How it works
From first message to a box on your shelf, in five steps.
Tell us what you need
Fill in the short form. You pick how you like to work: show-me, hands-on, or technical. We shape the whole process around that.
Get a quote
We sort the job into a tier, price the hardware at today's cost, and send a written quote with scope and warranty.
We build
You see the site on a private link as it comes together and leave notes right there. No phone tag.
We ship the box
A Raspberry Pi with your site on it, a spare memory card already loaded, and a one-page "if it's down, try this" guide.
Plug it in
Ethernet boxes just plug into the router. Wi-Fi boxes show a setup page on first power-on. Your domain points at it through Cloudflare.
Good to know
What the box can and can't do
Built for small sites. Bio pages, portfolios, artist sites, small-business pages, event pages, blogs. Forms, booking, payments and video are embedded from outside services, so nothing private sits on the box.
Power cuts. Standard kits include a battery board that keeps the Pi running for hours and protects the memory card.
Internet cuts. Cloudflare serves a saved copy of simple pages while the box is unreachable.
Logins or customer records? That's a Data build on a different kit with an SSD, encrypted off-site backup and a separate agreement. Ask and we'll walk you through it.
Never on the box: payment card numbers. Payments always run through Stripe.
About
A one-person shop in Orange County
WhimyPi is run by Mason Nadelberg. The idea came from watching friends pay monthly for sites that barely changed, then wait days for support when something broke.
The setup, a Pi at home published through Cloudflare, was built and proven on an earlier project before this became a business. Every site we ship is small, honest about its limits, and yours to keep.
