Directories, discovery & original workflows

If your idea does not fit a template, that is the point.

We start with what people need to discover or do, then build the public website and private tools around that exact workflow.

RocketCustom Buildsby Rocket Websites

Customers

Use your website to browse, book, order, pay or access their account.

Staff

Sign into a private online portal to handle the work assigned to their role.

Owners

Sign into a separate view for customers, financials, analytics and controls.

Sound familiar?

What's holding your business back.

We build for small businesses because we know how much time the tech mess eats. If two or three of these sound familiar, one connected system fixes them.

  • Off-the-shelf tools force your idea into the wrong structure.
  • Information is useful but difficult for customers to search or filter.
  • Your team updates the same record in several places.
  • Generic website packages cannot support the workflow that makes you different.
  • You need a focused first version instead of an oversized software project.

What we build

One website on the outside. One connected system behind it.

The public and private sides work together in a browser on phones, tablets and computers—without special software to install.

Discovery experiences

Help visitors find events, listings, providers or resources through useful paths.

Search & filters

Organize custom data around the questions your visitors actually ask.

Structured content

Manage listings and records once, then publish them wherever they belong.

Role-based access

Create the right private view for customers, contributors, staff and owners.

Custom workflows

Approvals, submissions, assignments and status changes designed around the job.

Phased expansion

Launch a focused first version, then add capabilities as the idea proves itself.

What this normally costs

Most businesses pay for five things. You pay us for one.

Most businesses buy a website, then add separate subscriptions for ordering, scheduling, inventory, invoicing and reporting. We connect those needs through one web system instead.

Custom website + software build

$5,000 – $25,000 one time

Typical agency or freelance project pricing for a custom site with connected business features.

Restaurant POS & online ordering software

From roughly $69 – $300+ / month

Published starting subscriptions rise with added terminals, online ordering and add-on modules.

Scheduling & staff management software

From roughly $20 – $100+ / month

Priced per location or per employee on most platforms.

Invoicing & accounting add-ons

From roughly $20 – $90 / month

Branded invoicing is usually a paid tier rather than an entry-level feature.

Website hosting, domain & maintenance

From roughly $20 – $60 / month

Hosting plus a maintenance retainer, billed separately from the software above.

With Rocket Websites

$25–$50/mo

Plus a one-time $125–$250 starting setup fee, and $20 a year for a domain.

Bigger custom systems are scoped and quoted first.

Published starting prices and typical project ranges as of September 2026, shown for context only. Actual pricing varies by vendor, plan, location, hardware, number of users and promotions, and changes over time. These are not quotes, and larger custom builds with us are scoped and quoted before work starts.

Common questions

Before you decide.

What's at stake

Two ways the next year can go.

Keep patching it together

  • Paying for five tools that don't share information
  • Losing a large cut of online orders to delivery-app commissions
  • Getting locked into equipment leases and surprise fees
  • A slow, dated website that sends customers elsewhere

Run it all with Rocket

  • One connected system for customers, staff and owners
  • Clear, published monthly pricing and platform fees
  • Direct online orders and bookings you keep more of
  • More time running the business, less time fixing tech
