Good websites for the shops, diners and trades that keep the Valley running.
If your site still says "©2012," won't load on a phone, or lists hours from before the pandemic, you're losing calls to the place down the road that fixed theirs.
I rebuild sites like that. You deal with one local person, and you get a straight price.

Full rebuilds
A new site from scratch, written around what your customers actually look for: what you do, where you are, when you're open, and how to reach you. You can update it yourself afterward.
Phone & speed fixes
Most people find you on a phone while parked outside. If your menu is an 8 MB PDF or the text is too small to read, I'll fix that without throwing out the whole site.
Google listing tune-ups
Your Google Business Profile matters as much as your website. I'll correct the hours, categories, photos and links so the right info shows up on Maps.
No sales pitch, no contracts that run for years.
- I look firstYou send me your web address. I'll send back a one-page, plain-English rundown of what's broken and what's fine, free.
- You see it before you payIf you want to go ahead, I'll mock up your new home page so you know what you're getting.
- I build it and hand it overI'll launch it, move your domain if needed, and show you how to change your hours yourself.
