Custom web design

Custom Websites Built to Win More Customers

A good website does more than look tidy. It explains what you do, makes you look like a business worth trusting, and makes getting in touch effortless. That’s what I build — for businesses in Auburn, Opelika, and across Alabama.

What's involved

What goes into a website that actually works

These aren't add-ons or upgrade tiers. They're what I consider the baseline for a small-business website worth paying for.
  • A site built around your business

    Your services, your service area, the questions your customers actually ask. Not a template with your logo dropped into the header.

  • Mobile-first, not mobile-tolerated

    I design the phone layout first, because that's where most of your visitors are. Readable text, big tap targets, a number that's always one tap away.

  • Services explained plainly

    Each thing you do gets described in the words your customers use, so nobody has to guess whether you handle their problem.

  • Quote forms people finish

    Short, clear forms that work one-handed. Every extra field is a chance for someone to give up halfway through.

  • Lead notifications by text

    New submissions can text your phone the moment they arrive, so you can call back while the person is still comparing options.

  • Local SEO foundations

    Proper titles, descriptions, headings, service-area content, and business schema — the groundwork that helps you show up locally.

  • Pages that load fast

    Light pages that open quickly on a phone with two bars of signal, not just on office wifi.

  • Direct access to the developer

    You have my number. No account manager, no ticket queue, no explaining your business to someone new every time.

The real goal

Attractive is the starting point, not the finish line

Plenty of good-looking websites don’t bring in a single call. They look fine and say nothing. A visitor lands, can’t tell within a few seconds whether the business handles their problem, and leaves.

So I build around four things that decide whether someone contacts you or goes back to Google.

  • Explain

    Make it obvious what you do and who you do it for, in the first few seconds.

  • Trust

    Show real work, real reviews, and a real service area so you look established rather than anonymous.

  • Contact

    Put a tappable number and a short quote form within reach on every screen.

  • Convert

    Give every page a clear next step, and make sure the lead actually reaches you when someone takes it.

How a project runs

Six steps, and I handle the technical part

You shouldn't have to learn what a DNS record is to get a website. Here's the whole thing from your side of it.
  1. 01

    Discovery

    We talk about what you do, who you want calling you, and what's not working now. No charge, and no obligation to go further.

  2. 02

    Content and structure

    We settle what pages you need and what goes on them. I'll tell you what I need from you — usually photos, services, and service area.

  3. 03

    Design and development

    I build the real thing, mobile layout first. You'll know the price and rough timeline before this starts.

  4. 04

    Review

    You get a working link, not a flat picture. Click through it on your own phone, and send me changes in whatever form is easiest.

  5. 05

    Launch

    Domain, hosting, certificates, forms, and the technical setup are handled for you. You approve, and it goes live.

  6. 06

    Ongoing support

    I'm still here afterward. Changes, new photos, added services — you contact me directly and it gets done.

Good fit

Who this is for

Mostly local service businesses — the kind where a phone call is the sale, and where the owner is the one answering it.

Already have a site that just needs work rather than replacing? That’s a website redesign — often less work and less money than starting over.

  • Contractors, roofers, HVAC, plumbers, and electricians
  • Landscaping and pressure washing companies
  • Auto shops and other vehicle-related businesses
  • Restaurants and local food businesses
  • Professional services and offices
  • Owner-operated businesses running on a Facebook page
  • Any local business whose current site was built years ago
  • Businesses that want one person handling the whole thing

Let's talk about what your site needs to do

Tell me about your business and what you want the website to bring in. I’ll give you a straight answer on what I’d build, what it costs, and how long it takes — before you commit to anything.
