&Chalk & Code Contact
Web studio · San Antonio, TX

Websites for San Antonio businesses that turn searches into phone calls.

Chalk & Code is a one-person studio. Your site is built by a local developer — not an agency — so you always talk to the person who actually builds it.

See your new homepage before you pay anything. Every project starts with a free sample.

What you get

Everything a local business site needs. Nothing it doesn't.

No bloated packages, no features you'll never use. Just a fast, professional site that makes it easy for customers to call you.

Custom-designed site

Designed around your business, your services, and your customers — never a template with your name swapped in.

Mobile-first

Most of your customers will find you on a phone, so the site is designed for the phone first and looks right everywhere else too.

Click-to-call & quote forms

One tap to call you, and a simple quote-request form for everyone else — so interest turns into conversations, not dead ends.

Google-ready basics

Proper page titles, local business schema, and fast load times — the fundamentals Google needs to understand and rank your site.

Hosting & updates handled

Hosting, security, and changes are looked after for you. Need a price changed or a new photo added? Just send an email.

Plain-English monthly summary

Every month you get a short summary of what changed on your site and how it's doing — written in normal words, not tech jargon.

How it works

You see it before you commit to it.

Most web designers ask for a deposit and a leap of faith. This works the other way around.

1

I build your new homepage first — free to look

Before any commitment, I design a sample of your new homepage using your real services and reviews. You look at it on your own time, on your phone, like a customer would.

2

You nitpick it

Colors, wording, photos — anything you'd change. It should sound like your business, not like me. We adjust it until it does.

3

Live in about a week

Once you approve the sample, the full site is built and launched in about a week — then hosted, updated, and looked after under the care plan.

Pricing

One honest price, in writing.

No quotes that double halfway through, no hourly billing. Here's the whole deal:

Founding clients
$995
one-time build
$99/mo
care plan — hosting, updates, changes, monitoring
  • Why so low? This is the founding rate, offered while the portfolio is being built.
  • What I ask in return: your honest feedback — and a short testimonial if you're happy at the end.
  • Standard pricing once the founding spots are filled will be $2,495 + $199/month.
  • No lock-in: the care plan cancels anytime with 30 days' notice.
Ask about a founding build

Not sure yet? The sample homepage comes first and costs nothing — if you don't like it, you don't pay anything.

Recent work

Sites I built — and still run.

These aren't mockups. They're live products I designed, built, and maintain myself — the same hands that would build yours.

Straight with you: Chalk & Code is taking on its first website clients now — that's exactly why the founding rate above exists. The two sites here are the proof of work in the meantime.
About

The person who answers your email builds your site.

I'm Mark Sanchez, a San Antonio-based developer. I build and run my own web products — FastFuel and TinyTuition above are mine, start to finish — and Chalk & Code is how I do the same work for local businesses.

No account managers, no sales reps, no handoffs to someone overseas. You email me, I answer, I build it. That's the whole operation — and for a local business, that's the point.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Anything else, just ask — ChalkandCodeStudio@gmail.com.

How long does it take?
The sample homepage comes first, and you take whatever time you need with it. Once you approve it, the full site is typically live in about a week.
What do you need from me?
Very little: your logo and any photos if you have them, your list of services, and your hours. Plan on about 20 minutes of your time, total — I'll handle everything else.
What if I don't like the sample?
Then we don't build it. The sample is free to look at, with no charge and no obligation — and no hard feelings. Keep any ideas you liked; they're yours.
What does the care plan cover — and can I cancel?
The $99/month care plan covers hosting, updates, content changes, and monitoring, plus your plain-English monthly summary. Yes, you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice — and your content goes with you.
Do you work with businesses outside San Antonio?
The focus is San Antonio — being local means I'm actually here, and so is my reputation. Outside the area? Ask. It depends on the project, and I'll give you a straight answer.
Founding spots are limited
