Small Business Websites
Do you have a small business with tech needs? I’m here to build reliable, owner-editable websites for your brand.
I build websites for small businesses so they can display their work, sell merchandise, and advertise their brick and mortar locations.
Built by a Human, not AI: Handcrafted with clean WordPress architecture and custom code. No generic AI templates or messy codebases.
Complete Creative Control: Built natively using the WordPress Gutenberg block editor. You can easily update your text, swap images, or add new content without needing a developer or breaking the site.
Optional Maintenance: Focus entirely on your craft and let a professional handle the infrastructure with an optional, low-cost monthly support retainer.
FAQ
As a web developer, I usually build sites with WordPress as it’s open-source, cost-effective, and allows you to make changes to the site without a developer’s help. WordPress is a CMS or Content Management System. It allows you to upload photos, change site content, and more without having to add code. I’m open to working with other website builder platforms, but they may cost more as they usually require subscriptions.
The main downside of website builders like Wix and Squarespace is that they lock you into subscriptions that you can’t get out of without losing your website. WordPress is open-source and exists as code that is deployed to hosting, meaning you own your website and its code.
As a professional developer, I’ll be your trusted partner through the process of designing, developing, and deploying your website. I have industry experience with web development languages like HTML, CSS, Javascript, Typescript, and PHP and can customize your site from the ground up.
Typically, a website is built in 4 phases:
- Discovery – Initial communication to determine website needs and design ideas
- Design – Prototyping your website with a design software and iterating until approved
- Development – Building the site based on the approved design with WordPress
- Deployment – Pushing your website to the hosting of your choice (mine or yours, depending on needs) and watching it for any issues
All these phases together take one to four weeks depending on design iterations and the type of site.
As a web developer and as someone who handles their own high-speed hosting, I’m happy to take care of the maintenance and hosting of your site for you. Please note, this is not required, as your site is fully customizable via WordPress Gutenberg blocks and custom code.
