Every Torch site ships with these six components. Same baseline whether you're on Foundation or Growth.
Spec ref. D.02 / page 3Designed against your specific trades, services, and the towns you cover. Not a template with a logo swap. Each page written, not generated.
Sub-2-second load on a contractor's truck-cab phone. Passes Core Web Vitals on every page. Image optimization & lazy-loading baked in.
Schema.org markup, structured data, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, Google Business Profile integration, location-aware metadata.
Tap-to-call on mobile, sticky on scroll, optional tracking number. The site exists to deliver the call — every layout decision routes there.
Domain registration, hosting, SSL certificate, automated backups, uptime monitoring. You never log into a control panel — we run the stack.
New service, new phone, new photo, new review to feature — email us and we change it. No portal. No ticket. No change-request fee.
Two plans. Monthly. Cancel anytime. No setup fees, no revision fees, no surprise line items.

The questions trade owners ask first, answered straight. If yours isn't here, write to hello@torchsites.com.
Spec ref. Q.04 / page 5Each entry is a real question from a real intake conversation, kept on file. Direct answers — we don't soften the trade-offs.
File a new inquiry →We removed the meetings, briefs, revision rounds, and account-manager hand-offs that fill the average agency timeline. What's left is the building part. Your intake form gives us 95% of what other agencies spend three weeks "discovering." We start the build the hour you submit it, and we don't subcontract.
You walk away owing nothing. We don't take a deposit, we don't bill upfront. We do one revision pass if it's a small thing — wrong color, wrong copy register. If it's still wrong after that, the miss is ours, not yours.
You own it. The domain is in your name. The site files are yours. If you ever leave Torch, we hand the whole package over — code, content, domain. The monthly is for maintenance and hosting, not for renting your own website.
Email us when something changes. New service, new phone, fresh review, updated photos. We make the change. No portal, no ticketing system — just write us. Most edits are done same-day. We do not bill per change.
Trade owners have working capital tied up in trucks and parts, not in design retainers. Monthly means no big cash outlay, a finished site this week, and the technical part handled. If you'd rather pay once, ask in the intake form — we can do it that way too.
Yes. We started with Austin trades, but we build for home-service businesses anywhere in the US and Canada. The intake, the build, and the price are the same regardless of city.
Static HTML / Next.js depending on the build. Hosted on edge infrastructure, cached for sub-second response, deployed via a CDN with global presence. If you need a specific stack, tell us in the intake.
Send hello@torchsites.com the name of your business and the towns you cover. We'll reply with the intake form, build the site, and email you the finished preview before the weekend. No call required. No deposit. Nothing owed if you don't accept.
