Online ordering
Customers pick items, choose pickup or delivery, and send you the order. Built for bakeries, delis, caterers and anyone with a menu or a list of things people ask for.
Websites for local businesses
I build websites for local businesses. Yours comes first, as a free working concept at a private link. Love it? It's $299 flat, with 12 months of hosting. If not, you owe nothing.
Takes about a minute. No payment details, no sales call.
Example bakery website: Photo tiles of what's in store, Today's hours and directions right at the top, Tap-to-call and a map for people walking over.
How it works
Everything happens by email, at your pace. No calls to schedule and nothing to sign before you've seen your website.
Name, type of business, town and your email. It takes about a minute, and there's nothing to pay.
A real, working multi-page website at a private link, laid out for your kind of business. It's clearly marked as a concept and hidden from search engines. It arrives by email, usually within a business day.
Reply “yes”, tell me what you'd change, or simply ignore it. There's nothing to cancel and no follow-up calls.
Send your details and photos, and I'll finish the site and walk you through pointing your domain at it. About 7 days from your yes.
What you get
The standard site is the same for everyone: a real multi-page website with the parts that get the phone to ring. Anything bigger is quoted separately, below.
With 12 months of hosting included. No subscription and no contract. You pay only after you've seen your concept and said yes.
Get my free conceptPayment is a secure Stripe link. I never see your card details.
Full refund any time before your site goes live. Refunds & cancellation
Home, Services (or Menu, or Classes), About and Contact, each on its own page. If there's not enough for an About page yet, I leave it out rather than make something up.
A call button that stays in reach on every phone screen, plus a map and one-tap directions.
Built from your real opening hours, so people know at a glance whether to come by.
Laid out for the small screen first, then scaled up for tablets and desktops.
Your own photos lead. Until you send them, licensed stock photos that fit your trade, credited properly.
A clear title, description and business details that search engines can read.
HTTPS and fast hosting, included in the price.
Your domain and content stay yours, with 1 round of changes to the finished site and step-by-step help pointing your domain at it.
After the first yearAn optional $120 a year care plan covers hosting, security updates and small edits. It never renews automatically: I'll ask a month before your included hosting ends, and you can cancel any time by email. If you'd rather not, I'll help you move the site anywhere you like.
Specialized services
Online ordering, a web shop, member logins, a forum, online booking: these are bigger projects. Each one is scoped with you, built for your business and quoted per project, so there is no price list here. The $299 site stays flat and separate.
Customers pick items, choose pickup or delivery, and send you the order. Built for bakeries, delis, caterers and anyone with a menu or a list of things people ask for.
A product catalog with a cart and checkout, so you can sell to people who will never walk through your door. Built for makers, boutiques and shops with products to ship.
Accounts and sign-in, with pages only members, students or clients can see. Built for clubs, studios, schools and anyone with a private area.
A place for customers, members or students to ask questions and talk to each other, with you in charge of what stays up.
Appointments, classes or tables booked straight from the site, with times that match your hours. Built for salons, studios, clinics and anyone who lives by a calendar.
If it isn't on this list, ask. I'll tell you honestly whether it's a good fit, and if it isn't, I'll say so.
How to ask for one: tick what you need on the form below. As we talk it through, I add a working demo to your concept so you can try the idea, then quote the real thing. A demo uses placeholder content, sends nothing anywhere and is never put on your live site. The real feature is built after you accept a quote.
Questions
Anything else? Email [email protected].
I look at the public websites and map listings of local businesses. If yours had something fixable, like no phone layout, a security warning or no website at all, I built a concept and emailed it once, with at most one follow-up. Reply “no” or “unsubscribe” and you won't hear from me again. That address, and your business's own domain, won't be contacted.
Nothing for the concept. If you go ahead: the services or products to list (prices optional), a few photos, a couple of sentences about the business, and anything you'd like changed.
Yes. Before you order, I'll make up to 2 rounds of tweaks to the concept. Once you order, everything you send goes into the finished site, and you get 1 more round of changes once the finished site is ready.
No. Your domain and email stay where they are. When you're ready, I send exact steps to point your domain at the new site. No domain yet? I'll help you pick and register one (usually $10–15 a year, paid to the registrar).
You get a full refund any time before your site goes live. Once it's live, the payment is non-refundable. The care plan never renews automatically, you can cancel it any time by email, and it stays active until the end of the paid year. Details are in Refunds & cancellation.
Partly. I use automated tools to find and check websites, put together concepts and answer routine emails; I oversee the whole process. Replies only ever deal with your website and the offer, and anything unusual comes to me personally.

It's free and takes about a minute. I'll email you a private link to your concept, usually within a business day.
