four for Standard, counted from when you send me your content. A shop or software is timed in its quote. The consultation and quote happen within a couple of days of you getting in touch.

How do I pay?

For a website, half up front and half at launch. For software, 40% up front, 30% midway and 30% at launch. Invoices are due within 15 days.

How many changes can I ask for?

Two rounds of revisions at each stage are included. An extra round, or a change to what we agreed, is quoted before I start it, at $75 an hour.

Do I own my website or software?

Yes. The domain, the hosting account and the files are yours. If you ever want to move on, you take everything with you and I will help with the handover.

What if I already have a website?

I will look at what you have and tell you honestly whether it needs rebuilding or just fixing and keeping up to date. Sometimes the cheaper answer is the right one.

Do you work with businesses outside Asheboro?

Yes — Archdale, Randleman, Trinity, Franklinville, Seagrove, and the greater Triad including Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point. Most of the work happens by phone and email either way.

What happens after the site launches?

A care plan keeps it hosted, backed up and monitored, and the Care plans keep it updated and cover your changes. Plans start at $25 a month, and you never have to take one. You are never locked in.

Can I cancel a care plan?

Yes, any time. Care plans are month to month. Your site stays yours, and changes after that are $75 an hour.
