Web design for
small businesses
I build websites by hand for small businesses, with no templates, no page builders, and no big bill up front. Plans start at $100 a month.
Why work with me
A small business site needs to load fast, show up on Google, and make it easy to call or email you. Quotes for that usually start in the thousands. I spread the cost out over a monthly plan and stay on to keep the site working. Here's what you get:
Built for phones first
Most of your visitors will be on a phone, so I design the phone layout first and work up to tablet and desktop from there. Nothing gets squeezed or cut off on a small screen.
Fast pages
Every site I build scores 95 to 100 on Google PageSpeed. Fast pages keep people from giving up and hitting the back button, and Google ranks them higher too.
Set up for search
Clear page titles and descriptions, a clean page structure, and fast load times. These are the parts of SEO I control, and they're done right from day one.
Usable by everyone
Proper labels, keyboard navigation, and readable color contrast, so people who use a screen reader or can't use a mouse can still find their way around your site.
Support after launch
I keep your site updated and running after it goes live. If something breaks or you want a change, you text me and I take care of it. You don't need to learn any software.
Hand-coded
I write every site from scratch. There's no template underneath, so nothing extra slows it down, and your site won't look like a hundred others built on the same theme.
Affordable websites
for small businesses
For $100 a month you get 5 pages, the design, the build, and hosting. Extra pages are $100 each. The first contract is 6 months, then it goes month to month. You deal with me the whole time, and if you don't like the design, you get your money back before I start building.
$0 down, $100/mo
Nothing up front. $100 a month covers hosting, maintenance, updates, and edits, with no surprise bills.
Secure by default
No WordPress plugins or page builder to patch, which removes the most common way small sites get hacked.
You talk to me
Text or email me and you reach the person who built your site. No support tickets, no account manager.
Money-back guarantee
If you don't like the design, I'll refund you. The guarantee runs until you approve the design and I start building.
Recent work
A few sites and designs for small businesses, so you can see how I lay out a site before you call.
Tim Lewis Construction
I rebuilt their site to load faster, with a page for each service and a simple gallery of past projects.
Flooring sample
Services, a gallery of past jobs, and customer reviews, with a free quote button in the menu.
Chiropractor sample
Services, a page for new patients, and reviews, with Book appointment and Call today buttons.
Why speed, accessibility, and SEO matter
Page speed
People leave slow sites before they finish loading, and Google ranks slow sites lower, so a slow site loses visitors twice.
Accessibility
Some of your customers use a screen reader, a keyboard instead of a mouse, or zoom to read. An accessible site works for them, and Google rewards a lot of the same work.
SEO
When someone searches for what you do in your town, SEO decides whether they find you or a competitor.
