Elevare Studio.
We design it, build it, host it, pay for the domain and make changes whenever you ask. You get 100% of every payment your customers make, straight into your own account. At the end of the month we send you a bill for our percentage. If the site sold nothing, there is no bill.
No card, no contract to sign today, no meeting. It starts with a form.
A form, not a phone call. What you sell, what you charge, what you want it to look like, and a few photos. Fifteen minutes at your kitchen table.
Built for your business from scratch. No template, and no other client’s site with your logo dropped on it. You look at it and tell us what is wrong, and we keep changing it until you are happy. The build clock starts when you have sent us your photos, your service list and your payment access, not the day you sign up.
Your customers pay you. Every dollar goes into your own account on your own payout schedule. At the end of the month we send you one invoice for our percentage, with the list of transactions it was worked out from, so you can check it line by line.
There is no tier above this one and nothing to add on later.
Two things sit outside it. Ad spend is yours, because it is your money going to the ad platform. And a genuinely big custom build, like a native phone app or an unusual integration with software you already run, is quoted as its own project starting at $500. Everything short of that is a change, and changes are unlimited.
10%
of the deposits your site books
A deposit paid online to hold a booking. An appointment, a table, a repair slot, a session, anything booked in advance.
A $50 deposit costs you $5.
5%
of everything else your site takes
Product orders, full payments, anything else paid for through the site.
A $200 order costs you $10.
Both rates can apply to the same business in the same month. A restaurant that takes a $50 deposit for a private party and also sells a $40 jar of its own sauce online is billed $5 and $2. A shop that never takes a deposit only ever meets the 5% rate.
That is the entire price list. No setup fee, no monthly fee, no hosting bill, no domain bill, no charge for changes, and no minimum.
We never take anything out of your payments. Your customers pay you, all of it, into your account. We send you a bill at the end of the month and you pay it like any other supplier invoice.
The percentage only applies to money that goes through the site. A customer books online, pays a $50 deposit and then hands you $150 in person when the job is done. We bill $5. The $150 is yours and we never see it.
Fair question. A free website that stays free is the kind of offer people get burned by, so here is every string attached, in one place, before you give us anything.
That is the actual deal and there is no version of it where we win and you don’t. If your site never sells anything, we spent weeks building it and earned nothing. It is why we care whether the booking page is any good, and it is also why we cannot afford to take on a business that is never going to sell online.
This is the real one, so we are putting it here rather than in the small print. Your domain is registered in our name and the site runs on our hosting. That is how the build costs you nothing upfront. You own your content, your brand, your Stripe account, your Google listing and your social accounts, and you always did. If you want to own the website outright, there is a buyout price in the agreement: whatever you owe us, plus twelve months of fees. Pay it and the domain transfers to you.
We bill on the money that goes through the site we built. Cash, card in the shop, phone orders, Venmo, Zelle, anything you take in person earns us nothing, even from the same customer on the same day. We do not see your books and we do not want to.
If the site makes no sales for three months in a row, the arrangement ends on 30 days’ notice. Any single sale resets the count. At the end of the second empty month we write to you first, and that letter comes with an offer to help, because a site selling nothing usually has a fixable problem and fixing it is our job.
If invoices go unpaid, you get three written notices with a chance to pay after each one. If they are all missed, we take the site offline and replace it with a holding page. Nothing is deleted, your customer data is kept, and the domain is not sold or handed to anyone else. That whole ladder takes months and a person sends every notice.
Example figures, not a real client.
A typical deposit
Deposits your site books a month
Everything else your site sells a month
10% of $1,250.00 in deposits, plus 5% of $250.00 in other sales.
Your customer pays you. The full amount lands in your own payment account on your own payout schedule, into your own bank. Nothing is deducted, nothing is held back and no money passes through us at any point. After the month ends we work out the percentage from the sales the site made, and send you one invoice.
Elevare is built for any local business that takes bookings or sells online. It happens that the first site to run the system for real is a salon.
These are sites we built. They are live on their own domains right now, and none of them is a demo. Open any of them and judge for yourself.
fantaafricanhair.com (opens in a new tab)
A braiding salon in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Customers pick a service, choose a time and pay a deposit online to hold the slot. The deposit goes into the salon’s own account.
Family. This is the owner’s mother-in-law’s salon, and it is where the booking and deposit system was first built and first used for real.
flavornews.net (opens in a new tab)
A local newspaper for Richmond, Hopewell and Petersburg, Virginia, with a monthly print edition, video broadcasts and the stories online.
Family. It is the owner’s family’s newspaper.
rootedbyel.com (opens in a new tab)
A Rhode Island plant and landscape design studio. Houseplants sold through the site, plus the garden work and a journal.
thepetalandthreads.com (opens in a new tab)
Handmade bags and accessories sewn one at a time in Connecticut, from natural and upcycled fabric, sold through the site.
Where a business on that list is family, it says so under the name, because we would rather tell you than let you find out. Elevare is run by one person and some of this work is his own family’s. Those are working sites doing a real job, and they are not arm’s-length clients, and you should weigh them knowing both of those things.
That is the whole claim: we built these and they are running. Nothing on that list is a recommendation of us, and you should not read it as one. We are not going to put a made-up number next to any of them either. When we have a client whose results we can show you with their permission, we will show you the results.
Elevare Studio is ELEVARESTUDIO LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company, filed with the Connecticut Secretary of State on December 23, 2025 under filing 0014048019. It is run by one person.
