Want yours to be the first case study? Tell me about your business and I will build a free preview within 24 hours.
02 How it works
From first email to live site in seven days.
Four steps. No surprises. The clock starts after I have your business details.
Discovery
I find your business.
I research your business, your neighborhood, your competition. By the time we get on a call I already know what your customers are searching for.
Design
I build your site.
Custom design from scratch, mobile-first, in your voice. No templates, no stock photos that look like every other small business website.
Preview
You see it before you pay.
I send you a live preview link. You click around. You point at things to change. You only pay the setup fee after you approve the look.
Launch
We go live and grow.
Domain setup, SSL, Google Business Profile, schema markup. The monthly plan keeps the site healthy, fast, and current.
03 Pricing
Simple pricing. No hidden costs.
One setup fee, one monthly plan. The monthly plan is the same $25 no matter which tier you pick.
