You Own Your Website From Day One
Most web designers host client sites on their own servers — which gives them leverage. Stop paying and you lose access. That's not how I work.
Your Hosting. Your Account. Your Control.
Your site lives on hosting you pay for, in your name, with your credentials. I never hold your site hostage. From the moment it's delivered, it belongs entirely to you — no asterisks, no ongoing relationship required.
No Monthly Fees. No Ongoing Dependency.
Pay once. Get a complete, professional website. No retainer, no maintenance package you didn't ask for, no invoices from me after delivery. The only recurring cost is your own hosting — typically under $10 a month.
Built by Someone in the Field
This isn't a general design shop that'll apply a generic template. I have a background in investigative work. I understand your clients, your credibility needs, and how to position you correctly in this specific community.
Everything You Need. Nothing You Don't.
One clean landing page with the depth of a five-page site. Every item below is included in the flat $500 fee.
Five-Page Depth in One Landing Page

What's Under the Hood
Every site I build includes these. Here's what each one actually means in plain English.
Smooth Scroll Animations
Sections glide into view as visitors scroll down the page, giving the site a polished, modern feel that signals quality.
Parallax Effects
Background images move at a different speed than the page as you scroll, creating a layered visual depth that makes the site feel dimensional and high-end.
Hover Effects
Buttons and elements respond when a visitor moves their mouse over them — a small detail that makes the site feel alive and interactive.
Image Galleries
Showcase your credentials, office, or team photos in a clean organized display that gives visitors a reason to trust you.
Contact Forms
Visitors fill out a form directly on your site and it goes straight to your email. No third-party accounts required on your end.
SEO Optimization
Built-in search engine visibility from day one — proper page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, and schema markup so Google can find and rank your site.
Mobile Responsive Design
Your site automatically adjusts its layout for phones, tablets, and desktops. No separate mobile version needed — it just works.
Fast Load Speed
Clean, hand-coded HTML with no WordPress plugins or unnecessary scripts. Pages load fast, which improves your Google ranking and visitor experience.
SSL-Ready
Built to work with SSL (HTTPS) so browsers don't flag your site as insecure. Most hosts provide SSL free, and it also improves your Google ranking.
Sticky Navigation
The nav bar stays visible as visitors scroll, so your contact link is always one click away no matter where they are on the page.

Visit Site →You Handle Your Own Hosting. That's the Whole Point.
When the hosting account is in your name, I have no leverage over you. If you ever want to stop working with me, hand the files to someone else, or make changes yourself — nothing stops you. The site is yours in every sense.
I recommend Hostinger for most clients — it's affordable, reliable, and straightforward to manage. If you already have hosting elsewhere, we can work with that. Options are always open to discuss.
Questions About Hosting? →Affordable, beginner-friendly hosting. Easy control panel. Reliable uptime. It's what I'd use if I were starting fresh today — and it's what I recommend to clients who need a straightforward setup.
Other hosting options available — just ask.
Straight Talk on How This Works
No legal jargon. Here's exactly what you're agreeing to when you hire me.
Full payment is required upfront before any work begins. No exceptions.
You purchase your own domain and hosting. I provide guidance — the accounts are in your name.
You provide login credentials to your hosting file manager once your account is set up, so I can upload the completed site.
One round of revisions is included. Submit one consolidated list of changes after delivery. I handle them at no extra charge.
Additional revisions beyond that are billed separately and quoted before any work begins.
You provide all content — your bio, services, contact info, credentials, and any photos you want included.
Reference sites are welcome. If you have a design you like, send it over. Your site will be inspired by it — not copied.
WordPress is not included in the standard package. This is clean HTML. WordPress is available as a separate custom quote.
14-day turnaround from the day I receive your hosting login and project details. Often sooner.
HTML only in the standard package. Fast, portable, and fully yours. No CMS lock-in unless you specifically request it.
Common Questions
Yes — completely. It lives on your hosting account, under your name, with your login. I have no access after delivery unless you invite me back in. You can move it, modify it, hand it to another designer, or leave it exactly as delivered. It's yours with no conditions attached.
Your hosting login credentials, any photos you want on the site, your contact information, your list of services, your background or credentials, and any design direction or reference sites. That's everything I need to get started. I handle the rest.
Pay the $500 flat fee, set up your hosting through the Hostinger link (or your existing provider), and send me your login credentials along with your project details. Work begins once I have everything in hand. The 14-day clock starts from that point — and I usually deliver faster.
Yes, and it's actually helpful. It gives me clear direction without a lot of back-and-forth. I'll build something original that captures the feel and style you're going for — not a copy, but clearly inspired by your direction.
One round of revisions is included. After I deliver the site, compile all your requested changes into a single list and send it over. I'll implement everything in that list at no charge. Changes requested after that revision round are quoted and billed separately.
Not in the standard package. The standard build is clean HTML — faster, simpler, and easier to maintain without knowing code. If you specifically need WordPress, contact me for a custom quote.
HTML loads faster, has no plugin vulnerabilities to patch, and requires zero ongoing updates from you. There's no WordPress update breaking your site at 2am, no subscription to a website builder, no dependency on a platform that might change its pricing. It's just a clean file on your server that works.
