Prices and terms
How it works, what it costs, and the fine print, in one place. The only price that counts is the one I text you in writing before I start.
Why not just hire a web designer?
Most charge a few thousand dollars up front, then hand you the keys. After that, keeping it online, fixing it, and changing it are on you.
No setup fee. You pay your first month when you say yes to the design, and that covers the build. I build it, I run it, and when you need a change, you text me. I use modern tools so it costs less. A real person, me, checks every change.
How it works
- Tell me about your business. Text or call. No forms, no meetings you have to sit through.
- See your home page first. I send it to your phone. Like it? It goes live. Don't? You owe nothing.
- Text me changes. New hours, a new photo, a new price. Done within two business days, usually faster.
What it costs
From $99 a month
Founder rate for my first 10 businesses. Normally from $149.
No setup fee. Month to month. Leave any time, free.
You see a mockup of your home page before you pay a dollar. Don't like it? You owe nothing. Like it? Your first month covers the build, and monthly billing starts when your site goes live.
What's included
- Built from scratch. No templates. I design it around your business and your brand. Up to 5 pages and a contact form. Looks right on phones and computers.
- I run it. I keep it fast, secure, backed up, and up to date. If it ever goes down, I get an alert right away and I'm on it.
- Changes by text. Hours, prices, photos: done within 2 business days. Bigger ones get a price first.
- Ready for Google. Set up so people who search for you find you, and I help link it to your Google listing. Your link shows a photo and your name when someone texts or posts it.
Anything more is priced per job, before I start. See what else I can build
Plain terms
- The quote is the price. Locked for your first year, founder rate included. After that, 30 days written notice before any change.
- Your web address (domain), words, and photos are always yours. You buy the domain (about $15 a year). I set it up.
- After 12 months, the site is yours too. Just ask, and I'll send you a full copy, free, to take anywhere. Stay for the service, not because you're stuck.
- Leaving sooner? Just stop paying. No fee. Your site comes down when your paid month ends. Your web address, words, and photos still go with you.
- If I ever close up shop: 90 days notice, and your whole site, free.
I can also build

- Online ordering, booking, or a storeHooked up to the tools you already use, like Square.
- A screen in your shopA tap list or price board on your TV that updates when your site does.
- Custom softwareSomething built around how your business runs, whatever its size. Scheduling, tracking, the thing you do by hand every week.
Common questions
This is a test!
Just making sure this shows up
Who owns my web address?
You own your domain. It's in your name and your own account. You pay about $12-15 a year for it, and I will work with you to set it up to direct it to your website.
Who owns the website?
Your words, photos, and logo are always yours. After 12 months, the site itself is yours too. Just ask, and I'll send you a full copy, free, to take anywhere.
How long do I have to stay?
As long as you like. It's month to month from day one.
How do I cancel?
Text me. No fee and no notice needed. Your site stays up through the month you paid for. Been with me 12 months or more? I'll send you a full copy of your site to take with you.
Do you use templates?
No. I don't start from a template and swap in your logo and words. Every site is built from scratch around your business and your brand. It's designed for your business, not copied from anyone else's.
Will my price go up?
Not in your first year. Your price is locked for 12 months, founder rate included. After that, if it ever changes, you get 30 days notice in writing first. Asking for more, like extra pages or a store? You get a price for that before I start.
Is there a setup fee?
No. Your first month is paid when you say yes to the design, and that covers the build. Monthly billing starts when your site goes live.
How fast are changes?
I reply within 1 business day and finish within 2. Most are faster.
Do I have to learn anything or log in?
No. Text me what you want changed. That's it.
I already have a website. Can I switch?
Yes. You keep your web address, and I move it over to the new site. Links to your old pages lead to the new ones, so customers and Google don't hit dead ends.
Will it look right on phones?
Yes, and on tablets and computers too. I look at how your customers use it and build around that. If they mostly find you on their phone, calling you or getting directions is one tap. If they sit down to browse a menu or a gallery, it reads well on a big screen.
Is my site safe?
I keep it secure and up to date. Every version is saved, so if anything goes wrong, I can put it back in minutes.
Will people find me on Google?
I build your site so Google can read it, and I tell Google it's there as soon as it goes live. I also link it to your Google listing. Nobody can honestly promise you the top spot.
What if I need an online store or more pages?
Text me what you have in mind. You'll get a price before I start, and it won't change.
What if something happens to you?
Your web address and everything you gave me are always yours. If I ever close up shop, you get 90 days notice and your whole site, free.
Something else? Text me.
