One person in Charleston.
I do the design, write the code, run the servers, and pick up the phone when something breaks.
That's the whole pitch. Nothing gets passed to a junior, nothing sits in a queue, and nobody has to explain their business twice.
I build on a stack I maintain myself, so the site that launches is the site I can still fix in three years.

Straight answers about cost, timing and hosting
What does a website cost?
Builds start at $1,250. The number moves with pages, features, integrations and how ready your content is — you get a fixed quote before I start.
How long does it take?
Most sites take four to six weeks from deposit to launch, assuming content comes back at a reasonable pace.
Which monthly plan do I need?
Care at $79 if you just need the site hosted, updated and watched. Growth at $139 if leads and payments matter. Growth+ at $199 if customers book time with you. Every plan is unlimited-user.
How many rounds of changes?
Two structured rounds during the build, each covering the whole site. Extra rounds are quoted flat, never hourly.
Do you still build on WordPress?
I maintain the WordPress sites I already host, but new builds go on my own stack — faster, fewer moving parts, nothing to break on plugin update day.
What if I need something you don't do?
I'll say so and point you at someone who does. If it's out of scope mid-project, I quote the flat price and timeline before I begin.
