The math
Other platforms charge every month.
We charge once.
Restaurant website platforms lock you into annual contracts with monthly fees that compound over time. One Komet build · you own the code, the domain, and the hosting. No renewals. No lock-in.
BentoBox
$179/mo + $2,000 setup + 12-month contract required
Popmenu
$299/mo base + add-ons + annual lock-in required
Komet
One-time project fee. No contract. No renewals. You own everything.
Based on published platform rates. Actual costs vary by tier and add-ons selected.

The difference shows up
where it counts.
Template builders are built for everyone. We're built for local businesses.
01
Speed that doesn't apologize
Page builders ship with overhead you didn't ask for. We write clean HTML and CSS · no plugins, no bloat. Your site loads in under two seconds on a phone with mediocre signal.
02
Local search, actually set up
Schema markup so Google shows your hours, your reviews, and your services in search results. Canonical tags, meta descriptions, Google Search Console submitted. Not just "SEO tools" · the actual work done.
03
One build. No bill after.
Wix and Squarespace charge monthly forever. We build the site, hand you the files, and that's it. If you want updates later, we're here. If you don't, you owe us nothing.
04
A long-term partner, not a one-off vendor
Komet works like a technical co-founder for the small businesses we build for. We learn your business, ship the site, and stay close as it grows. If a menu changes, a service expands, or a season turns, we're already on the team.
How it works
From first call
to live site in weeks.
STEP 01
Discovery call
Thirty minutes. We learn your business · your services, your customers, what you want people to find you for. No forms, just a conversation.
STEP 02
Design review
You see the full design before we write a line of code. We refine until it's right.
STEP 03
Build
Typically two to three weeks from design approval to a working site. You get updates throughout.
STEP 04
Launch
We handle domain setup, hosting configuration, and Google Search Console submission. You don't touch a terminal.
STEP 05
Handoff
You own everything · the code, the domain, the content. We stay available for updates, new pages, and seasonal refreshes whenever you need them.
Pricing
Simple, transparent pricing.
No surprise invoices. No platform lock-in. You pay once and own everything.

Prices are starting points. Complex projects or additional pages are scoped on a call. No surprises.
Our Guarantee
What we commit to.
01
You own everything
The code, the domain, the hosting account. No platform dependency, no monthly fee that outlives the relationship. If we stop working together, your site keeps running.
02
We don't launch until you say it's right
You see the full design before a line of code is written. We revise until it's right. No "good enough" launches.
03
Fast on a phone
We test on real devices with real signal · not just a desktop Chrome window. Sub-two-second load times, or we keep working.
04
Local SEO from day one
Schema markup, Google Search Console submission, meta descriptions, canonical tags. Built in from the start · not bolted on as an afterthought.
05
No surprise invoices
Scope is agreed in writing before we start. What we quote is what you pay. If you ask for something outside scope, we tell you before we do it.
06
We stay available
Launch day isn't the end. Whether you need a menu update in three months or a full redesign in two years, we're still here. No getting passed to a support ticket queue.
FAQ
What local business owners ask us.
No. You don't touch a terminal or log into any platform. We handle everything from design to deployment. You approve things, we build them.
Two to three weeks from design approval to a live site. The discovery call and design review add another week or so at the front. Most businesses are live within a month of our first call.
Everything. The HTML, CSS, and code files. The domain (registered in your name). The hosting account. We hand it all over at launch with zero strings attached.
You can, though the files are hand-coded HTML · not a drag-and-drop editor. Most business owners ask us to handle small updates (content changes, hours, new photos) through our monthly support plan. It's typically one to three quick updates a month.
Your site keeps running as-is, on your own hosting account, with no fees owed to us. You own it outright. If you need help later, we're still available.
Yes. We've worked remotely from the start. If you're a business owner anywhere in the US, we can work with you · everything runs over video calls and email. That said, we have a particular focus on the Millbrook, Poughkeepsie, and Bergen County area because we know these communities.
