Is your website actually helping your business?
Hard to find on Google
Your competitors may be showing up for searches from customers who should be finding you instead.
Visitors aren't contacting you
Traffic only matters if your website turns visitors into calls, inquiries, and customers.
Your website is becoming a chore
Updates, security, performance, and content shouldn't be one more thing you have to manage yourself.
I handle the technical side so you can focus on running your business.
A website that's built well and found easily.
From a brand-new site to the technical SEO and ongoing care that keep one working — a single developer handling the parts of your website that actually move the needle for your business.
Build
Launch or rebuild a professional, fast, responsive website.
Maintain
Keep it secure, updated, fast, and functioning correctly.
Grow
Improve search visibility, content, and conversion performance over time.
SEO & Search Visibility
Technical SEO and on-page work that helps search engines understand your site and helps customers actually find it — not just a website that exists, but one that shows up.

- Google Search Console setup
- Page titles & metadata
- Site structure & internal linking
- On-page optimization
- Keyword & search opportunity research
- Mobile usability

The Developer Advantage
One person can find the problem — and fix it.
Many SEO reviews point out technical problems that still need a developer to actually resolve. Because the work comes from a development background, the same person who finds the issue can implement the fix — no hand-off, no waiting on someone else's schedule.
SEO work strengthens a site's technical foundation and search visibility over time. Results depend on many factors outside anyone's direct control, so there's no promise of specific rankings, traffic, or leads.

A complete WordPress site, built from scratch
Pine Ridge Outdoor is a demo site for a fictional landscaping company — designed, built, and maintained end to end to show the kind of WordPress work I actually do, on every screen size.

- API integrations
- Large page counts
- Extensive content creation or data entry
- Complex migrations
You own what you pay for
Once your Website Launch project is complete, the website is yours. Host it wherever you like — there's no obligation to sign up for anything ongoing. Prefer not to think about hosting, backups, or updates? The Care and Growth plans below include managed hosting and handle the technical side for you.
Every website I build can move straight into an ongoing Care or Growth plan once it's live — or you can simply take the finished site and run it yourself.
Pick the level of ongoing support that fits.
Care keeps your website healthy. Growth keeps it healthy and works to improve search visibility and performance. Partner adds more active development on top. Every plan includes direct access to me — not an account manager or rotating team — and every plan is month-to-month.

Managed hosting, updates, and monitoring are included with every plan above, separate from each plan's monthly work-hour allowance — see the FAQ below for how the hours work. Only need a standalone website? See the Website Launch package above — you can host it yourself, with no ongoing plan required. Growth and Partner include ongoing SEO work, which supports long-term visibility but isn't a guarantee of specific rankings or traffic.
A simple process, start to finish.
Whether you need a brand-new website, help with SEO and performance, a technical fix, or ongoing support, the process looks the same — one developer, from first conversation to launch and beyond.
Discuss
Tell me about your business, your website, and what you're trying to accomplish.
Plan
I review what's already there and recommend the right approach — a new build, SEO and performance work, or an ongoing plan.
Build & Improve
I build the website, fix what's broken, or make the technical and SEO improvements your site needs.
Support & Grow
We launch, or continue working together through an ongoing Care or Growth plan that keeps the site healthy and improving.

- You always know who's doing the work
- Questions get answered directly — no relay through a middleman
- No hand-offs between teams, so context never gets lost

The usual way
Working with me
Questions, answered.
Do you work with websites you didn't build?
Yes — this work is designed for sites that already exist, WordPress or otherwise. I start with a review of what's there, then work from that baseline — for SEO, performance, fixes, or ongoing Care and Growth.
Do I need a long-term contract?
No. Monthly plans are month-to-month, so you can pause or cancel whenever your needs change.
Do I have to sign up for Care if you build my website?
No. A standalone Website Launch can be deployed straight to your own hosting, with no obligation to buy anything ongoing. Care and Growth are optional next steps, not a requirement.
Who owns my website?
You do. Once a Website Launch project is paid for and delivered, the website is yours — whether or not you choose an ongoing plan afterward.
Is hosting included?
Managed hosting is included with the Care, Growth, and Partner plans. If you only purchase a standalone Website Launch, you're responsible for your own hosting — I can deploy the finished site to whatever host you choose.
What does the free website review include?
A look at your site's search visibility, performance, mobile usability, and conversion opportunities — plus a plain-language summary of any technical issues and what I'd prioritize first. No pressure, and no guaranteed rankings or results.
Do you guarantee SEO rankings?
No — no one can honestly guarantee specific rankings, traffic, or leads. The work focuses on strengthening your site's technical foundation, usability, and search visibility over time.
How do the monthly work hours work?
Care, Growth, and Partner each include a monthly hour allowance for hands-on work: Care up to 1 hour, Growth up to 5 hours, Partner up to 10 hours. Hours reset each month and don't roll over, and if you switch plans, the new plan's allowance replaces the old one rather than adding to it. Hosting, updates, backups, security monitoring, and each plan's reporting are separate from this allowance — they're included regardless of hours used.
What if a request goes beyond my plan's hours?
Work is prioritized together with you, and larger requests are assessed before I start — so anything beyond your plan's monthly hours, or work that needs a bigger commitment than an hour allowance covers, is scoped and quoted separately, with your approval before it begins. On Partner, landing pages, conversion improvements, custom features, and integrations are included within your monthly hours whenever the scope fits; larger builds are the exception that gets quoted.
