01Custom website design
Designed for your business specifically — never a template with your logo dropped in. Built, hosted and looked after by us.
What you get
A design made for your business, not a template other companies are also using.
where most of your visitors will actually see it.
Your own dashboard, so you can change text, prices, photos and products yourself, any time.
Secure hosting with SSL, so browsers never warn people away from your site.
page titles, descriptions, structured data and a sitemap submitted to Google.
a form, a WhatsApp link, or both.
Our process
01
What you sell, who buys it, and what you want the site to do. Usually a single conversation on WhatsApp or a call.
02
You see the design before it's built out, and again before it goes live. Changes at this stage are expected, not charged for.
03
Domain connected, SSL in place, submitted to Google. You get your dashboard login and a walkthrough of how to edit things.
04
Hosting, security, updates, backups and support from then on. This is the part most web designers hand back to you.
Builds start at US $499, then a monthly plan covers hosting, security, maintenance and support. Your first month is free.
The build is quoted for your business rather than fixed, because a three-page site for a service business and a ten-page site with an online store are genuinely different jobs. What doesn't change is that the price is agreed before we start.
If you want the full breakdown of what drives a website's price in Jamaica — and which costs most quotes leave out — ask us and we'll walk you through it.
Most sites go live in two to three weeks from the point we have your content, photos and logo.
The part that usually sets the pace is material from you. If you already have photographs and know what each page should say, it moves quickly. If you don't, we write the copy and can create the logo — that adds time but it's work we do rather than work you're left with.
A template is faster and cheaper, and it will look like the other businesses using it. That's the trade. For a shop competing on price it might not matter. For a business whose customers are deciding whether to trust you with money, it does — your website is often the first impression, and looking interchangeable is a real cost.
Custom also means the site is built around how your business actually works. If you take bookings, sell from a catalogue, or need customers to reach you on WhatsApp within one tap, that gets designed in rather than worked around.
Yes. Your domain is registered in your business's name, and your content is yours. Your site runs on Retiar's platform while you're subscribed — if you ever leave, you keep your content and your domain.
Yes. Your dashboard lets you change text, photos, prices and products, live, the moment you save. Or send us the change and we'll do it — both are included.
We can create the logo, and we'll advise on photography. Real photos of your premises, your team and your work lift a site more than almost any design decision, so it's worth getting them even if it delays launch slightly.
No minimum term. The monthly plan is month-to-month and you can cancel any time.
