About Own Your Sites
Own Your Sites helps small businesses get professional websites without confusing language, unclear pricing, or unnecessary monthly design subscriptions.
Who builds the websites?
Own Your Sites was created by Nadia Gilbertson, a Cybersecurity Engineering student at Iowa State University with experience building, securing, and deploying web applications.
Her full-stack project, Pathwaays, was built using Java, Spring Boot, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, nginx, AWS, DNS, and HTTPS.

Many business owners know they need a website but do not know what they are actually purchasing. Terms such as hosting, domains, servers, DNS, and code can make the process feel more complicated than it needs to be.
Own Your Sites makes each part understandable. You receive a clear explanation of what is being built, what it costs, and what belongs to you when the project is finished.
The goal is straightforward: create a website that looks professional, works properly, and remains under your control.
The approach
Technical decisions are explained in normal language, so you always understand what is happening.
Website creation and yearly online costs are presented separately, with no hidden design subscription.
Your business controls its website, domain, and files instead of being permanently locked into an agency.
