Common Questions
What kinds of businesses do you build websites for?
Local service businesses of almost every kind: contractors, plumbers, electricians, roofers, HVAC companies, landscapers, painters, concrete crews, remodelers, commercial cleaning companies, hair salons, barbershops, nail salons, and more. The common thread is simple: if your customers find you by searching online and then calling or booking, a website built the right way will bring you more of them. The trade shapes how the site is built, but the goal is always the same: get found in your area and make it easy to take the next step. If you're not sure whether your business fits, it almost certainly does. Book a free call, tell me what you do, and I'll tell you straight how a website would help.
Do I own my website?
When your website is finished, you own the code, your domain name, and your hosting account. Nothing is rented and you're never locked into a monthly website subscription. Most website builders work differently. You pay every month, but the website isn't truly yours. If you stop paying, the site often disappears. I build websites in clean code that you own outright. If you ever decide to work with someone else, you can. Your website belongs to your business, not to me.
Do you build websites for businesses in other states?
Yes. I'm based in Big Bear, California, but I build websites for local service businesses all over the United States. Because everything is done by phone, email, and video call, we never need to meet in person and your location is never a problem. When we get on our first call, I learn your trade, the towns and counties you serve, and the kind of work you want more of. Then I build your website around those local searches, so the people in your area looking for your service have a better chance of finding you. Every website is built around your local market, your services, and the customers you're trying to reach, not around my location.
How much does a website cost?
A custom website you own outright usually lands between a cheap monthly builder and a big agency, priced as one fixed number scoped to your business. Here's the honest range you'll see in the market: on the cheap end, builders like Wix run around $30 a month forever, and you never own the site. On the high end, large agencies charge $10,000 or more, often with an ongoing monthly retainer attached. I build custom websites that you own outright and price them in between, with one clear number scoped to your business. Before I quote anything, I learn your trade and your service area on a free call, so the price reflects your actual business instead of a guess. If you want the full breakdown, I wrote a plain English guide on what goes into website pricing.
