Websites, logo design,
and more.

I build for any business, personal site, or idea, designed around your customers. Already have a site? I’ll rebuild it. The website is a monthly plan with your free demo built up front. Logo work and the social media package are quoted, so ask me. More is built in than most people expect. For other digital projects, tell me what you have in mind, or call (919) 792-8333.

Website design and development

starting at $99 a month · free demo, built up front · $4,900 to own it outright

I build it before you owe anything, then show it to you. If you like it, it goes live and you start paying. If not, you walk away owing nothing. No deposit and no setup or launch fee. The plan has a one year minimum, billed monthly or paid for the year in one payment, then month to month.

Cancelling takes the site down; it does not hand over the build. See the terms.

Built first, refined with you if you keep it
Redesigns are the same deal, and I keep what works
Hosting, SSL, uptime monitoring, and updates included
Unlimited edits by text or email: flyers, news, and schedule changes, usually live within 5 minutes
Dynamic, not static: events and announcements take themselves down when they end
Mobile first, where your customers are
Built to be found: structured data and pages for the places you serve
Plain HTML that search engines and AI assistants read just like your customers do
Or buy it outright for $4,900: I hand over the files, and hosting and upkeep move to you

Online stores

quoted per project · built into the site, not bolted on

If you sell anything, the store is the part that pays for the site. I write the checkout myself instead of dropping in a plugin, so it follows your rules.

Cards through Stripe, plus Venmo, Cash App, or Bitcoin, landing in your accounts. I never touch your money or take a cut
Every price rechecked on the server, so a cart can’t be edited into a discount
Print on demand where it fits: no stock, nothing to pack
Orders arrive and payment clears; you find out by email

Two are live, and neither was a template.

Firefly Medaka ships live fish, about the most awkward thing to put in a cart. The checkout knows which orders hold livestock, screens plant orders against state rules, carries a live arrival guarantee, prices overnight shipping as an upgrade, and gives Bitcoin a discount
Heritage Jiu Jitsu sells its own gear to its members: colors, sizes, and stripe variants per age group, and a Venmo and Cash App checkout beside the card one, sharing one pricing module so totals never differ. The Spanish pages work the same

No store yet? Tell me what you would sell and I’ll say whether it is worth building.

More than a website

websites from $99 a month, one year minimum · the rest is quoted

Found by AI assistants, not only Google

I write pages AI tools can read and cite, and tell you what the site is doing to earn it.

Proof In a signed-out test on October 20, 2026, ChatGPT and Google both named my client Heritage Jiu Jitsu first for the best no-gi jiu jitsu gym in Wake Forest. AI answers change, so I never promise a position.

Payment your customers prefer

Stripe cards, plus Venmo, Cash App, and Bitcoin, paid to you.

Proof Firefly Medaka takes card, Venmo, Cash App, and Bitcoin today.

Forms that reach you

Quick to fill in, spam protected, and sent straight to where you follow up.

Proof Heritage’s free week form feeds its own follow-up system; this site’s form emails me.

Live schedules

A schedule that is part of the page, so the hours are true today, closures included.

Proof Heritage’s schedule highlights the class happening now and marks closure days.

Spanish versions

The same site as real Spanish pages, so customers can find it, read it, and shop.

Proof Heritage’s home page, gear store, and birthday page are in Spanish.

Someone watching it for you

If your site goes down, I get an email within minutes. Included in the plan.

Proof My watcher checks pages every five minutes, and form and checkout endpoints every thirty, without submitting anything.

Logo creation

quoted per project

A logo drawn from scratch, with the files you need everywhere, not one low resolution image.

Vector files, sharp on a sign, shirt, or phone
Light and dark versions, plus a square profile mark
Yours to keep and use

Logo vectorization and redesign

quoted per project · ask me

A fuzzy logo can look fine on screen and turn to mush on a shirt, sign, or banner. I turn it into crisp vector files that stay sharp at any size, and if the logo needs a refresh, I redraw it clean without losing what your customers already recognize.

Redrawn as vector, sharp at any size
Colors and spacing tidied, the shape kept
Every old file replaced

Why vector matters. A low-resolution logo blurs and jags when enlarged, most of all on shirts and merch. A client’s merch store had low-resolution logo files that would have printed blurry, so I swapped in vector files.

Demonstration: low-resThe vector at 160 pixels wide, scaled up

Vector

Smooth at any size. A favicon, a shirt, and the side of a truck all come from one 49 KB file.
One clean outline. Jagged steps become one stroke of constant width.
A true eye. Three perfect circles, not a smear of gray and white pixels.

Left: a low-resolution demonstration made from the vector, not an older file. Firefly Medaka is my own store, and this is my redraw of its logo.

Plain answers

before you hire anyone

Questions

What people ask before they hire me

How much does a small business website cost?

Starting at $99 a month, with nothing to pay until you approve your demo. That covers the build, hosting, updates, and upkeep. Or own the site outright for $4,900.

Do I have to pay before I see the website?

No. I build your real site first, with your own content, as a first pass I refine with you. You only pay if you keep it.

Can I cancel the monthly plan?

The plan has a one year minimum: twelve months at $99 a month (the starting rate), billed monthly or paid for the year in one payment. If you cancel in year one, the remaining payments are still due (or already covered if you prepaid), and the site stays up until the year ends. After that it runs month to month, and if you end it by email, the site comes down at the end of the month you have paid for. Cancelling takes the site down; to keep it for good, buy it outright for $4,900 whenever you decide.

What is included in the monthly plan?

The build itself, hosting, SSL, uptime monitoring, updates, and unlimited edits. New pages, redesigns, and new features are quoted first.

Will anyone actually find it?

Every page puts its facts in the HTML and structured data, so search engines and AI assistants can read it, and I write pages for the places and questions your customers search. I won’t promise a position, because nobody can. I will tell you what the site is doing to earn it.

Do you only work with small businesses near Raleigh?

No, on either count. Most of my work is around Raleigh, Wake Forest, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill, but it is all built remotely. A one person business, a bigger company, or a personal site is the same build on the same terms. A larger job I will quote.

How long does it take to build?

I build a real first version first, then refine it with you until you are happy. It goes live when you are happy for it to, and not before.
