Your website is working 24/7 to either win customers or lose them. A slow site, an outdated design, or a confusing mobile experience sends people straight to your competitor — and you never know it happened.
BretzMedia builds and maintains professional WordPress websites for local small businesses. Fast, mobile-first, and built from the ground up to support your local search rankings — not work against them.
We Flipped the Website Model: Free Build, $199/mo
Most shops charge $5,000 to $10,000 for a new website, and then you still pay someone to host and maintain it.
We do it backwards. The design and build are free. You pay $199/mo, and that covers everything: fast managed hosting, security, backups, maintenance, content updates, and support from a real person who knows your site. When it is time for a refresh down the road, we rebuild it at no cost to you.
No five-figure invoice. No surprise hosting bills. No paying twice when the design gets stale in three years. One flat monthly rate, and your website simply stays fast, secure, and current.

Why Your Website Matters More Than You Think
Most local business owners treat their website like a digital business card. Something they set up once, maybe update once a year, and otherwise forget about.
Meanwhile, every potential customer who finds you on Google visits your website before they call. What they see in those first three seconds determines whether they pick up the phone or keep scrolling.
Your website needs to:
- Load in under two seconds on a mobile connection
- Clearly communicate what you do and where you serve
- Make it easy to call, book, or contact you
- Support your Google rankings with proper technical structure
Most small business websites fail at least two of those. We fix all four.
Our Website Services
Managed WordPress Hosting
Your website’s foundation matters more than most business owners realize. Cheap, oversold shared hosting tanks your page speed, hurts your Google rankings, and goes down when you need it most.
We host client websites on fast, managed WordPress servers built for performance:
- Fast server response times optimized specifically for WordPress
- Daily automated backups stored off-site with 30-day retention
- Free SSL certificate with automatic renewal
- Security hardening and malware monitoring
- 99.9% uptime monitoring with alerts
When something goes wrong — and eventually it does — you’re not calling a generic support line. You’re calling us.
Website Maintenance & Care Plans
WordPress needs regular maintenance to stay fast, secure, and functional. Plugins get outdated. Security vulnerabilities appear. Content needs updating. If you’re running a business, you don’t have time to manage all of that.
Our maintenance plans cover:
- Weekly plugin and WordPress core updates
- Daily backups with 30-day recovery window
- Security monitoring and incident response
- Monthly performance review and reporting
- Content update requests (hours included depending on plan)
- Direct access to support when something breaks
No more dealing with plugin conflicts at 10pm because a customer reported your contact form doesn’t work.
Website Design & Development
A website redesign done right fixes the root causes of poor conversion — not just the visual aesthetics. We start by understanding what your customers need to see before they call you, then build a site that presents that information in the right order.
Every BretzMedia site is built with:
- Mobile-first design — The majority of local searches happen on phones. Your site is designed for mobile first, then scaled up to desktop.
- Conversion-focused layout — Clear calls to action above the fold, contact information visible without scrolling, easy-to-find service pages.
- Local SEO structure — Location pages, schema markup, and NAP consistency built into the architecture from day one.
- Fast load times — Performance is a design requirement, not an afterthought.
We build on the GeneratePress framework — fast, lightweight, and purpose-built for WordPress sites that need to perform.
Website Speed Optimization
Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. More importantly, slow websites lose customers. Every additional second of load time costs you conversions.
If your current site scores below 80 on Google PageSpeed Insights, you’re leaving both rankings and revenue on the table. We optimize:
- Image compression and next-gen formats (WebP, AVIF)
- Browser caching configuration
- JavaScript and CSS deferral and minification
- Server response time and hosting configuration
- Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS)
Most small business websites we work with score 40-60 on PageSpeed before optimization. After our work, they typically reach 85-95 — and Google notices.
The Integration Advantage
The biggest advantage of working with BretzMedia for both your website and your local SEO is integration.
Your website’s content reinforces your Google Business Profile. Your schema markup matches your local citations. Your service pages are built around the keywords your customers actually search. Your Local Growth Network partner links point to a fast, credible site that converts.
When your website and your SEO are managed separately, they often work against each other. When they’re managed together, they compound.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a new website?
A standard local business website (5-8 pages) typically takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to launch. We gather content and photos from you in week one, build in weeks two and three, and do revisions and launch prep in weeks four through six. Larger sites with many service or location pages take longer.
Do I own my website when you’re done?
Yes. You own your domain, your WordPress installation, and all your content. We don’t lock you into proprietary platforms you can’t move away from.
What does website maintenance cost?
$199/mo, and the new website itself is free. The plan includes hosting, security, daily backups, plugin updates, content update requests, and direct support. You’re replacing your current hosting and maintenance costs with one flat rate — and you never pay for a redesign again, because rebuilds are included when it’s time for a refresh.
Is the website really free?
Yes. We build your new site at no upfront cost. You pay $199/mo for hosting, maintenance, and support — the things every website needs anyway. We’d rather earn a long-term relationship than a one-time invoice. If you ever leave, you own your domain and your content.
Can you take over maintenance of a website I already have?
Yes. We do a technical audit first to make sure your existing site is in good shape, then onboard it to our hosting and maintenance system. If major issues come up in the audit, we’ll give you an honest assessment of whether a maintenance plan makes sense or whether a rebuild would serve you better long-term.
