One Price for the Website. Each Add-On Has Its Own Price.

Yes — domain, accounts and edit login are in your name from day one, and we work inside them as a helper you can remove any time. Owning puts two small things in your hands, the yearly domain renewal and your passwords — here is what that means.

Not to us, unless you want one. No retainer, no auto-renewal, nothing to cancel. Hosting is included and stays free for a site like this; your only running cost is the web address, about $11 a year for a .com (an online store adds Shopify's plan; the Instagram feed adds a small feed service from about $5 a month, in your own account). Only heavy video stored on the site itself, or a custom feature that runs on every visit, would move hosting to a paid tier of about $5 a month — and we would let you know before it happens. If you'd rather not touch the site yourself, the optional care plan is $150 a month for up to five small changes and cancels any month.

Because everything is already in your name, there is nothing to hand back. Just ask, and we'll send any remaining files, notes and passwords within 48 hours and remove ourselves from your accounts. Any web developer can pick up where we left off — you are not tied to us or to a platform.

Yes — that is the whole idea. Your site has its own edit page where you change hours, prices, photos, menu items and text; a save is live in about a minute, and every save is kept so anything can be put back. Before launch we sit down with you — in Cantonese or English — and make real changes together. You get a recording of that session and a short written guide in Chinese and English, plus 30 days of support after launch. If you're a Mandarin speaker, the written guide and WeChat make it easy — Roger reads and writes Chinese fluently.

No — we build your site page by page for your business, not from a theme with your logo dropped in. That is why it loads fast, has nothing to update or patch, and costs nothing to keep online. What you pay for is the work a template can't do: pages written from your business, your photos placed properly, old links carried over so Google keeps finding you, Chinese that reads like Chinese, an edit page for the things you'll change, and someone local to teach you.

Those offers can be a fine start for some businesses. They are usually a template with your logo added, hosted on the seller's account, so the real cost shows up later in monthly fees and in what it takes to leave. Our price is the whole price, paid in three milestones, and the site is yours the day it launches. If a simple starter site is all you need right now, we'll tell you so and point you to a good builder.

Maybe not. Those platforms include a basic site with ordering, and if yours is working, we'll say so on the free call. Where a separate site earns its keep: a Chinese version Google can index, pages about your business rather than only a menu, a Google Business Profile that matches, and a site you keep if you ever change your register system. We never replace ordering that works — we link to it. See the comparison →

No one can promise that honestly, so we focus on what earns it: a fast, mobile-first site; correct English and Chinese page structure so Google indexes both; your Google Business Profile set up with a Chinese name, hours and photos; old links redirected on a rebuild. Then we show you the numbers in Google's own tools.

Traditional, standard written Chinese by default — readable by Hong Kong, Taiwanese and mainland customers, written to read the way local customers actually talk. If most of your customers read Simplified, take the Simplified version on its own ($200, AI-translated and proofread by us) or alongside Traditional. Vietnamese, Spanish, Japanese, Korean or any other language is $350 each: translated by AI and checked by us for names, prices and layout, not reviewed by a native speaker — good for welcoming customers and showing hours, services and prices; for legal or medical wording, have a native speaker read it once.

No, never. Ordering, booking and reservations run in systems opened in your own name — Square, Shopify, a reservation service — and are built into your site; the only costs are those systems' own charges — card processing, and for some of them a plan fee — paid to them, not to us. If you already use Chowbus, Fantuan or your register's ordering page, we link to it rather than build a second one.

Not at all — keep them. The apps are where new customers find you; your own site is where regulars can order. Your part: keep your app accounts as they are, tell us which plan tier you're on, and decide whether you'll pass the courier fee to customers. Our part: build ordering into your own site (usually Square's ordering system, opened in your name), link your Fantuan, Chowbus, DoorDash and Uber pages from the site so nothing is lost, print a "order direct and save" QR for bags, receipts and tables, and show you the weekly numbers so you can see orders moving from 30% commission to your own site.

Commission is a percentage of the food subtotal on every order, on top of the fees the customer pays. As of September 2026: DoorDash Basic 15% · Plus 25% · Premier 30% for delivery, 6% on pickup. Uber Eats Lite 15% · Plus 25% · Premium 30%. Grubhub about 13% delivery plus about 10% "marketing", so 25% or more in practice. Fantuan, Chowbus and HungryPanda do not publish rates — they are negotiated; it's worth asking your rep for the number in writing. Paid promotions and ads are extra. Pros: new customers, DashPass and Uber One reach, no drivers to manage. Keep in mind: you pay the same 25–30% on your regulars, you don't receive the customer's contact, the platform can change the rate, and many owners raise menu prices to cover it. On a $40 order at 30% you keep $28. On your own site with on-demand delivery you pay the card fee (about 3%) plus Square's $1.50 per order plus a flat courier fee of roughly $6–10 that you can pass to the customer — so you keep about $37 if the customer pays the courier, or $28–31 if you absorb it. Pickup orders on your site keep about $38.

The customer orders and pays on your site. The order appears on your tablet or kitchen printer, exactly like an app order. If it is a delivery, the system requests a DoorDash or Uber courier through Square's on-demand delivery — you never call anyone, the driver is dispatched at a flat fee, and the customer gets tracking by text. Pickup orders just show the pickup time. What you need: a Square account in your name, a tablet or printer, your menu with prices and options, hours and prep time, a delivery radius, and a decision on who pays the courier fee. What we do: set it all up — including the kitchen ticket printer or tablet, so no one retypes orders during a rush — place test orders with you, train you to pause items and change hours, and link your existing Fantuan / Chowbus / app pages. Two honest limits: courier coverage follows DoorDash and Uber's availability in your area, and Fantuan or Chowbus orders cannot be routed through your website — those stay in their own apps.

Within one business day, Monday to Saturday. You are talking to Roger — the person who writes, builds and trains. There is no sales team and no hand-off to someone you haven't met. Email, phone, text or WeChat, whichever you prefer.

No — everything a website itself can do for Google is in the base price: a page for each service in English and Chinese, correct titles and descriptions, a sitemap, fast loading, and old links carried over on a rebuild. For a local business, what moves you up from there is not on the website at all — it is your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your photos. The profile setup is a $350 add-on; the reviews and photos are yours to keep collecting, and we'll show you how. We don't sell a monthly SEO plan: for most businesses serving one neighborhood it does not pay back. If yours is in a crowded category, we'll tell you so at Discovery and point you to what actually works.

Yes. If it offers an embed code or a widget — Mindbody, Vagaro, Square, Momence, OpenTable, Yelp, Mailchimp and most others do — it is a flat $250 per system, however many pieces it needs. We place it, match it to your design and check it on phones. Your subscription stays yours; we never hold your login. If the platform offers no embed option, we'll quote it at Discovery.

The care plan is charged monthly whether you use all five changes or none — you are paying for a two-business-day turnaround whenever you need it, plus the yearly checkup. Unused changes do not carry over. If you expect only a few changes a year, pay-as-you-go is the better deal, and we will tell you so.

Yes. Stop with one email, restart with one email, no fee either way. The included yearly checkup is earned after 12 paid months, whether or not they are in a row.

Two sites can look alike on a screen and behave very differently for your customers. Ours is built page by page, so it opens fast on a phone — before a customer standing outside your shop gives up — and Google favors fast pages. Text and buttons meet accessibility standards: clear contrast, readable sizes, and it works with screen readers, so older customers and customers who use assistive tools can read your hours and menu, and you stay on the right side of accessibility rules. There is nothing to update or patch, so nothing breaks after an update and there is no out-of-date software for intruders to get into. It looks the same on an old Android, a new iPhone and a desktop. And both language versions are set up so Google shows the Chinese page to customers who read Chinese. None of this shows in a screenshot; it shows in the visits you get and the repair calls you never make. If you'd like proof, run Google's speed test on this site's English home page — as of October 2026 it scores 100 for accessibility, best practices and search, and you can see the speed result for yourself. Then run the same check on your own site and compare.

Some owners have a great experience that way, and if a simple starter site is all you need, it can be the right call. The pattern we hear about from owners who were burned is always the same: paid up front, the site never finished or never handed over, and nobody answering. That is why our terms are built the other way round — you pay in three steps as work is completed, everything is opened in your name from the first meeting so there is nothing to hand over later, and the person you talk to is the person who builds and trains you, reachable within one business day. If a freelancer offers you the same three things in writing, they are worth considering too.
