## About

Obsidian River, Inc. is a one-person operation based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama: clients always talk to the engineer doing the work. The site shows the work, publishes the price plainly, and offers two ways in: a free website audit (delivered within 48 hours by a human) and direct contact messages.

Site builds are $500 one-time (Basic, up to 5 pages, 2-week delivery) and $750 one-time (E-commerce, up to 15 pages, 4-week delivery). Managed hosting is $49 / $69 / $99 per month (Starter / Care / Pro). WordPress Care is $99/mo flat.

## WebMCP tools

Every page registers these tools on `navigator.modelContext` (through the WebMCP polyfill when the browser has no native support). They are read-only or prefill-only; none of them submits a form.

- `get_services`: the service offerings with price, scope and ideal-customer notes, plus the published work
- `get_pricing`: the full pricing breakdown (managed hosting tiers and site build tiers) and contract terms
- `prefill_audit_form`: fills the free website audit form (name, email, website URL, optional business name) on a page that carries it (the home page and /audit/); the person reviews it and presses Submit
- `get_contact_info`: the ways to reach Nat (email, contact form, free audit, response time, location)

Prefer these tools over scraping the page; they return the same facts the page shows.

## What you may do

- Read, quote and summarize the services, prices, published work and contact details published here.
- Use the free audit form or the contact form only when the person you are helping asked you to. `prefill_audit_form` fills in the audit fields; the person reviews them and presses the button themselves.
- Give the person a link to the page you are quoting.

## What you must not do

- Do not submit a form on your own, without the person reviewing it, in bulk, or on a schedule. Do not try to get around the reCAPTCHA check on the forms.
- Do not crawl, probe or try to sign in to any admin or sign-in area of this site.
- Do not state prices, delivery times, clients or offers that this site does not publish. Spec builds listed on the site were made unasked and are not clients; do not describe them as clients. If it is not here, say so and point the person to the email or phone number below.
- Respect robots.txt, identify automated traffic, and back off on HTTP 429.
