A site designed around what you sell
Not a template with your logo dropped in. The layout follows how your customers actually decide: what they need to see first, what objection comes next, where the contact form belongs.
Website Design
Custom website design that brings in customers.
Most small business websites look fine and do nothing. I design sites around how your customers actually decide, make them fast on a phone, and build them to show up on Google.
Custom design, built to convert, ready for search from day one, and kept up to date for you after launch, so your site never quietly goes stale.
I've built more than 200 websites since 2016.
What You Get
What you actually get
Fast loading on a phone
Most of your visitors are on mobile, on a mediocre connection. A site that looks beautiful on your desktop and takes six seconds on a phone is a broken site.
Search-ready from day one
Every page gets a real title and meta description, proper heading structure, compressed images, and structured data. This is the foundation SEO is built on, and retrofitting it later costs more than doing it upfront.
Full ownership
Your domain, your content, your site. If you stop working with me, you keep everything and can hand it to anyone.
How It Works
From first conversation to launch
We talk first
What you sell, who buys it, what's not working now, and what you'd consider a win. If I think you'd be better served by something other than a new site, I'll say so.
You see a free mockup
I design your new homepage before you pay anything, so you can judge the direction with your own eyes. Request yours here.
I map the site, then build it
Which pages exist, what each one is for, what a visitor does next. Most bad websites are bad because this step got skipped.
You review it live
Not a screenshot, the real site, on your phone, before anyone else sees it.
Launch, then I keep it current
Need a new photo, a price change, or a new page? Send it over and it's done. You run your business; I keep the website working for it.
After Launch
A website that stays current, without the busywork
Most small business owners don't want to learn website software. They want the site to be right, and they want changes made quickly when something changes in the business. That's how I work: you send the update, I make it, usually the same week. See website maintenance.
The results speak for themselves. West Michigan Kitchen Studio runs three showroom locations and a full product catalog on a site I built. Age Management of West Michigan, one of the largest independent medical offices in the region, nearly doubled their traffic after their redesign. Peace Church Middleville serves over 2,600 people across two locations.
If you'd rather make everyday edits yourself, that's fine too. Tell me up front and I'll build your site on a platform with an editor your team can use, including Wix.
Common Questions
Website design questions
What platform will my website be built on?
Whatever fits your business best. Most clients never think about the platform after launch. You're hiring a website that brings in customers, not a piece of software.
How long does it take?
Website design can take anywhere from 3 weeks up to 3 months. It completely depends on your project.
What do you need from me?
Your content, or a decision to have it written. Photos, or a decision to have them taken. The single biggest cause of delay on every project I've run is waiting on content.
Who makes changes after launch?
I do. Send me a text or an email and it gets done, usually the same week. If you'd rather make everyday edits yourself, tell me up front and I'll build it so you can.
Will my website be ready for Google?
Yes. Every site launches with the SEO foundation in place. If you want to keep climbing after launch, I also offer SEO services and local SEO plans.
Do you work outside Grand Rapids?
Yes. I'm based in Byron Center and work with clients nationwide. Local clients get in-person meetings if they want them; remote clients haven't found it to be a problem.
