This is for local service
business owners who need a
website that actually does something.
Loads fast, looks professional, and brings in real inquiries. Here’s what every project includes, what you can add on, and what it costs to keep it running after launch.
What’s in Every Project
Every site is built from scratch. No templates, no page builders, no off-the-shelf theme with your logo dropped in. The design is specific to your business. So is the copy. Or at least the structure, if you bring your own.
Projects start at $2,500 for a base 4-page build. The price scales with scope. More pages, integrations, and add-ons change the number. Every project is quoted before work begins. That quote is binding.
Every project moves through six phases.
↻ Phases 3 through 5 are iterative. Changes surface, get addressed, and get approved. In that order. Most projects run 6 to 8 weeks start to finish.

Optional Add-Ons
These are available on any project. The list isn’t exhaustive. If you need something not listed here, reach out. I build to fit the project, not the menu.

Common Questions
The $200 options exist. They're templates. The same design someone in another industry in another state is also using. They're slow, they're generic, and most local businesses outgrow them within a year.
What you're paying for here is a site built specifically for your business, fast enough to rank in local search, with code you actually own. It's also the only thing between you and a lead who looked you up, didn't like what they saw, and called someone else.
Yes. The code is yours. The domain is yours. You buy it, I manage the DNS on your behalf. If you ever want to move to a different developer, you take everything with you. No lock-in.
Most projects run 6 to 8 weeks from kick-off to launch. The main thing that extends timelines is a long review loop on either end. The process is designed to keep that moving.
Minor changes in the first 30 days are covered. After that, content and copy updates are included in The Growth Tier and above. Larger structural changes (adding pages, new integrations) are scoped and quoted separately.
No. Every site is a custom Next.js build, hand-coded from scratch. That's why the performance scores are what they are and why the site holds up over time.
Doesn't matter. Most clients either have nothing or have something they're embarrassed to send people to. Either situation is the same starting point. The existing site can inform the new one. What's working, what's not. But nothing carries over just because it was there before.
The first 30 days are covered. After that, your maintenance plan handles it. The Growth Tier includes weekly error log reviews. In most cases, issues get caught before you're even aware of them. If something catastrophic happens, that's still on me to fix regardless of tier.
