What's included

Custom Design

Your site is designed around your business and your customers — not squeezed into a theme that looks like everyone else's.

Fast & Mobile-First

Most Richmond customers will find you on their phone. Your site loads fast and works flawlessly on every screen size.

Built to Rank

Clean code, proper page structure, and on-page SEO baked in from day one — not bolted on later.

Conversion-Focused

Clear calls to action, click-to-call buttons, and forms that make it effortless for customers to reach you.

You Own Everything

Your domain, your hosting, your code. No proprietary platform holding your website hostage.

Easy to Update

Need a menu change or new photos? Quick turnaround, or I'll show you how to do it yourself.

Why it matters

The honest version

Your website is usually the first impression a potential customer gets of your business. Before they call, visit, or book, they look you up — and they decide in seconds whether you seem legitimate, professional, and worth their money.

I build websites for Richmond-area businesses that do three jobs: look credible, load fast, and make it easy to become a customer. That means real design work (not a template), performance that satisfies both visitors and Google, and a structure that search engines understand.

Every project starts with a conversation about your business — who your customers are, what they search for, and what you want them to do when they land on your site. Then you get a fixed quote and a timeline. Most sites launch in 2–4 weeks.

The Details

What you actually get

Every website design and development project includes the same core deliverables: a custom design reviewed with you before a line of code is written, a hand-built site with no page-builder bloat, on-page SEO fundamentals (titles, meta descriptions, schema markup, image optimization, sitemap), mobile testing on real devices, contact forms wired to your inbox, analytics so you can see your visitors, and a launch checklist that covers domain, hosting, and Google indexing.

Performance is a feature, not an afterthought. Most sites I build load in under two seconds on a phone. That matters twice: slow sites lose visitors before the page renders, and Google uses page speed as a ranking signal. Template builders like Wix and Squarespace ship megabytes of code your site never uses — hand-built sites simply don't carry that weight.

After launch, you choose: take the keys and run it yourself (everything is in your name, and I'll show you how), or have me handle updates and improvements on a monthly plan. There's no lock-in either way.

FAQ

Common questions

How much does a website cost in Richmond, VA?

My starter websites begin at $1,200 for up to 5 custom-designed pages. Larger sites with more pages, e-commerce, or custom features are quoted individually — always as a fixed price, so there are no surprises.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most small business websites launch in 2–4 weeks from our first call, depending on how quickly content (text, photos, logo) comes together.

Do I own the website when it's done?

Yes — completely. Your domain, hosting account, and all files are in your name. If we ever part ways, everything goes with you.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site I build includes on-page SEO fundamentals: proper titles, meta descriptions, schema markup, fast load times, and mobile-friendly design. For competitive rankings, pair it with my local SEO service.
