1. Tell us what you need
A quick chat about your business and what the site should do — bookings, menu, gallery, contact, whatever fits.
Web design for local business
Own your website. Don’t rent it forever.
We build a custom website for your business for a one-time price, then hand you the finished files and a plain-English guide so you can edit it yourself.
No monthly fee from GetFavours — your domain and hosting are paid directly to the companies that provide them.
The thing nobody tells you
With Wix or Squarespace, you don’t buy a website — you rent one. You pay every month, forever, and the day you stop, your site disappears. Worse: Wix is a closed platform, so you can’t even take your design with you if you leave.
GetFavours flips that around. You pay once, we build it, and you get the finished site files to keep, move or change. Your logo, photos and text stay yours. No landlord.
How it works
2. We build & tailor it
We design a clean, fast, mobile-ready site around your business — not a generic template you have to wrestle with.
3. You get the files — and a guide
We hand over the finished site files and a plain-English PDF showing you how to edit them yourself. No monthly fee from GetFavours, no lock-in.

The price we agree on your call is all you pay GetFavours. A domain name and hosting are paid directly to those companies, and section 8 of our Terms sets out exactly what is handed over to you.
Prefer us to host and handle updates for you? Optional care plan from $39/mo — totally optional, and you keep the site files.
Want your website in English plus Punjabi or Hindi? We build that too — just ask on your free call.
GetFavours vs. the usual options
| Option | Upfront | Monthly | You own it? | Edit it yourself? | Lock-in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GetFavours ★ Own it | From $249 one-time | No GetFavours fee (domain & hosting paid to those companies) | You get the site files and keep your own domain | Yes — with a PDF guide | None — host anywhere |
| Wix | $0 | $17–$159/mo | No — closed platform | Yes (only on Wix) | High — can’t export design |
| Squarespace | $0 | $16–$99/mo | No | Yes (only on Squarespace) | High — limited export |
| Web agency | $5,000–$50,000+ | Often a retainer | Usually | Often dev-dependent | Varies |
| Freelancer | $500–$5,000 | $0–varies | Usually | Depends on the build | Varies |
A Wix Core plan at ~$29/mo is about $1,000 over three years — and you still can’t take your site with you. With GetFavours you pay us once and keep the site files; you pay your own domain and hosting directly. (Competitor pricing from their public plans, 2026.)
Why owning beats renting
No monthly fee from us
Pay us once instead of $16–$159/mo to a site builder. Your domain and hosting are paid directly to those companies.
Edit it yourself
A plain-English PDF shows you how to change text, photos and prices. Simple enough for anyone — no coding.
Host it anywhere
Keep it on your own computer, a cheap host, anywhere. Your files, your data, your control — no platform owns you.
Frequently asked questions
What do I actually own when it's done?
You get the finished website files and we connect your own domain. You can edit the files, move them, or host them anywhere, and your logo, photos and text stay yours. Section 8 of our Terms (getfavours.com/terms) sets out exactly what is handed over to you and what stays with GetFavours, such as our reusable templates and code libraries.
How do I edit it myself later?
Every website comes with a plain-English PDF guide made just for your site. It shows you exactly how to change your text, photos, prices, hours, and more — step by step, no coding. If you can edit a document, you can edit your site.
Is there really no monthly fee?
There's no monthly fee from GetFavours — you pay us once. Like any website, it needs a domain name and hosting to stay online, and you pay those directly to the companies that provide them, not to us. If you'd rather we host and handle updates for you, that's an optional care plan — never required. Compare that to website builders like Wix or Squarespace, where you pay the builder every month just to keep your site online.
Why is this so much cheaper than a web agency?
Agencies bill $5,000–$50,000+ because every project starts from scratch with a full team. We've streamlined the process and tailor a proven, professional structure to your business — so you get a clean, custom site without the agency invoice.
Where is my website hosted? Can I keep it on my own computer?
Anywhere you like. You can keep a copy of the files on your own computer, put them on a host of your choice, or we'll help you set up hosting. Hosting is paid to the host, not to us. You're never locked to us or to any one platform — you can move the site wherever you want.
What if I want bigger changes down the road?
Because you have standard website files (not a locked platform), you can edit it yourself with your guide, come back to us, or hire any developer you like. You're never trapped.
What kinds of businesses do you build for?
Any local business — salons, barbers, restaurants, cafes, plumbers, HVAC, roofers, contractors, clinics, retail shops, and more. We tailor the site and the edit-guide to your exact business.
Can you add online booking or a quote form?
Yes. Online booking, quote/contact forms, photo galleries, menus, and similar features are available on the Business and Custom options.
Can my website be in Punjabi or Hindi?
Yes. We can build your website in English plus Punjabi or Hindi, so your customers can read it in the language they are most comfortable with. We work out the price with you on your free call.
