Everything you need to know before we build your site.
I recommend purchasing your domain through Porkbun or Namecheap — both are affordable, user-friendly, and give you full ownership.
My recommendation: Buy it yourself so you retain complete ownership. You'll just need to point the domain's DNS records to the hosting server I provide during setup.
Need help? I can walk you through the purchase step-by-step, or if you prefer, you can share your login credentials securely and I can handle it on your behalf.
I offer fully managed hosting for $25/month. Your site runs on fast, modern infrastructure, and I handle everything: deployment, the SSL certificate (the HTTPS padlock), security, and renewals. You never touch a control panel.
Even better: managed hosting is included at no extra charge with the Maintenance & Updates plan (starting at $75/month), along with security updates, routine content changes, and priority support.
Prefer your own account? No problem — I'll deploy your site to a hosting account you own and walk you through the setup. Either way, you always own your domain and your site's files, so you're never locked in.
One note: website hosting doesn't include email. If you'd like a professional address (you@yourbusiness.com), I can set that up separately for you.
50% upfront, 50% upon completion.
| Milestone | Payment | When |
|---|---|---|
| Project kickoff | 50% deposit | Before work begins |
| Site launch | 50% final payment | Upon your approval |
Payment method: PayPal (invoiced to your email)
What "completion" means: The site is live, all agreed-upon features are functional, and you've signed off on the final review. Minor tweaks (font changes, copy edits) within 30 days of launch are included at no extra charge.
Typical timeline: 2–6 weeks depending on project scope.
The clock starts once I receive your deposit, content, and brand assets. Delays in providing feedback or content will extend the timeline.
To keep things moving smoothly, I'll need:
Don't have everything ready? No problem — I can work with placeholder content and refine together, or I offer copywriting assistance as an add-on service.
Absolutely. Every site I build is fully responsive, meaning it automatically adapts to look great on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
I test across common screen sizes and browsers before launch. Mobile-first design is standard — not an upsell.
I handle content updates for you, so you can focus on running your business rather than learning web tools. For minor changes — text edits, swapping images, adding blog posts — I offer two flexible options:
If your site grows to need frequent updates, we can always revisit adding editable sections or a CMS later. For now, I've got you covered.
Yes. I offer flexible maintenance options:
| Plan | What's Included |
|---|---|
| Pay-as-you-go | Updates billed at $75/hour as needed |
| Managed Hosting ($25/month) | Hosting, SSL security, and renewals handled for you |
| Maintenance & Updates Plan (from $75/month) | Managed hosting, security updates, routine content changes, priority support |
I also provide a 30-day warranty after launch for any bugs or issues related to the original build.
Minor tweaks are included. For the first 30 days after launch, small adjustments (text edits, image swaps, color tweaks) are covered at no charge.
Larger changes or new features (adding pages, new functionality, redesigns) are quoted separately or billed at my hourly rate ($75/hour).
I specialize in React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern CSS — the same technologies used by companies like Netflix, Stripe, and Vercel.
This means your site will be:
I don't use restrictive page-builder platforms that lock you into monthly subscriptions or limit customization.
You own everything. Your domain, your content, and every line of code — whether your site is on my managed hosting or your own account. Because I use standard, widely-supported technologies, any qualified developer can pick up where I left off, and you can move your site to any host at any time. No lock-in, ever.
We iterate together. Before I write any code, I create a design mockup for your review and approval. This is the time to share honest feedback — major changes are much easier (and cheaper) at the design stage than after development.
I include 2 rounds of revisions in my base pricing. Additional revision rounds are billed at my hourly rate ($75/hour).
Yes. I can integrate secure payment processing (Stripe, PayPal) for product sales, service bookings, donation collection, or membership subscriptions.
E-commerce projects require additional planning for product catalogs, inventory, shipping, and tax considerations — we'll discuss these during our initial consultation.
Yes. Every site I build includes technical SEO best practices:
For ongoing SEO strategy (keyword research, content optimization, link building), I can recommend trusted specialists or handle basic on-page SEO as an add-on.
