More than a website
Your website is only the front door. FMHQ runs what happens behind it.
FMHQ is a private, easy-to-use command center built around your business. Instead of juggling form submissions, contracts, invoices, customer details, and project updates across different apps, you can manage everything from one organized dashboard.Available as an optional, custom-built backend within a First Matter website project.

Common questions
The things people ask first.
- How much does a custom website cost?
- Public plans are Hosting at $29 a month, Care at $99 a month, Care + Local Visibility at $249 a month, and Care + Growth SEO at $399 a month. No setup fee. Every plan has a 3-month minimum, then month-to-month. Want to own your site? Your monthly payments count toward the $750 buyout. The pricing page lists what each plan includes.
- How long does it take to build a website?
- It depends on the business and on how ready the words and photos are. The first step is a free sample homepage. Brandon will reach out after the form comes in. Your free sample homepage in 2 days.
- Do I need to have my content and branding ready first?
- No. Most projects arrive as a rough idea rather than a finished brief, and that is the normal starting point. If there is no identity yet, brand work can run alongside the site so the two are designed as one system instead of being retrofitted to each other later.
- What happens to my website after it launches?
- You pick a plan: Hosting at $29 a month, Care at $99 a month, Care + Local Visibility at $249 a month, or Care + Growth SEO at $399 a month. Hosting includes hosting, security updates, and backups, with edits at $50 an hour and a 30-minute minimum. Care adds small text and photo edits and a direct line to Brandon. The higher plans add the Google listing work and, at $399, a page and on-page fixes each month. No ranking is promised.
- Do you work with clients outside your area?
- Yes. First Matter is from Oklahoma City and works with businesses anywhere. You call or text Brandon. A visit is not part of the work.
- Can you redesign an existing website instead of starting over?
- Yes. Redesigns are a standard part of the web design service, and they usually begin with an audit of what the current site is doing and where it is losing people. Sometimes the right answer is a rebuild; sometimes it is a sharper structure and clearer calls to action on top of what already exists.
- What makes a website worth rebuilding?
- Usually one of three things: the site does not reflect what the business actually sells now, visitors cannot complete the one action that matters most, or it was built on something that has become slow or difficult to maintain. A site that simply looks dated but still converts well is rarely the most urgent problem to solve.
