Beyond a standard site
Bigger builds are quoted individually
The prices above cover marketing and business websites. These take real scoping, so they get a real quote.
E-Commerce
Product catalogues, carts, and payment processing. Priced on how many products you carry and how much of the checkout needs to be custom.
Web Applications
Dashboards, calculators, booking systems, and internal tools with real logic behind them — the kind of thing a website can't do on its own.
Custom Software
Desktop applications, automation scripts, and bespoke tools built to solve one specific problem in your business.
Integrations
Connecting your site to the systems you already use, or automating a process you are currently doing by hand.
Questions
Straight answers
Do I own my website?
Either way, yes. With the one-time build the finished files are yours to keep from day one, and you can host them anywhere you like.
On the monthly plan the site stays hosted and maintained by me while you are on it, and after six months of payments it is yours outright. From there it is your call: I can hand over the files and you take it elsewhere, or you can carry on hosting with me. At the starting prices those six months come to the same total as the one-time build, so you end up in the same place either way — you have just spread the cost out to get there.
What counts as a "small content edit"?
Swapping text, replacing a photo, updating your hours, changing a price — the kind of change that takes minutes, not a rebuild. New pages and new features are quoted separately so you're never surprised by an invoice.
How long does a project take?
A standard business site is usually one to two weeks from the point where I have your content and a clear picture of what you need. Bigger applications depend entirely on scope, and I'll give you a timeline with the quote.
Are there setup fees or hidden costs?
No setup fee. On the monthly plan your domain is included. On a one-time build the domain is yours to register in your own name, usually about $10–15 a year. Anything else that would cost money gets raised before the work starts, not after.
Do I have to be local?
No. Everything is done remotely, and it works the same whether you're down the road or across the country.
Why is this cheaper than the quotes I've been getting?
Because there's no agency around it. No account managers, no sales team, no office — one developer with low overhead, still building out a portfolio. The startup pricing is a real discount and it's locked for six months.
