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.
For most small business sites, I recommend Vercel (for static sites) or a managed provider like Hostinger or SiteGround for traditional server environments.
My process:
You can either: set up the hosting account yourself and provide me access, or I can recommend the right plan and guide you through signup. I do not resell hosting — this keeps costs transparent and ensures you own your account outright.
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 | Hourly rate for updates as needed |
| Monthly retainer | Priority support, regular backups, security updates, minor content changes |
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.
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. Because you purchased your own domain and hosting, and I use standard, widely-supported technologies, any qualified developer can pick up where I left off.
I provide clean, well-documented code and can hand off all files, credentials, and documentation upon request.
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.
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.
