Services and capabilities

Websites first, with security and cloud behind them.

I build and rescue websites for established businesses and community organizations, and I keep the hosting and security behind them in good shape. Cloud and software cost reviews are there when you need them.

Primary engagement types

A clear starting point without forcing the work into a generic package.

Each engagement type describes a common need, not a universal bundle. Capabilities are selected only when they support the approved goals and scope.

Engagement 01

Website Build

Designed for: Established businesses, roughly 5 or more staff or $500k+ in revenue, that have outgrown their current website.

A 5–10 page custom site for an established business. I help with the words, set up contact and quote forms, Google Search Console, your Business Profile, and analytics, and put secure hosting in your name. You get a training video so your team can update it.

Primary outcome: A fast, secure 5–10 page site in your name, with working forms, Google setup, and a documented handover.

Potential capabilities may include

  • 5–10 custom pages, with help on the words

  • Secure hosting and backups in your name
  • Training video and documented handover

Engagement 02

Website + Portal

Designed for: Lenders, nonprofits, and service companies that need a website plus intake forms, applications, booking, or logins.

Everything in a Website Build, plus custom features like application or intake portals, booking, member logins, or payments. It starts with a fixed-price 2-week Blueprint ($3,500, credited to the build): a plan, a diagram, and a phased budget you can take to a lender or investor.

  • Fixed-price 2-week Blueprint, credited to the build

Engagement 03

Website Rescue

Designed for: Businesses with a site that's old, slow, or at risk, and no clear picture of who runs it.

For a site that's old, slow, or at risk. I update it or move it to safe hosting, set up backups and test them, put Cloudflare in front, speed it up, and give you a one-page report of what you have.
