Sound familiar?
If your website feels like more work than it should, you're not alone.
You can't change it yourself
Updating your hours or a price means emailing someone and waiting, so the site slowly drifts out of date.
You're paying for things you don't use
Monthly plugins, themes and add-ons for features you never asked for, and each one is another thing that can break.
It doesn't fit how you work
A template built for every business at once, so you end up working around your own website.
It's slow on a phone
Most of your customers find you on their phone, and every second they wait, some of them leave.
A recent project
Karin's sewing shop, now on a site she owns.
Karin sews every piece by hand, in small batches. The big shop platforms felt bloated for a business her size, and the store never really felt like hers.
So I built her a small, fast storefront with one screen for her whole inventory. When an order is paid, stock updates by itself, so she never sells something that's already gone.
Since launch, sales are up 27%, and she updates her products herself in a couple of minutes.
“I’d tried the big shop platforms and always felt like I was renting someone else’s store. Jason built me a site that’s actually mine, and I can update every product and stock count myself in a couple of minutes. Since launch, I spend less time fighting the website and more time sewing.”
Working together
Here's what working together looks like.
Most sites take four to six weeks from our first call to launch.
-
We talk
A relaxed call about your business, your customers and what the site needs to do. Afterwards you get a fixed quote in writing, or an honest no.
-
You see it take shape
I design and build it, and you review it as it comes together, so there are no surprises at the end.
-
You get the keys
The site goes live in your name, with an admin panel made for your business and a recorded walkthrough of how to use it.
-
I'm still around
Questions, changes, new ideas: you reach the same person who built it, and hear back within one business day.
You run it
Change your prices, photos and hours yourself.
Every site comes with an editing screen built around your business: products and stock for a shop, a menu for a café, bookings for a service. Nothing you don't need.
A bit about me
Hi, I'm Jason.
I've been designing and building websites for more than ten years, most of that time for agencies and companies. Now I work independently, so the person you talk to is the person who builds your site.
I work remotely and travel often, and when I'm not working I'm usually on a bike. I like clean code, fast pages and honest answers, including "that's not the right fit."
What it costs
Clear prices, agreed before anything starts.
Most small-business sites land between $2,900 and $6,800, depending on what the site needs to do. You get a fixed quote in writing before any work begins, so the invoice matches the estimate.
From the journal
- 9 questions to ask before you hire someone to build your website Proposals all sound good and prices vary wildly. These are the questions I'd ask if I were hiring, and what a clear answer sounds like.
- Why every site I build comes with its own admin panel Most small-business sites are finished the day they launch, then slowly drift out of date. Here's why I build a simple, made-to-fit admin panel into every project.
Tell me about your business.
What you sell, who your customers are, and what's not working. I read every message myself and reply within one business day.
