Websites for local businesses

A great website.
No build fee.

I design and build the initial website we agree on at no charge. Choose your hosting arrangement and always keep access to your code.

Initial website

$0

Design and development

  • Custom design around your business
  • Responsive on phones, tablets, and desktops
  • Maintainable code with full access
  • Launch support on your hosting or an at-cost plan

Your code stays yours

You always have access to the complete website code. Take it to another host or developer whenever you choose.

I host it for you

Pay the actual cost of the hosting service. I do not add a margin or markup. You can move your website later.

You host it yourself

Use the provider and account you prefer. You get the code needed to run the site independently, from the start.

After launch

$100 / hour

Billed by the minute.

Additional work beyond the agreed initial website and long-term support are charged for time used, with no rounded-up minimum.

How billing works

Time, tracking, and AI-assisted work.

What you pay for

Additional work beyond the agreed initial website and long-term support are charged at $100 per hour, calculated by the minute. A three-minute task costs $5. The agreed initial website is still free.

How I track time

I track only the time I’m actively working on your project, by the minute. Bathroom breaks, making coffee or tea, distractions, and any other time away from the work are left out of your bill.

AI usage and billing

I use AI as part of my workflow. Time I spend actively directing the work, reviewing the output, making changes, and testing is billable. When AI is working and I’m not, that time is not billable. You pay for my actual work, not the time a task might have taken without AI.

For example: 15 minutes of active work plus 30 minutes of unattended AI time means 15 billable minutes. Your cost is $25.

Your price stays the same.

I provide a quote before additional work begins. Once approved, that price is guaranteed for the quoted work. If the scope changes, I’ll get your approval on a new quote before doing the additional work.
