The October special

What is the October special?

A limited-time offer: $699 for a done-for-you website based on the demo, launched for you and yours to own outright: code, content, and domain. No monthly platform fees.

What's included?

A professional, mobile-first site (up to 5 pages) based on the demo with your branding and content, client-intake routing to your inbox, online booking, Google Business and local-search setup, a free hosting option set up for you with a how-to guide, and 6 months of support. Deeper automations or extra pages can be added on.

What about hosting and my domain?

I set you up with a free hosting option and give you a how-to guide for managing the hosting and the site after the included 6 months. It's best if you already own your domain.

Is there a monthly fee or care plan?

No monthly fee. Support for the first 6 months after launch is on me. After that there's no subscription, I help on a per-issue basis at $125/hr, only when you actually need me.

How long does it take?

Usually live within a few weeks. The biggest variable is how quickly your content, service details and copy, comes together.

Custom work & pricing

What else do you do, and how is it priced?

Beyond the website special I take on custom development, mobile and web apps, databases, IT support, tech consulting, and project management. That work is scoped per project, with development from $200/hr; a quick consulting audit is $50. You own what I build, with no monthly fees.

What do you need from me?

Your business details, branding, and the words for each page. For photography and images, I recommend hiring a professional designer or photographer, I can make suggestions, but I don't source images myself. It's also best if you already own your domain.

Can you redesign my existing site or just add automations?

Both. I redesign existing sites, and I also add intake automations and workflows to sites that are otherwise fine. Tell me what you need on the intake form and we'll scope it.

Can I edit the site myself after launch?

Yes. The site includes a simple admin, a git-based content manager, where you sign in and edit your business details, portfolio, theme colors, and page toggles in plain form fields; saving publishes the change. For the done-for-you build I set that up and give you a walkthrough. It handles your structured content, not free-form page design.

Working together

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Any small business that gets customers online, law firms, clinics and practices, contractors, salons, consultants, local services, shops and restaurants, plus founders and teams who need senior engineering without the headcount.

Who actually does the work?

You work directly with me, Ariel, a senior software engineer with 13+ years across mobile, full-stack, databases, and enterprise systems. No account managers, no handoff to a junior team.
