Websites

Fast, responsive, hand-coded marketing sites — launched in days, not months, and built to turn visitors into customers.

Your website is usually the first thing a customer sees, and a slow or clunky one costs you business before you ever hear from them. I hand-code every site on a modern stack (Next.js and React) instead of stacking plugins on a bloated template — so it loads fast, works on every phone, and reads clearly on Google. You work directly with me, the developer building it, and most sites launch in days rather than the months a typical agency quotes.

What's included

Hand-coded, not templated

Every page is built from scratch on Next.js and React — no page-builder bloat, no theme you'll share with a thousand other sites. Just clean, lean code that does exactly what your business needs and nothing it doesn't.

Fast by default

Speed isn't an afterthought here — it's the whole point. My sites regularly score near-perfect on Google Lighthouse, and this very page is the proof. A faster site keeps visitors around and ranks better.

Responsive and mobile-first

Most of your traffic is on a phone, so that's where I start. Your site will look sharp and work smoothly on everything from a small phone to a wide desktop — no pinching, no broken layouts.

Built to convert

A pretty site that doesn't get you calls, bookings, or orders is just decoration. I structure every page around one goal — getting the visitor to act — with clear calls to action and a path that leads them there.

Search-ready from day one

Clean semantic markup, fast load times, sensible metadata, and a proper sitemap — the technical groundwork that helps Google understand and rank your site, handled without you having to think about it.

Launched in days

Once I have your content and a clear goal, a typical marketing site goes from kickoff to live in days, not months. And you don't pay in full until you've seen and approved the design.

Questions

How fast can my site actually go live?+
Most marketing sites launch in days, not months. Once I have your content and we're clear on the goal, a straightforward multi-page site typically goes from kickoff to live within a week. More complex sites take a little longer, but you'll get a realistic timeline up front — no vague estimates that slip for months.
Do you have examples I can look at?+
Yes — I've built a handful of concept sites for common small-business types: a neighborhood restaurant, a fitness studio, an independent shop, a photographer, and a writer. They're my own builds, not paid client work, and I share them to show exactly how I'd approach a site like yours. Each one is fast, responsive, and scores near-perfect on performance.
What do you need from me to get started?+
Mainly your content and a clear idea of what you want the site to do — get more bookings, take orders, showcase your work, drive calls. If your text and photos aren't ready, that's fine; we'll sort out what's needed together. I reply the same day, usually within the hour, so getting started is quick.
Why hand-coded instead of WordPress or a template?+
Templates and page builders pile on code you'll never use, which slows the site down and makes it fragile. Hand-coding on Next.js means your site loads fast, stays secure, and does exactly what it needs to — nothing more. The speed you're seeing on this page is the direct result, and yours will feel the same.
How much does a custom website cost?+
It depends on the size and features of the site, so I quote each project individually rather than posting a one-size-fits-all price. Send me a quick note about your business through the contact form and I'll get you a free, no-obligation quote — same day. And you don't pay in full until you've approved the design.
