Canopy Sites
You run your business. We'll run the website.
Canopy Sites is our full-service website offering. We design it, build it by hand, host it on our own servers, and handle your ongoing updates for one flat monthly rate.
How it works
Start with a working site
Instead of months of questionnaires and wireframes, we build a real, clickable version of your site first, so you have something concrete to react to.
Dial it in together
Tell us what to change. We swap in your photos, sharpen the copy, and adjust the design until it fits your business.
Launch on our servers
We point your domain and take over the technical upkeep. Hosting, SSL certificates, daily backups, and uptime monitoring are all handled in-house.
Send a message for updates
Changing your hours, posting an event, or updating a menu? Text us or use our update assistant and it gets taken care of.
We run the whole stack ourselves
We write your site's code, host it on servers we own, and build the tools it uses, instead of renting those pieces from someone else.
Measurably fast
Page builders bog down with unused code and typically score in the 40s on Google's speed test. Our sites are hand-coded and score near-100, which directly helps your search ranking.
No dashboards to learn
You never have to remember a password or dig through a backend you only touch twice a year. Message us or use our update assistant whenever something changes.
Our own servers, in Sacramento
We live here and run our own server hardware. When you reach out for help, you talk directly to the people watching the little green light blink on the server.
Private traffic stats included
Every site comes with self-hosted analytics built in. You see how customers find your business without feeding their data to ad networks or needing a cookie banner.
Open-source stack, full control
We build on open-source software and standard files rather than proprietary platforms. You are never at the mercy of a vendor hiking prices or changing the rules.
Yours to keep, anytime
Your domain stays in your name and your site is plain, portable code. If you ever decide to move on, we hand you the folder.
The tools under your site are ours, too
Instead of bolting third-party widgets onto your site, we build and run our own lightweight tools. Canopy Forms is live right now; go click around.

Let's build yours
Send us your current site or tell us a bit about your business. We'll put together a working draft so you can see what we'd build before committing to anything.
