I design and build your website for a fixed price, and it's yours from day one: the domain, the content and every account. When your work needs more than a website, I build custom software too.

Who I build for
Nonprofits
Pages for your programs and events, with your donate button linked to the donation service you already use. Several staff can edit, each with their own login, and every account is in your organization's name from day one.
Small businesses
Up to five pages that say what you do, where you are and how to reach you, with tap-to-call on phones. Add the care plan, and I'll make changes when you ask.
One person, from the first call to every update after.
A fixed price, agreed before any work starts: 50% to begin, 25% when the design is approved, 25% at launch.
- Design and build
Designed around your business
I write the pages from what you send me and design them around your colors, fonts and photos. You review them and ask for changes.
- Launch
Live on your domain
Everything is set up in your name: hosting, editing, analytics, page titles and a sitemap. Every site launches with a mobile speed score of 95 or higher on Google’s test.
- After launch
Changed when you need it
Make a change yourself and it's live in about a minute. Or add the care plan, and I'll make it for you.
Test this page yourself
PageSpeed Insights is Google's free speed and quality test. Run it on this page, then on your own site to compare.
- Open PageSpeed Insights (pagespeed.web.dev).
- Paste a website's address and click Analyze.
- Check the Mobile tab: 90 and up is green, below 50 is red.
This page's mobile scores. They can vary by a few points between runs.

Custom software for the way your team already works
I'm a full-stack engineer, so I build more than websites. If your team retypes the same information into several tools, or runs a process from a shared spreadsheet, I can connect the software you already use or build a tool made for that job. And if your business wants to sell software of its own, like an app your customers sign in to, I can build that too.
- Connect your tools. Form entries go straight into your CRM or mailing list, so nobody copies them by hand.
- Track requests in one place. An internal tool for requests, applications or bookings that shows who has each one and where it stands.
- Replace a spreadsheet process. A tool with the right fields, permissions and history, in place of a shared spreadsheet.
- See your numbers together. A dashboard that pulls donations, sign-ups or orders from the tools you already use.
Connecting two tools starts at $1,500; custom tools and software products start at $5,000. Every project starts with a free call, then a written proposal with a fixed price for a first version. The proposal also says who hosts it, what it costs to run and who maintains it. If I need to look at your systems before I can quote, we agree on that first.
Common questions
Anything else, ask me when you get in touch.
Do I pay anything up front?
Yes, 50% to begin. The rest is 25% when you approve the design and 25% at launch. There's no monthly fee unless you add the care plan.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. Change text, photos, hours or prices in the editor and it's live in about a minute. Or add the care plan, and I'll make changes for you.
What do I need to provide?
Your logo and photos, plus whatever you know about your organization: notes, an old website, a flyer or a menu. I write it into clear pages. Photos aren't included in any package.
Can you work on software you didn't build?
Often, yes. I look at the system first and tell you whether I can help and what the work involves. If that takes real investigation, we agree on it before I start.
Can you build a software product for my business?
Yes, when there's a business and a budget behind it. Custom tools and software products start at $5,000, with a written proposal and a fixed price for a first version.
Do you work outside my area?
Yes. I work remotely, by phone and video.
Who owns the site?
You do, from day one: the domain, the content, the design, the code and every account behind it. If we stop working together, nothing has to be moved or bought back.
Tell me what you need.
A short call about your website, or the software your team works around. I'll tell you which option fits.
