What’s included

Custom Design

I design your site around your business and your customers — not squeezed into a theme that looks like everyone else's.

Fast & Mobile-First

Most Richmond customers will find you on their phone. Your site loads fast and works flawlessly on every screen size.

Built to Rank

Clean code, clear page structure, and on-page SEO built in from day one — not added later.

Conversion-Focused

Clear calls to action, click-to-call buttons, and simple forms that make it easy for customers to reach you.

You Own Everything

Your domain, your hosting, your code. No proprietary platform holding your website hostage.

Easy to Update

Need a menu change or new photos? I can turn it around quickly, or show you how to do it yourself.

Why it matters

The straightforward version

Your website is usually the first impression a potential customer gets of your business. Before they call, visit, or book, they look you up — and they decide in seconds whether you seem legitimate, professional, and worth their money.

I build websites for Richmond-area businesses that do three jobs: look credible, load fast, and make it easy to become a customer. That means real design work (not a template), performance that satisfies both visitors and Google, and a structure that search engines understand.

Every project starts with a conversation about your business — who your customers are, what they search for, and what you want them to do when they land on your site. Then you get a fixed quote and a timeline. Most sites launch in 2–4 weeks.

The Details

What you get, in plain terms

Every website design and development project includes the same core deliverables: a custom design reviewed with you before a line of code is written, a hand-built site with no page-builder bloat, on-page SEO fundamentals (titles, meta descriptions, schema markup, image optimization, sitemap), mobile testing on real devices, contact forms wired to your inbox, analytics so you can see your visitors, and a launch checklist that covers domain, hosting, and Google indexing.

Performance is part of the build, not an afterthought. Most sites I build load in under two seconds on a phone. That matters twice: slow sites lose visitors before the page renders, and Google uses page speed as a ranking signal. Template builders like Wix and Squarespace ship megabytes of code your site never uses — hand-built sites simply don’t carry that weight.

After launch, you choose: take the keys and run it yourself (everything is in your name, and I’ll show you how), or have me handle updates and improvements on a monthly plan. There's no lock-in either way.
