I'm Carter. I run a tint & window shop in Arizona — auto tint, residential tint, window cleaning — and I build hand-coded websites for plumbers, salons, contractors, lawyers, realtors, and other small business owners who'd rather be on the job than fighting with Squarespace. No templates. No drag-and-drop. Just sites that bring you customers.

Does any of this feel familiar?

✓

Most of your new business comes from Facebook or word of mouth — your website is just a placeholder.

✓

You tried Squarespace or Wix and hated every minute. The thing still doesn't look right.

✓

Customers call to ask prices that are technically already on your site — they just couldn't find them.

✓

You're missing calls because your phone number isn't tap-to-call on mobile, or buried in a Contact page.

✓

Your competitor's site looks more professional than they actually are. You're tired of looking the smaller player.

✓

You've been "meaning to fix the website" for two years. You're better at your craft than at being your own marketer.

If even one of those landed — good news.
I built my own shop's site for the exact same reasons. Now I fix this for a living.

So you need a website?

Here's what a great one actually does — and what yours could look like.

01 / Phone rings

A customer finds you.

They Google "plumber near me" at 9pm. Your site loads in under a second, looks sharp on their phone, and the tap-to-call button is right there. Phone rings.

02 / Slot booked

They book themselves.

No back-and-forth texts. No missed calls. Your site shows your real availability — they pick a time, confirm, done. You see it on your phone two seconds later.

03 / Quote sent

Estimates go out in minutes.

Smart forms collect everything you need before the call — square footage, photos, address. You quote faster than every other contractor in town.

04 / Reviews compound

Happy clients multiply.

Auto-trigger a review request after every job. Your site shows the real ones front and center. Five-star social proof doing the selling for you while you sleep.

05 / Booked solid

Your calendar fills itself.

This is what a real website does. Not a brochure. Not a business card. A 24/7 sales rep that books jobs while you're driving home from the last one.

"Why I do this — in my own words." (Recording this week.)

Hi, I'm Carter.

I run shadesupaz.com — my tint & window-services shop here in Arizona. Most customers come to my shop for auto tint, and I go mobile for residential tint and window cleaning. Small business, real hands, real customers. Same as yours.

Last year I needed a website. Couldn't afford an agency. Hated every Squarespace template I touched. So I sat down, opened YouTube, and learned to code it myself. Three months later it was live — fast, mobile-first, bringing me real bookings.

Then a buddy who runs a detail shop asked if I'd do his. Then a friend's salon. Then a referral. That's how CodebyCarter got started — by accident. I never planned on being a web guy. I just got good at it trying to fix my own business, and it turns out a lot of other small businesses are stuck in the same place I was.

The only thing I'm better at than tinting is building websites.

So I started this studio with one rule: no templates, ever. Every small business owner I know is paying real money for a site that looks like every other site in their industry. Templates compress your story into someone else's design. I'd rather sit with you for thirty minutes, hear about your work, and build you something that actually sounds like you.

No frameworks. No drag-and-drop. No subcontractors. No agency markups. Just me — one person who runs a service business by day — on the keyboard at night, building one site at a time.

Chapter 04 · of 04

Ready to build it?

Process. Pricing. Guarantee. The 30-min call where we figure out if we're a fit — no pressure.

04 — How it works

From idea to live, in two weeks.

A 14-day journey, day-by-day. No mystery, no "we'll get back to you next month."

Discovery call

30 minutes. We talk about your business, your audience, and what success actually looks like. No pitch deck, no fluff.

Design & direction

I draft a moodboard and one core design direction. We refine until it feels unmistakably yours — usually within a week.

Build & polish

Hand-coded, page by page. You get a live preview link and can review changes in real time. Every animation, every pixel.

Launch & support

I deploy, set up analytics, and walk you through edits. Optional care plans keep your site fast and current.

Your part

All I need from you is your vision.

You don't write a single line. You don't pick fonts. You don't agonize over colors. You tell me about your business, I show you what's possible, and I handle the rest. Three steps. That's it.

01 · Free call

30-minute call. Zero pressure.

We hop on a quick call. You tell me about your business, your customers, and what's been frustrating about your current site (or lack of one). I sketch out what I'd build for you — no commitment yet.

02 · Reserve your slot

$99 holds your build slot.

If we're a fit, a small refundable deposit locks in your spot on my calendar. I only take a few projects at a time — this keeps me focused and gets you a real launch date, not a "maybe next month."

03 · I build · you review

You watch it come to life.

I start building. You get progress updates and a private preview link as I go. We refine together until it's right. Then we launch. Deposit gets fully credited to your final cost.

Why the $99 deposit?

Real talk — it filters out tire-kickers so I can give serious clients my full attention. It's 100% refundable within 7 days if we decide we're not a fit. And if we move forward, every dollar of it gets credited toward your final cost. You're not paying extra, you're just reserving the slot.

Start with the free 30-min call
No payment until we agree it's right
My commitment to you

Your site brings you a new lead in 60 days —
or I rebuild it, free.

No fine print. No "well actually." If 60 days pass after launch and the site hasn't produced a single inquiry, I'll either rebuild it from scratch at zero cost, or refund your last 30 days of subscription fees. Your call, not mine.

  • ✓
    30-day money-back window. Don't like the build at launch? Tell me in the first 30 days, full refund, no questions asked, no awkward email.
  • ✓
    Own it outright, anytime. Pay one-time and the site is yours forever. On a monthly plan and want to keep the site after cancelling? Buy out the source code at a fair flat rate — no hostage situations, no inflated buyout fees, your domain stays yours regardless.
  • ✓
    Direct line to me, forever. No support tickets. No outsourced chat. My phone. My email. Every single time, within one business day.
Start a project — risk-free

Carter

Always-on partnership

Your site is never finished. It just gets better.

Most agencies hand you a site and vanish. Mine doesn't sit still. Running a holiday special? Adding a new service? Got a fresh five-star review? Just text me. Most edits ship the same week — often the same day. Your site stays current because your business never stops moving.

Text me when

You're running a promo

Memorial Day 20% off? Spring cleaning special? I'll spin up a banner and matching landing block — usually live by tomorrow.

Text me when

You add a new service

Started offering pressure washing on top of window cleaning? New page, new pricing, new photos — wired into your site within the week.

Text me when

A great review comes in

Customer left you a five-star review with a great story? Send it over — I'll feature it on the homepage so the next prospect sees it first.

Text me when

Hours, prices, anything shifts

New holiday hours? Bumped your rates? Moved locations? One text and it's done — no logging in, no fighting a CMS, no broken layouts.

Most edits are included in monthly plans.

No surprise invoices for tweaks. No "billable hours" for swapping a photo. Reasonable ongoing edits come with the plan — bigger projects (new pages, total redesigns) get scoped upfront so nothing's a surprise.

Set it and forget it   →   Set it and grow it.
Real talk · the $99

Your deposit costs less than an oil change.

$99 reserves your build slot and gets credited 100% to your final cost. If we're not a fit in 7 days, I refund every dollar — no questions. Here's what $99 actually buys you in the real world:

1.5
Tanks of gas
1
Oil change
20
Coffees
2
Dinners out

You spend more on Friday lunch than on holding a slot for a site that brings you customers for years.

05 — Pricing

Honest pricing. No surprises.

Most clients go monthly — small upfront, everything handled (hosting, edits, backups, security), cancel anytime. Or pay once and own the source code outright. Same custom craft either way. Prices below are starting points — every quote happens after a free 30-min call so I can scope your actual needs.

One-time builds ship with full source code so you own everything outright; Pro one-time owners can add the $10/mo update plan (up to 6 updates a month) so I stay on call for changes. Every price is a starting point — the actual quote is scoped on our free 30-min call based on your industry, pages, and features. Yearly billing saves you two months on any monthly tier.

06 — Will it pay for itself?

Do the math.

Slide the values to match your business. The site pays for itself the moment it brings you new clients you wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

What's one new client worth? $500
$50$5,000
New clients/month from the site 2
120
extra revenue / year
$12,000
from the site alone.

Math based on the Pro one-time tier ($2,000). Monthly plans scale with the same logic — most service businesses break even within the first 1–2 client wins. Be honest with the sliders.

07 — Real questions, real answers

Things you're probably wondering.

Click any question to expand. If yours isn't here, just ask in the contact form below — I answer every message personally within one business day.

Will my site actually show up on Google?
Yes — every site I build comes with SEO baked in. That includes proper meta tags, schema markup, fast loads (sub-second), mobile-perfect design, sitemap, and submission to Google Search Console. For local service businesses I also set up your Google Business profile, embed your map, and make sure your reviews show up.
How do updates work — new hours, prices, photos?
Straight answer: I handle every update — you don't touch code. You text or email me what changed (new hours, a price bump, fresh photos, a seasonal promo) and I make it happen. That's on purpose — it keeps your site from ever breaking. Here's how it works by plan:

• Monthly plans — updates are included. Just send them over, no extra charge.
• One-time Pro builds — you own the site outright. Want me on call for changes? Add the update plan: $10/mo for up to 6 updates a month. No add-on? No problem — you can still call me anytime and pay per change.
What happens if I cancel my monthly plan?
Your site stays live as long as you stay subscribed. When you cancel, you have two options: take a static snapshot to host yourself (free), or pay a one-time export fee to take ownership of the source code and host it anywhere. I never hold your domain hostage.
Do you build for my industry?
Almost certainly, yes. The Style Lab above shows the visual ranges I can work in — restaurants, salons, trades, legal, real estate, wellness, auto, retail, creators. I don't build templates — every site starts with a call about your business. CodebyCarter is a new studio, so you might be among my first clients in your industry. That just means more attention on you, not less.
How fast can it go live?
Starter sites: ~7 days from kickoff. Pro sites: 2–3 weeks. Custom builds: scoped on the call, but typically 3–6 weeks. I currently book 1–2 weeks out, so the sooner we talk, the sooner you launch.
Will it work on phones?
Every site is designed phone-first. Most service-business customers find you on Google from their phone — if your site looks bad on mobile, you lose the lead before they read a word. Try the device toggle in the Style Lab above to see how a site I'd build reflows.
What about online booking, click-to-call, reviews, Google Maps?
All of it. Click-to-call on every page. Online scheduling via Calendly, Square, Acuity, Vagaro, or whatever you already use. Google Reviews embedded with live star count. Maps embedded with directions. Lead-capture forms that email you instantly. I build for getting you on the phone with new customers, not just looking pretty.
What happens after my site is live?
You're not abandoned. Pro & Custom tiers include 2 weeks of post-launch tweaks free. Monthly plans include ongoing edits, security, backups, and direct access to me — not a ticket queue. One-time Pro owners can add the $10/mo update plan (up to 6 updates a month) or just call when something needs attention.

Visualizer · just a preview

Visualize YOUR site, right now.

Pick your industry. Pick your color. Pick your vibe. Type your business name. Watch a preview render on the right in real-time.

Heads up This is a visualizer, not a real site builder. It's a 30-second tease of what your site could feel like. The real build happens after we talk.

And if my site can build you a preview in four clicks, just imagine what I could build when I've got weeks and your full vision.

07 — The end (or your beginning)

This was just a demo.
Yours can be wilder.

Your site shouldn't blend in. Yours won't. Same craft I put into shadesupaz.com goes into every site I build — hand-coded, mobile-first, designed to convert.
