We design it, build it, host it, and keep it fresh — for one flat monthly rate. You run your business. We run your website.
…and the site still looks like it. A big one-time bill shouldn't be the price of looking professional.
Every little change means chasing someone down and crossing your fingers.
You already have a business to run. Drag-and-drop tools become a second job.
That's exactly why Lake State exists. You run your business — we run your website.
One flat rate covers design, hosting, security, and ongoing care — no hosting bills, no surprise invoices.
Three sample businesses we designed to show the level of finish your site gets. Click one — it opens right up.
Your business could be the next one here.
Pay monthly, or choose yearly and get two months free. Cancel anytime after your first 3 months.

You talk, we build. Here's exactly what happens after you say go.
A quick conversation about your business and what you want your site to do. We send a short questionnaire — that's all we need.
We design your site, write the first draft of your copy, and build it out. You get a private preview link.
Tell us what to tweak — we revise until you love it. One round is usually all it takes.
Your site goes live on your domain. From here on, we handle everything — for as long as you’re with us.
“When you subscribe, you're not ticket #4082 in somebody's queue. You email me, I answer, and your site gets better. That's the whole model.”The FounderLake State Web Co.
Every site is designed and built personally by the founder — nothing outsourced, no handoffs.
A typical custom website costs $3,000–$8,000 upfront — and then you're on your own for hosting, security, and updates. With a subscription, you skip the big bill and get ongoing care included. Your site never goes stale, and you always have a real person to reach.
Starter gets you a beautiful 5-page site with everything managed. Business doubles the size (up to 10 pages), adds custom animations and interactions that make your site feel alive, plus booking forms, galleries, unlimited updates, and priority support.
Your site can go live in about two weeks of our first conversation, depending on how quickly we get your content and photos.
Yes. Your domain (like yourbusiness.com) is registered in your name and always belongs to you — even if you leave.
Just email us what you want changed. Starter includes one update a month; Business includes unlimited reasonable updates, usually done within 2 business days.
Yes — after your first 3 months, you can cancel anytime. No cancellation fees, no hard feelings.
Tell us a little about your business and we'll get back to you within one business day — with honest advice, not a sales pitch.

Information you send us. When you contact us by form, email, or phone, we receive what you share — typically your name, business name, contact details, and your message.
Payment information. Subscriptions are processed by Stripe, our payment processor. Your card number goes directly to Stripe and is never stored on our systems. Stripe's handling of your data is described in Stripe's own privacy policy.
