A new website
A site designed around your business that you can update yourself. No pile of add-ons to keep track of.
Services
Websites built for how your business runs
I build websites for restaurants, inns, tour companies, real estate agents, and local shops. You can update them yourself, and the site and hosting are yours.
- You own your domain, hosting, and website
- A written plan before any work starts
- I reply within one business day (Eastern Time)

How I can help
Whether you need a brand-new site or help with the one you have, here’s what I do.
Custom features
Need online booking, a better contact form, or something your site can’t do yet? I build it to fit how you work.
Help for agencies
Agency with more work than hands? I step in behind the scenes.
Also on the menu
Smaller jobs and extras, for when your site needs a little more.
Fix a messy site
A messy or half-finished site, cleaned up so it’s easy to edit again.
Online stores
A shop that matches your brand and keeps checkout simple for your customers.
Connect your tools
Link your site to the booking, form, or email tools you already use.
Interactive extras
Things like live hours, filters, and calculators, when a plain page won’t do.
Who I usually work with: restaurants, inns, tour companies, real estate agents, local shops, and the agencies that serve them.
Process
How a project works
Every project follows the same four steps. You always know what comes next, and you can watch your site come together.
Plan it together
A short plan in plain English: what’s included, what isn’t, and what done looks like. No long proposal.
You get: a written plan and a price.
Build it in stages
I share a working preview at each stage. You tell me what to change, and I keep going until it’s right.
You get: a preview link at every stage.
Learn to run it
Updating your pages works a lot like editing a document. Before launch, I walk you through anything new.
You get: a site you can update yourself.
You own it
Your domain, hosting, and website are all yours. On our last call, we go through the handoff checklist together.
You get: your logins, and a short list of who to call.
How long does it take? A simple site usually takes two to three weeks. Features like online booking can stretch that to four to eight. You’ll get a realistic estimate in the written plan.
Agencies
Extra help for agencies
When your team is full, I step in behind the scenes. You keep the client, and I work with your team.
Behind the scenes
I work under your name and talk only to your team. Your client sees your agency and nothing else.
A clear plan first
Every job starts with a written plan and one price, so you can quote your own client.
Handed back clean
You get an editable site and a handoff checklist your own team can pick up. I can sign an NDA if you need one.
Work
Websites I’ve built
Live demos you can click through. Most client work is private, so these are examples I built to share.

Questions
Common questions
Do I need a custom site or a ready-made theme?
If one of my themes fits your kind of business, it’s the quickest way to launch. If you need something built around how you work, a custom site makes more sense. Not sure? Tell me about your business and I’ll point you the right way.
How do I get started?
Use the contact form and tell me about your business in a few lines. I reply within one business day (Eastern Time), and the next step is a short written plan.
Can you fix a site someone else built?
Yes. I’ll look it over, tell you what’s worth keeping, and clean up the rest. My handoff checklist shows what I check first.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes. I take overflow work and I’m happy to stay behind the scenes under your name.
What does “you own it” mean?
Your domain, hosting, and website are all in your name. After handoff, I don’t have access unless you invite me back, and any developer can pick up where I left off.

- You send a few lines about what you need.
- I reply within one business day (Eastern Time) with questions or a next step.
