How It Works / 04

Simple process,
clear results.

We Talk First

Tell me about your business and what you need. I'll ask the right questions and give you an honest quote. No pressure.

Design & Review

I'll build out the design and share it with you before writing a line of code. You get to see and approve it first.

Build & Launch

I develop the site, handle the technical setup, and get you live. Your domain and hosting account are set up in your name. You own everything.

Support After Launch

I don't disappear after launch. Monthly care plans and hourly edits are available whenever you need them.

About Me / 05

You're working
with me. Directly.

I'm a solo freelance web developer and designer building websites for small businesses, local shops, and service based businesses that need a better online presence without dealing with a big agency process.

My background is a mix of software development, community management, and hands on project work, so I care about more than just making a site look good. I care about making it clear, usable, easy to understand, and built around what the business actually needs.

When you work with me, you're not getting passed between salespeople, account managers, and developers. You're talking directly to the person designing and building the site. That means clearer communication, honest timelines, and fewer things getting lost in translation.

I'm focused on practical websites that look professional, work well on mobile, and help small businesses look more trustworthy online. If you need a clean website, a redesign, or ongoing help keeping things updated, I can help.

Mobile Friendly

Every site works beautifully on phones, tablets, and desktops.

Direct Communication

You talk to me directly, not a support queue or account manager.

You Own It All

Domain and hosting are in your name. You're never locked in.

Practical Pricing

Flat rate quotes, no retainers, and clear scope before we start.
