Built before we reached out

Websites for people who already have a great business.

I'm Spencer, the builder behind ThisxLife. We build real websites for small businesses and professionals who have plenty of proof, reviews, and craft, but no site that reflects it. We build first, send the link, and let the work make the case.

You Preview It

We send you a link. Everything's working. See it before you spend a dime.

3

You Own It

One payment and it's yours. Live in minutes. We handle hosting and the contact form.

Before & After

Real builds. Drag the handle to see the transformation.

Website Rebuild

Spa Clean AVL

Kallie's cleaning company had an outdated Square template site that wasn't converting. We rebuilt it from scratch -- booking system, service pages, local SEO -- and delivered it in under a day.

Custom Build

American Woodlands Design Studio

John Pinkston has been designing custom mountain homes for 20 years, but his Wix site was 90% placeholder pages. We built a 6-page portfolio site showcasing his Houzz projects, design philosophy, and services.

No Hidden Costs

No required monthly fees.

Most website companies charge $16–$50/month just to keep your site online. We host yours for free after the build, forever. Want a person you can call for ongoing help? That's optional — one tier below at $79/mo, skip it if you don't need it.

$0
Monthly Hosting

Your site stays live on our servers. No Squarespace fees. No GoDaddy renewals. No Wix plans.

$0
Platform Fees

No Wix subscriptions. No WordPress plugins. No page builders charging you to edit your own site.

$0
Surprise Renewals

No auto-renewals. No credit card on file. You pay once and your site stays live. Period.

The average small business pays $300-$600 per year just to keep a basic website running. With us, your only cost is the one-time build fee. After that, it's yours.

Editor Included

The editor is yours. Free forever.

Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and most agency builds charge $16–$50 a month just for editor access. On your site it's $0. Unlimited edits. No seat limits. Nothing to cancel.

Need a new page, a bigger section, something custom? There's a built-in AI assistant for the bigger build-outs — describe what you want, it handles it.

Watch the editor live

Editor, hosting, the whole site. Pay once. Own it.

Pricing

One price. One decision. Done.

No tier ladder, no upsells, no monthly anything required. Pay once. Keep your site forever.

Your Website
$500
one payment, everything included
  • ✓Custom multi-page site, built from your photos, reviews, and voice
  • ✓Free hosting forever — not a trial, not a loss leader, actually free
  • ✓Free editor forever — change anything yourself, no subscription required
  • ✓301 redirects from your old site, so your Google rankings come with you

Your first year of domain is included. After that, ~$20/yr direct from the registrar.

Optional · Skip Both If You Want
Your site runs forever at $0/mo even if you skip these. The editor stays free. No card kept on file unless you choose ongoing support.

Want us around after launch?

Assist flags what's worth changing. Handled changes it for you.

Assist
$25/mo
Cancel any time.

Your site stays monitored. Every month we send a snapshot of what's happening plus specific suggestions for what you could improve.

  • ✓Monthly snapshot + improvement suggestions — what's working, what could be better, opportunities we noticed
  • ✓New reviews flagged (Google / Yelp / Facebook) — positive and negative, so you can respond or add the good ones to your site
  • ✓New testimonials, photos, and videos surfaced from your social feeds — ready to drop into your site
  • ✓New features as we ship them — when we build something useful (booking widget, gallery upgrade, etc.), you hear about it first
  • ✓Uptime + contact-form monitoring — we catch breakage before your customers do
  • ✓Quarterly SEO + local-listings check (rankings, broken links, Google Business Profile consistency)
  • ✓Annual domain renewal covered
Handled
$79/mo
Cancel any time. No minimum.

Everything in Assist, except we do the work too. Tell us which suggestions you like and we roll them out. You don't lift a finger.

  • ✓Everything in Assist (monitoring, monthly snapshot, suggestions)
  • ✓We implement the changes you approve — new testimonials, fresh photos, copy refreshes, new features. Just tell us yes or no; we handle it.
  • ✓Monthly blog post or newsletter — your choice. Keeps your customers engaged and your SEO fresh.
  • ✓48-hour response on everything, priority queue
  • ✓Bigger custom asks (new service line, full redesign of a section) quoted at $150/hr before work starts

No auto-enroll. If you choose Assist or Handled, Stripe keeps the card on file for that support tier; if you skip both, it does not. Need one-off help without a subscription? Work requests at $150/hr, 15-min minimum, estimate first. Start on Assist and upgrade to Handled any time — or jump straight in if you'd rather we just handle it.

Straight Answers

What you're actually wondering.

How fast can I have this live?

Minutes. The site is already built. Point your domain at us and it's live.

Our wizard walks you through it. For a lot of registrars it's one click. Under an hour either way.

Is there a subscription or hidden monthly fee?

No. $500 once. That's it. Hosting is free. The editor is free. No card kept on file.

Assist ($25/mo) and Handled ($79/mo) are optional. You only pay if you ask for them.

What if I don't like it?

You see it before you pay. Click around, show your partner, sleep on it.

If something's off, tell us and we'll fix it. If it's still not right, walk away. You owe nothing. Already paid? You've got a week to ask for a refund.

What do I actually own?

Everything. The code. Your domain. Your Google rankings. The editor, free forever.

If you ever want to leave, we send you the files. No fee. No drama.

Can I host it somewhere other than yours?

Yes. Same $500. We send you the files and the setup notes.

One thing to know: Wix and Squarespace don't allow outside code. If you want to stay on those, we're not your fit. Any normal host works.

Still wondering? The site's ready when you are.

Spencer and Bela Kamalova-Wright
Who We Are

Real people, real builds, no agency runaround.

We're Spencer and Bela Kamalova-Wright, based in North Carolina. We build and operate Asheville Forest Baths -- a luxury forest-spa retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Before that, we designed a tiny house in California that was featured in over 20 major publications.

ThisxSite is the website arm of our consulting practice. We build finished websites for operators, service businesses, and professionals who already have the raw material -- reviews, photos, proof, and real work -- but do not have a site that carries it well.

Every site is custom-designed using your real photos, real reviews, and real business details. We don't do templates. We don't do monthly fees. We build it, you see it, and if you like it, one payment and it's yours.
