SiteElixir takes the website you already have, redesigns it free in 48 hours, then looks after it for a flat $29 a month: hosting, any change you ask for, built to be found by Google and AI search, and your domain and code back the day you decide to leave.

Five designers, each trained for one thing: making small-business websites that work. Same bakery, five takes - that's the difference a designer makes.

A site nobody can find can't bring you customers.

You can't win a customer who never finds you - and most orphaned small-business sites are quietly slipping out of search. So every site we build ships found-ready: clean for Google, and legible to the AI tools people increasingly ask instead - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's own AI answers. It's the technical groundwork agencies charge $375 to $5,000 to audit as a one-off - and it's included in the flat $29, on every site, as standard.

We make sure you can be found. What we don't run is an ongoing ads-and-outreach campaign - that's what a marketing agency is for. But being findable in the first place is where most small-business sites fall down, and that part is built in from day one.

Meet the five designers.

Each has their own craft personality - drawn as a wizard because elixirs are wizards' work, and design is a craft, not a procedure. They think differently, design differently, and stay with your site as long as you want them to. You'll pick one when you submit your URL; switch anytime later.

Each one is tuned for a different kind of business - find the designer built for yours.

Illustrated portrait of Marcus, the Minimalist - a calm wizard in a charcoal robe at an almost-empty wooden table

Marcus

The Minimalist.

  • Busy local shops
  • Cluttered sites
  • Packed menus

Believes 90% of websites have too much going on. His default move is delete. Loves white space the way some designers love grids. Cuts the third button when two will do.

Pick Marcus if you want less.

Illustrated portrait of Sarah, the Scholar - a wizard at a writing desk with stacked books and an open manuscript

Sarah

The Scholar.

  • Law
  • Clinics
  • Advisory

Treats every page like a feature spread - serif headlines, calm typography, room to breathe. Reads three books at a time. Will fight you about hierarchy and win.

Pick Sarah if you want it grown-up.

Illustrated portrait of Iris, the Curator - a poised wizard in a dark robe standing in a gallery of framed photographs lit like an exhibition

Iris

The Curator.

  • Hotels
  • Restaurants
  • Makers

Builds the whole page around your best photographs - full-bleed, like a gallery. Picks the five images that matter and lets them breathe. Thinks a great photo deserves a whole wall, not a thumbnail.

Pick Iris if your photos are the story.

Illustrated portrait of Theo, the Hearth - a smiling wizard in a tobacco robe and cream apron, at a workshop table with a sketchbook and tea

Theo

The Hearth.

  • Healthcare
  • Trades
  • Community

Believes a 65-year-old should never get stuck on a website. Optimises for clarity over cleverness, every time. The kind of designer who shows his work to a stranger at a café before shipping it.

Pick Theo if you want your mum to use it.

Illustrated portrait of Diego, the Maximalist - an exuberant wizard in a colour-splashed robe at a workbench of bright pigments and bold lettering

Diego

The Maximalist.

  • Cafés
  • Studios
  • Events

Turns the volume up - big type, real colour, personality on every screen. The confident opposite of Marcus. Believes a brand with energy should never have to look timid or grey.

Pick Diego if you want it bold.

Switch designers anytime - for the first redesign, or later when you want a new look. Your designer stays with your site as long as you want them to.

Real sites, recently rebuilt.

The same designers and engine that will redesign yours. A tired site in, a modern one out - here's a taste.

What the $29 actually does.

A real price, on the page - not a phone call.

You already know what it costs: a flat $29 a month, published right here. No discovery call, no custom quote, no "let's hop on a call to talk pricing." The number is the number.

See it before you commit - no card, no call.

Paste your URL and a designer emails you a real redesign of your site in 48 hours, free. You decide after you've seen it, not after a sales pitch. Most owners have never once seen their new site before being asked to pay.

Your domain and code come back the day you leave.

You own the domain. You own the code. Cancel whenever and we hand you the files - no "export fee," no friction, no hostage situation. It's a named part of the deal, not a favour.

No WordPress treadmill.

Your site is static and runs on Google Cloud's global network - no WordPress, no plugins, no database to patch or hack. We watch it several times a day to confirm it's up and its certificate is valid. It's the whole maintenance-and-security headache, deleted rather than billed. See how we host and protect it.

Found-ready as standard, not a paid add-on.

People increasingly ask ChatGPT and Perplexity, not just Google. Every site we build ships with the groundwork both run on - structured data, a sitemap, an AI-crawler-friendly setup, and clean, accessible HTML - and your content is structured so it can be quoted in AI answers. Most small-business sites aren't ready for that. Yours is, included in the $29. See what found-ready ships.

Changes whenever you want them.

New page. Updated bio. Fresh photo. New service. Holiday hours. Just email your designer. They make the change. Usually within a day. Often within an hour.

Where we're not the fit.

Three cases where someone else will serve you better.

You need a real online store.

Hundreds of products, a cart, real inventory and checkout - that's Shopify's job, not ours. We wire up light selling, not a warehouse.

You don't have a site yet.

We start from the website you already have. Build a first version anywhere you like, then come back when it needs a designer who stays.

You like doing it yourself.

If tinkering with your own site is the fun part, Wix or Squarespace will make you happier than we will.

$29 a month. That's it.

One price. No tiers. No upgrades. Redesign, hosting, unlimited changes, the found-ready baseline, domain hand-back - all in.

Founding rate: $29 a month for our first 500 customers.

$29 is less than a freelancer charges for a single hour.

Times twelve, that's $348 - for a year of redesigns, hosting, changes, and a designer who actually answers their email.

Real examples, not a fixed list. The point is your site moves with your business.

Unlimited changes within reason - small to medium tweaks, daily or weekly. Not a full rebuild every month. If you need a complete reinvention, ask your designer.

The questions you're about to ask.

What if I don't like the redesign?

Tell us. Or pick a different designer. We'll send you another. There's no card on file until you point your domain at us - so you can walk away costing yourself nothing.

How do you choose my designer?

If you leave it on Match me, we read your site and who it's for, then assign the designer whose style fits your business best - the way you'd brief a studio. Prefer to choose yourself? Pick any of the five. Either way, you can switch anytime.

I'm on Wix or Squarespace already. How does this work?

You stay on Wix until you decide to switch. We rebuild your site as a fresh, modern version on our hosting. When you're ready, you subscribe and point your domain at us. The old site goes quiet; the new one goes live. We don't touch your Wix account.

What about my email? My SSL? My current domain?

Your domain stays where you bought it - GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google, wherever. You just point its DNS at us. Your email at that domain keeps working untouched, because we don't run mail. SSL is automatic and free, applied the moment your domain points at us.

Where's my site hosted, and is it reliable?

On Google Cloud's global network - a static build served through a global CDN, so pages load fast from near your visitor. We also check several times a day that your live site is responding and its certificate is valid, so we usually spot a problem before you would. No website is up 100% of the time and we won't pretend otherwise, but there's no WordPress, plugin, or database to fall over, which removes the most common ways small-business sites break. More on how we host.

Is my site secure, and can it get hacked?

Your site is static HTML. There's no WordPress, no plugins, no database, and no admin login to break into, so the attack surface that hits most small-business sites simply isn't there. SSL is automatic, and we never put your site live on a domain until you've proven you own it.

Is my site backed up?

Yes - in more than one way. Your site's source lives in a private repository with full version history, every published version is archived to separate cloud storage, and we keep prior published versions, so a change can be rolled back. You can download your whole site as a zip from your dashboard any time - even after you cancel. And the records that run your site - your domain, subscription and change history - are backed up twice a day to separate cloud storage, with a restore we've tested.

How fast do changes actually happen?

Usually within a day. Often within an hour. The ceiling on speed is your designer's queue, not a ticket system. If something's urgent, say so in the email.

Who owns the design and the code?

You do. Both. The site your designer makes is yours, the underlying code is yours, the content is yours. We're hosting and refining it on your behalf, not licensing you a template you have to give back.

Can I sell things on this?

Light ecommerce - a contact form that takes orders, a Stripe button, a Calendly link - works fine and your designer will wire it. A full store with hundreds of products and a real cart is not what we built this for. If that's what you need, use Shopify.

What if you disappear like my last designer?

Your domain stays yours. Your code stays yours. If we ever go away, you take the files and host them somewhere else. We'll send them on request, anytime, no questions.

Can I cancel?

Anytime. You won't have to call us. Click cancel; we stop billing. You keep the site - we'll send you the files.

Do you build new sites from scratch?

Not yet. We start from the website you already have, because that's where the pain actually is.

When are you not the right fit?

Three cases. If you need a big online store with hundreds of products and a real cart, Shopify is the better tool. If you don't have a website yet, we can't redesign one - we start from the site you already have. And if you genuinely enjoy building and tweaking it yourself, a builder like Wix or Squarespace will suit you better than we will.

Should I just use Wix or Squarespace instead?

If you want to build and maintain the site yourself, yes - they're genuinely good at that. The difference is who does the work. With a builder, you're the designer, the editor, and the help desk, forever. With us, a designer makes your site and stays on to change it whenever you ask. Same site, very different amount of your time.
