The studio

Marlowe & Fern opened in a former print shop off the main street with one rule: nobody leaves with a haircut they have to explain.

Every appointment starts with fifteen unhurried minutes — hair type, how you actually style it on a Tuesday morning, how much time you are willing to give it. Only then do we start cutting.

We use ammonia-free colour, we book one client per chair at a time, and we are happy to work quietly if that is the kind of hour you need.

This is an example. Here is the whole arrangement.

Openhouse builds a finished website for a local business, then shows the owner the result. No brief, no meetings, no quote to read. The page above is what that looks like when it is done — built for a business we invented, so that you can read a real one before you ask for yours.

Is Marlowe & Fern a real business?

No. The name, the address, the phone number, the hours and the prices above were all written by us for this example. There is nothing to visit and nobody to call. Every other site we build is for a real business, and those are not published until their owner says so.

Would my site look like this one?

It would be built the same way and to the same length, with your own words, your own prices and your own hours. The layout follows the trade — a barbershop's page is not laid out like an electrician's — and anything on it can be changed before you decide anything.

What happens the moment I pay?

The site goes live and we email you a link to your dashboard — that is where messages from your contact form land. Reply to that email with the domain name you want and we point it at your site within one business day. Don't own a domain? We register one, in your name.

And if I do nothing at all?

Nothing happens. No invoice, no card on file — we never see your card details, and we cannot charge one you have not entered. You can read this example for as long as you like without ever telling us who you are.

Who am I actually buying from?

Openhouse — we build finished websites for local businesses and show the owner the result. Write to contact@openhousesites.com and a person answers. The payment is taken by Sparkles Corp, the company that holds our payment account, so that is the name you will see on your statement. The whole agreement — what the price covers, the refund, who owns the site — is one page at openhousesites.com/terms.html.

What a site like this costs

$59a month, cancel any time. Everything listed below, live under your own domain. No setup fee, nothing to install — and you can pay once instead if you would rather own it outright.

A site this size, built for your business, then shown to you before you pay anything.

Finished first, paid for after The page above is finished and public at openhousesites.com/app/for/marlowe-fern-portland-or. Yours is built the same way: we write it, we put it at an address like that one, and you look at the whole thing before any money changes hands. That is the part nobody else does.

The finished siteThe site exactly as you previewed it. Same pages, same words, same layout — nothing is held back for a higher tier.
Your content, your tradeYour services, your hours, your area served, and the pages your trade actually needs. Written out, not left as filler.
Mobile layoutEvery page composed narrow-screen first, because that is the screen your customers are holding.
A working contact formMessages from the form arrive in your email inbox. There is no dashboard to log into and no app to install.
SEO setupPage titles, meta descriptions and structured data, so search engines read what you do, where you are and when you are open.
Your domain, connectedWe connect a domain you already own. If you do not own one, we register one for you — in your name, and it is yours.
Hosting and SSL, 12 monthsCounted from the day the site is activated. No monthly fee in that first year. Nothing to cancel and nothing to forget.
One round of revisionsSend your changes in one go — words, photos, sections, the order of the whole thing — and we make them.

Or pay once, and be done $599 once — no monthly fee for 12 months. That is just over 10 months of the monthly plan, and twelve months at $59 a month come to $708 — so paying once is the cheaper of the two, and there is nothing left to cancel. Same site, same guarantee, either way.

14 days to change your mind — full refund, no reason required. One email to contact@openhousesites.com is enough — no form, no phone call, no questions about what went wrong.

Both doors open the same site — same pages, same guarantee. The monthly plan cancels any time with one email to contact@openhousesites.com, and the site stays up until the end of the month you have paid for. Pay once and there is nothing to cancel at all.

Secure payment by card. The charge shows as Sparkles Corp on your statement — that is the company that holds our payment account, and we say so before you click rather than after.
