Two ways we can help
Web work and research, both priced for the TCK community rather than the open market. Pick the one you need.
Need a TCK Site?
We don’t want anyone in our community paying industry prices for web services. These are the lowest prices we can offer, so that a professional site, portal, or app is something TCK families, writers, counselors, and schools can actually afford.

Tell us about you
Build a site. Send a newsletter. Create a portal. Custom-design an app. Ready whenever you are to move beyond a simple site.
The TCK world is a small one, and most of us, from writers and counselors to schools and community builders, are working on tight budgets. TCK Hub now offers sites, portals, and apps at a special TCK-community price. At its heart, TCK Hub exists so that TCK families and the people who care for them can find each other and connect, and an affordable, beautiful web presence is part of that.
Our community is rooted in service! No one needs to overspend on web design. Let’s get you set up with a beautiful new site, or freshen up a site you already have.
You keep your domain. We ship the finished site straight to your address.
Already hosted somewhere? We deliver the build right to the hosting you have. Nothing moves, nothing changes hands.
We collaborate in conversation to get to know you, the purpose of your site, and what you offer the community.
We’ll walk you through getting a domain, the web address your visitors will type to find you.
We’ll walk you through setting up hosting, the place your site lives online. We recommend Squarespace, and we deliver your finished site right to it.
Starting from your ideas, we collaborate in conversation to learn who you are, what you offer, and what your site should say.
Then we do the work of building it, so you don’t have to.
Email usThis is the exact kind of site we’ll build for you. It’s a fictional TCK counseling practice, built with the same care, speed, and polish yours would get.
From email to live site in three steps
Tell us about you
Email with a link to your current site (if you have one) and anything else you have, like a logo, photos, a bio, or a book cover. Rough is fine.
We build a draft
We design and build the full site and send you a private preview link. You tell us what to change. Up to two rounds of revisions are included.
It lands on your site
Make payment based on the package you selected, and we put the finished build on your hosting, or hand you the files if you’d rather upload them yourself. After that, just email us whenever something needs updating.
Not sure where to start?
Finding the right book, counselor, school, or study for your situation can take weeks of digging. We do that digging for you, at a community-friendly flat rate quoted before any work begins.
