- SUPPORT
- A person, by phone
01 — Flight plan
Five stages. You always know which one you’re in.
Stage 01 · Call · Duration
30 minutes
At your place or by phone. No prep needed.
You
Tell me what your business does, who your customers are, and what isn’t working about your current site (or not having one).
Us
I look at your current site, how people find you on Google, and what similar businesses nearby are doing.
Stage 02 · Quote · Duration
A few days
One page. A fixed build price and a fixed monthly price.
You
Read it, ask questions, sign it or don’t. Nothing starts until you do.
Us
Write down exactly what you’re getting: pages, features, timeline, and cost.
Stage 03 · Build · Duration
~2 weeks to first look
You see the real site on a private link, not a mockup.
You
Send photos and any copy you have. Review the private link. Two rounds of changes are included.
Us
Design, write, and build it on Django. Test it on phones, tablets, and slow connections.
Stage 04 · Launch · Duration
3–5 weeks total
The apogee: your site goes live.
You
Nothing technical. Answer one email about your domain.
Us
Move your domain, set up SSL and email, connect Google Business, and watch the first week closely.
Stage 05 · Orbit · Duration
Ongoing
Hosting, backups, updates, and support for as long as you’re with us.
You
Run your business. Email or call when you need hours, photos, or staff updated.
Us
Daily backups, security updates, uptime and error monitoring, and a phone that gets answered.
02 — Services
Three things we do. One bill covers all of them.
MOD-01
Build
A site that says what you do, where you are, and how to reach you, and loads fast on a phone. Built on Django, so there’s no plugin roulette and no update that breaks your booking form.
MOD-02
Host
Cloud hosting we set up and run: daily backups, automatic SSL, security updates, and uptime and error monitoring. When something’s wrong at 7am on a Saturday, you don’t have to figure out whose fault it is.
MOD-03
Answer the phone
Something broke, or you need hours changed? Call a local number and the person who built your site picks up.
Watched, so you don’t have to
Every site we host gets daily backups, automatic SSL, uptime and error monitoring, and security updates I apply myself. If something breaks, I get an alert, not a phone call from you.
$ apogee status --site yourbusiness.com backup ........... ok daily ssl certificate .. ok auto-renew uptime check ..... ok monitored new errors ....... 0 monitored security updates . current ● all clear ▍
03 — Pricing
Small-business prices. No money down if you need it.
You get a fixed number in the quote before anything starts, and it doesn’t move. Tight month? Spread the build over 12 payments instead.

05 — About
Built by someone who’s run networks, not just websites.
I’m Ryan Pate. My background is telecom network engineering and automation: systems that can’t go down, and the habit of building things so they don’t. Apogee brings that same discipline to websites for the businesses around Rochester.
When you call, you get me. I can come by your front desk and watch how customers actually book, which no contact form will tell you.

Tell me about your business.
Send a note or just call. I’ll look at what you have, tell you what it’d take, and send a one-page quote. No pressure, no retainer.
