Custom websites · Open for commissions

Your business deserves a world of its own.

I build hand-crafted, responsive websites for local trades and small businesses. Every tier gets the same custom foundation; page count, original art, motion, and functional depth scale from the focused one-page Card to the full flagship commission.

A digital atelier, not a template counter. What is available now and what is still being built stay clearly separated.

Choose your working

Two doors. One is open now.

The first creates a place worth finding. The second is a planned automation workshop, still behind the velvet rope while its operating and compliance gates are proven.

Registering Hive interest is non-binding. It does not order service, reserve a place, or authorize messaging.

The service grimoire

What should your site be able to do?

Choose a chapter. The workbench shows what is available, what it solves, and what it honestly costs.

Available now · focused Card at $200 once

A digital place that could belong to no one else.

Every tier is hand-built and responsive. Eight published scopes run from a focused one-page Card to a flagship scene system; page count, original art, motion, and tools increase only with the approved tier and written proposal. Larger work is quoted separately.

Included in the craft · no ranking promises

Make the right answer easy to recognize.

Your services, location, hours, calls, and directions are structured so people and search systems can understand them. The aim is clarity and a strong local foundation—not invented traffic, bought reviews, or guaranteed rankings.

Optional · from $15 per month

Send the change. I tend the site.

Hosting, backups, and updates can stay on one accountable desk. Care is optional and month-to-month. Cancelling ends plan features after the paid month, but never changes your ownership of the paid build.

Pre-launch · proposals, not public services

Automation belongs behind a gate until it is proven.

The planned Hive includes missed-call text-back and other narrow business workflows. Provider configuration, carrier registration, consent, monitoring, and end-to-end proof remain launch gates. Current prices are planning estimates.

From first word to live site

You bring the business. I handle the build.

  1. 01

    Tell me what matters

    Your trade, your customers, the calls you want, and the character that should come through.

  2. 02

    I shape the approved build

    Structure, copy, graphics, interaction, and phone behavior become one custom direction within the tier and proposal you approved.

  3. 03

    You inspect the work

    Review it before launch using the published caps and revision rounds for the approved tier. Anything beyond that scope is agreed as an upgrade or written change order.

  4. 04

    It goes live—and becomes yours

    Card and Card Plus are paid up front; larger builds have a balance due on delivery. Once the agreed build is fully paid, the finished site belongs to you outright.

Worlds beyond the atelier

The proof is in the places already through the door.

No borrowed client wall, stock testimonials, or invented rankings. These live Desiderata projects show the atelier’s creative range; they are inspiration, not a promise that every feature shown belongs to every tier.

The desk is lit

Let’s make the site only your business could wear.

Tell me what you do and what the current site is failing to do. I’ll point you to the right published tier and confirm the approved scope in writing—without inflating it.

The $200 starting tier is the focused one-page Card, not the page, art, motion, or tool depth of a larger commission. Compare the published tier limits. Larger builds use a 50% deposit; the two smallest tiers are paid in full up front. Read the plain-English terms.
