Why It Matters

Your website is your hardest-working employee

It's open 24/7, it's often the first impression a potential customer has of your business, and it's working for you even when you're not. A poorly designed site loses you business. A well-designed one builds trust before anyone ever picks up the phone.

What's Included

Full-Service Web Design

Custom Design

No templates, no page builders, no cookie-cutter layouts. Every site is designed from the ground up to fit your business, your audience, and your goals.

Mobile-First Development

Most of your visitors are on a phone. Every site I build is tested and optimized for mobile from day one, not bolted on as an afterthought.

WordPress or Custom Code

Depending on your needs, I'll recommend the right platform: a WordPress site you can manage yourself, or a fully custom-coded build for performance and control.

SEO-Ready Structure

Clean code, proper headings, fast load times, and metadata built in from the start, so search engines can find you and customers can too.

Content Strategy

Good design and unclear messaging cancel each other out. I help you figure out what to say, how to say it, and where it needs to go on the page.

Ongoing Support

Need updates, new pages, or something fixed? I don't disappear after launch. I'm available for ongoing edits and support as your business grows.

How It Works

A Simple, Collaborative Process

01

Discovery Call

We talk through your business, your goals, your audience, and what you need the site to do. No jargon, no sales pitch, just an honest conversation.

02

Design & Build

I design and develop your site, keeping you involved at key checkpoints so nothing comes as a surprise. Revisions are part of the process.

03

Review & Launch

We review together, make final adjustments, and launch when you're ready. I handle the technical side so you can focus on your business.

Maintenance Retainers Available

Ask About Retainers

Not every client wants to manage their own site, and that's completely fine. I offer monthly maintenance retainers that cover software updates, content edits, security monitoring, and general upkeep so your site stays fast, secure, and current without you having to think about it. Retainer plans are available for any site I build and for sites built elsewhere. Reach out to talk through what makes sense for your situation.

  • Content edits and additions

Common Questions

FAQ

Most small business sites take 2-4 weeks from our first call to launch. Larger builds with custom features or e-commerce can run 4-8 weeks. I'll give you a realistic timeline up front, no surprises.

Every project includes two full rounds of revisions before launch. In practice, most clients don't need both, because I stay in close contact throughout the process, big surprises at the end are rare.

Yes. I can recommend hosting, help you purchase a domain, and handle the technical setup so you don't have to figure it out yourself. Ongoing hosting costs are separate and typically run $10-20/month depending on your provider.

Absolutely. If your site is built on WordPress, I include a walkthrough so you can update text, images, and pages on your own. I also offer ongoing support if you'd rather have me handle updates.

Yes. Most of the process happens over email and video call, so location isn't a barrier. I primarily serve Portsmouth, Chillicothe, and Huntington WV, but work with clients anywhere.

Just a clear sense of what you need and who your audience is. If you have existing branding, logo files, or content, bring those too. If not, we'll figure it out together. The discovery call is low-pressure and free.
