Six people who keep local businesses online.

We build your site, then host it and keep it running, so you are never left holding a file you cannot open and nobody to call. We work with local businesses across the Philippines and the United States, and builds start at $310, priced for a neighborhood business rather than a funded startup.

Why LokalHost?

The name is the whole promise: a neighborhood business, plus the infrastructure that keeps it online.

Lokal

The neighborhood half

We build for independent shops and studios: salons, bakeries, gyms, the businesses on your street. Prices are set for a local business, not for a funded startup.

Host

The part that keeps working

We do not hand you a folder and disappear. We keep your site online, updated, and quick to load on a phone, so it does not quietly break six months after launch.

Who we build for, and how.

Local service businesses that need a real online presence without agency pricing or agency timelines.

Who we serve

  • Salons, spas and beauty services
  • Fitness studios, gyms and yoga centers
  • Bakeries, cafés and local food businesses
  • Clothing brands and local retail shops
  • Dry cleaning and neighborhood shops
  • Independent service providers

How we build

  • Prices start at $310 and run to $1,700
  • A simple site goes live in 7–10 business days
  • The largest builds, with booking and payments, take 40–60 business days

What you get out of it.

Four things we are on the hook for, and what each one looks like in practice.

Built for the phone it will actually be read on.

Most people will meet your business on a small screen, one-handed, outdoors. Every build is laid out for that first and widened for a desktop after, not the other way round.

What happens after you say yes.

Six steps from the first call to a site that is live. You always know which one you are in.

  1. 01

    We talk it through

    A call to understand your business, what you sell, and who you are selling to. You get a written quote and a delivery date.

  2. 02

    You approve and pay half

    The deposit books your slot and starts the work.

  3. 03

    We agree the direction

    You see and confirm the design direction before a single page gets built.

  4. 04

    We build it

    Development, then testing on real phones and slow connections, not just on a laptop.

  5. 05

    You review it

    You go through the site and send changes. Your package sets how many rounds you get.

  6. 06

    It goes live

    You settle the balance, then we deploy it. Files and deployment are released once the balance is in.

What you can hold us to.

Reviews tell you what working with us felt like. These are the promises we put in writing before you pay anything.

  • For one-time builds, you pay half up front and half before delivery.
  • Revisions are counted in your package, not billed by surprise.
  • Your delivery window is agreed before you sign up or pay a deposit.
  • One-time packages have no lock-in contract.

Ready to work together?

Tell us about your business and we'll send back a written quote and a delivery date. No hourly rates. One-time builds use a half-up-front, half-before-delivery payment schedule.

Fixed scope • No hourly rates • You deal with the same six people throughout
