Custom Website Development

Every site is hand-built from scratch using clean, modern code. No templates, no page builders, no unnecessary bloat. Your site is tailored to your business, not squeezed into a generic framework.

  • Mobile-first responsive design
  • Fast load times and 95+ Lighthouse scores
  • Clean, maintainable code
  • Built to your exact specifications

Search Engine Optimization

Your site is built with SEO baked in from the start. Proper structure, semantic HTML, schema markup, and technical best practices so search engines can find and rank your content.

  • Schema markup for rich search results
  • Optimized meta tags and titles
  • Fast page speed for better rankings
  • Local SEO for geographic targeting

Analytics and Tracking

Know what is working and what is not. I set up Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and Search Console. Custom event tracking captures phone clicks, form submissions, and other key actions. Conversion goals are tied to distinct outcomes so you can see exactly where leads are coming from.

  • Google Tag Manager setup and configuration
  • GA4 event tracking for clicks and form submissions
  • Conversion goal setup per inquiry type
  • Search Console setup and monitoring

Contact Forms and Lead Capture

Convert visitors into leads with well-designed contact forms. Forms can be differentiated by inquiry type and route to a unique thank you page per conversion goal. Notification emails include a label so you know exactly where each lead came from.

  • Custom form design
  • Labeled notification emails by inquiry type
  • Unique thank you pages per conversion goal
  • Spam protection

Image Editing and Optimization

Your images are optimized for the web. Cropped, compressed, and converted to modern formats. Faster load times and lower bandwidth costs.

  • WebP conversion for smaller files
  • Responsive images for all devices
  • Lazy loading implementation
  • Alt text for accessibility

Hosting, Maintenance, and Agency Coordination

Budget-friendly hosting on reliable platforms with hosting costs significantly lower than Squarespace or Wix. I also work directly alongside marketing agencies as the technical implementer. If your agency handles ads, SEO strategy, or analytics reporting, I handle the implementation so nothing falls through the cracks.

  • Low-cost hosting setup
  • SSL certificates included
  • Third-party agency coordination
  • Content updates and technical support

How I Work

A straightforward process focused on clear communication and delivering results.

01

Discovery

We talk about your business, goals, and what you need from your website. I ask questions to understand your customers and competitive landscape.

02

Planning

I put together a clear plan with scope, timeline, and pricing. You know exactly what you are getting before any work begins.

03

Design and Development

I build your site from scratch. You see progress along the way and can provide feedback before launch.

04

Launch and Support

Your site goes live. I make sure everything works, analytics are tracking, and you know how to use it.

Why Hand-Built?

Lower Costs

Squarespace and Wix charge high monthly fees forever. Custom sites have significantly lower hosting costs that save you money over time.

Faster Performance

Page builders add bloat that slows your site. Hand-built code is lean and fast. Better user experience and better search rankings.

Complete Control

You own your code and your content. No vendor lock-in, no artificial limits, no features hidden behind premium plans.

Built for Your Business

Your site is designed for your specific needs, not adapted from a generic template. Every feature serves a purpose.
