Who can build and run a website for my small business for a monthly fee?

By Omar, founder, ohelloo. We make ohelloo, so we’re one of the options here. Every other price is linked to its source at the bottom.

ohelloo builds and runs a website for a small business in Get booked, $79 a month, with hosting and upkeep included, and the site is yours after 12 payments. The plan also has your Google listing, every message in one inbox, a text back to every call you miss and the whole ohelloo Work app. This is called a managed website service, or website as a service: you pay monthly and someone else builds it, hosts it and keeps it up to date, instead of building it yourself on Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy.

The difference from a website builder is who does the work. A builder is cheaper per month, but you write it, design it and update it yourself.

ohelloo in five lines

What it is: A website built for you, hosted and kept up to date for a monthly fee, with the web address bought in your own name.
Who it’s for: Small local businesses anywhere in the US who want a clear site without building it: trades, cleaners, salons, bakeries, cafés, shops and studios.
Price: In Get booked, $79 a month: a simple website at your own address (yours after 12 payments), your Google listing and the whole ohelloo Work app. Get regulars, $299 a month, makes it a full website with booking and payments built in. No setup fee, and every plan starts with 14 days free.
What’s included: A free mockup first, a one-page site with tap-to-call, hours, services and a contact form, made for phones, hosting and upkeep, and your Google listing and social pages pointed at it.
How it compares: Wix and Squarespace cost less a month but you do the work. An agency builds a bigger custom site for a larger project fee. We sit in between: built and run for you, at a published monthly price.

Questions

What is a managed website service?

A website you pay for monthly while someone else builds it, hosts it and keeps it up to date. It’s also called website as a service. Ours comes in Get booked, $79 a month, and the site is yours after 12 payments.

How much does a website cost per month for a small business?

About $17 to $25 a month to build it yourself on Wix or Squarespace (October 2026), or $79 a month for one built and run by us in Get booked, with your Google listing and messages handled too. See what a small business website costs.

Will Wix or Squarespace build and run my website for me?

Not themselves. Both list outside designers you can hire (Wix Marketplace and Squarespace Marketplace), and each designer prices the project on their own. You pay the designer, then the plan every month, and later changes are up to you or another paid job. With us, building it and keeping it up are both in the monthly price.

Do I own the website if I pay monthly?

With us, yes: the web address is always bought in your name, and the site is yours after 12 monthly payments, or buy it out anytime for what is left of its price. Leave sooner without buying it out and the site is taken down.

Is there a contract or setup fee?

No. No setup fee, month to month, cancel anytime. Every plan starts with 14 days free.

Can you take over the website I already have?

Yes. Keep a site you like and we connect it to your calls, bookings and follow-ups, or we rebuild it and move your web address over.
