Why us

# Why not GoDaddy Website Builder?

A quick builder can help a business get online, but getting online is not the same as building a site that earns trust, supports local search, answers buying questions, and turns visitors into leads.

Builder vs business system

## Your site should do more than exist.

After Dark Labs builds around the real customer path: what someone searched, what they need to trust you, what questions they have, and what action they should take next.

- ✓Service pages, local landing pages, proof, FAQs, and quote paths planned together
- ✓Search-ready structure, metadata, internal links, and fast mobile behavior
- ✓Forms, scheduling, payments, CRM handoffs, and custom workflows when needed
- ✓One-time build fee instead of a required website-builder subscription from us

Local search

## Built for service areas, not just a homepage.

### More specific pages

Service companies often need pages for each major service, city, customer type, and buying question. Those pages need a clear internal structure, not just a menu item added later.

### Clear pricing language

The website project is handled as a one-time build fee. Domains, hosting, third-party tools, apps, maintenance, and optional support may still have separate costs.
