Every project is scoped individually, priced up front, and delivered as a site you control — whether you're starting from nothing or fixing something that isn't working.

Most requested

Small Business Website Development

A complete website for your business — built from scratch around the services you sell and the customers you want to reach. No page-builder bloat, no monthly platform fees, no template that looks like your competitor's.

Most small business sites fail for the same two reasons: they load slowly on a phone, and they give search engines nothing to index. Both get solved here before the site goes live.

  • Custom multi-page or single-page design in your brand colors
  • Service pages written to target what customers actually search
  • Contact and quote forms wired to your inbox
  • Hosting and domain guidance — in your accounts, or I can handle everything

Personal Website Development

A portfolio, resume site, or personal brand page for consultants, creatives, freelancers and job seekers. Clean, fast, and built so your name ranks when someone searches it.

  • Portfolio, case study or resume layouts
  • Personal-brand schema so your name resolves correctly
  • Contact form, booking link or newsletter signup
  • Straightforward editing handoff

Website Optimization

You already have a site — it just isn't earning its keep. I audit what's there, fix what's dragging it down, and rebuild the pieces that can't be repaired.

  • Technical audit: crawlability, indexing, redirects
  • Core Web Vitals and page speed remediation
  • On-page fixes: titles, headings, metadata, internal links
  • Mobile usability and accessibility repair
Process

Four steps, no surprises.

You'll know the scope, the price and the timeline before any work starts.

Discovery call

Thirty minutes on what your business does, who you're trying to reach, and what the site has to accomplish. You leave with a fixed quote.

Design & build

I build the real site, not a mockup you have to imagine. You review it on a private preview link and give feedback in plain language.

Launch & handoff

Site goes live on your hosting, under your domain and the logins handed to you. I can handle this for you as well at an additional fee.

Optimization

Optional ongoing work: tracking what people search to find you, adding pages that capture it, and keeping speed scores where they should be.

Optimization

Optimization isn't an add-on. It's how the site gets built.

A beautiful website nobody finds is an expensive business card. Here's what's handled on every project, at no extra line item.

  • TECHNICAL

    Clean, crawlable foundation

    Semantic HTML, one H1 per page, logical heading order, descriptive image alt text, a valid sitemap.xml and a robots.txt that doesn't accidentally block you.

  • SPEED

    Core Web Vitals in the green

    Compressed images with explicit dimensions to stop layout shift, minimal JavaScript, and fonts that load without blocking the page.

  • SCHEMA

    Structured data search engines trust

    JSON-LD markup for your business, services and FAQs — the same markup that earns expanded results instead of a plain blue link.

  • CONTENT

    Pages built around real queries

    Titles and meta descriptions written for what people type, not internal jargon, with a page per service so each one can rank on its own.

  • LOCAL

    Local and nationwide reach

    Consistent name-address-phone data, and location signals tuned to the areas you actually serve.

Questions

The things owners ask before hiring.

How much does a small business website cost?
It depends on page count and how much of the content I'm writing versus supplying. Most small business sites fall in the mid three figures; a single-page personal or portfolio site is less. You get a fixed quote after the discovery call, before any work begins — no hourly surprises.
How long does it take to build a website?
A single-page site typically takes one to two weeks from approved scope. A multi-page business site with custom copy usually runs three to five weeks. The biggest variable is how quickly content, photos and feedback come back from your side.
Do you only work with businesses in one area?
No. Everything is handled remotely by video call, email and a shared preview link, so I work with clients anywhere in the United States. Local optimization is still tuned to your specific service area, whether that's one town or several states.
Will my website actually show up on Google?
Every site launches technically ready to rank: crawlable markup, structured data, fast load times, and a submitted sitemap. Nobody can guarantee a position — anyone who does is selling something. What I can guarantee is that nothing on the technical side is holding you back, and that the site targets the terms your customers actually search.
Do I own the website when it's finished?
Yes, completely. The domain, hosting account and source files all live in your name. If you want to be completely hands off, I offer domain and hosting at a fixed rate. If you ever want to move to another developer, you take everything with you — there's no proprietary platform to unwind.
Can you fix the website I already have?
Often, yes. That's what the optimization service is for. I start with an audit of speed, indexing and on-page structure, then tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing or whether a rebuild would cost less than the patching.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your logo if you have one, a list of the services you want featured, any photos you'd like used, and your contact details. If you don't have a logo or copy yet, that's a normal starting point — we'll work it out on the call.
