Websites for Kansas City and St. Louis businesses
I build and rebuild websites for businesses in Kansas City and St. Louis: the kind that customers look up before they call, book a time, or stop in. You get the scope and price before I start. If there's an old site, I handle the move. If there isn't one yet, that's a shorter job.
Work
Their old site buried the services they wanted people to find and made the estimate form hard to reach. I rewrote the pages, rebuilt the form, and moved them over without losing the old one.
Two of my own, built end to end.
Bindars is a desktop app that makes plain-text notes pleasant to read. I built the app and its website: the design, the words, and the screenshots.
The card game Speed, played by two people at once in a browser. Two phones, the same pile, kept in sync as fast as you can tap.

What you get
Your website has one job: make it easy for the right customers to choose you.
Pricing
Every site includes setup so Google can list your pages, two rounds of review, and the first three months of the care plan. If you have an old site and the necessary access, I include redirects for the page addresses we identify before launch.
If you have your own words and photos. One page: your services, service area, examples of your work, and how to reach you. I edit and arrange what you send.
If you'd rather I wrote it. Four to six pages, drafted from an interview with you, with a working estimate-request form.
If you need more than a handful of pages. Everything in Standard, up to twelve standard content pages, and help setting up or cleaning up an eligible Google Business Profile. Google requires your participation and controls verification.
Projects start with a 30-minute conversation, then a fixed scope and price in writing. Half up front, the rest before launch. I quote anything beyond the agreed scope first, at $100 an hour.
Domain, hosting, and the form service are accounts in your name, and their fees are billed to you. The project price covers my work. For 30 days after launch, I fix anything that doesn't work as agreed at no charge.
Care plan: first three months included, then $95 a month. It is standard with every project and keeps your site looked after on the hosting account you own:
After the included period, it continues month to month. Your proposal lists the first billing date, and I'll remind you before then. You can decline care before launch or cancel at any time.
If care ends, you keep the site and accounts. I'll send the current site files and handoff notes, and future changes are available at the hourly rate.
Not sure which one fits? Tell me what you have and I'll say which I'd pick.
Tell me about your businessProcess
I take on one new website build at a time. While I'm building yours, I'm not building someone else's.
We spend about 30 minutes on your business, the questions customers ask, and what needs to change. Phone or video, whichever you prefer. After that, most of the project can happen by email.
I send a written scope, schedule, and fixed price. Half is due to reserve the project. You send the material and account access listed in the scope.
For Starter, I edit and arrange what you provide. For Standard and Plus, I draft the pages from our conversation and your material. You correct the facts before I style the site.
I send you a private link to review on your computer and phone. Two rounds of consolidated changes to the built site are included.
With the necessary access, I back up any old site and preserve the page addresses and email settings we identified. I check the links and contact form, then make the new site public.
The included care plan starts at launch. For the first 30 days, I also fix anything that doesn't work as agreed at no charge.
FAQ
That's fine. The technical setup can be simpler because there's no old site or page addresses to preserve. We'll still need accurate business information and any photos you want to use. Starter covers one page using material you provide; Standard covers four to six pages with the writing included.
These packages cover informational business websites and estimate or contact forms. Online stores, customer accounts, custom applications, advanced booking systems, and other integrations need a separate scope and quote.
You do. The domain, hosting, and every account are registered to you. Where a service supports separate access, I use that instead of sharing your password. At launch you receive the complete site files and an inventory of accounts and renewal dates.
There isn't a built-in editing dashboard. I can make changes for you, or any developer can edit the site files. The care plan includes up to 30 minutes of changes each month; without it, I bill at $100 an hour.
Yes. It is standard with every project, and the first three months are included. Your proposal states the date monthly billing would begin. You can decline care before launch, cancel before the first charge, or cancel later. Without it you keep the site and accounts; changes bill at $100 an hour, and monitoring, form checks, backups, and renewal reminders are yours to handle.
I schedule a Standard project for three to five weeks after I receive the deposit, required material, and account access. Starter may be faster; Plus gets its own schedule in the proposal. Delayed feedback or third-party verification can move the launch date. I take on one new website build at a time.
Before I build, you can correct the factual details in the page draft. After you see the built site, you get two rounds of consolidated feedback; one round means one collected list of changes. New pages or features outside the agreed scope are new work, and I quote them first.
No one can honestly promise that. I make the site accessible to search engines, write clear page titles and descriptions, and submit its sitemap. Rankings depend on competition, reputation, relevance, and Google's decisions.
You have a complete copy of the site files, and another developer can host or edit them. If I end the care plan, I will give you at least 60 days' notice and help with the handoff.
My launch plan is to keep it working. I preserve the existing email-related DNS records and verify them again after the switch. I don't move your email service unless we scope that separately.

If I don't think you need a new site, I'll say so.
If someone sent you my way, tell me who. I'd like to thank them.
