Web Build

Custom Websites

A custom-coded site that you actually own. When we’re done I’ll show you how to host it yourself for basically nothing, and you walk away with all the source files. No subscription, no “you can’t leave without paying us” nonsense.

Domain Setup

We help you choose and register your domain name. Typically ~$12/year through Cloudflare or your preferred registrar.

Custom Website

Hand-crafted code to match your brand. Responsive, fast, SEO-optimized. You get 100% of the source code.

Server Setup

Full XAMPP/Apache stack configured on your machine. Run your own web server with no monthly hosting fees.

Free SSL Certificate

Let's Encrypt SSL for HTTPS security. Auto-renewing. Your visitors see the padlock icon — free forever.

Port Forwarding

Router configuration so the world can reach your server. We handle the networking so you don't have to.

Dynamic DNS

Your domain always points to your home IP — even when it changes. Automatic, hands-off, reliable.

Documentation

Clear, written docs for your entire setup. Server, domain, SSL, backups. Everything you need if I'm not around.

Training

1-on-1 walkthrough of your site. How to edit content, restart services, and manage your server. You'll be self-sufficient.

Own Your Website, Not Just Rent It

Most web design agencies build your site on a platform they control — WordPress with a managed host, Wix, Squarespace — and charge you $30-$150/month to keep the lights on. Cancel the subscription, lose the site. That's not ownership; that's a lease.

VibeCMD does it differently. We hand-code your website, set up a web server on your own machine using the same Apache/XAMPP stack that powers millions of sites, configure your domain, install a free SSL certificate, and hand you the keys. You own every file. Your monthly hosting cost? $0. Your only recurring expense is ~$12/year for the domain name.

This isn't some experimental setup — this very website runs on the same self-hosted stack we build for clients. Custom PHP, clean HTML and CSS, optimized images, and zero bloat. No WordPress plugins to update, no page builders slowing things down, no surprise price hikes from a hosting company.

How We Build Your Website

Discovery call. We start with a free consultation to understand your business, your audience, and what you need the site to do. Brochure site? E-commerce? Blog? We'll scope it out and give you an honest quote — no hidden fees.

Design and build. Using AI-assisted development, we build your site faster than traditional agencies without sacrificing quality. Every page is hand-reviewed, mobile-responsive, and optimized for search engines. You'll see progress along the way and can request changes in real-time.

Self-hosting setup. We install and configure Apache on your computer, set up your domain with Cloudflare DNS, configure port forwarding on your router, and install a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate. Full documentation included so you understand every piece of the setup.

Training and handoff. Before we're done, you get a 1-on-1 walkthrough covering how to edit your content, restart services if needed, and manage backups. You'll also receive written documentation covering your entire setup. If you ever need help after launch, we're a phone call away.
