Your customers are on their phones. Is your website?
We upgrade old websites for local businesses, no tech skills needed.
We rebuild outdated small-business websites into fast, mobile-first sites with a big tap-to-call button. You see your whole website, every page, redesigned as 3 free concepts, each in a different style, using your own logo and photos, before you decide anything. $200 flat for the whole site, and you pay after seeing it finished.
- See it finished before you pay
- You own your site
- Live within 7 days of payment, or a 100% refund*
- No long-term contract
*Time spent waiting on your replies or domain changes doesn't count. See our refund policy.
Got an email from Nam Nguyen with 3 designs for your business? That was us.
Just reply to that email with A, B or C, or ask anything. You don't pay a cent until you've seen your finished site.
Most local websites were built for a desktop in 2012
When someone's furnace quits at 7 a.m., they grab their phone and search. If your site takes 10+ seconds to load, makes them pinch and zoom, or hides your phone number in tiny text, they hit "back" and call the next company.
Slow on phones
Heavy pages that take 10+ seconds on a cellular connection.
No tap-to-call
Your phone number is small text, not a big button people can tap to call.
"Not secure" warnings
Those warnings, plus an old © year, make people wonder if you're still open.
See it first. Decide later.
We make 3 free concepts.
We redesign your whole current site, every page, 3 different ways, each in its own style, using your own logo, photos and wording. All of them are faster and mobile-first. No cost, no obligation.
You pick one.
Open them on your phone. Like one? Reply with its letter (A, B or C), or ask for a mix (say, the colors of B with the layout of A), and we'll send a one-page proposal. Don't? Ignore them — we'll take them down.
You review it, then pay.
We finish your whole site and send it to you to review within 48 hours, with up to 5 rounds of changes. When you're happy, reply "approved" and pay a standard PayPal invoice. We put it live on your domain within 7 days of payment, or your money back*.

Questions owners ask us
Are the concepts really free?
Yes. We build them before you pay anything so you can judge real work, not a sales pitch. If they're not for you, just say so and we'll take them down.
Why is it so affordable?
We're a small studio, we focus on one thing (fast, simple websites for local service businesses), and we use modern tools that cut out a lot of busywork. That's how we keep the price flat.
How many pages are included?
All of them. The $200 covers every page your current site has, redesigned in the concept you pick. If you'd like something your current site doesn't do yet, like online booking or a store, we'll quote it separately before any work starts.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Once it's paid, the site and all its files are yours, whether or not you choose the Care plan, and you can move it to any host.
Will this mess up my email or domain?
No. Your domain stays in your name and we never ask for passwords. You change one or two settings that point your domain to the new site (we send simple steps, or do it with you on a short call), and your email stays exactly as it is.
Do you guarantee I'll rank #1 on Google?
No, and be careful of anyone who does. We set up the on-page basics properly (titles, descriptions, headings, your service area, fast load time) so Google can understand your site.
What do you need from me?
Just your go-ahead and the email address where contact-form messages should go. We work from the logo, photos and wording already on your website. If you'd like anything changed, send it as one list per round of changes.
How do I pay?
After you've reviewed the finished site and replied "approved", you get a standard PayPal invoice. We never see your card details. Once it's paid, your site goes live on your domain within 7 days of payment, or you get 100% back (time waiting on your replies or domain changes doesn't count).
What if I'm not happy with it?
You don't pay until you've seen the finished site, and you get up to 5 rounds of changes first. After you pay, if we miss the 7-day go-live, you get 100% back (time spent waiting on your replies or domain changes doesn't count). See our refund policy.
Who's behind The Upgrade Folks?
I'm Nam Nguyen. I run The Upgrade Folks, a small web studio based in Vietnam, and I personally read and send every email. No call centers, no long-term contracts. We're new, so you won't find reviews of us yet; that's why you see the work before you pay.
Want to see your new website?
