Websites, applications and automations for businessWebsites that load unreasonably fast.

Biz Hoist is a web design company for small businesses. We build smart websites, web and mobile applications and custom software, written for your business rather than forced out of a template, then host and run them on our own servers. One studio from brief to launch and beyond.

  • Hosted on our own private servers. Not shared hosting with a thousand neighbours. You can host it yourself if you'd rather — the option is always yours.
  • Custom applications, built to fit. Dashboards, booking systems, internal tools, automation — whatever your workflow actually needs.
  • Every client matters to us. We're building a reputation, so the small details get the same attention as the big ones. You won't be a ticket number here.

What we build

Everything a business needs
to run online.

Most website programming companies stop at the website. As a web design company that also writes apps, custom software and automation, we cover the whole list below, and run it afterwards.

  1. 01 Websites WordPress, Shopify or fully custom-coded
  2. 02 Applications Web and mobile apps built around your workflow
  3. 03 Custom software Dashboards, portals and internal tools
  4. 04 AI & automation Chatbots, WhatsApp flows, document automation
  5. 05 SEO & growth Technical audits, on-page work, local search
  6. 06 Infrastructure Servers, speed, backups and security
Site audit tool

See why Google
isn't ranking you.

The speed check tells you how fast your site loads. This one tells you whether it's built to be found. Run it on any URL and see your score and headline issues straight away; the full breakdown comes with an engagement.

  • Full technical scan — tags, structure, indexing
  • Findings ranked by what actually costs you traffic
  • Plain English, not a wall of jargon

Most sites we scan fail on the same handful of things — missing meta descriptions, no sitemap, duplicate titles, images with no alt text. None of it is exotic. It's just work nobody got round to doing, and it quietly costs you traffic every month it stays broken.

Selected work

Work we’ve designed
and built.

Four products we own and still run, plus client work. Not template jobs: every screen, database table and line of logic was written by us.

Where we stand

You are not a client to us.
You're a milestone.

To an established agency

You're one line on a spreadsheet. They have a pipeline behind you and a name that carries itself. If the work is fine rather than good, it costs them nothing — there's another project starting Monday. Your job gets whoever is free that week.

To us

You're the reason the next person says yes. We're new, and that means we have a reputation to build and everything to lose. So the small details get the same attention as the big ones, and the work goes out when it's right — not when it's billable.

We'd rather earn the next client through this one than chase both at once. That's not a sales line — it's just what being early actually means, and it's the difference between us and most website programming companies.

How it works

No sales sequence.
Just a quote and a build.

  1. 01 You pick what you need Tick the services below. Not sure which apply? Pick what sounds close — we'll tell you if something's unnecessary.
  2. 02 We scope it properly We read it the same day and come back with questions if anything's unclear. No discovery calls you didn't ask for.
  3. 03 A fixed quote in 24 hours One price, agreed before any work starts. Milestones for larger builds, so you're never paying it all upfront.
  4. 04 We build and ship Smart websites and apps, written and deployed in-house. Optional retainer afterwards if you want us keeping it running.
Build your quote

Pick what you need.
We'll price it.

No prices listed here on purpose — every project is scoped individually, and a web design company quoting a number before understanding your work would be guessing.

Before you ask

Questions small businesses
ask a web design company.

If yours isn't here, email us — a real answer comes back, not a scheduling link.

hello@bizhoist.com
How does working across time zones actually work?

Easily, because most of it is async. Briefs, updates and questions go over email or WhatsApp, so neither of us is waiting on the other to wake up. When a call makes sense, we schedule it in your working hours. We take payment by Stripe or Razorpay, whichever suits where you are.

Why is there no pricing on this site?

Because a number without context is a guess. A five-page site for a local business and a five-page site with a booking system, payments and a customer portal are not the same job. Pick your services in the builder above and you'll get one fixed price within one business day, agreed before anything starts, with milestones on larger builds.

How long does a project take?

A landing page is days. A full site is a few weeks. A custom application depends entirely on what it has to do. You'll get a realistic timeline as part of the quote — if we think a deadline isn't achievable, we'll say so rather than agree and miss it.

Do I have to host with you?

No. Hosting on our servers is the default for custom builds because it's how we get the performance we promise, but you're free to host anywhere. We'll hand over the code and help you deploy it. Nothing we build holds you hostage.

Who owns the code when it's finished?

You do. Once the final payment clears, the code and everything in it is yours. No licensing arrangement, no ongoing fee for the right to keep using your own website.

What happens after launch?

Every build includes a support window for anything that breaks. After that, a maintenance retainer is optional — plenty of clients take the site and run it themselves, and that's a perfectly good outcome. We'd rather you choose it than feel locked in.

You're new. Why should I take the risk?

Fair question, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we'd point to is the work above — Zappy Tools, DialFit, Citizen Bath and Essence Beauty are live, they're ours end to end, and you can go and use them right now. Shivoham Yog is a client site we delivered in Maharashtra. Beyond that: milestone payments so you're never far out of pocket, and the honest advantage of hiring someone who still has a reputation to build rather than one to coast on.

Can you fix or take over an existing site?

Often, yes. Sites that were half-built, abandoned by a previous web design company or developer, or hacked are some of the most common work we take on. Send us the URL and we'll tell you honestly whether repairing it or rebuilding it is the better use of your money.

Are you a marketing agency?

No. Biz Hoist is a web design company that also builds apps and custom software, not one of the marketing agencies that run ad campaigns and social media. We build, host and fix websites, and set ads up once if you need them. If you want ongoing campaign management, top advertising agencies do that well, and we will say so.

What is the best web design company for a small business?

The one that fixes a price before starting, shows live work you can click through, explains how the site will be hosted and maintained, and hands you the code at the end. Screenshots are not enough; ask for URLs. Any web design company worth hiring will also tell you when you do not need them.

Can I use ChatGPT or an AI website builder instead of hiring a web design company?

For a simple placeholder page, yes, and it is a sensible way to start. AI builders fall short on speed, search structure, reliable forms and anything custom, and you rarely own clean code at the end. We use AI tools ourselves to work faster, but a person still designs, checks and owns every part of the build.

Will my website show up in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT answers?

Nobody can guarantee it, but you can make it much more likely. AI answers draw on pages that load fast, render fully without JavaScript, explain clearly what a business does and carry structured data, plus reviews and listings elsewhere. Every site we build covers the on-site part; the off-site part takes time.
