Websites for local businesses
Store Lantern builds a one-page preview for restaurants, salons, contractors and other local shops. You look at it on your phone, then decide.
No upfront fee to look at a preview.
An illustration, not a client’s site. Your preview is built around your own business.
How it works
Most small businesses do not need a six-month web project. They need a clear page that is easy to find, easy to read on a phone, and easy to contact.
You write to us, or we reach out because your current site is hard to use, or you do not have one yet. We ask for a few details, photos if you have them, and what you want people to do: call, book, visit or order.
We design a one-page preview and send you a private link, hosted at preview.storelantern.com. It is marked as a preview and is not your live website. Open it on your phone, walk through it with a partner, and tell us what to change.
If the preview feels right, we agree the package, connect your domain, and put the site online. If it does not, you walk away and you do not pay for the preview.

FAQ
No. We build a preview first. You look at it, ask for changes if you want them, and you only pay if you want us to put it live. You see your new site before you pay anything.
A single page that presents your business clearly: who you are, what you offer, how to reach you, plus hours and location when they matter. It is built to work on a phone and can use a domain you already own, or a new one.
When one page is too tight. Typical sites of three to five pages include, for example, a home page, a menu or services list, a longer about page, and a contact page. We will recommend this only when it actually helps.
We give you a clear timing before we start, once we have your details and any photos you want us to use. We aim to show a first preview promptly rather than stretch the work out.
No. The preview lives on a private Store Lantern link, is marked as a preview, and is kept out of search results. It becomes your live site only after you accept the offer and we connect it to your domain.
Hosting, an SSL certificate, keeping an eye on uptime, and small text or photo edits, from $29 a month. Larger changes are quoted separately. The plan is optional; you may host the finished site elsewhere if you prefer.
Yes. We can point a domain you already own to the new site, or help you register a new one. Domain fees from the registrar are separate from the design fee.
Once the agreed project is paid for, the site we built for you is yours to use for your business. Until then, the preview is only a proposal. We do not publish your preview as a case study unless you say we may.
