Every build includes: site: static & fast · chatbot: configured · missed-call text-back: available · custom workflows: quoted
If your website was an employee, would you keep it?
Craftvane builds a site that works, then wires up the automation that keeps working after the visit ends: a chatbot that answers real questions, a text sent the moment a call is missed, and reminders that go out without anyone remembering to send them. Past that, if there is a repetitive job eating your week, that gets built too.
The usual gaps
Three things most small-business sites get wrong
No way to catch a missed call. The phone rings once, nobody picks up, the caller moves to the next business on the list.
Nobody answers a question at 9pm. Someone lands on the site after hours with one question, gets no answer, closes the tab.
Reviews pile up unrequested. Happy customers leave without being asked, so the newest review on the page is a year old.
What you get
The site, then the tools underneath it
Module 01
The site
A static, fast-loading website built for your business, not a template with your logo dropped in.
- Built and hosted on Netlify: no plugins, no update nagging, near-instant load times
- Mobile-first, built to convert a visit into a call or a form fill
- Structured for Google and AI search, not just a pretty homepage
Module 02
The automation
Switched on after the site ships, priced as one monthly retainer, no per-tool subscriptions to juggle.
- A chatbot that answers the questions people actually ask, day or night
- Missed-call text-back so a missed call still gets a reply
- Review requests and appointment reminders sent without anyone remembering to
Two you can open right now
Real builds, and I'll tell you exactly what each one is.
One is live and in daily use, and it is in-house work at the company I work for, not a client engagement. The other is a finished rebuild for a San Jose business that has not launched it. Both open in a browser, and the work page says which is which before you click.
Craftvane is new, so instead of a client list there are two sites you can open right now and judge yourself: a live San Jose remodeling contractor, and a finished rebuild for a water damage company. See the work.
Who this is for
Written for your business, not for “small business”
Medical & dental
Practices
The site patients check before they call, plus reminders and after-hours answers. Includes what the HIPAA and FCC rules on texting patients actually say.
Salon & spa
Salons, spas, barbershops
Show the work, take the booking, and stop losing chairs to people who forgot they had an appointment.
Professional
Law, accounting, offices
A site that reads as credible to someone making a high-stakes choice, with an intake path that works on a Friday night.
Local service
Trades and home services
The job goes to whoever calls back first. Built to get called, wired to catch the calls you cannot take.
More specific: Dental practices · Law firms · Chiropractors · Med spas · Veterinary clinics
The guarantee
You don't pay the balance until you approve the site.
Hiring one person to build your website carries an obvious risk: you pay, and what shows up is not what you had in mind. So the money is structured so that cannot happen. A deposit starts the work. The balance is due only after you have seen the finished site and told me it's right. If you look at it and it is not what we agreed, I fix it, and you still have not paid the balance.
No annual contract on the build. The retainer, if you take it, is month to month, and cancelling it does not cost you the website. The site is yours once it is paid for, either way.
And the third thing
The repetitive job you do every week
The site and the automation are the same shape for every business, which is why they have prices on them. Custom AI workflows are not, so they are scoped and quoted per job. The most common one is email.
Most requested
Email replies, drafted for you
Most of your inbox is the same eight questions. This writes the answers, in your voice, using your real prices and hours.
- It drafts. You send. Nothing reaches a customer until a person reads it and hits send
- Anything it is unsure about gets flagged instead of guessed
- Works with the Gmail or Outlook account you already have
Or something else
Whatever you keep doing by hand
Rule-shaped, repetitive, and eating hours is the test. If it fails that test I will tell you not to build it.
- Getting numbers out of PDFs that arrive every month
- Sorting and routing what comes in, so the urgent thing is not buried
- A recurring report that currently costs someone an afternoon
Service areas
Santa Clara County, from San Jose
Each of these is a real page about what changes in that market, not the same paragraph with the town swapped. If you are somewhere else in the county, ask: it is all a short drive.

A sentence is enough. If a website is the wrong answer for your business right now, I will tell you that instead of quoting you for one. If you would rather talk, call 415-879-5541.
