“Working with Taya is such a pleasure. She is extremely thoughtful and incredibly thorough. The way that she communicates is direct, honest, and caring. She has a talent for capturing the feeling of something in her work and the ability to portray it. It is a joy to work with her and I am so grateful to have found her.”

Your site, yours to keep.

From one page, planted well, to a whole site in full bloom.

Planted

One page, planted and kept healthy: who you are, what you offer, and how to reach you, with a tap to call, text or email, and a Book button to the booking app you already use, if you have one.

Best for: one person or a small business that mainly needs to be found online, and already uses a booking app or takes messages by email or DM.

Subscription, $12 a month, includes

  • Hosting, your web address, security and backups
  • Your magic site, yours for good: whenever something small needs changing, you just message me through it
  • A “your changes are up” email the moment it’s live
  • A monthly check-in about your business, so you don’t have to think about what to update
  • New reviews added as they come in

Plus what every plan includes, below

$600 for the build

Founding price $300

then a $12 a month subscription

Tended

A full site, tended as the seasons change: your pages, a contact form, a newsletter sign-up, and a Book button that opens your booking page (the app you use now, or a free Cal.com I set up for you).

Best for: businesses that want a full site with a few pages and a way to collect emails, and are happy using other apps for bookings or gift cards.

Subscription, $45 a month, includes

Everything in Planted, plus:

  • Post once, show up everywhere: when you post on Instagram or Facebook, I make your new post show up on your website and your Google profile too. I only post what you’ve made or said yes to.
  • Contact form and newsletter sign-up, with sending covered
  • Your Instagram feed on your site, filling itself in as you post
  • Email from your domain address, like you@yourbusiness.com, covered
  • A small shop, up to 5 products, with buy buttons (it runs through your own Stripe account, and Stripe’s normal card fee applies)
  • Gift cards, through Gift Up in your own account (their small fee applies)
  • A DoorDash button on your site for food and drink businesses, linking to your DoorDash page
  • A seasonal refresh: new photos and wording as the year turns

Plus what every plan includes, below

$1,200 for the build

Founding price $600

then a $45 a month subscription

In Bloom

Your site in full bloom, doing business for you: everything in Tended, plus booking, payments or a small shop (up to 20 items) right on your site, running on my server, with your own back end built around what you offer. Orders and shipping addresses live in your own Stripe, with a short heads-up email for each.

Best for: businesses that take bookings, sell gift certificates or products, and want it all in one place with me running it.

There’s no separate booking app, shop builder, gift card or waiver service to pay for: they’re part of your subscription. Happy with your booking app? You can keep it.

Subscription, $90 a month, includes

Everything in Tended, plus:

  • Your booking, shop, gift certificates and waivers, running on my server
  • Your own back end, built around your business, with its own sign-in

Founding price $900

then a $90 a month subscription

Every plan’s subscription also includes

  • I follow your socials and update your site as you post, or you email me
  • Changes usually within 2 business days
  • I watch over your site: if it goes down, I know before you do, and if anything breaks, I fix it
  • Holiday heads-ups, with your hours updated on your site and your Google profile
  • If a host changes its rules, moving your site is on me
  • Private visitor counts, no tracking

Founding clients: half off the build, for my first 5 clients through Dec 31, 2026: 3 left

Every build:

  • Your words written for you, from a few easy questions by email
  • A phone-first, Google-ready design
  • Your Google profile set up
  • A slim banner across the top for news like “Now booking” or “Away until Nov 3”
  • A one-page brand sheet with your colors and fonts (and your logo, if you have one) for any designer or print shop
  • Your web address’s first year
  • 30 days of settling-in tweaks after launch

After launch, your subscription keeps it healthy: every site comes with one, so your website is one less thing to think about.

  • New hours, a holiday closure, a fresh photo? I can follow your socials and update as you post, or you can email me, and it’s done, as often as you need, in every tier.
  • Hosting, your web address, security and backups, all covered. If anything breaks, I fix it.
  • Your subscription is $12, $45 or $90 a month, matching your site, and it starts after your 30 days of settling in.
  • If you ever cancel your subscription, your site is still yours: I hand you every file and login.

In Bloom

Your tools, built right in.

With In Bloom, your booking, shop, gift certificates and waivers run on my own server, and they’re part of your subscription. There’s no separate app to sign up for or pay each month.

  • Booking. Clients pick a time on your site, with a deposit if you’d like one, and you both get confirmation and reminder emails. Busy times on your own calendar stay blocked. It’s made for one-on-one appointments, so if you run group classes, your class app stays.
  • A small shop, up to 20 items. Things mark themselves sold out, plus discount codes, free shipping over an amount you pick, packing slips and a “shipped” email with tracking.
  • Gift certificates. Bought on your site and sent by email, right away or on the day they choose, with no expiry and no fees.
  • Waivers. Your clients read and sign your waiver on your site, and you both get the signed copy by email.
  • Your own back end. One private place with its own sign-in, built around what you offer: only the parts your business uses, like orders and products, your bookings and time off, or gift certificates to look up and mark used.

Card payments go through your own Stripe at Stripe’s usual rate (about 2.9% + 30¢ a payment), and the money goes straight to you. I don’t take a cut. If you ever cancel, I help you move these into accounts of your own.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish.

  1. A free mockup

    Tell me a little about your business and I’ll make you a free mockup within a week. Pick the build you like and tap anywhere on it to leave me notes.

  2. I draft

    A few easy questions about your work, by email, and I write your words from them. Then a first draft in about a week, on a private link.

  3. You tweak

    Your changes. Send me what you’d like changed; one email with everything in it is easiest.

  4. It goes live

    At your own web address, plus 30 days of settling-in tweaks on me. Then your subscription carries right on: I can follow your socials and update as you post, or you can keep emailing me.

Ready in about 2, 3 or 4 weeks (Planted, Tended, In Bloom) from your deposit, and it moves if your content comes later.

Who you’d be working with

Hi, I’m Taya.

I tend gardens here in Humboldt County, and I build websites for the small businesses around me. I made my own garden business’s site first, then one for my friend Juliet, and loved it so much it turned into this.

I’m happy to build for any small local business, here or anywhere. It’s just me, so I only take a few new builds a month, and when you write, I’m the one who writes back. That doesn’t stop at launch. (I’m also the one reading your About page out loud to make sure it sounds like you 😂)

Questions

Wondering about something?

Here’s what folks usually ask. Anything else, email me and I’ll answer.

How does paying work, and are there other costs?

Half to start (it holds your spot) and half at launch, by card or bank transfer. My first 5 founding clients get half off the build.

After launch, there’s just your subscription: $12, $45 or $90 a month, matching your site. It starts after your 30 days of settling in, and if you ever cancel, your site is still yours and I hand you every file and login. Your web address’s first year comes with your build. After that, your subscription pays for these, so there’s nothing to renew:

  • 🌱 Planted: hosting, backups and your web address.
  • 🌿 Tended: all that, plus email from your own address, your Instagram feed on your site, and your newsletter’s paid plan once your list passes 100 people (up to 1,000).
  • 🌸 In Bloom: all that, plus your booking, shop, gift certificates and waivers, running on my server.

Your subscription doesn’t pay for Stripe’s card fee (about 2.9% + 30¢ per payment, taken from your own sales), paid plans of apps you already use (Square, Vagaro, Acuity and the like), ads, or a newsletter list over 1,000 people. New to online booking? With Tended, I set you up with Cal.com, free for one person and in your name, and with In Bloom, booking runs right on your site, on my server. Would you like email from your own address? It comes with Tended and In Bloom.

These are estimates as of October 2026.

What does your subscription include?

Your subscription is what keeps your site healthy and growing, so every site comes with one. If you ever cancel it, your site is still yours and I hand you every file and login.

🌱 Planted, $12 a month:

  • Hosting, your web address, security and backups
  • Your magic site, yours for good: whenever something small needs changing, you just message me through it
  • A “your changes are up” email the moment it’s live
  • A monthly check-in about your business, so you don’t have to think about what to update
  • New reviews added as they come in

🌿 Tended, $45 a month: everything in Planted, plus:

  • Post once, show up everywhere: when you post on Instagram or Facebook, I make your new post show up on your website and your Google profile too. I only post what you’ve made or said yes to.
  • Contact form and newsletter sign-up, with sending covered
  • Your Instagram feed on your site, filling itself in as you post
  • Email from your domain address, like you@yourbusiness.com, covered
  • A small shop, up to 5 products, with buy buttons (it runs through your own Stripe account, and Stripe’s normal card fee applies)
  • Gift cards, through Gift Up in your own account (their small fee applies)
  • A DoorDash button on your site for food and drink businesses, linking to your DoorDash page
  • A seasonal refresh: new photos and wording as the year turns

🌸 In Bloom, $90 a month: everything in Tended, plus:

  • Your booking, shop, gift certificates and waivers, running on my server
  • Your own back end, built around your business, with its own sign-in
  • Fuller direct ordering for food businesses: DoorDash’s free online ordering built into your site, beyond the Tended button
  • A flyer for one event a month, made and posted for you
  • A yearly refresh: new photos from your year, your story updated, every page checked on phones

Every plan’s subscription also includes:

  • I follow your socials and update your site as you post, or you email me
  • Changes usually within 2 business days
  • I watch over your site: if it goes down, I know before you do, and if anything breaks, I fix it
  • Holiday heads-ups, with your hours updated on your site and your Google profile
  • If a host changes its rules, moving your site is on me
  • Private visitor counts, no tracking

New hours, a price, a photo, new wording, as often as you need. Big new things, like a new page or a new feature, I quote first.

Every account is in your name. The ones I set up for you, like your newsletter or booking, are made with your email, and I hand you the logins at launch. Where I need a way in after that, I’m added as a helper. What your subscription pays for, and what it doesn’t, is under paying and other costs.

Already have booking?

Keep it. Whichever build you pick, your Book button opens the booking app you already use (Vagaro, Square, Fresha, Mindbody, Booksy and the like), so nothing changes for you or your clients. With In Bloom, booking can sit right on your site instead, running on my server as part of your subscription, or you can keep your own app. That’s your choice, and I’ll ask when you pick In Bloom.

No booking app yet? With Tended, I set you up with Cal.com, free for one person and in your name: clients pick a time, and you both get reminders. With In Bloom, booking comes built right into your site. Or keep it simple with Planted: people call, text or email you.

If your link or your app ever changes, just email me and I’ll update it.

Can I start small and add more later?

Yes. Start with what you need now. When you’re ready for more pages, booking set up for you or right on your site, or selling, what you paid counts toward the bigger build, so moving from Planted to Tended, or Tended to In Bloom, doesn’t mean paying twice. Your subscription moves up with it.

Not sure where to start? The two-minute quiz suggests one.

How long does it take?

About 2 weeks for Planted, 3 for Tended and 4 for In Bloom, counted from your deposit, and it moves if your content comes later. You’ll see a draft in about a week, then I make your changes. Anything big and new I’ll quote first.

While I build, I set up what your site needs, like your newsletter or booking, in your name and with your email, then hand you the logins at launch. You’ll get one or two confirm-your-email messages from them; just click them. Your part is small: add me as a manager on your Google profile (about 2 minutes), or if you don’t have one yet, I build it, you do Google’s one quick check, and at launch I make you its owner. Taking payments? You make your own Stripe account, with my help over email.

No rush, but if your content isn’t in 30 days after you say yes, I’ll nudge you kindly, and at 60 days the project closes so neither of us is left hanging. Your deposit covers the work done so far, and if you pick it back up within a year, it counts toward finishing.

What if I want to leave?

It’s easy and free, because everything is already in your name. The accounts I set up for you, like your newsletter on Buttondown or your booking on Cal.com, are made with your email, and their logins have been yours since launch. Your Google profile and your Stripe account (if you take payments) are yours too, with me added as a helper. Your web address is legally yours as well: I hold it for you, with you listed as the owner, and renew it as part of your subscription.

If you ever cancel your subscription, I hand you every file and login within a week, your web address too, and your site stays up the whole time. With In Bloom, your booking, shop, gift certificates and waivers can’t keep running on my server, so I help you move them into accounts of your own.

Your subscription ends at the end of the month you’ve paid for.

Will people find me on Google? (SEO)

Your site is built to be found: fast, phone-first, with clear titles and descriptions for Google, your business details written so Google can read them, and a photo preview when someone texts your link. Every build also sets up your Google Business Profile, the listing on the map. Your subscription includes holiday heads-ups, with your hours updated on your site and your Google profile, and with Tended or In Bloom, what you post lands there too.

What I won’t do is promise you’ll outrank a national chain. Nobody honestly can.

Do I have to write everything?

Nope. You answer a few easy questions about your work by email, and I write your words from that. You read them, tell me anything that doesn’t sound like you, and I fix it.

And if you make your own art, like flash, lettering, patterns or drawings, send it over and I’ll build it into your site: headers, dividers, buttons, backgrounds, even the little animation. It should look like you made it.

Say hello

Tell me about your work.

Tell me a little about your business, and within a week I’ll send you a free mockup of your own website. No strings. Rather just say hi? Email me; I write back personally.
