Website services

A clear, durable website for the work you actually do.

I build focused websites for local, creative, and owner-operated businesses. Each project is shaped around what customers need to understand, what your team needs to update, and a handoff you can confidently own.

Good fit

For businesses that need clarity, not extra complexity.

A strong project starts with a real communication or editing problem. The technology follows that need.

Local services

Make the next step obvious.

Present what you do, who it helps, where you work, and how a prospective customer should contact you.

Artists and creative work

Let the work lead.

Build a fast, image-conscious portfolio with thoughtful credits, accessible presentation, and a manageable publishing routine.

Owner-operated businesses

Support the real workflow.

Replace a generic template or fragile process with a site that reflects how your business actually handles inquiries and updates.

Services

Start with the smallest useful system.

Every engagement is scoped around observable deliverables, client-owned accounts, and a clear acceptance boundary.

01

Focused business website

A new marketing, portfolio, or information site—or a careful rebuild of one that no longer serves the business.

  • Information architecture and responsive page design
  • Accessible, performance-conscious implementation
  • Search and social-sharing foundations
  • Launch verification and documented handoff
02

Sanity CMS website

Structured editing when regular content changes are a real business need, without forcing every website into a CMS.

  • Content model, validation, and editor structure
  • Protected draft preview and explicit publishing
  • Client-owned accounts, roles, and recovery
  • Project-specific training and user guide
03

Selective software and automation

A narrowly scoped browser tool, internal workflow, or integration when a standard website cannot solve the underlying problem.

  • Workflow discovery and technical feasibility
  • Small web applications and practical utilities
  • API, data, and creator-tool integrations
  • Human review and maintainable documentation

Approach

A visible path from first conversation to handoff.

Technical acceptance, content approval, and launch authorization stay separate so everyone knows what is ready and who owns the decision.

  1. 01

    Fit and discovery

    Clarify the audience, business goal, content owners, editing needs, integrations, risks, and what success looks like.

  2. 02

    Scope and proposal

    Agree on deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, review points, acceptance criteria, schedule, and a scoped quote.

  3. 03

    Build and review

    Work through representative content, responsive behavior, accessibility, preview, and feedback before final migration or launch.

  4. 04

    Launch and handoff

    Verify the agreed workflows, train editors when needed, transfer ownership, document recovery, and separate optional ongoing care.

Public proof

Working software and evidence you can inspect.

The first services release uses public, directly verifiable work rather than presenting pre-launch customer projects as finished outcomes.

Engineering evidence

Case studies and career evidence covering cloud-backed applications, full-stack systems, data workflows, automation, and accountable production support.

Review the portfolio

Ownership

Your business should own its foundation.

The default is simple: the client owns the domain, hosting, CMS, analytics, billing, data, and recovery methods. Access uses named accounts and least privilege. Training and a clean handoff are included; publishing labor, emergency response, and ongoing care are separately scoped.

Copywriting, legal review, rights clearance, bulk content cleanup, vendor fees, and newly discovered integrations are not silently included. If the work changes, the scope changes in writing first.

Project inquiry

Tell me what needs to work better.

Include the business or project, the main goal, what content already exists, the preferred timeline, and a working budget range. I will reply by email to confirm fit and the next useful step.
