Websites and Shopify stores

Look good online. We'll build it.

We build your website or set up your Shopify store, then look after it for you.

Click through the sites we designed

These are sample sites for three made-up businesses, each with its own look. Every page works: open the menus, browse the pages and try the forms. Open any of them full size on your computer or your phone.

The same sites on a phone

Most of your customers will find you on their phone. Every site we build is made for both. Tap Menu on any of these.

How it works

You know your business. We handle the computer side.

  1. Tell us about your business

    Call, email or ask Iris. Tell us what you sell and what people should find.

  2. We build it

    Your website, up to 5 pages, or your Shopify store with your logo, words and first products.

  3. It goes live

    Your website goes online at your own web address. Your store opens in your own Shopify account.

  4. It gets looked after

    We make the changes for you, or your BotForeman assistant does and shows you how.

A few words, in plain English

Hosting

The computer that keeps your website online, day and night. We take care of it.

Web address

The name people type to find you, like yourbusiness.com. It has to be renewed every year. We renew it for you at what it costs us, with nothing added.

Shopify

A popular service for selling things online. It runs your store, takes card payments and helps with shipping. We help you pick the right plan; Shopify bills you for it directly.

BotForeman assistant

Your own AI assistant that you text from your phone. If you have one, it can make changes for you and show you how. What is an assistant?

Clear prices, shown up front

Pick who looks after it: us, or your own BotForeman assistant.

Your website

A simple, good-looking site for a small business, up to 5 pages: for example home, about, services, contact and one more. We build it and put it online at your own web address. Need more? Just ask and we'll quote it.

We look after it for you

Your Shopify store

We set up your store with a ready-made Shopify design, add your first products, and connect payments and shipping. Shopify keeps the store online for you.

We help you choose. Not sure which Shopify plan you need, or which apps and add-ons are worth having? We look at what you sell and how you sell it, then recommend what fits, in plain words. You decide what to sign up for.

Shopify bills you directly, on your own card, for the plan and any apps you pick. That is separate from our fees, which cover our work setting up and looking after your store. The store is yours, in your own Shopify account (Shopify's plans and prices).

You also need an assistant plan. See below.

"With an assistant" means you also have an assistant plan

The website or store price is on top of a BotForeman assistant plan.

Charter price, sign up by December 31:

  • Individual: 7 days free, then $50 a month. No setup fee.
  • Family: 7 days free, then $50 a month for each assistant. No setup fee.
  • Business: from $100 to set up and from $100 a month. We'll give you an exact quote.

Charter members keep their $50 a month after January 1.

For example: a website with an Individual assistant at the Charter price is $595 to start (no assistant setup fee). After that it is $50 plus $15, so $65 a month.

Regular prices, for sign-ups from January 1, 2027:

  • Individual: $295 to set up, then $99.99 a month
  • Family: $589 to set up, then $79.99 a month for each assistant
  • Business: $1,200 to set up, then $249 a month for your first assistant

For example: a website with an Individual assistant at the regular price is $595 plus $295, so $890 to start. After that it is $99.99 plus $15, so $114.99 a month.

Already have an assistant? Then you only add the website or store price. See all our plans, including any current offers.
