Websites
A fast, honest site that actually works on phones.
Design and build of straightforward, fast-loading websites for local businesses, with clear content and no bloat. Hosting and maintenance options available — no vague monthly plan you never see the value of.
Most small-business sites are slow, hard to update, and invisible on Google. Most small businesses don’t need an expensive, complicated site — they need one that loads fast on a phone, clearly says what they do and where they serve, makes it easy to call or message, and shows up when locals search for the service. That’s achievable without overspending.

What actually drives the price
A website’s cost comes down to a few real things, not a vague number pulled from the air: the number of pages and complexity (a clean one-page site for a local trade is very different from a multi-page site with booking or a store), the amount of custom design work versus a clean template-informed build, the features you need beyond a standard contact form, and whether your content and photos are ready or need to be created.
It’s also worth separating two different costs: the build — a one-time cost to design and launch the site — and hosting and maintenance — an ongoing cost to keep it online, updated, and secure. A static site (fast, secure, low-maintenance) can be very cheap to host. Be wary of anyone who locks you into an expensive monthly plan where you never actually own your site — you should own your domain and your content, period.
The right way to price a website is to talk through what your business actually needs — no more, no less — and get an estimate up front before any work starts.
Pricing, honestly
Simple sites start around a few hundred dollars; larger sites with more pages or features are quoted by scope. You get a clear price before any work starts — no surprise invoice, no locked-in monthly plan that hides who owns the site.
Questions
How much does a website cost?
It depends on size and features. I build fast, clean sites without bloat and give a clear quote up front. Hosting and maintenance options are separate and explained plainly.
Do you give estimates before starting?
Yes, always up front. You approve the scope and rough cost before I start any work.
Will my site rank on Google?
I build the on-page basics that help local search — clear content, fast loading, mobile-friendly layout — but no one can honestly guarantee a ranking. I’ll tell you plainly what’s in my control and what isn’t.
Can I update the site myself afterward?
Yes — I set it up so you can make basic updates, and I’m available if you’d rather I handle changes for you.
Do I own my site and domain?
Yes. You own your domain and your content — no locking you into a plan where you never actually control your own site.
