What I build, and what it costs
Websites and web apps for small businesses and nonprofits. The $500 site is a fixed price; the rest are starting points. After a short call you get a fixed price in writing.

All the terms for the $500 siteWeb app: booking and payments

Care plan

For starter sites and web apps: hosting, backups and updates, plus up to 1 hour a month of small edits (text, photos, hours, a new staff bio). Unused time doesn’t roll over. If something breaks, I fix it within 2 business days. Bigger changes get a quote first.

How a project runs
Intro call
Twenty minutes. You tell me what the business needs; I tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit.
Plan and price
A short written plan with the pages, features and a fixed price. Nothing starts until you agree.
Build
I build it and you see real progress along the way, on your own phone, not in mockups.
Launch and care
We go live together. After that, the care plan keeps it running, or you take it from there.
Questions
- Do I own the website?
- Yes. Your domain, your content and your finished site are yours. If you ever leave, you take all of it with you. If your site is built on a licensed design template, the licence comes with it, and I walk you through what it allows.
- How long does it take?
- A one- or two-page site is usually live in about 7 days once I have your photos and details. Starter sites are usually live in 3 to 4 weeks. A web app depends on what it needs to do; the written plan gives you a date before we start.
- How do I pay?
- Starter sites and web apps: 50% to start, 50% at launch. The $500 site: $250 to start, $250 when you approve it, before it goes live. Third-party costs like your domain or hosting are billed to you directly, with no markup.
- What’s the difference between the $500 site and the $1,500 site?
- The $500 site is one or two pages, built from what your business already has public, plus your Google Business Profile. The $1,500 starter site is a fuller site with more pages, for when you have more services, a gallery or a blog to show. If you start at $500 and move up within 6 months, the full $500 counts toward the starter site.
- What do I need to bring?
- Your logo if you have one, photos, and a rough idea of what you want people to do on the site. I help with the words.
- Can you fix the site I already have?
- Often, yes. Fixes and small updates are $75 an hour with a 2-hour minimum (1 hour for $500-site clients). If a rebuild makes more sense, I’ll say so and quote it first.
- What does the care plan cover?
- For starter sites and web apps ($150 a month): hosting, backups, updates and up to an hour a month of small edits. For a one- or two-page site ($35 a month, cancel any time): uptime checks and up to 30 minutes a month of small edits. Either way, unused time doesn’t roll over and if something breaks, I fix it within 2 business days. Bigger changes get a quote before any work starts.
