Website

Webdesign and iteration

We design the public site with you and keep iterating until the style fits the work you actually do.

See sample sites and design directions:

Domain name management

You keep control of your domain, DNS, and redirects — so your site, email, and dashboard all point to the right place.

Domain and DNS details

SSL/TLS

Your site loads over a secure, encrypted connection — the padlock visitors look for.

Read more

SSL/TLS, short for Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security, are cryptographic protocols that establish secure, encrypted communication between a browser and a server.

  • They provide the lock icon at the top of the browser.
  • They protect forms, checkout flows, and account access from being sent in plain text.
  • We use open-source tooling for certificate setup, so there is no separate SSL markup from us.

Payment processing

Online payment processing

Take card payments on your own PayPal account — no middleman between you and your customer.

Read more

For many small organizations, PayPal is the bare-bones way to accept online payments without adding another platform in between.

Some services charge extra or take an added cut. We integrate the technology and keep the processor account in your hands, so the card-processing fee is the PayPal fee rather than an added FND fee.

POS integration

In-person sales too — point-of-sale tools from PayPal, with no extra subscription layer from us.

Read more

That makes it a practical baseline for market stands, events, and in-person sales.

We can connect that payment workflow with the website and future software changes, so online sales, in-person payments, and dashboard reporting can grow together.

Emails

Email users

  • Create email users from your client dashboard.
  • Use an onboarding process that walks through the setup steps.

  • Include unsubscribe links for your list and every send.
  • Let visitors sign up from your website.
  • Manage the list from the dashboard.

Dashboard

  • Analytics

    Real visitor sessions, sources, and the pages people actually read — no third-party trackers.

  • Campaigns & QR codes

    Build tracked links and QR codes for ads and flyers; see which campaign drove each visit.

  • Email

    Create domain email users, forwarding, and onboarding — billed by storage, not seats.

    Compose and send from your domain; manage sign-ups and unsubscribes.

  • Payments

    Connect your own PayPal and manage online and in-person settings and reporting.

  • Resources

    Organize the images, events, profiles, and documents your site and map draw from.

  • Design

    Edit page text and swap images and icons yourself — changes publish to your live site.
