Websites for small businesses

A website that works on phones, shows up on Google, and belongs to you.

I build fast, simple websites for small businesses at a fixed price you know before we start. You work with me directly, from the first call to launch day.

Sound familiar?

Your reviews say you're the best in town. Your website should say the same thing.

Most customers find a local business on their phone and decide in a few seconds. These are the problems I see most often on small business sites.

Hard to use on a phone

Tiny text, pinching and zooming, and menus that don’t open.

“Not secure” warnings

Sites without HTTPS get flagged by Chrome before a customer even sees your name.

Out of date

Old hours, an old phone number, or a copyright year from years ago.

Broken pieces

Missing photos, leftover template text, and pages that say “under construction.”

Rented, not owned

Many sites are leased from a marketing company. Stop paying and the site disappears.

A security risk

Old WordPress sites that haven’t been updated in years are easy targets for hackers.

Website packages

Two fixed prices. No surprises.

After a short call I'll recommend one and send a written quote that lists exactly what's included.

Launch pricing: my next three clients get 25% off either package.

In return, I ask to feature your site and get a short testimonial.

Things I've built

My own product

Cahoot

Event promotion for local venues

I designed, built and run Cahoot and its website. A venue posts an event once, and it shows up on their website, their Facebook page and their members' phones at the same time.
