I help local businesses and churches around Gwinnett stop losing people at the front door — the customer who never calls, the visitor who never comes back. Live in two weeks, one hour of your time, and a fixed price agreed in writing before anything starts.
no retainer, no lock-in, no jargon
For local businesses and churches around Gwinnett — six questions, a price, and a preview of your site
01 The problem
A dead domain, a Facebook page standing in for a website, or a site that was fine in 2014. None of that says anything about how good you are at the work — but it is the first thing a customer sees, and they draw a conclusion in about four seconds.
I fix that. Not with a rebuild that takes six months and a committee, and not with a template you have to learn to drive. One page or five, done properly, and then left alone unless you want me to look after it.
02 Who it's for
You do not need to know how many pages you want. You know what you are, and what you keep losing people to. Find yourself below.
Handyman, plumber, electrician, HVAC, painter, landscaper, cleaner. Texting a photo is the whole funnel — the site just has to get them to do it.
Usually Launch — and usually the whole job.
A first-time visitor decides before they arrive. Service times, what to do with the kids, and where to park settle more nerves than anything you can say.
One page for a plant, Presence for a church with ministries.
Barbers, lash and nail, trainers, tutors, chiropractors, counsellors. The fear is the first visit, not the price — so show them what it is like.
Usually Launch; Presence if you have a real service menu.
Bakers, caterers, food trucks, makers. People want to buy the thing now, on a phone, without emailing you to ask how.
Storefront — or Launch first, and add the store later.
Not on this list? It is priced by what the job actually is, not by what you call yourself — Free website checkup the six questions will tell you where you land.
03 How it works
What you do, who you want more of, and what has to be on the site. That is the whole brief.
One number, what it includes, and what it does not. Nothing changes without your yes.
I write the words and take it as far as I can on my own. You get a link and one round of changes — not a stack of decisions.
Your domain, your accounts, your passwords, in your name. If you ever leave you take every file with you. Nothing is held hostage.
04 Pricing
An exact quote comes after the call, always in writing, always fixed.
The one-pager that makes you findable and bookable this month.
The full five-page site for a business that is done apologising for its website.
Everything in Presence, plus a real store with world-class checkout.
Never think about your website again. Updates applied, uptime monitored, backups verified, and up to two content changes a month: one text from you, done by me. Month to month, cancel any time, and if you leave you get every file and every password.
Add-on: logo design, three real concepts to choose from, from $150 with any site.
05 Who you are hiring
I spent over ten years consulting inside corporate America before I left to teach music full time — a decade of scoping work, writing the proposal, and being the one who had to explain what was delivered and why it cost what it cost. Then I built the studio's own website, booking and everything behind it myself. You can go and look at it: lilburnpianolessons.com. That is where this came from: I know what it costs a small business in time and nerve to get online, because I did it without a budget and without a team.
So I do not sell you a platform and disappear. You get a site you own outright, a person who answers his own phone, and an honest answer when the thing you are asking for is not worth the money.
and if I'm not the right fit, I'll say so
06 Asked and answered
Because there is no agency. No account manager, no project manager, no office, and no markup on any of them — you are paying one person for the hours the work actually takes. I spent over ten years consulting in corporate America, so this is the same discipline those firms sell, minus the firm. The trade-off is real and worth saying out loud: I build a handful of sites at a time, so if you need forty pages and a team, I am the wrong call.
You see it before it goes anywhere near your customers, and one round of changes is included. If it is still not right after that, we talk about it like adults — I would much rather fix it than have you living with something you are quietly embarrassed by.
Two weeks from the day I have your content, for Launch and Presence. The thing that slows a build down is almost never the building — it is waiting on photos and text. I write the words for you unless you would rather write them.
About an hour, total. Fifteen minutes on the phone at the start, a look at the draft, and one round of changes. If you have photos, send them. If you do not, we will talk about that.
You own it. The domain is registered in your name, the accounts are yours, and you hold the passwords. If you stop working with me you take every file with you. That is not a favour, it is how it should always work.
Then the first question is whether you need a new one. Sometimes the honest answer is that yours is fine and needs an afternoon of fixes, and I will tell you that.
Yes, and it is a good part of the work. Giving, service times, a Connect link that actually connects, and a site a volunteer can keep up to date after I hand it over.
Nothing you have to do. The Care Plan is there if you want it looked after; if you do not, the site is yours and it keeps working. There is no subscription you have to keep paying to stay online.
Send me your address and you get back a short, blunt list of what is costing you calls — the things a customer hits in the first ten seconds. No pitch attached, and you are welcome to take the list to somebody else or fix it yourself. It takes me about fifteen minutes and I do it anyway.
No list to join, no follow-up sequence. If you want one afterwards you can ask.
Answer six questions and you will see a price and a rough preview of your own site before you speak to anybody. No pitch deck, no proposal to decode, no call unless you want one.
Or just say what you need and I will come back to you:
