Why We Exist
Most small businesses in the trades — HVAC companies, auto repair shops, plumbers, contractors — have websites that don't do them justice. Either the site was built ten years ago and never updated, or it's a clunky template that looks like everyone else's.
These are businesses doing excellent work. Their online presence should reflect that. But hiring a traditional web agency means spending $3,000-$10,000 and waiting weeks. That's not realistic for a shop pulling in $300K a year.
We started Relay North Studio with a different approach: build the site first, show it to the business owner, and let the work speak for itself. No sales calls. No deposits. You see it before you pay.
Our Approach
We research your business, your market, and your competitors. Then we build you a custom website — not a cookie-cutter template, but a real, hand-built site designed for your specific business.
You get a live preview link. If you like what you see, you pay a one-time fee and we launch it. If you don't, no hard feelings. We believe our work should sell itself.
What We Specialize In
We work exclusively with service-based, trade businesses. HVAC, plumbing, auto repair, roofing, landscaping, general contracting — if you work with your hands, we build for you. This focus means we understand what your customers are looking for when they search for a business like yours.
We know that your potential customer is probably on their phone, probably in a hurry, and probably comparing you to two or three competitors. Our sites are built to make that decision easy.
The Relay North Difference
We're not a big agency. We don't have account managers or project coordinators. We're a small studio that does one thing well: build clean, fast, professional websites for trade businesses at a price that makes sense.
No monthly fees. No recurring charges. No lock-in contracts. You pay once, you own your site outright, and you can host it wherever you want.
