Restock Notify

Software for independent retailers: when a sold-out product comes back, it tells the customers who asked for it, and it helps shops win back regulars who stopped coming in.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what the site needs to do. We bill by the hour, and you get a written estimate before any work starts. You never pay more than the estimate without approving it first. Tell us your budget on the project form and we'll plan the site to fit it.

How long does it take?

Most websites launch 2 to 4 weeks after you approve the written plan. Online stores usually take 3 to 6 weeks. Custom software starts with a first working version in a few weeks. Your plan includes a launch date before we start.

Do you work with contractors and trades?

Yes, it's most of what we do: construction, remodeling, roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and landscaping, plus shops, cafés and service businesses. See the demo sites for examples.

I don't have photos or written copy. Is that a problem?

No. We write the copy for you in your voice, and you approve every word. If you need photos, we'll tell you exactly which shots to take on your phone, or use your best job photos.

Will my site show up on Google?

Every site is set up for local search: pages for the areas you serve, business details Google can read, a sitemap, and a link to your Google Business Profile. No one can honestly guarantee a #1 ranking, but we make sure nothing on your site holds you back.

Can I make changes myself after launch?

Yes, we'll show you how. Or text us and we'll make the change for you with Hosting & care, billed only for the real time it takes.

Do you only work with businesses in Wisconsin?

No. We work across the Midwest and take remote projects anywhere in the U.S. Most of the process happens over calls, video and preview links, so distance doesn't slow anything down.

What do I need to get started?

Just a few minutes for the project form or a message. We'll set up a short call, then send a written plan with the estimate and the date.
