Lightning site — $1,000 flat, live by 5pm same day
A real one-page Bendigo website built and shipped in a single working day. Hugo + Cloudflare Pages, mobile-first, SSL on by default, Google profile synced. Same-day or it's free.
What you get
A one-page website that does the job a regional business actually needs done — loads fast, ranks for your suburb, tells visitors who you are, and lets them tap to call you. Built on Hugo, hosted on Cloudflare Pages, no plugins you’ll never use.
Included:
- One responsive page (long-scroll or sectioned, your call)
- Tap-to-call and tap-to-email buttons that work on every phone
- Google Business Profile linkage so your reviews show up
- Custom domain set up, SSL on by default, DNS configured
- Mobile-first layout tested on real phones, not just emulators
- One round of copy help — if you’ve got nothing, I’ll draft it with you
- 30-minute training call after delivery so you can update content yourself
- A clean handover: code is yours, hosting is yours, no lock-in
Not included (most clients don’t need these on day one; ask if you do):
- Multiple pages — that’s a custom build, not a Lightning
- E-commerce checkout — see Lightning + Bookings for Stripe integration
- Copywriting beyond a one-hour draft session
- Logo design — I’m not a brand designer, just a builder
How the day runs
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 8:30 am | We meet at your shop or a Bendigo café. Brief sign-off by 10am. |
| 10:00 am – 3:00 pm | I build. You can pop in any time and watch on my screen. |
| 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm | Walk-through together on your phone. Anything off, I fix in front of you. |
| 5:00 pm | Live. Invoice sent. Keys handed over. |
Same-day or it’s free
If your Lightning site isn’t live by 5pm on the day you sign off the brief by 10am, you don’t pay. Not a discount. Full refund. I write the cheque myself. The only fine print: you have to sign off the brief by 10am; I can’t ship if you change your mind on copy at 4pm.
Who this is for
- Bendigo cafés, restaurants, pubs, bakeries
- Trades — plumbers, electricians, builders, painters
- Beauty, health, fitness — anything appointment-based
- Real estate, professional services
- New businesses launching this week or next
Who this isn’t for
- Anyone who wants ten pages and a CMS — that’s a custom build
- E-commerce stores with more than a handful of products
- Businesses outside Bendigo (the same-day promise only works because I can walk to you)
