Most small business sites are slow, unclear, and built to look impressive to the owner rather than to convert a stranger with a problem. Yours will load in under two seconds, say what you do in the first line, and make calling you the obvious next action.
An eight-second load on mobile loses most visitors before they see anything. Usually one uncompressed hero image and a decade of unused plugins.
Someone with a burst pipe wants one thing. If calling takes more than one tap, you've lost the job to whoever made it easier.
Nearly all local service searches happen on a phone. A site designed on a 27-inch monitor and shrunk down is a different, worse product.
No service-area pages, no schema markup, no connection to the Google profile. The site and the listing should reinforce each other.
Not upsells. This is the baseline, because a site without them doesn't work.
Compressed images, WebP, lazy loading, minimal scripts. Speed is measured, not promised.
Designed on a phone screen first, then expanded. Sticky tap-to-call bar on every page.
Schema markup, proper title tags, service-area structure, and wired to your Google profile.
Goes to your inbox and your WhatsApp. Tested before launch, because most contact forms silently fail.
Configured properly on your hosting, HTTPS enforced, backups explained. No monthly lock-in to me.
Either, or both with correct RTL layout. Not machine-translated — actually written.
Fixed price, agreed before I start. If the scope changes mid-project I tell you what it costs before doing it, never after.
A credible presence, live in about a week.
Built to rank and convert, not just to exist.
Online store, booking system, or something bespoke.
50% to start, 50% on launch. You own everything — code, domain, hosting account.
A new site is worth far more with the Google profile fixed at the same time — the two reinforce each other, and it's the same research either way. Take any website package with a Local SEO retainer and the first two months of the retainer are free.
Twenty minutes. What you do, who calls you, what the site has to achieve. I write it down and price it. Nothing starts until you agree the number.
I map the pages and write the words before designing anything. Most bad sites are bad because this step was skipped.
You see it on a real URL as it takes shape, not as flat mockups. Feedback as we go rather than one big reveal at the end.
Speed tested on a real phone on mobile data. Forms tested. Then it goes live and I stay available for 30 days.
Starter about a week. Business two to three weeks. E-commerce four to six. The variable is almost always how fast you get me photos and content, not the build.
You own everything — the code, the domain, the hosting account. It's in your name from day one. If you want to move to someone else later, nothing stops you.
You pay your host directly, usually $3-10 a month on shared hosting. I don't resell hosting or take a margin on it.
Often yes, and it's usually cheaper. Send me the URL and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth fixing or worth replacing.
Depends on whether you need to edit it yourself. WordPress if you'll be updating content regularly, hand-built if you want maximum speed and won't touch it. I'll recommend based on your answer, not on what's easier for me.
That's what the revision rounds are for, and why you see it on a real URL as it's built rather than at the end. If we're fundamentally misaligned after the first design pass, you can walk away and keep the deposit work.
Send me what you need and I'll come back within 24 hours with an honest answer on scope, price and timeline — including whether you actually need a new site or just fixes to the current one.
