About
I'm a web designer based in Columbus, Ohio, helping local businesses look as good online as they are in person.
When you work with me you deal directly with the person designing and building your site — no account managers, no outsourcing, no jargon. I care about one thing: a website that actually brings you customers.
Let's talk about your siteFAQ
Most sites are live in 2–3 weeks. The biggest factor is how quickly I get your content (text, photos, logo). I can help write content if you're stuck.
It depends on what your business needs — a simple one-page site costs much less than an online store. Every project gets a fixed, upfront quote, so you'll know the full price before any work starts. Fill in the quote form and I'll get back to you within one business day.
Yes. Your domain, your content and your site files belong to you. If you ever want to move on, I'll hand everything over.
Most sites cost very little to run. I build on fast, low-cost hosting, so a typical site only needs a domain (about $15 a year) — or add a care plan and I'll handle hosting, renewals and updates for you. If your site needs paid tools like an online store, booking system or business email, you pay those providers directly, and I'll list every cost in your quote up front.
Yes — I can set up simple editing for things like menus, prices and photos. Or add a care plan and just send me your changes.
Every site is built with SEO basics: fast loading, proper page titles, mobile-friendliness and Google Business Profile setup. Ranking takes time, but you'll start on solid ground.
Just a quick chat. If you have a logo, photos or an existing site, great — if not, I'll guide you through it.
Yes. Standard terms are 50% to start and 50% at launch, and I can split larger projects into monthly payments.
