Clean,secure code
I build static websites and templates, coded from scratch. Static sites are lightweight and secure, which helps with page load time and SEO. I code using HTML, CSS, and Javascript, along with modern web development technologies like NextJS, ReactJS, and Tailwind CSS. I strive to keep up with a variety of modern website design trends.
Professionalservices
I learned the ins and outs web development through setting up my own apps for my business; it's a vast topic, and the process can be painful! I'm happy to now share my expertise with other businesses who need a web presence, but don't want to spend a lot of time building their own site.
The process
1
Getting started
Take a look at the templates on this site, and choose the one you like. If you don't see any template that suits you, contact me to enquire about doing a design from scratch.
2
Initial draft
I'll ask you for some pictures and information about your business, including your logo/brand if you have one. I will customize the template - or new design - to match your business's brand and vibe.
3
Preview/feedback
I'll provide you with a preview link to see if you're happy with the design so far. You can decide at this point whether or not you'd like to proceed with the design. If so, I'll ask for a $50 deposit.
4
More drafts/feedback
I will complete the site, and provide you with another preview link. If you have feedback/revisions, I'll make them. We will repeat the process as needed.
5
Delivery of final project
I'll provide you with all the code for your site; if you choose to get hosting from me, I'll deploy it to the internet. At this point, I ask for the rest of the payment as well as the hosting/maintenance fees if applicable.

FAQ
How does your service compare with creating a Wordpress site?
Advantages of my services over Wordpress
#1 Static sites: I create static websites using only code (no site builders like Wordpress, Wix, etc). There are a few advantages of creating static sites; the code is often quite lightweight compared to other types of site; they have quite fast load times. And there are fewer security issues with static websites.

#2 Hands off experience for you: I try to make it as simple as possible for you; I'll ask for some details about your business to fill out the site, (about page, services offered, menu, schedule, etc.) I'll ask for some good pictures. Then you're done.
Advantages of Wordpress over my services
Control: Creating a site with Wordpress gives you more control to the text and images for any part of the site that you like. Depending on how much time you have for this sort of thing, you might prefer having a Wordpress site.
What do you do for SEO?
I follow the recommended best practices for achieving a high SEO score, including:
- Using semantic HTML structure for each page (using appropriate tags, labeling items properly, etc.)
- Making sites accessible to the visually impaired (through proper labeling of buttons and images, appropriate contrast ratios, etc.)
- Using appropriate keywords and character lengths in the site description metadata tags
- Making the site responsive; ie., making pages look good on different devices and screen sizes
- Optimizing images so they load more quickly; optimizing images for different screen sizes
- Using tools that make the javascript and CSS code as small as possible, to reduce page size and load time
- Creating a proper sitemap.xml file for search engines to crawl
- Submitting newly created sites to Google Search Console for indexing
I also make a point of reading regularly about developments in SEO strategies.
However, I'm not a specialist in this area. There are "SEO experts" whose sole focus is SEO, with whom you can consult for a more comprehensive strategy; but if your budget allows for that, you might as well go with a bigger agency/developer for your website, as they often have a dedicated SEO professional.
But the strategies listed above, together with proper marketing to get people visiting your site, and with a bit of time, should result in a good SEO score.
Why should I choose you to build my site?
This service is ideal for anyone who:
- Has a small business and wants a web presence
- Doesn't want to deal with a big agency
- Needs a great site on a budget
With this service, you'll get a quality, quick-loading site at a great price. Please reach out if you have any other questions!
