For local businesses

Fixed-price websites for Hampton Roads businesses, built by a local veteran.

A site that loads fast on a phone, works for every visitor, and belongs to you. Every site is tested before it launches, the same way this one is.

Standard

$2,000

Everything in the founding offer, plus help with your words.

  • Copy editing on every page
  • Google Business Profile linked and checked
  • Launch checklist done with you

Optional care plan, $99 a month: checks re-run monthly, updates kept current, and up to an hour of edits.

What "tested before launch" means

  • Fast on phones. Every page must score 90 or better on Google's Lighthouse speed test, or it doesn't launch.
  • Works for everyone. Automated checks against the WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standard, plus a person tabbing through each page with a keyboard.
  • Nothing quietly breaks. Tests load every page on a phone and a desktop before each change goes live.
  • You review before it's real. Each change gets a preview link you can open on your phone.
  • You own it. Your domain, hosting and analytics are in your name. I'm invited, and you can remove me anytime.

How it works

  1. Tell me about your business. Use the form below. I reply within two business days.
  2. A 20-minute call. What you do, who calls you, and what the site has to do.
  3. A fixed quote in writing. No hourly billing and no surprises.
  4. Build and review. You see preview links as it comes together.
  5. Launch. I hand over a one-page record of every account and setting.

Fair questions

You're a student. What happens when you graduate?
You own every account, and you get a written record of how the site is set up, so anyone can take it over. If you're on the care plan, I keep it running.
Can I change the site myself?
Small changes are an email away, and the care plan covers them. If you want to edit pages yourself, say so in your request and I'll recommend a setup that allows it.
Have you built a site like mine?
This site is built on the same template and the same checks. See the rest of my work.
