How much does Zorva Labs cost?

$57 per month, all-in. That includes the custom website build (no setup fee), domain registration with DNS management, Zorva Edge hosting, SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and monthly content changes. Larger custom work is billed at $33/hour, always quoted upfront.

Does Zorva Labs handle SEO and AI search optimization?

Yes — every site we build comes with on-page SEO and AI search optimization (AIO, AEO, GEO) baked in. That covers schema markup, llms.txt, structured FAQs, conversational headings, and the entity graph that ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity rely on. Zorva Grow adds high-authority backlinks as a $257/month add-on.

Is the website really free?

Yes. We design and build your custom 3-page website at no upfront cost — it's bundled into the $57/month plan. As long as you stay subscribed, your site is live and maintained.

How long does it take to launch a website?

Most websites are live within 7 days. We request your content on day 1, send a preview by day 4, and launch after your approval.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — no contracts, cancel from your Stripe portal anytime. We do ask for a 90-day minimum after launch to cover the initial build cost.

Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress?

Those builders look cheap but cost more once you add apps, plugins, hosting, and your own time to build. Wix Business with apps runs $72/mo. WordPress with hosting and plugins runs $60/mo plus your time. And the sites are template-driven, hard to customize, and don't get optimized for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity. Plus, you have to build it yourself or pay a developer.

What kind of website changes are included?

Text edits, photo swaps, hours and price updates, contact info changes, small layout tweaks, and any change under 15 minutes — all included. Larger projects like new pages, redesigns, or integrations are quoted at $33/hour.

Where is Zorva Labs based?

Zorva Labs is based in Nashville, Tennessee. We serve small businesses across the United States and Canada.

Yes. You own your domain, the source code, the design, your logo, your content, and your brand. If you ever leave Zorva Labs, you take everything with you intact — no rebuild required. Unlike Wix, Squarespace, or most agencies, there's no vendor lock-in.

Founder · Zorva Labs · Nashville, TN

Michael Blair — web designer & SEO consultant, 20 years in

I'm the founder, designer, developer, and on-call everything for Zorva Labs. I hand-code every site we ship from a blank Next.js file, host it on Zorva Edge's global edge, and maintain it personally. No agency hand-offs, no junior staff, no contractors. If you hire Zorva, you're working with me.

My story

From hand-coded HTML in 2005 to AI-search-ready sites in 2026.

I started building websites in 2005 with a text editor and a single hand-writtenindex.html. No frameworks, no drag-and-drop, no CMS. Just raw HTML and a stubborn belief that small business deserved better than the template-driven web.

Over twenty years I've built hundreds of sites — everything from local plumber sites to enterprise SaaS apps. Tried every builder (Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Bubble), every CMS (WordPress, Drupal, Ghost), every framework (Rails, Django, Express, Next.js). The conclusion that became Zorva Labs: small businesses get the best outcomes when one experienced developer hand-builds the whole stack — web, hosting, SEO, marketing, branding — without the agency hand-offs that dilute every layer.

What I do

The full stack, end to end.

Custom Web Design

Hand-coded Next.js sites built around the business — not pulled from a template library. Twenty years of patterns refined down to the ones that actually convert.

SEO + AI Search

Local SEO, technical SEO, and the newer AI search disciplines (GEO, AIO, AEO). Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews on optimized sites within 60-90 days.

Zorva Edge hosting

Every site runs on Zorva Edge's global network — sub-second load times worldwide, 99.99%+ uptime, free auto-renewing SSL, daily backups, instant rollback.

Paid Media (Google + Meta)

Google Ads + Meta Ads managed weekly. Conversion tracking via GA4 + Google Ads + Meta Conversions API. No agency markup on ad spend.
