With a conversation, not a contract. You tell me what the business does and what the site needs to accomplish, I look at whatever you already have, and you get a fixed quote before any work begins. What I quote is what you pay.
Between $500 and $5,000, with most small-business sites landing around $1,000. The care plan is $50 a month and covers hosting, monitoring, backups and updates. No retainers, no surprise line items.
A focused small-business site takes two to three weeks. Larger builds with more pages or a migration run four to six. The slow part is usually gathering copy and photos, so the sooner you have those, the sooner you launch.
No. Every site is written by hand in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Nothing loads that does not earn its place, which is why these pages score 98 to 100 on PageSpeed instead of the 40s a plugin stack usually manages.
Not if the migration is done properly. Every existing URL gets mapped and redirected, the structure and schema get rebuilt, and rankings usually improve because the new site loads faster and reads more clearly to search engines and AI answers alike.
You do. The domain stays in your name, and the files are yours to take anywhere. The care plan is a convenience, not a lock-in, so leaving does not mean losing the site.
Most clients would rather text me a change than log into a dashboard, and the care plan includes thirty minutes of updates a month for exactly that. If you want to edit content yourself, say so up front and I will build the parts you plan to change so they are editable.
More people now ask an assistant instead of scrolling results, and assistants quote pages that state things plainly. That means direct answers, real specifics, and machine-readable facts about the business rather than marketing filler.
The studio is in Sarasota and a good share of the work is local, but the process runs fine remotely. If you are anywhere in the country and want a site built by one person who answers the phone, that works.
