HANDBUILT WEBSITES
No templates, no drag-and-drop builder, no outsourced dev team on the other side of the world. Just a real site, built by one person who cares whether it’s right.
Three ways to work together — no bloated packages, no upsell maze. One time fee for the site, and optional hosting.
A home page plus up to 3 subpages, built to load fast and work perfectly on phones. Contact form wired straight to your inbox, basic SEO so people can actually find you. Two rounds of revisions included.
most small businesses start here
A bigger site — up to 8 subpages — with real booking or payment built into it. Not a Calendly widget embedded on a page or a Stripe link bolted on, but scheduling and checkout designed as part of the site, so a customer goes from landing on it to booked or paid without ever leaving.
best if you take bookings and/or online payments
Hosting, uptime monitoring, and security updates after launch, so your site stays fast and online without you thinking about it. Higher tier includes monthly content edits.
