Website Development

A website your customers trust — built and maintained for you.

Relay runs the whole website process for small and local businesses: guided onboarding, a project you can track, direct messaging with the team building it, a private preview with revisions, and a managed launch — all from one account.

The problem

Website projects usually stall for the same reasons

What usually goes wrong

  • An outdated website — or no website at all
  • Freelancers who go quiet for days
  • No clear view of what stage the project is in
  • Feedback lost across email and text threads
  • A confusing launch and domain handoff

How Relay handles it

  • One guided setup that collects everything up front
  • One project tracker that shows the current stage
  • One message thread with the people building your site
  • A preview you review and approve before anything goes live
  • A managed launch process with a documented checklist
What you receive

The website — and the process behind it

Process

Guided intake and brief

A step-by-step onboarding that turns your business details, pages, and content into an organized build brief.

Process

Secure uploads

Upload your logo, photos, and documents directly into your Relay workspace instead of emailing attachments.

Process

Project tracker and messaging

A dedicated tracker for your website project plus a persistent thread with the Relay team working on it.

Deliverable

Staging preview and revisions

Review your site on a private preview link and submit structured revision requests before approving it.

Deliverable

Managed launch and handoff

Relay works a deployment checklist with you, then hands off the live production URL once the site is live.

Plan-dependent

Ongoing plan services

Hosting, SSL, backups, and the change requests included in your monthly plan. Volume of changes depends on the plan you choose.

Websites are designed and built by Relay's team — not generated or deployed automatically. Relay's software is what keeps the project organized, visible, and easy to review.

How it works

Five steps from purchase to launch

  1. 01 /

    Tell us about your business

    Start your project with $0 upfront. We collect your brief and begin the build before anything is charged.

  2. 02 /

    Complete guided onboarding

    Answer a short guided intake, add your links, and upload your logo and images.

  3. 03 /

    Relay's team builds your site

    Real designers and developers build the site from your brief. You can follow the stage in your tracker.

  4. 04 /

    Review the preview

    Open the private preview and submit revision requests. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

  5. 05 /

    Managed launch

    Relay works the deployment checklist, connects your domain, and marks the site live.

Throughout the project you can track the current stage and message the Relay team directly from your account.

Plans

Website plans

We build your website before you pay. There is no upfront build fee. You review a private preview, request revisions, and only when you love it does your website subscription begin.

After you approve your website

Multi-site portfolios, custom integrations, bespoke animations, or enterprise-scale work are quoted directly. A custom project may include a custom upfront fee and a custom monthly subscription — both are confirmed with you in writing before anything is charged.

  • Custom upfront fee (if any)
  • Custom monthly subscription
  • Buyout is always 12 x your monthly price
  • Same build, preview, and approval process

FAQ

Website questions, answered

Your website should be an asset — not a project you keep restarting.
