Websites for local businesses
A website that brings in customers, at a price that makes sense.
I build fast, mobile-friendly websites for bakeries, trades, rental companies and other small businesses. You deal with one person from first call to launch, and you know the price before we start.
- Flat, upfront pricing
- Live in 1–4 weeks
- You own your site and domain

FAQ
Common questions
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name and you get a full copy of your site's files. If you ever want to move it, I'll help you do it.
What do you need from me?
Your logo if you have one, photos of your work or shop, your hours, prices and services, and about an hour of your time across the project for feedback.
I don't have good photos. Is that a problem?
No. I can work with phone photos, help you plan a quick photo session, or use licensed stock photos to start.
Do I have to sign up for a care plan?
No. You can host the site yourself and pay $60 an hour for changes when you need them. Most clients choose a care plan so updates are quick and handled for them.
Can you redo my existing website?
Yes. Redesigns start at $900. Send me the link and I'll quote it for free.
