We build the software that makes designer-grade websites in minutes — and we put those websites directly in front of the local businesses who need them. Two channels, one standard.
For thirty years a good website has meant weeks of work, a five-figure invoice, and a waitlist — pricing out the very businesses that need one most. Roughly a third of small businesses in America still have no website at all, and plenty of the rest have one built a decade ago that no longer works on a phone.
Software solved the production problem. What nobody solved is the last mile: the barber, the mechanic, the taco place — none of them are shopping for a website, and none of them will find you online. So we did both. We built the software, and then we built the network that walks it through the front door.
If you build websites for a living, we sell you the tool. If you run a business and just need a website that works, we bring you the finished thing at a flat price. Pick the door that's yours.
Software that takes a handful of facts about a business and returns a complete, professional website — copy, layout, and design — then hands you the controls to refine, brand, and publish under your own name.
Our field network. A certified representative builds your business a real website before ever contacting you, then shows it to you in person. If you like it, it's yours at a flat price. If you don't, they leave.
We know how this looks. A stranger walks into your shop holding a phone. So we publish everything — the price, the plans, what we promise, what we refuse to promise, and how to check that the person in front of you is really ours.
Our software makes a real website for your business before anyone contacts you. Nothing is owed and nothing is assumed.
A certified Prospector visits and shows it to you on their phone. You look at your own business, not a mockup.
Flat price, published on this website. The rep cannot change it, discount it, or invent a deadline.
You review the real version, tell us what to change, we change it. Then it goes live.
The monthly plan covers hosting, security, backups, and updates. Cancel whenever you want.
Nobody from Gold Standard Web will ever tell you your listing is about to be removed, promise you a spot on Google, invent an expiring price, ask you for cash, or handle your card details. If someone claiming to be us does any of that, tell us — because it isn't us.
A flat $1,999 to build your website — half to start, half when it goes live. Then a monthly care plan, because hosting and maintenance cost money every month and any company telling you otherwise is hiding it somewhere else.
Prices shown in US dollars and exclude any sales tax we're required to collect. The first-twelve-months figure is simply the build fee plus twelve monthly payments — there is nothing else. No setup fee, no domain markup, no cancellation fee, no minimum term.
Nothing ships by accident. A standard is only as good as its worst detail.
Quality shouldn't cost time. We collapse the distance between an idea and a live website to almost nothing.
Your domain is yours. Your content is yours. We don't hold anything hostage to keep your business.
Published, flat, and identical for everyone. No negotiation, no pressure, no promises we can't keep.
Designer, agency, partner, investor, or a business owner with a question — we'd like to hear from you.
