A New Website for The Pampered Pooch
Karen, you're looking at it. Everything on this preview is live and working, built as a proposal for what The Pampered Pooch's own site could be. Here is the honest look at where things stand today that led to it.
What having no website is costing you
Your Google listing is unclaimed
Anyone can walk up and claim The Pampered Pooch's Google Business listing right now; it shows an open "Claim this business" button to any visitor who looks. Checked 2 September 2026.
Search your own name and you might not find you
Type "Pampered Pooch" into Google and the first several results are a much larger pet resort chain based in Nashville, not this shop on South Church Street. A new customer can click the wrong business without knowing it. Checked 2 September 2026.
The panel shows no services, no prices, no photos of your own
The Google panel has no website button, no service menu, no price list, and no about text. Someone deciding where to take their dog has nothing to go on but the star rating. Checked 2 September 2026.
A customer can't book, ask, or see your hours without calling
There's no booking link, no contact form, and no way to ask a question except by phone during open hours, Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM to 4 PM. Checked 2 September 2026.
What this build includes
5 pages, real depth
A page for grooming and a page for boarding, plus a real about page, not one paragraph trying to cover everything. Written in your voice, every page ending with a way to reach you.
A contact form that works
Try it right now from the Contact page. It sends, and it lands somewhere you can read it, with every detail labeled.
Edit it yourself
You get a Site Manager login: change any text, swap photos, update hours, read your messages, and publish, with an undo button if you change your mind. No developer required for the everyday stuff.
Your brand, your call
The gear button (bottom-right) lets you flip between looks: palettes, typefaces, hero styles, live on the real site. Pick the combination you like and it gets locked in.
How the money works
I build it first
Not a mockup and not a template with your name dropped in the corner. The actual site, live, with your work on it. Look at it as long as you want.
Then you decide
If it is not right, say so and you owe me nothing. No invoice, no hard feelings, and I do not call you again unless you want me to.
If you keep it, the site costs $3,000
Pay it once at launch, or $250 a month for twelve months. Same total either way, and both include the first year of hosting and every change you ask for. Nothing is due before launch.
The computer it runs on is yours
When you sign, I order a small business computer that holds your site. It becomes your property with your first payment, no matter what happens after. I host the site, or it runs on that machine in your building, and you can switch.
One price, two ways to pay it
Your site, live
- A small business computer that runs your site, yours after your first payment, no matter what
- Hosting your way, switchable: I host it, or it runs on that computer in your building
- Your domain in your own name, and the renewal every year
- Security and SSL on every page
- Security, backups, and monitoring, spelled out in your written scope
- Your lead inbox, junk filtered out
- Technical support, on my cell
- Any change you ask for, with no per-change fee
The questions that usually come next
What if I do not want it?
If it is not right, say so and you owe me nothing. No invoice, no hard feelings, and I do not call you again unless you want me to.
Can I cancel?
Paying monthly is buying the site, so if you stop before the twelfth payment the balance of the $3,000 is owed, and the site and the computer are already yours. Once the $3,000 is paid, you choose: keep me at $250 a month for hosting, care, and changes, and cancel any time with no fee, or take it and go and pay nothing more.
Who owns the web address?
The web address is registered to you, not to me. It leaves with you.
Do I pay every time I want something changed?
No. Every change you ask for is in the price, first year included, and $250 a month keeps that going if you stay with me after. Ask me and it gets done, and it never appears on a bill. You also get a login and can change wording, photos, prices and hours yourself without calling me at all.
Is online booking inside the flat price, or is this the part where the number goes up?
$3,000 covers nearly every business. If yours needs a real store with stock counts, customer logins, or has to talk to your register or your books, that one is a quote. You will have the number before I build anything. Your site is 5 pages and a contact form, which is the ordinary case. Nothing about it needs a quote instead, and the price does not move later because you added a service page or a hundred requests came in.
What if I want to run it myself one day?
The computer that runs your site is already yours after your first payment, and it can sit in your building from day one if you want. Once the $3,000 is paid, take it and go: the site runs on your machine and you pay nothing more. If you want my help later, I quote the job before I touch anything.
The photos are from my Google page. Do I have to keep them?
No. They are placeholders so you can see the layout with your own place in it. When you sign, I come out and shoot new ones, and the ones you do not like come down the same day.
Like what you see?
This preview is fully working today: the contact form, the service pages, your editing login. You have not paid anything to look at it and you do not owe anything if you pass. Moving it to your own web address is a short conversation.
