A real website for your business, without the agency price tag.

I'm a sophomore in Connecticut who builds clean, professional one-page websites for local businesses. Flat $500, done in a week, yours to keep — no monthly fees, no contracts, no nonsense.

Four steps. About a week.

No long meetings. No design committees. No surprise invoices. You see what you're getting before you pay anything.

Step 01

15-minute call

We talk about your business, who you serve, what you want the site to do. That's it.

Step 02

Free sample

I build a real working sample of your site — for free. You see exactly what you'd be getting.

Step 03

You decide

Love it? $500 flat, I finish it and put it live. Not for you? Keep the sample, no charge.

Step 04

Live in a week

Your site goes live on its own domain. You own the code, the content, all of it.

What your site could look like.

Here's a real site I built recently — clean, professional, mobile-friendly, and put together with attention to actual local-business details: services, service area, big visible phone number, trust signals.

The $500 site stands on its own. But if you want logo design, photos, Google visibility, or someone keeping it updated for you — that's available too. Pick what you need, skip what you don't.

Maintenance & updates

This is what makes you show up on Google Maps with hours, reviews, and photos. Most local businesses have this set up wrong. I'll fix it or build it from scratch.

Clean, simple, professional logo that works on your site, your truck, your business cards. Two rounds of revisions.

CT-area only

Local photo shoot

$150flat

I come to your location with a real camera and take 10-15 clean shots of your work, your truck, your team. Use them on the site or anywhere.

Recurring

Hosting + domain managed

$15/month

I handle hosting, domain renewal, SSL, backups. One bill, no surprises, no tech to deal with.

Also available, ask for pricing: Google Ads management · Social media management & posting · Monthly blog content · Email newsletters

Most local businesses are losing jobs they don't even know about.

When somebody needs a plumber, an electrician, a landscaper — they Google it. The businesses with a clean website get the call. The ones without get skipped.

You don't need a $3,000 agency build. You need a real site that loads fast, shows your work, and has your phone number front and center. That's what I build.

  1. Flat $500. That's the whole price.No monthly fees, no hosting fees, no upsells. You pay once and you own the site.
  2. You see a free sample first.I build a working version of your site before you commit. If you don't like it, you don't pay anything.
  3. Done in about a week.No three-month design process. Quick, clean, professional.
  4. Built to work on phones.Most of your customers will see your site on a phone. I build mobile-first so it looks right everywhere.

Hi. I'm Leo.

I'm a sophomore at a high school in Connecticut. I've been coding for a few years, and I started Level Up Local to build real, professional websites for local businesses over the summer.

Here's the honest version: I can charge $500 because I'm a student building my portfolio, not an agency with an office and a payroll. You get an agency-quality site at a fraction of the price. I get real clients I can point to. That works for both of us.

If you want to see what I'd build for you before you decide anything, that's what the free sample is for. No commitment, no sales pressure.

Things people always ask.

Is $500 really the whole price?

Yes. Flat fee. One payment. No monthly hosting fees, no maintenance contract, no surprise invoices. You get a finished website that's yours to keep.

Why so cheap compared to agencies?

Because I'm a high school student, not an agency. No office, no payroll, no account managers. I'm building my portfolio with real clients — you get a great site cheap, I get a real business I can show future clients. It works for both of us.

What if I don't like the sample?

Then you don't pay. The free sample is exactly that — free. If it's not for you, no hard feelings, no obligation. You can even keep what I built.

Do I need to provide content, photos, all that?

Nope. I work with what you have. If you have photos and copy already, great. If not, I'll use professional stock imagery and write the copy based on our 15-minute call. You approve everything before it goes live.

What about a domain and hosting?

I'll help you get a domain (usually $10–15/year, paid to the registrar, not me) and I host the site for free on modern infrastructure. No monthly hosting fees coming to me.

What if I need changes later?

Small tweaks within the first 30 days are included. After that, you can grab the optional Maintenance plan at $50/month and just text me whenever something needs changing — new hours, new photos, new services, whatever. Or you can edit it yourself; I'll show you how.

How do Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram) work?

You decide the budget — most local businesses start at $10–30/day in ad spend, which you pay directly to Meta. I handle everything else: setting up your ad account, designing the ads, targeting the right audience (location, age, interests), and adjusting based on what's working. My management fee is $300/month flat, plus a one-time $200 setup. You get a monthly report showing what worked and what didn't.

Do you do logos, photos, Google Business stuff?

Yes — those are optional add-ons. See the add-ons section above for pricing. Most clients start with just the $500 site and add things later once they see results.

How old are you, exactly?

I'm 15. I've been coding since I was 12. I take the work seriously, I show up on time, and I deliver what I promise. The age is honestly the only reason this costs $500 instead of $3,000 — and you get to see the work before you pay anything.

Want to see what your site could look like?

15-minute call. I'll build you a free sample. If you like it, $500. If not, no worries — keep the sample either way.
