01 / About
Building the web for real businesses.
I'm a one-person operation, which means you talk directly to the person building your site — no account managers, no support tickets, no upsells.
I build modern, high-performing websites for small businesses across Middle Tennessee and Northeast Mississippi — including Nashville, Franklin, Murfreesboro, Tupelo, Oxford, and Starkville. My focus is helping local businesses establish a strong, professional online presence and reach more customers through sites that actually work.
Most small business websites today are either outdated, painfully slow on phones, or built on bloated platforms that hurt their Google ranking. I build the opposite: fast, mobile-first sites that load in under a second, look great on every device, and rank well in local search.
Your website should pay for itself. One new customer from a search like "bakery near me" or "wedding photographer in Franklin" usually covers the cost of the site many times over. I'd rather build you something that brings in real business than something that just looks pretty in a portfolio.

Not sure what you need?
Most local businesses do well with the Standard build — it covers 5-6 pages, real SEO, and analytics so you can see what's working.
If you'd rather not think about hosting, updates, or the technical side after launch, add the Care plan. If you're comfortable managing things yourself, skip it — the site is fully yours either way.
