Website design in Bozeman, $50 a month.
On Main Street the competition is next door, and out at Four Corners nobody walks past you at all, but in both places the customer picks by typing your trade and the word Bozeman into a phone, often from Denver or Chicago two weeks before the trip. We build the site that answers them, with your rates, your season and a number that gets answered, put it online, and keep it current for you.
You see the finished site before you pay anything.
One long street, one old industrial corner, one valley.
Downtown Main Street holds a long run of independent shops, restaurants and coffee places, the old industrial northeast corner has turned over to breweries and makers, and a wide belt of trades, outfitters and service businesses works out of the valley around town.
Three different problems live in those three places. On Main Street the competition is visible and next door, so the site does the job of the window: what you sell, what it costs, when you are open, and enough of a photograph that somebody walking down from the parking garage picks your door. In the northeast the customer is usually already sold on the idea and is choosing between four taprooms on the strength of a taproom hours page. Out in the valley nobody walks past you at all, so the site is the entire storefront and the phone number on it is the business.
What all three share is that a lot of the money arrives from people who do not live here. They are planning two weeks out from Denver or Chicago, and they book whatever answers clearly. Being fully booked in July is not the same as being findable in February, when the booking is actually made.
Who this fits.
The businesses we build for most, and what their page has to answer.
Outfitters, fly shops and guides
Rates for a half day and a full day, what is included, and how far ahead you are booked.
Taprooms, roasters and kitchens
Taproom hours, what is pouring, and whether the kitchen is on tonight. For a restaurant or a cafe, a menu that reads on a phone, with the prices on it and the hours right for this week.
Trades, salons, studios and gyms
The work you take, how far out from town you will drive, and a number that gets answered. For a salon or a studio, who works there, the price list, and how somebody books without calling twice.
Two seasons means two sales windows.
Bozeman has two busy seasons rather than one: summer traffic heading for Yellowstone and winter skiers heading up to Bridger Bowl and Big Sky, plus a university semester that fills the town in between. Most towns have one peak and a long flat stretch. Here the summer visitors are planning in March and April, the winter ones are planning in October, and the students turn the lights on and off twice a year on a schedule everybody already knows.
A business that publishes the right prices and the right hours for the season it is heading into is answering a question thousands of people type in that exact month. So each season's work belongs before the season, not during it. The mockup takes a few days, a week at the outside, so whichever peak you are heading into, the page is indexed and running before it arrives.
What goes on the page.
We build the whole thing around the season you are in.
Two front pages, one per season
They swap over when the season turns, so a fly shop shows river conditions and guide availability in July and a ski tune price list in December, and the shoulder weeks say what you are and are not doing.
Rates written out in full
Both seasons, including what a half day covers, because the question you get by phone twenty times a week should be answered before the call.
Booking that reaches a person
A real phone number and an email rather than a form nobody watches, since somebody spending six hundred dollars on a guided day wants to talk to a person. A line on where you sit relative to Main Street and where a truck with a trailer can park. And your own photographs, taken in this valley, not stock mountains that could be Colorado.
A finished example of the same idea, built start to finish: Third Bell Coffee. The business is invented and the site was built by us as a demonstration.
One price. Everything included.
$50 a month is the price in Bozeman and everywhere else on this site. The subscription is what makes a properly built site affordable: it is paid over years, not in one invoice at the start.

Questions we get on the phone.
How long does it take to get my site up?
The mockup comes within a week of you sending us your details, photos and prices, often in a day or two, and once you say yes the site goes live. If you are trying to be ready for a specific date, a summer opening or a season start, tell us and we work back from it.
Do I own the site?
Your material is yours from day one: the text, the photos, the menus, the price lists, your logo and your business name. The site itself, meaning its design, code and files, belongs to ProWebLocal, and the subscription is a license to have it published under your web address for as long as it runs. The web address is yours. When the subscription ends, for any reason, we transfer it at no charge to a registrar account you name; tell us within 30 days of the last paid day where to send it. That is section 7 of the terms, and canceling itself is free.
I am slammed in July and dead in April. Can the site keep up?
That is the normal shape of a Bozeman year and the site should follow it rather than ignore it. We build two sets of hours, two price lists and two front pages, and we swap them over when the season turns. In practice you text us in late October that the winter rates are live and the ski tune prices go up, usually the same day. Shoulder season gets its own line saying what you are and are not doing in April, which saves you the phone calls you do not want.
Send us your rates and your season. See your Bozeman site within a week.
A photo of your price list or a page from your booking sheet is enough to start. No card, no commitment. If you like it, it goes live. If you don't, you owe nothing.
