Every Package
What's Included in Every Package
These aren't upsells. Every site I build gets these by default.
Custom Code
Hand-written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or any page builder.
Mobile-First Design
Your site works perfectly on phones, tablets, and desktops. Most of your visitors are on mobile.
SEO Foundation
Every page gets a proper title tag, meta description, heading structure, and image alt text.
Fast Load Times
No bloated plugins or theme overhead. Custom code loads faster — which matters for both users and Google.
HTTPS Security
Every site is delivered with SSL setup instructions. Secure by default.
You Own It
When the project is done, the code is yours. No licensing fees, no platform lock-in, ever.
Optional Add-On
Optional Monthly Maintenance — $75/mo
For businesses that want someone to handle the small stuff so they don't have to. Cancel any time — no contracts.

Worth Knowing
Why Custom Code Beats Templates
for Local Businesses
The performance gap is measurable. According to Google's Core Web Vitals data, pages built on drag-and-drop platforms average a 3.2s Largest Contentful Paint compared to under 1.5s for lean custom-coded sites — a difference that directly affects both Google rankings and whether visitors stay. For local businesses specifically, that speed matters: BrightLocal's Local Consumer Review Survey found that 76% of people who search for a local business on their phone visit that business within 24 hours. A slow or outdated site is the last thing standing between that search and a customer walking in.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Pricing
Website builders like Wix and Squarespace charge monthly fees that add up fast — often $200 to $400 per year, indefinitely. A custom-coded site is a one-time cost with no recurring platform fees. Over three years, the custom site is usually cheaper, and it performs significantly better.
Most Starter and Standard projects are completed within 1 to 2 weeks after I have all the content from you. Premium projects with more pages and features typically take 2 to 4 weeks. The timeline depends mostly on how quickly we can go back and forth on revisions.
Yes. When the project is delivered, you own the code outright. There are no ongoing platform fees or licensing costs attached to my work. You can host it anywhere you want.
The retainer covers minor content updates (changing hours, adding photos, updating text), monthly uptime monitoring, broken link scans, and basic load time checks. It also gives you priority response time if something needs fixing. It's completely optional and can be cancelled any time.
Yes, you provide the text and any photos you want on the site. I can help you structure the copy and give feedback, but the content should come from you. You know your business, your customers, and your services better than I do.
Absolutely. If you start with a Starter site and want to add pages or features later, I can quote the additions separately. Because everything is custom-coded, it's straightforward to expand without starting over.
