Own it outright. Skip the rent.
We build your website, booking system, CRM or app once, and it's yours. No monthly platform fees from us, ever.
- You own the code and the accounts
- One-time price, no software rent
- Any niche, anywhere in the US
The problem
Monthly software adds up. Quietly.
A website builder here, a booking tool there, a CRM, an ordering platform that takes a cut. Each one looks small. Together they become a bill you pay forever for something you never own.
- Website builder$40/mo
- Booking / scheduling tool$50/mo

Example numbers only. Type your own monthly total below to see your 3-year cost. Cornerstone example uses a $3,000 Standard build plus about $225/year for domain and hosting, paid directly to the provider. Your project is quoted after we talk.

About J
Built by someone who runs small businesses.
I'm J, based in Cape Coral, Florida. I run service businesses of my own and coach other owners through starting theirs, so I know how quickly software costs pile up when you're building something from scratch.
Cornerstone is a name with meaning to me. It's the stone a building is set on. I try to run the business the same way: honest pricing, plain terms, and work you can stand on.
I built Cornerstone so more owners can have real tools without renting them forever.
FAQ
Questions owners ask first.
What does 'you own it outright' actually mean?
The code, the content and the accounts are yours. We set things up in your name and hand you the logins at launch. If you ever want to move to another developer or host, you can. There's no Cornerstone platform to be locked into.
What will hosting and a domain cost?
Typically about $150 to $300 per year, depending on your domain and what your project needs. You pay the provider directly. Cornerstone doesn't mark it up.
How long does a project take?
A Basic site is about a week. Standard is usually one to two weeks. Custom projects are scoped individually, and you'll get a timeline before you commit.
What if I need changes later?
Changes within the agreed scope are part of the build. After launch, you can edit the basics yourself, or ask for a quote on updates. There's no obligation to keep working with us.
Do you offer support?
Yes, as an optional add-on. It's never required, and you can start or stop it whenever you like.
How do payments work?
Typically 50% to start and 50% at launch, paid securely by card or bank through an invoice or payment link. Refund and scope-change terms are spelled out in the service agreement you'll approve before any work begins.
