Is this a web design company?
Websites are one piece of it. What I actually do is set up how a one-person business takes an order, gets paid and delivers. The website is where that starts; the order system is where it finishes. If all you need is the site, that is $250 and you can buy it today.
I have never run a business. Is that a problem?
It is the point. Start exists for exactly that: the entity, the bank account, the tax registration, the prices, in order, with a link to each and a page that shows what is next. You bring the craft and the honesty about your numbers.
Why are the prices so low right now?
Because I am earning my first case studies. The list price sits next to the founding price on purpose: it is what the work is worth, and it is what the sixth client pays. In return, founding clients give a case study, a review and a referral when it works.
Who owns the system afterwards?
You own everything in it: your Stripe account, your domain, your data, which you can export any day. I host and run the platform. If you ever leave, you get a full export, and you can buy a standalone copy for a fixed fee.
Do I have to be in St. Louis?
No. I am; the first client is in California. Discovery is a video call, the project page works anywhere, and the system does not care where the workshop is.
Who actually does the work?
I do. There is no team and no account manager, which is most of why it costs what it costs, and why the person who built your system is the one who answers.
