I am building my first sites this summer.
Want yours to be the first case study? Tell me about your business and I will build a free preview within 24 hours.
A generic Cleveland small business website on the left, the same business rebuilt as a custom site on the right. Same content, same hours, same photos. The work is in everything else.
Four steps. No surprises. The clock starts after I have your business details.
I find your business.
I research your business, your neighborhood, your competition. By the time we get on a call I already know what your customers are searching for.
I build your site.
Custom design from scratch, mobile-first, in your voice. No templates, no stock photos that look like every other small business website.
You see it before you pay.
I send you a live preview link. You click around. You point at things to change. You only pay the setup fee after you approve the look.
We go live and grow.
Domain setup, SSL, Google Business Profile, schema markup. The monthly plan keeps the site healthy, fast, and current.
One setup fee, one monthly plan. The monthly plan is the same $10 no matter which tier you pick.
A handful of focused pages that cover the basics, built mobile-first.
+ $10/month for hosting and care
Most small businesses pick this. The right pages, in the right order, with room to grow.
+ $10/month for hosting and care
Fully customizable build. Whatever your business needs, designed and shipped.

Move the controls. The numbers update live. Industry comparisons are conservative midpoints from public agency pricing, Upwork averages, and platform fees. Actual quotes from agencies and freelancers are often higher.

I grew up here. I know the neighborhoods, the businesses, what works. I am not pitching from a city I have never been to.
Every site is custom, mobile-first, and built to last. No templates. No drag-and-drop. No generic small business website that looks like every other small business website.
The monthly plan keeps your site healthy, current, and fast. Cancel any time. The site is yours, the domain is in your business name.
Astro, Tailwind, GSAP, Framer Motion. The same tech as agencies charging five thousand dollars and up. Without the agency markup.
Real timeline. No hidden middle weeks. Scroll across to see how a Cleveland small business goes from a stranger in my inbox to a launched site.
Hand-written email to the business owner. No templates, no canned greetings. Real first name, real local detail.
I build a full preview of the site from public information before our first call. You see real work before you spend real money.
We swap photos. We change copy. We add the booking widget. The site bends around your business.
Domain registered in your business name. SSL provisioned. DNS pointed. Google Business Profile cleaned up.
Site goes live. Schema markup pushed. Sitemap submitted. The monthly plan starts. Calls start.
Free preview. No commitment. Takes 24 hours. You see a real site before you spend a dollar.
You found a button I hid.
I am Charlie. I built every part of this site myself, including this little reward for poking at things. Send me an email and I will build you a free preview of your site.
