I design and build custom websites for local businesses, then host and maintain them on a monthly basis. The upfront cost is low — a small deposit to get started, then a flat monthly rate that covers everything.
Every site is researched and built specifically for that business. No templates, no generic layouts. I spend time understanding what makes the business worth visiting before I write a line of code.
Before building anything, I study the business — the existing site, the competition, the reviews, what makes this place genuinely different. I'm looking for the story that the current site isn't telling.
The first draft is ready before the first conversation. Two design directions built around the specific business — not a wireframe or mockup, a real working site. This is the demo you're looking at now if you received a link from me.
You tell me what's right and what isn't. Copy, photos, structure, anything. Most sites reach a final version in one or two rounds of feedback.
Domain, hosting, SSL, redirects. Your existing booking tools, reservation systems, or third-party widgets stay exactly as they are — I build around them.
Need to update your hours, swap a photo, add a page? Email me. Updates, maintenance, and an annual design refresh are part of the monthly fee.
A comparable agency project typically runs $5,000–10,000 upfront. My model is a small deposit to get started, then a monthly rate. All plans are month-to-month after the deposit period.
All sites include a simple content management setup so you can make basic text and image updates yourself — without touching code and without using your monthly hours.
Deposit to start = 2 months of your chosen plan — Foundation $500 · Active $650 · Growth $800. This covers months one and two. Monthly billing begins in month three.
After year one, all plans include the option to step down to $99/month — hosting and monitoring only, no included update hours. Once the site is built and stable, you maintain it yourself and only pay for what you need.
Need more hours than your plan includes? Additional work beyond your monthly allocation is available — just reach out and we'll figure out what makes sense based on the scope.
I'm a professional designer with about 10 years of experience. Most recently I spent four years as the lead web designer at Zoom.com. Before that I ran a small design and marketing agency. I'm currently building an AI startup called Floma.
I started doing this because I kept running into local businesses with genuinely great operations and subpar websites — places that deserved better. The AI tools available now let me do this kind of work much faster and at a much lower cost than was possible a few years ago. That's what makes the pricing model work.
I'm based in Denver. I'm not an agency. It's just me.
We walk through the demo together — what's working, what isn't, what the business actually needs. No agenda beyond making sure we're aligned before any money changes hands.
If you want to move forward, I send an invoice for the deposit — two months of your chosen plan. Work starts once it's paid.
I take everything from our conversation and build the complete site — not just the homepage, but the full structure we mapped out. This is where the demo becomes a real website.
You review the full build and give me your final notes. One consolidated round of revisions, then we launch. After that, updates are handled through your monthly hours.
You can cancel anytime after the deposit period. If you cancel before 12 months, I'll transfer all your content — copy, images, and any assets — so nothing is lost. After 12 months, I'll package and transfer the full site files. Either way, your content is always yours.
No. Whatever you're using stays exactly as it is. I build around it.
The demo is already built before we talk. Most sites are live within two to three weeks of starting, depending on how quickly feedback comes in.
Anything — copy changes, new photos, updated pricing, new pages, seasonal content. Hours roll over for up to two months so they accumulate for bigger updates when you need them.
A fully built, working homepage with two design directions you can toggle between — not a mockup or a template with your logo dropped in. Built after researching your business specifically.
Generally yes, as long as it's a local owner-operated business with something worth showing. I've focused on small businesses in Colorado to start.
If you'd like to move forward, just reply to my email and we'll set up a time to talk.
