Websites That Don't
Need Babysitting.

I design and build small-business sites that are SEO-optimized and accessible by default — not paid add-ons, just how every site ships. And when it's done, it's yours: host it anywhere, change anything, no lock-in. Prefer to hand off the upkeep? Care plans have you covered.

The Difference

Most small-business sites are rented. Yours should be owned.

SEO & Accessible by Default
Fast, findable, and usable by everyone — built in from the start, never sold back to you as an upgrade.
Yours to Keep
No proprietary builder, no hostage hosting. Host it anywhere, edit anything, walk away whenever you want.
Built to Last
Clean, lightweight code that loads quick and holds up — not a pile of plugins waiting to break.

Questions

Good to Know

Do I own the site?
Completely. You get the code and assets — host it anywhere, hire anyone to change it, no lock-in and no permission needed.
Do I have to buy a care plan?
No. Plans are for people who'd rather not think about hosting and upkeep. Skip it and self-host if you prefer.
Can you move my existing site?
Yes — migrations off Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, and others are a regular part of what I do.
What does a site cost?
It depends on scope, so I quote every project up front after a free call. No hourly surprises, no enterprise tiers.
How long does it take?
Most small-business sites run a few weeks from scope to launch, depending on size and how quickly content comes together.
Is SEO really included?
Yes — clean structure, fast load times, meta tags, and accessibility ship with every build, not as a paid add-on.
