What you get
Every site is designed from scratch under a professional designer’s direction — typography, color, layout, and animation tuned to your business. Scroll reveals, hover feedback, transitions that make the page feel alive. No templates. No “powered by” anything.
Pages load instantly — green Core Web Vitals and 90+ performance scores, every build. Under the hood: clean structure, structured data, per-location pages, sitemaps, and social share cards that render right everywhere. The details Google actually reads.
Search is changing. We optimize for GEO — generative engine optimization — so when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI for “the best ___ near me,” your business is an answer they can find, trust, and cite.
Our AI content engine drafts fresh posts, seasonal pages, and offer updates in your voice. You approve, we publish. Fresh content keeps customers interested — and keeps search engines coming back.
Add the tools your business runs on: online ordering, reservations, appointment booking, review feeds, gift cards, live chat, forms, maps. Beautiful and useful aren’t a trade-off here.

The process
Four page-turns from checkout to a live, hand-built site.
Live.
Most sites are live within one week of signup.
Choose a package and check out. Monthly or yearly — either way, your site starts today.
A 10-minute onboarding form: your business, your photos, your hours, and three sites you love.
AI builds fast; a professional designer directs and approves every screen. First look in three business days, two rounds of revisions included.
Live within the week. We host it, secure it, and update it. Send requests anytime; we handle them on your plan’s schedule.
Questions
Your plan’s $300 setup fee plus your first billing period. Yearly on Essentials: $300 + $780 = $1,080 today — that’s $65/mo with two months free, and nothing else until next year. Monthly on Essentials: $300 + 3 × $78 = $534 today, then $78/mo from month four.
One week from a finished onboarding form, for most sites — first look in about three business days, then revisions, then live. Bigger builds — multiple locations, ordering systems — can take a little longer, and we’ll tell you upfront.
Your domain is registered in your name and always yours. Your content — your photos, your words, your business information — is yours too. The website itself is different: the design and code are BrightFront’s build, and they stay with BrightFront. Think of it like a great rented storefront — you keep your name and everything in it, and the space itself stays with us.
Anything you’d naturally ask in one message: swap photos, change hours, add a menu item, rewrite a paragraph, add a section. Essentials handles one request each week. Pro and Growth run a priority queue — send as many as you like, and we work through them with next-business-day turnaround.
Yes — that’s normal. We write your copy from your onboarding answers, and we can work with phone photos, source licensed imagery, or guide you through a simple shoot.
Yes. Migrations get full redirect mapping, and your on-page SEO carries over. Most sites hold or improve their rankings after moving to a faster, better-structured build.
Online ordering, reservations, appointment booking, review feeds, gift cards, live chat, contact forms, maps, and more. If your tool has an embed or an API, we can usually connect it. Note: third-party platforms’ own fees (like an ordering system’s charges) are separate from your BrightFront plan.
More and more customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI instead of scrolling search results. GEO means structuring your site’s content and data so those AI engines can find your business, trust the facts, and recommend you by name. We build every site GEO-ready; on Growth, we monitor and tune it continuously.
On the Growth plan, it drafts fresh content for your site — posts, seasonal pages, offers — written in your voice. You get each draft to approve or edit; nothing publishes without your say-so. Fresh, useful content is one of the strongest signals for both Google and AI search.
Yes. Monthly plans: anytime after your first three months. Yearly plans: at the end of your year. Your site stays live through the end of what you’ve paid for, then comes down. Your domain and your content leave with you; the site’s design and code stay with BrightFront — that’s the part your subscription covers.
Light e-commerce, yes: gift cards, a small product line, order forms. Full catalogs with hundreds of products aren’t our focus — we’ll tell you honestly if you need a different tool.
Pro and Growth include a dedicated page for each location — its own hours, map, photos, and local SEO. It’s the single biggest lever for ranking in more than one neighborhood.
Anytime. Upgrades apply immediately; downgrades apply at your next billing cycle.
Your website is the face of your business — it should feel as premium as your work. Pick a plan, tell us your story, and be live in a week.
