The short answer
I build custom first websites for small businesses that don’t have one yet, or only have a Facebook page. Copywriting is included. Starter websites are $750 and usually go live in 1 to 2 weeks once your content, access, and feedback are ready. Larger sites cost more and take longer.
Who this is for
Local businesses that do good work but don’t have a website they can confidently send customers to.
- Your business has no website.
- Your online presence is a Facebook page or a directory listing.
- Customers keep asking questions a website could answer.
- You want a professional home for referrals, search traffic, and future marketing.

What you supply
- Accurate details about your services, service area, hours, and contact information.
- Your logo or brand colors, if you have them.
- Real photos of your work, team, or location. If you don’t have any, I can take them for you ($100, plus $2 per mile one way for travel outside Lebanon).
- A domain you register yourself, with me added as a manager on the account (I’ll walk you through it).
- Quick feedback and final approval on the copy and design.
What I deliver
A page plan
Which pages you need, what each one covers, and what visitors should do next on each.
Draft copy
I write the words from what I learn about your business. You check the facts and approve the wording.
A custom design and responsive build
Designed for your business rather than dropped into an industry template, and checked on phones, tablets, and desktops.
An inquiry form and launch checks
A contact or quote form that delivers to your email, plus search-ready titles, a sitemap, and a final review of links and forms before launch.
See a finished example in the Keller Films case study, and every step from first call to launch on the process page.
Cost and timing
New websites use three tiers: Starter $750 (up to 5 pages), Standard $1,250 (up to 8 pages), and Custom $1,600 (10 or more pages). If you don’t have your own photos or video, I can provide on-site photos for $100 and a homepage hero video for $100. Privacy and terms pages don’t count toward the page limit. Your written quote confirms the tier and price before any work starts. Full details are on the pricing page.
A Starter site usually takes 1 to 2 weeks once your information and feedback arrive. Larger tiers take longer. After final payment you own the finished website. Every site is hosted through Mid-Mo Web Co. and requires the $100/month care package, which includes unlimited ordinary updates. You register and pay for your own domain and add me as a manager on the account.
The website should make it easy for customers to see why they should call you.
