What we offer

Simple, flat-fee pricing.

One price. I design, build, and launch — you own the site outright. Hosting and domain are extra and I set them up for you. Hands-on work and custom changes run $30–40/hour, depending on scope and how fast it needs to go live.

Optional add-on: an AI chatbot that actually helps

Want a chatbot that can answer your customers' complex questions — not just canned FAQs? I can build one and wire it into your site. Fair warning: AI costs real money to run (you're billed per API call), so I size it to your expected volume and keep the running cost within reason. It's a one-time build fee plus usage, quoted after a quick conversation about how your customers will use it.

How it works

Live in 7 days.

  1. Tell me about it

    A 60-second form or a quick call. I reply within 24 hours and confirm scope before any work starts.

  2. I design & build

    A real, hand-built site — not a template you wrestle. Reviewed and tested the way enterprise software is.

  3. We refine

    Revision rounds are built into every tier. We don't go live until you're happy with it.

  4. You launch & own it

    The site is yours outright, plus a simple admin panel to update text and images yourself.

Who builds your site

Enterprise training. Simple websites, done right.

I'm not here to sell you a complicated system you don't need. I build clean, fast, conventional websites — and I've been building them for over a decade: the past 3 years at Oracle, and 8 years before that at IBM in Texas. Reliable, secure, fast, and done right the first time. Big-company discipline, small-business treatment, and a real person who picks up when you have a question.

FAQ

Common questions.

Why flat-fee instead of monthly?

You own your site outright — no subscriptions, no surprise renewals, no lock-in. Hosting is separate (~$5/mo on Cloudflare) and I set it up for you.

Can I edit it myself after?

Yes. You get a simple admin panel for text and image updates. For bigger changes, I'm available for hands-on support at $30–40/hour, depending on what's needed and how fast it needs to go live — senior, enterprise-trained help that reflects over a decade building websites at Oracle and IBM, not budget guesswork.

Do you build AI chatbots?

As an optional add-on, yes. Most businesses don't need one — but if you want a chatbot that answers complex questions, I'll build it and size the AI usage to your volume so the running cost stays reasonable.

What if I don't like the design?

Each tier includes revision rounds and we don't go live until you're happy. If we can't get there, you get your money back minus a small kickoff fee.

How do payments work?

Pay in full or a 50% deposit through Stripe (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay). I confirm scope by email before work starts.
