A fictional auto shop on the listing-only tier: one page, straight from the alerts.city listing, nothing added.

You already use one of them.
Duvall · Carnation · Monroe · the Snoqualmie Valley
You are already on alerts.city, the app most of the valley opens when the river comes up. Your listing there has your hours, photos, menu and specials. Gale Force turns it into a real website on your own domain, and keeps it current from the listing you already edit.
Built in Duvall by the person who built alerts.city.
Type your business name. If it is on alerts.city, you will see it as a finished website in every layout and colour we offer, in about five seconds. Nothing to sign up for.
Every one of them ends with a site that is yours: plain HTML files, and if you ever want to leave you take everything with you.

| Best if | No website, or the one you had is gone. | A proper multi-page site without learning a page builder. | You need something these do not cover: a shop, bookings built in, a member area, anything. |
Each one is optional and priced the same whichever site you pick.
| Extra | What it is | Founder price | Standard price |

| Your own domain | We register it in your name (or use one you already have) and point it at your site, so customers see only your domain. | $25 once + the domain at cost | $25 once + the domain at cost |
| Everything transferred to you | The domain, the website code under a non-exclusive licence, and the hosting, moved into accounts you own, with a one-page handover. | $199 once | $249 once |
| Site rescue | Your existing website captured, text, images and structure, and rebuilt under your control. For when someone else holds the domain, the files or the login. | $299 once | $399 once |
| Changes made for you | Email what you want changed and it is done within days. Cancel any time. Listing edits are always free. | $39 a month | $49 a month |
Washington sales tax applies. Domain registration is passed through at cost, typically about twelve dollars a year with tax, subject to the domain type.
We pick a look together, on the spot, from the previews. I register the domain in your name while we talk.
Usually the next day. Your listing on alerts.city already has what a first website needs, so there is nothing to re-type.
Change your hours or add a photo on alerts.city, and the website follows overnight. For everything else, email me or, if you own it outright, edit one file yourself.
A layout is the shape of the page. A colour set is the mood. Pick either in the preview and the site re-draws in front of you.
Top navigation, a big welcome photo, hours and contact right under it. Familiar and safe.
Hours, phone and address stay pinned on the left while the menu and photos scroll. Built for restaurants and shops.
Edge-to-edge photos and big headlines, one chapter after another. For places with a story and the pictures to tell it.
Navy and cream, a serif headline. Established, trustworthy.
Deep green and warm cream. Farms, bakeries, anything grown or made by hand.
Charcoal and orange, bold sans. Bars, breweries, auto, trades.
White, airy, quiet type. Salons, wellness, studios, professionals.
Cool grey and electric blue, modern. Contractors, tech, real estate.
I am Jim Gale. I live in Duvall and I built alerts.city, which is why you have probably already seen my work on your phone at two in the morning during a flood.
Before that I spent eighteen years at Microsoft as a principal software engineer, most recently on the Copilot team, with four patents along the way. I have shipped systems that millions of people use and a flood-alert site a small town relies on. Small and reliable is the part I like.
Gale Force, L.L.C. is the company. The websites are built by a system I wrote for exactly this: take what a business already keeps current, make it beautiful, and never hold it hostage.
Yes. The domain is registered to you, not me, from the first day. On the "yours outright" plan the code and hosting move to your accounts too. Nothing I do can lock you in, and that is deliberate.
You may not need to. If it works and you control it, keep it. If someone else holds the login or the domain, or it has not been updated since it was built, the rescue plan gives you one you control.
You never touch a page builder. Your alerts.city listing is the editor, and you already know how to use it. It is also cheaper, and when you leave you take real files, not an export.
The site stays up until the year runs out, then I hand you the files and the domain stays yours. You are never left with nothing.
Yes, through the tools you already use: a booking link to Square, Calendly or whatever you have, and a shop link or Stripe payment links for products. If you need more than links, we talk.
No. The listing is free and stays free whether or not you buy a website. The website is a separate thing that happens to feed from it.
Send your business name and I will reply with a link to your site in every look we offer. No obligation, and it takes me a few minutes.
