The questions everyone asks, answered straight.

The deal is simple, so the answers are short. Anything else — email sparkle@siteonapproval.com · 415-297-6703 and ask Sparkle directly.

What does a website cost, total?

The tier price, and that's the total: $3,898 for Launch, $4,949 for Flagship. Half down to start — $1,949 or $2,475 — and the balance only when you approve the finished site. No monthly fee on top.

What if I don't like the finished site?

Then the balance isn't due. The balance is payable only when you approve the finished site, and revisions are included — 1 round with Launch, 2 rounds with Flagship — so we keep working until it earns your approval.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The files are your property, and they're portable — you can take them to your own accounts any time you ask. No hostage situations.

Are there monthly fees?

No. There is no monthly fee. You pay half down, you pay the balance when you approve the finished site, and that's it.

Do I have to sign up for hosting or accounts?

No — zero signups. We set up your domain, hosting, and email for you. You never create a single account.

How fast will it be ready?

Most builds are ready to review within days, not months. Once you approve the finished site and pay the balance, your site goes live the same day.

Will this get me to #1 on Google?

We don't promise Google rankings — anyone who guarantees you a ranking is selling you something. We promise a website that makes you look like the obvious choice when customers find you.

How it works — three steps, two of them yours.

Most web projects die in a swamp of accounts, logins, and settings you never asked for. Ours has exactly two moments where you do anything: you start it, and you approve it.

Step 1

Half down starts the build

Half down — $1,949 Launch, $2,475 Flagship — and we start. We set up your domain, hosting, and email in the background, without a single signup on your end.

Step 2

You approve the finished site

We build the whole thing — pages, words, photos, contact flow — and show it to you finished, revisions included (1 round Launch, 2 rounds Flagship). Most builds are ready to review within days.

Step 3

Balance paid, live same day

Approve it, pay the balance, and your site is live the same day. The files are yours — your property, portable any time you ask.

How we reach out

We don't send pitch decks.
We build a preview of YOUR website first.

If we contacted you, the preview link is in that message: a working preview of your actual business — your name, your towns, your services — built the way we'd build the real thing. Click around it. Show your partner. Sleep on it.

Like it? $3,898 (Launch) or $4,949 (Flagship) makes it real — your domain, your email, live, with the balance due only when you approve the finished site. Don't like it? You've lost nothing but the thirty seconds it took to look.

A small studio, on purpose.

Site On Approval is Loi Tran's studio — a small Bay Area outfit in Mill Valley that builds with an AI production team and human judgment on every page. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no forty-person agency pretending to care about your business. You deal with the people who build your site. That's why the price is flat and the turnaround is days: there's nobody in the middle to pay. Your first email goes to Sparkle at sparkle@siteonapproval.com · 415-297-6703 — a person reads it.

The price is on this page.
The balance waits for your approval.
