Websites for small businesses

A better website, live in about a week.

Beautiful, easy-to-manage websites for small businesses that look professional, work beautifully on mobile, and make it easy for customers to take the next step.

  • Your website. Your accounts. Your ownership.
  • No long-term maintenance contract required.

Sound familiar?

Your business shouldn't depend on Instagram alone.

Most small businesses don't have a website problem. They have a scattered-information problem. Customers are trying to figure out a few simple things — and they can't.

  • No real website — or one from years ago
  • Hours, prices and services buried in old posts
  • Booking link hidden in a bio
  • Looks broken on phones
  • You can't edit it without calling someone
  • Visitors don't know what to do next

Today

  • Hours in a story highlight
  • “DM for prices”
  • Booking link in bio (maybe)
  • Menu PDF from 2022
  • Website not mobile-friendly
  • Last post: 11 weeks ago

Blue Apricot turns that mess into one clear, professional online home.

Who it's for

Built around how your business actually works.

A yoga studio needs a schedule people can book from. A café needs hours and a menu you can see in two seconds. A contractor needs a quote form. Every site starts with what your customers need to do.

Wellness & Fitness

Make it easier to fill your classes.

A calm, beautiful site that answers “what's on, who teaches it, and how do I book?” in seconds — connected to the booking system you already use.

For: Yoga teachers & studios · Pilates instructors & studios · Fitness coaches & personal trainers · Massage therapists · Wellness professionals

These are sample concepts created to demonstrate possible website directions. They are not client projects.

For independent yoga teachers

Teach on your own? Your website can be this simple.

You don't need a studio-sized website. You need one beautiful place that says who you are, how you teach, and how to book — so you can stop sending the same DM ten times a week.

  • Your classes, in one place

    Studio classes, online classes and privates — with times and links that are easy to keep current.

  • Book in two taps

    Connect Momence, Calendly, Acuity or a simple payment link. No new software to learn.

  • Workshops & retreats

    A page you can update for each new event, ready to share in your bio.

  • Looks like you

    Your photos, your voice, your colors — not a template every other teacher uses.

Most solo teachers fit the Launch package — $750 founding-client price.

Live sitemotionbymaya.com ↗A live site for an independent yoga teacher, built with the same process as every Blue Apricot site.

Real work

Live and in use today.

1-minute quiz

Not sure which package fits?

Answer six quick questions. You'll get a recommendation — and a ready-to-send note so you don't have to write one.

Question 1 of 6

What kind of business is it?

Ownership

It's your website. Actually.

Everything is set up in your name — or handed to you at launch. If you ever want to work with someone else, or do it all yourself, you can. Nothing is held hostage.

You own

  • Domain
  • Website account
  • Hosting
  • Content
  • Analytics
  • Booking system
  • Reservation system
  • Newsletter
  • Leads
  • Integrations

Your handoff kit

Day 7
  • Account ownership sheetEvery login and service, listed in one place.
  • Recurring-cost sheetExactly what you'll pay each month or year — and to whom.
  • Website editing guidePlain-English steps for your most common updates.
  • CMS instructionsHow to add classes, menu items, projects or posts.
  • Walkthrough videoA short recording of your own site, made for you.
  • 14-day launch supportBugs fixed for two weeks after launch, no questions asked.

No maintenance contract required.

Optional ongoing work can be quoted separately — only if you want it.

Easy editing

Update your business without calling a developer.

Anything you change regularly is set up as simple structured content — fill in a few fields, hit publish, and the page updates itself, styled and mobile-ready.

Prefer spreadsheets? For things like weekly schedules, menus or simple catalogs, a Google Sheet can power the page when that's genuinely easier for you — edit a row, and the site updates.

Not sure what kind of website you need?

That's what the intro call is for.

We'll spend 15 minutes looking at your business, what you already have, and what customers actually need to do on your website. No giant sales presentation.

Hi, I'm Maya.

Blue Apricot Studio is run by me, Maya Griffith — a software developer who builds small businesses and products of my own.

I started Blue Apricot because too many great small businesses either don't have a real website, or have one they can't update without calling someone. I wanted to offer something simpler: a professional site, a clear process, and a clean handoff when we're done.

When you work with Blue Apricot, you work with me directly — from the first call to launch day.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else on your mind? Email blueapricotwebsites@gmail.com or ask on the intro call.

How can a website be finished in about a week?

Because the process is built for it: a structured intake up front, a clear scope, an efficient build, and short review windows. Most delays on website projects come from unclear scope and scattered feedback — Blue Apricot removes both.

Do I need all my copy written already?

No. Your existing social profiles, menus, notes, brochures and rough content are enough to start. I'll organize and polish it into clear website copy.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. Things you change often — like hours, menus, classes, services or events — are set up so you can edit them yourself. You'll get an editing guide and a short walkthrough video at handoff.

Who owns my website?

You do. Your domain, website account, hosting, content, analytics and connected tools are all set up in your name, or transferred to you at launch.

Do I need a maintenance plan?

No. There's no maintenance contract required. If you ever want help with ongoing updates, that can be quoted separately — but you're never locked in.

What platform will my website use?

It depends on the business. Straightforward small-business websites will usually use something like Framer or Squarespace so you can easily maintain them. Custom development is reserved for situations that genuinely need it.

Can you connect my booking system?

Yes. Tools like Mindbody, Momence, Mariana Tek, Acuity, Calendly and Square Appointments can be connected so customers can book directly from your site.

Can you connect restaurant reservations or ordering?

Yes. Existing providers such as Toast, Square, Resy, OpenTable and ChowNow can be integrated — no need to rebuild what already works.

What if I already have a website?

Blue Apricot can redesign or rebuild it. We'll keep what's working, fix what isn't, and move you to a setup you can actually manage.

Do you build online stores?

Simple commerce — a handful of products, gift cards, digital downloads — can be supported. Larger or more complex stores are scoped separately.

What happens after launch?

A 14-day bug-fix period is included after launch. Any additional work after that can be quoted separately, only if and when you want it.

Not ready for a call?

Tell Blue Apricot about your project.

A few quick questions — no essay required. You'll hear back within one business day.

Rather just talk it through?

A free 15-minute call is usually the fastest way to figure out what you need.
