01

Your first small-business website

A home beyond social media. We agree on the pages, content and contact route, then bring it together.

What to prepare for your first website

A rough outline is enough to start. You can bring:

  • Your services and area. List what you do, where you work, and the questions customers ask most often.
  • Content you can use. Gather your business name, service descriptions, logo and photos you own or have permission to publish. Note anything still missing.
  • A contact choice. Decide whether visitors should call, email or request a quote, and which details you want public.
  • Domain and hosting details. If you already have a domain or hosting plan, share the provider name. Otherwise, we can discuss the options and separate costs.

No passwords or private files are needed for the first conversation.

02

Website redesign and improvements

Keep what works. Improve the content, design or phone experience that needs attention.

Improve my existing site
Illustrative demo, not a client result.

Crowded text. A hard-to-reach next step.

03

A checked visitor path

Agreed links, contact and page flow reviewed on phones and larger screens, including keyboard use and accessibility.

04

A usable handoff

Agreed revisions, launch checks and a concise update guide. Hosting, domain costs and ongoing support are agreed separately.

An original layout study

The page,
in the making.

Give the idea room.

A clear headline, a distinctive image, and room to take it in.

Discuss your website

03 / From idea to open for business

Shape it.Build it.Make it work.

  1. 01

    Start with the goal.

    Share your audience, public site if you have one, approximate budget and timing. A rough outline is enough.

  2. 02

    Agree on the work.

    Pages, content, deliverables, price, payment, revisions and acceptance criteria. Builds are quoted after review.

  3. 03

    Review. Refine. Launch.

    Use the working preview, check the visitor path, then approve publication. Finish with a concise handoff.

Only need one thing fixed?

One focused
website repair.

A mobile layout, a contact path, or one page section that needs finishing. Share the public page and the problem you can reproduce.

I’ll review technical fit and the access needed before proposing a contained scope.

$250 proposed fixed scope

For one agreed visitor path or page section, including before-and-after checks, one revision within the agreed scope, and a short handoff. A first website or wider redesign needs its own quote.

Subject to review and agreement on scope, price, timing, acceptance and payment.

Ask about a focused fix
Scope and agreement details

Final scope, price, timing, acceptance criteria, and payment arrangements require agreement after review. We agree on the phone or browser conditions to check, supplied-content rights, and permitted access. You review the result against those criteria.

Extra pages, new functionality, hosting, domain costs, and ongoing support are scoped separately.

A few practical questions

Before
we start.

Can I start without an existing website?

Yes. Share what your business does, who you serve, and how people should contact you. A website address is optional for a first-site inquiry.

How much does a website or redesign cost?

First websites and wider redesigns receive a custom quote after review. We agree on pages, content, revisions, timing, and payment before work begins.

Are hosting and ongoing support included?

Hosting, domain costs, and ongoing support are agreed separately. The project scope will say what is included before work begins.

What should I send with an inquiry?

Share your goal, approximate budget, and timing. For an existing site, add its public URL and the problem you want reviewed. No passwords or private files are needed.

04 / Start a conversation

What should
your website do?

Share the goal or the problem. I’ll review fit and scope before we agree to work.

$250 proposed fixed scope for one agreed visitor path or page section. Final scope, price, timing, acceptance criteria, and payment arrangements require agreement after review. See what’s included. Start with a public page and the problem.

Build a draft, review it, then send from your email app. Nothing is sent by this page.

A bare domain or an http:// or https:// page is fine. This form checks the format; it does not open or verify the site.

Add details you know (optional)

Budget and timing are starting points, not a quote or delivery promise. No public page yet? Choose “Help defining the scope” and describe the issue.

This page does not submit or save your answers. Answers and edited emails stay in this tab’s page memory while you change types or go back to your answers. Reloading or closing the tab clears them; leaving the page may also clear them. Don’t include passwords or private records.
