Website Development
Small, fast sites that YOU own. Static pages, no CMS subscription, no platform deciding what your content looks like next year or how much they’ll charge you. Best for simple, single or multi-page sites with limited interactivity, but let’s discuss your needs if they are more complex.
What a project looks like
- Design - layout, type, and color built as a small system, not a set of one-off pages. I can build a new identity, or faithfully re-create what you already have.
- Build - static site (Astro, Jekyll, or similar), responsive and fast, light and dark modes
- Content workflow - write in markdown or publish using a cloud-based CMS admin (Keystatic or similar)
- Deploy - I can host (GitHub Pages or Vercel) with a domain and analytics wired up, or I can hand over everything and walk you through deploying on your own.
- Handoff - the design and code is yours, documented well enough to keep going without me, but I’ll never leave you hanging.
If you don’t know what any of this means, don’t worry. It’s not complicated and I’ll guide you through all of it.
Examples
- EHS Music Boosters - a website and brand identity for a band and choir parent group.
- EHS Fine Arts Hall of Fame - a landing page with nomination form submissions.
- Masen - a website for an industrial data services company.
- Human Crafted - this site, including its e-commerce shop.
- Super Simple Signup - the website and brand for a signup sheet app with no accounts or ads.
- Synth Patch - the website and brand for an app that saves synth patches.
Good fit for
Studio and portfolio sites, non-profits, product one-pagers or launch pages, documentation, and small business sites that need to stay fast and stay cheap to run. If you need e-commerce let’s discuss.
What it costs
| What | Price |
|---|---|
| One page | $750 |
| Up to five pages | $1,500 to $3,000 |
| Keeping it running | $100 a month |
The price depends on how much design and content is new, and it’s fixed before I start. If you run the site yourself, hosting is typically free or a few dollars a month. Or I can keep it running: hosting, the domain, updates, and your Google and Apple listings, with up to 30 minutes of small changes a month. Bigger changes get their own price. Cancel anytime, and the site stays yours.
