Websites built to win work, not just to look nice.
A custom, mobile-first website that loads fast, ranks in local search, and turns visitors into calls and quotes. You work with me directly — from the first sketch to the day it goes live.
In short: I design and build custom websites for Metro Detroit businesses on WordPress, HubSpot, Shopify, and BigCommerce. Most small-business sites run $5,000–$10,000 on a professional theme, or $20,000+ for fully custom design. Every project is mobile-first, SEO-ready, and built around a clear path to contact you.
A site that does a job
A website is the hardest-working salesperson you have. It works nights, weekends, and holidays, and it either earns you leads or quietly loses them. I build sites for the first outcome.
Every project includes:
- Mobile-first design — most local searches happen on a phone, so the phone layout comes first, not last.
- On-page SEO — proper titles, headings, structure, and schema so you can be found for what you actually do.
- A clear path to contact — the request-a-quote action is never buried.
- Analytics — so you can see the leads it produces, not just guess.
- Clean, maintainable build — on a platform you can actually update.
Three ways to get a website — and what each really costs
Every business faces the same choice. Here's the honest tradeoff of each, so you can decide what fits.
| Approach | Typical cost | Best for | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build it yourself (Wix, Squarespace, etc.) | $20–$80/mo | Very early, very small budget | Eats your time; rarely built to convert or rank |
| Freelancer/agency on a theme | $5,000–$10,000 | Most small businesses | Quality varies widely by who you hire |
| Fully custom design & build | $20,000–$50,000+ | Established companies, unique needs | Bigger investment, longer timeline |
Cost ranges reflect 2026 industry pricing surveys for U.S. small-business websites.

Website design FAQ
How much does a website cost in Metro Detroit?
Most small-business sites on a professional theme run $5,000–$10,000. Fully custom design starts around $20,000, and larger enterprise sites run $30,000–$50,000 depending on scope and integrations.
Which platform do you build on?
WordPress, HubSpot, Shopify, or BigCommerce, chosen to fit how you'll actually run the site. I don't push one platform on every client.
How long does it take?
You see a first design draft in one to two weeks, and most sites launch in four to eight weeks depending on how quickly content comes together.
Do you handle hosting and updates?
Yes, optionally. A monthly care plan covers hosting, security, and content updates so you don't have to think about it.
