Websites for small & local businesses

If they can't find you,
they found your
competitor.

People check online before they call, drive over, or book — every time. No site, outdated site, or one that's slow on a phone, and you're invisible right when someone's ready to choose. I build the site that gets you found and gets you picked.

Flat-fee projects · Usually live in 2–4 weeks · One person, one point of contact — me.

What it's actually costing you

A missing website isn't neutral. It's a quiet leak.

Every one of these is a person who was ready to become a customer — and picked whoever showed up instead.

01

The 9pm search

Someone finds you on social, wants your hours and price before calling. No site to check means no answer — and no call.

02

The side-by-side

They're comparing you to two competitors right now. Whoever looks most legitimate on a phone screen wins the comparison.

03

The referral that stalls

A happy customer sends a friend your way. The friend googles you, finds nothing solid, and the referral goes cold.

Why work with me

Not an agency.
Not a DIY builder.

Agencies hand you off to a project manager, then a junior designer, then a support queue. DIY builders hand you a template and a login, and you're on your own the moment something breaks.

I do the whole thing myself — one person who answers the phone, writes the copy with you, builds the site, and is still around six months later when you want to add a page. You're not a ticket number.

I specialize in businesses like yours: the kind where most customers are local, most decisions happen on a phone, and the website's only job is to turn a search into a call, a booking, or a walk-in.

How a project runs

Four steps. No surprises.

You'll always know what's happening next and what it costs before it happens.

01

Talk

A short call about your business, your customers, and what the site needs to do. You get a flat quote before anything starts.

02

Design

I build the homepage look first so you can react to something real, not a mood board. We refine it together.

03

Build

Every page gets built, tested on real phones, and checked against how people actually search for a business like yours.

04

Launch

Site goes live, you get the keys and a quick walkthrough. After that, I stay reachable for ongoing maintenance — updates, tweaks, and anything that comes up down the road.

Investment

One flat fee. No hourly guessing games.

A simple, mobile-first website with everything a small business needs to get found and get chosen — with ongoing care built in, so it never just goes stale after launch.
