What I build

Three ways I can help you.

01

Brand new website

Starting from scratch. We figure out what you need, design it together, and launch something you're genuinely proud to share.

02

Redesign & refresh

Got a site stuck in 2014? I'll bring it into now without losing what's already working — and what your loyal customers love.

03

Expand what you have

Add online booking, a menu, a gallery, or a small shop. New features built into your existing site without a full rebuild.

Who I work with

For the small, the local, and the lovingly made.

How it works

Simple, no surprises.

1

Free consult

20 minutes. Tell me about your business, what you need, what's bugging you. No sales pitch.

2

Custom quote

Clear quote, scope, and timeline tailored to your project. No surprise add-ons later.

3

Designed & built

You share your vibe and copy (or I help write it). I build, you review, we refine.

4

Live & supported

We launch. I'm around for edits, updates, and questions long after launch day.

Pricing

Fair quotes for real work.

Every project is different, every quote is custom. Most sites start around $500 and scale based on pages, features, and complexity. Consultation is always free.

One page. Tells your story, shows your work, gets you found by customers.

$500+
Multi-page site

3–6 pages. Menu, gallery, about, contact — the full picture for your shop.

$1,200+
With booking or shop built in

Online booking, e-commerce, or custom integrations included.

Common questions

Asked & answered.

Getting started

What if I'm not technical at all?

Most of my clients aren't — that's the whole point. I'll walk you through everything in plain language. You don't need to know what HTML is to end up with a site you love.

Who owns the domain name?

Up to you. If you'd rather buy and own it directly, I'll point you to a registrar — it costs about $12–15/year and takes five minutes. Or I can purchase it for you and transfer it to your name at launch. Either way, the domain belongs to you.

Where will my site be hosted?

For most small-business sites, I host on a fast, free platform like GitHub Pages or Cloudflare Pages — no monthly fees, automatic HTTPS, and a global CDN so it loads quickly anywhere. If your site needs server-side features (custom booking, an inventory-backed shop), I'll recommend hosting that fits — typically $5–15/month.

How does payment work?

Typically a 50% deposit to start and the rest before launch. Larger projects can be split into thirds. Payment via Zelle, Venmo, or bank transfer — your call.

Will my site work on mobile phones?

Yes — every site I build is fully responsive and looks great on phones right out of the box. Mobile support is standard, not an add-on. The one exception: if you want a mobile experience that's drastically different from the desktop version (a separate layout, unique navigation, different content), that's a bigger design and build effort that may affect the quote. Most small-business sites don't need that — a well-done responsive design covers everything.

Beyond websites

Can you come take photos for our shop?

Absolutely. On-site photography is an add-on, priced based on travel distance and the kind of shoot we need. I'll quote it separately during the consult so there are no surprises.

Do you build personal sites or portfolios too?

Yes. The same care and craft applies — writers, photographers, freelancers, anyone who needs a place online that feels like them and not a template.

After launch

What happens after launch? Will you keep updating the site?

I'm around. Small edits — a new menu item, updated hours, fresh photos — I'll handle for you free during the first 30 days post-launch. After that, ongoing edits are billed hourly, or we can set up a small monthly retainer if you want regular changes.

Can I edit the site myself once it's live?

Depends on the project. For simple sites, I can set you up with an easy editor so you can update text and photos without touching code. For sites with more moving parts (booking, shop), I usually handle updates so nothing breaks. We'll pick the right setup during the consult.

About the build

How are you so fast?

AI tooling has changed development. Work that used to be weeks of boilerplate happens in hours now, which lets me spend my time on the design, copy, and details that actually matter for your shop. Faster turnaround, no shortcuts on craft.

What if I have my own design or designer?

Bring it on. If you've got a design, mood board, or even a Figma file, I'll build it faithfully. I'll flag anything that needs adjusting for the web — responsiveness, accessibility — but the vision stays yours.

What about copy? Do I need to write everything?

Either works. You can supply your own copy, or tell me what you want to express and I'll help shape it. For small shops, the best copy comes from how you actually talk about your business — so we'll always work from your voice, not generic filler.

Will my site show up on Google?

I build with proper SEO basics — meta tags, structured data, fast load times — so search engines can index your site easily. Ranking depends on your business, your location, and competition; I can't promise the #1 spot, but the technical foundation will be there.

Can you handle automation — order processing, inventory, internal tools?

Possibly. These projects are scoped individually. Reach out and let's talk through what you need; I'll tell you honestly whether I can help or whether I should refer you to someone better suited.
