Ticked- Why it happens
- Customers search for what you sell, find a competitor's site first and call them.
- What I do
- I plan the pages around what your customers search for, then hand-code the site so Google can read it and it loads fast.
Web design for small businesses
A site built to

Looks fine, brings in nothing.

Web design timeline
Week by week, from kickoff to launch.
A typical build takes 4–6 weeks. One new build at a time, so your project has my full attention the whole way.
-
Plan: your goals, your customers' search terms and the job of each page
Week 1
You receive: a written plan for the site. I need: a conversation about your business, plus your services and any photos you have.
-
Homepage design for your approval, on phone and desktop
Week 2
You receive: the homepage design. I need: your feedback.
-
Design of the rest of the site
Week 3
You receive: every page design. I need: your text, or a go-ahead for me to draft it.
-
Final design approval of the whole site
Week 3
You receive: the approved design. I need: your sign-off, which also triggers the second payment.
-
Hand-coded WordPress build
Weeks 4-5
You receive: a working site you can click through before it goes live. I need: one round of feedback, gathered in one place.
-
Speed, search setup and testing on real phones
Weeks 5-6
You receive: the tested site. I need: access to your domain.
-
Check-in with you
Every week
-
Launch on your domain and a walkthrough of how to edit your site
Week 6
You receive: your live site. I need: nothing else. The final 30% is invoiced when you sign off on staging, and the site goes live once it clears.
If your text and photos arrive late, the dates move with them, and I tell you as soon as that happens. Copywriting is included, written from the company information you give me. You supply the photos, and a photo or video shoot is priced in a separate proposal.
How web design works
Four steps, and you approve the design before I build.
-
Listen.
I start with your customers: who they are, what they search for and what makes them pick up the phone. Everything after that is built on those answers.
-
Plan.
Before I draw anything, I decide what each page is for and the one action it should lead to. A page that can't name its job doesn't get built.
-
Design and build.
I show you three design directions and you pick one. You approve the design of the whole site, with two rounds of revisions, before I write any code. Then I code it by hand, so the site loads fast and stays easy to change.
-
Launch and hand over.
I test the site on real phones, launch it on your domain and show you how to edit it. The first month is when real questions show up, so I stay reachable.
Web design pricing
From $2,000 USD. Here is what moves the price.
Web design · from
$2,000 USD
Every build includes the strategy, the design, a custom theme made for you and the copywriting. You get a written proposal with the full price before any work begins. One new build at a time, and the next opening is November.
What moves the price
-
Complexity
How much logic sits behind the screen. A site that shows information is simpler than one that takes bookings, runs a members area or talks to other software.
-
Features
What visitors can do: request a proposal, book a time, pay a deposit, sign in. Each feature is designed, built and tested.
-
Content
How much content the site needs. Copywriting is included, written from the information you give me. You supply the photos, and a photo or video shoot is priced in a separate proposal.
-
Integrations
Connections to other software, such as booking, payments, email tools or a CRM. Each one is set up and tested.
How you pay 3 milestones
- Agreement signed 40% Unlocks: Discovery, architecture and design
- Final design approved (whole site) 30% Unlocks: Development
- Launch sign-off on staging 30% Unlocks: Site goes live and is handed over
No phase starts until the previous payment clears. Your site stays on staging until the final payment clears.

Web design questions
What people ask before they hire me.
Builds start at $2,000 USD. The final price depends on the complexity of your project, the features it needs, your content and your goals, and you get it in a written proposal before any work begins. See what moves the price.
You pay 40% when the agreement is signed, 30% when the design of the whole site is approved and 30% when you sign off on the finished site on staging. The site goes live and is handed over once that last payment clears. No phase starts until the previous payment clears.
Usually 4–6 weeks. The pace depends on how fast we trade content and feedback, and the timeline shows what happens each week.
I build every site so Google can read it: a clear structure, a page for each service and fast loading. Nobody can guarantee a ranking, and I do not. If you want help climbing, local SEO is the next step.
Yes. It runs on WordPress, and I show you how to update text, photos and pages when we launch. If you would rather not touch it, website maintenance takes care of updates, backups, security and speed checks.
No. Copywriting is included in every build, and I write it from the company information you give me. You supply the photos, and if you want a photo or video shoot, I price it in a separate proposal.
Yes. I work in English and Spanish, and the Spanish pages are written fresh for Spanish speakers.
If your current site needs a rebuild, website redesign is the right service. If you are not sure, the checklist above is a quick way to tell.
Two rounds at the design stage, plus one final round before launch. I present three design directions first and you pick the one to develop.
For 30 days after launch, I fix anything I built that does not work as designed, at no charge. Changes and new requests are new work, priced in a proposal.
Yes, in your own name, so you always own them. I do not sell hosting, but I can point you to what I recommend: Hostinger first, SiteGround as the alternative. Both are my referral links, and I tell you so up front.
