Small business websites
Your website is often the first thing a customer sees. I design and build custom websites with React and TypeScript, not templates, so yours loads quickly, reads well on a phone, shows up on Google, and makes it easy for people to call, book, or ask for a quote. Published pricing from $499, and you own everything.
What every site is built to do
Looking good is only the start. Every site I build is designed around four jobs: being easy to use on a phone, being found, turning visitors into customers, and staying current.
Most visitors will find you on a phone, often while standing outside or sitting in a car. Every page is designed for a small screen first, then scaled up for tablets and desktops.
A good-looking site does not help if nobody finds it. Each page is set up so search engines understand what you do, where you do it, and who it is for.
Every page gives visitors a clear next step, and forms land straight in your inbox, so interested people become calls, quote requests, and bookings.
How a website project works
Tell me about your business, your customers, and what you want the site to do. A rough idea is enough. You get a clear written estimate afterwards.
We agree on the pages, features, and timeline in writing before any building starts. Work begins with 50% of the agreed price.
You see your site take shape on your own phone and computer through a private preview link, and tell me what to change as we go.
Your domain is connected, every form is tested, and Google is set up. The remaining 50% is due at launch, and not before.
New pages, seasonal changes, or a monthly care plan. Anything extra is quoted up front, so there are no surprise bills.
Built with React and TypeScript
React and TypeScript are the same tools behind many of the web’s biggest products. You do not need to know how they work. Here is what they mean for your business and your customers.
Pages are built ahead of time and served from a global network, so they appear almost instantly, even on a weak phone signal.
Google rewards fast, mobile-friendly pages. Every page also carries its own title, description, and link preview for social media.
There is no pile of plugins to keep patched and no admin login for bots to guess, the two most common ways small business sites are broken into.
Readable contrast, keyboard navigation, and image descriptions, so more of your customers can use your site comfortably.
A pre-built site needs very little to host. You are not paying for a large server just to show a handful of pages.
Bookings, payments, or a shop can be added later on the same foundation, and the site can even become an app customers install.
A clear plan before building
Before any building starts, you get a simple plan of every page and the job it does. Here is what one looks like for a typical five-page service business.

Start with what's frustrating you. Here are a few examples of how we could approach it together.
“People find my business, but they never get in touch.”
A focused website can show your services, answer the first few questions, and make requesting a quote feel easy.
A budget-friendly first stepStart with one useful service page and a working contact form.
Make changes yourself, free
Every website and app I build works with AppBlips, an editor I created so you never have to wait on a developer for a small change. Fix a typo, swap a photo, or update your prices, all without touching code.
Your site arrives ready to open in AppBlips, a free app for Windows and Linux.
Click a heading, photo, or link to change it. Or type what you want, like "add our holiday hours to the homepage."
Every change is saved as a version, so you can step back with one click.

Spend where it matters
A smaller first launch is often the smart choice. We work out the job your site actually needs to do, agree on a clear scope for that, and plan anything else as a separate step once the first version is earning its keep.
A one-page site starts at $499, a small business site of up to five pages at $1,199, and a growth site with bookings, payments, or a blog at $2,499. These are starting points: your estimate covers the exact pages and features we agree on. Payment is split 50% to start and 50% at launch. Hosting and domain costs are extra and explained up front.
It depends mostly on the number of pages and how quickly the words and photos are ready. A one-page site is the quickest, while a larger site with bookings or a shop takes longer. You get a realistic timeline with your estimate, before any work starts.
Website builders suit some businesses, and I will tell you if one suits yours. A custom React site is faster, has no plugins to keep patched, looks exactly the way you want rather than like a template, and is yours to keep without a monthly builder subscription. The trade-off is that larger changes go through a developer rather than a drag-and-drop editor.
Nobody can honestly promise a top ranking, so be wary of anyone who does. What I can do is build the foundations Google looks for: fast, mobile-friendly pages, clear titles and descriptions, a sitemap, readable business details, and a properly set up Google Business Profile and Search Console.
Yes. You own the site, the code, the domain name, and every account it runs on. If you ever want to move to another developer or host, you can take everything with you.
Yes. I keep the content and pages that are working, rebuild the rest, and redirect your old links to the new pages so customers and search engines are not sent to dead ends.
You know your business best, so I start from your notes, your current site, or a conversation, and help shape it into clear page copy. Photos of your real work and team are always best. Where you do not have them, suitable stock or generated images can fill the gaps.
Growth sites include a blog or news section you can update yourself. For other changes, such as new hours, photos, or a new service, send them over and they are made quickly, or choose a monthly care plan that covers routine updates.
Yes. Everything happens by phone, email, video call, and a private preview link, so I build websites for small businesses anywhere in the United States.
A practical next step
A rough idea is enough. I'll help you work out the details.
