The problem
When someone searches for what you sell, do they find you or someone else?
The most recent detailed studies come from the US. I show them as they are, with sources at the bottom of the page.
72%
They compare in minutes
72% of consumers look at three businesses or fewer before choosing, and 75% decide in under 30 minutes.1 If you're not on that short list, you don't exist to the customer.
73%
It all starts on the phone
73% of local searches start on mobile.1 And if a page takes longer than 3 seconds, 53% of visits are abandoned.2
97%
Your listing speaks before you do
97% read reviews of local businesses, and 85% say contact info and opening hours matter.1 Outdated hours send customers to a closed door.
Two things fix all of this: a complete Google profile and a site that loads instantly. That's what I do.
What's included
What a local business needs to be found and called

About me
Hi, I'm Drifter: a developer who lives where you do business.
I'm a software developer living in Costa Rica. I build apps and websites for real businesses, and I believe corner stores, bakeries, workshops and restaurants deserve the same quality online as the big brands.
I code your site myself, with no heavy templates or plugins. I keep everything simple: clear prices, honest timelines and a site you'll be proud of. I speak Spanish and English, and when you message me on WhatsApp, you get me, not a bot.
Pricing
Clear prices. One-time setup fee.
Prices in US dollars. Help with hosting and domain included the first year.
Do the math: how much does one new customer bring you? Divide the price by that amount and you'll know how many customers you need to earn it back.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a domain?
No. I help you register one (like yourbusiness.cr or .com) and connect everything.
What do you need from me?
Business name, logo (if you have one), a few photos, services and prices, address and hours. I'll guide you.
I already have Facebook or Instagram. Why do I need a website?
Social media helps, but people compare in several places: 75% use more than one channel in a local search, and 54% visit a business's website after reading positive reviews.1 Your site is the fixed point: hours, prices and a WhatsApp button, without depending on an algorithm.
Aren't there free options?
Yes, there are free platforms, and they work if you have time to build the site and keep it updated. I do it for you: your Google profile, your texts in Spanish and English, and the changes whenever you need them.
Do you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises it: Google states there is no way to pay for a better local ranking.3 What I do is make your information complete and correct, which is what Google uses to decide who to show.
Can I make changes later?
Yes, just message me. Small changes are part of the Care Plan or quoted fairly.
What if I don't like the draft?
Nothing is published without your approval. If something doesn't convince you, we adjust it before launch.
How do I pay?
SINPE Móvil, bank transfer or card. Half to start, half at launch.
