This is the shape of what lands in your inbox: a working demo built from your reviews, your services, your town.

How demo-first works

We build first. A real, working demo of your site — your reviews, your services, your town — made before we ever ask you for anything.

You judge the finished thing. Not a pitch deck, not a promise. A site you can open on your phone and tap through.

Then you decide. Like it, and it's live on your own domain in three business days. Don't, and you reply “no thanks” and never hear from us again.

The work, before the client.

Northstone is new, and we won't pretend otherwise — there are no client logos to show you yet. What we can show you is the actual product: builds exactly like the one you'd receive, at full scale. Each one is marked for what it is.

A roofer with 87 reviews and no website

The most common case we see: years of five-star reviews on Google, and either no site at all or a Facebook page from 2019. Customers who search the name find nothing to trust.

The build puts the reviews front and center, lists the actual services, and makes the phone number the biggest button on the page — because a roofing customer is standing in their driveway looking up.

One page, under 15 KB. Loads in under a second on a phone. Click-to-call throughout.

A practice where the stakes are higher

Medical, dental and legal builds carry more weight: a patient is choosing who to trust with their health, and a practice lives under stricter rules about what it can claim.

These builds get more careful copy, insurance and new-patient details up front, and appointment requests over gimmicks. It's why the professional tier is priced separately — more care, more review volume, more at stake per patient.

A restaurant that lives on Google Maps

Restaurant customers decide in the parking lot, on their phone, between the map listing and the menu. If the hours are wrong or the menu is a blurry PDF, they eat somewhere else.

The build keeps hours, menu and directions one tap deep, and the monthly service keeps them true — because a website that says you're open when you're closed is worse than no website.

Menu edits are covered under the monthly — email the change, it's live within two business days.

Why reviews get this much attention: Harvard Business School research (Luca) found a one-star rating increase drives a 5–9% revenue increase for independent businesses, and BrightLocal's 2026 survey found people are 80% likelier to use a business that answers every review.

The price, in writing.

Most shops make you sit through a call to hear a number. Here is ours, published:

Local & home services

Roofers, plumbers, HVAC, salons, restaurants, landscapers, cleaners — businesses found by neighbors.

$497 setup, once

$197 a month

Medical, dental & legal

Practices and firms — stricter rules, higher stakes per patient or client, heavier review volume.

$997 setup, once

$397 a month

No contract. No cancellation fee. The demo is free whether or not you buy. For context: the industry-average local marketing retainer runs over $1,100 a month — this is priced for businesses that have never needed an agency, just a good site that stays true.

Start to live, step by step.

  1. The demo gets built

    Before any contact. From your public reviews, your Google listing, what your customers already say. Your time required: none.

  2. You look at it

    Reply to the email or call. Tell us what's wrong with it — the color, the wording, the photo of the old truck. Your time: about 15 minutes.

  3. Corrections, then live

    We register your domain in your name, make your corrections, and take the site live. Three business days from your go-ahead.

  4. Your Google profile gets fixed

    Claimed, correctly categorized, described, photos up. This is where local customers actually find you. Done within the first week; you accept one invite email.

  5. Then, every month

    Edits within two business days, a Google post every week, a reply to every review, a one-page report. Your time: forward us whatever changed. That's it.

Who's behind this

A note from the person you'd actually be dealing with —

My name is ZeeShan. Northstone Sites is a one-person studio in Deer Park, New York, and if you got an email from us, I'm the one who sent it and the demo attached to it is work I already did on your behalf, free, on the bet that you'd rather judge a finished website than a sales pitch.

I can't show you a wall of client logos or claim fifteen years in business. I started this in 2026. What I can do is show you your own website, done, before you're asked for a dollar — and put my prices in writing on a public page, which you may notice almost nobody else in this industry does.

The studio stays small on purpose. Modern tooling does the repetitive work, which is how the monthly stays at $197 instead of the $1,100+ agencies charge — and I'd rather keep a hundred small businesses' sites true than sell one big rebrand a quarter.

The things people actually hesitate over.

What happens to my site if I stop paying?

You keep everything. The domain is registered in your name from day one, and you're handed the full code at setup. The monthly fee covers hosting and the ongoing work — edits, weekly Google posts, review replies, the report. Stop paying and that work stops, but the site itself can move to any host, and a site this small runs nearly free almost anywhere. There is no exit fee and nothing held hostage.

What if I don't like the demo?

Nothing happens. Reply “no thanks” — or don't reply at all — and the demo is deleted. It costs you nothing and you won't be chased.

Do I own the site and the domain?

Yes, both, from the start. Domain in your name at a registrar you can access, code in your inbox. This is the opposite of the industry habit of registering the client's domain under the agency and holding it.

What if Northstone disappears next year?

A fair question to ask a new company, so here's the plain answer: you'd lose nothing you've paid for. Your domain is yours, the code is in your inbox, and it's standard HTML any web developer on earth can pick up. No proprietary platform, no lock-in — by design, because we're asking you to trust a stranger.

How long have you been doing this?

Northstone launched in 2026 — it's new. That is exactly why the demo comes first: you never have to take experience on faith, because the finished work is in front of you before you pay. Judge the site, not the years.

Do I have to write the words for my site?

No. The copy is drafted from your reviews, your Google listing, and whatever you tell us on the phone. You correct it before anything goes live — you know your business; we know what makes a stranger call it.

I already have a website. Can you take it over?

Yes. Usually we rebuild rather than patch — it's faster and it comes out better — but your existing domain, reviews and Google profile all carry over. Same pricing either way.

Why is this so much cheaper than an agency?

One operator, no office, no salespeople, and modern tooling doing the repetitive work. Local business sites are small and similar in shape; doing them repeatedly and well is the whole business model. The average local marketing retainer runs over $1,100 a month — that price pays for the agency, not the work.
