Web design services

everything your website needs, in one place

From a single landing page to a full company site, I design every build from scratch around your brand, your customers and what you want them to do next.

custom website design

A one-of-a-kind look built around your brand, with no recycled templates. I choose the layout, color and type to make you memorable.

mobile-responsive builds

Your site looks and works right on every screen, from phones and tablets to laptops and big desktop monitors.

landing pages

Focused, single-purpose pages for a promotion, an event, a new service or an ad campaign, built to turn visitors into calls and sign-ups.

website redesigns

Outgrown your current site? I'll refresh the design, tighten the message and rebuild it so it finally matches the business you are today.

SEO-ready setup

Clean structure, page titles and descriptions, fast-loading images and Google-friendly basics, set up from day one so customers can find you.

hosting & maintenance

Launch is just the start. I can host, update and look after your site so it stays secure, current and running smoothly.

How it works

my process

Simple, clear steps, with updates the whole way so you always know where your site stands.

  1. 01

    discover

    I learn about your business, your customers and your goals, and look at what's working (and what isn't) online today.

  2. 02

    design

    I design a custom look and layout for your brand and refine it with your feedback until it feels right.

  3. 03

    build

    I build a fast, mobile-responsive, SEO-ready site and set up the pages, forms and content you need.

  4. 04

    launch

    I test everything, take it live and hand it over with clear instructions, plus hosting and care if you want it.

Why work with me

local roots, nationwide reach

  • Based in Northeast Ohio. I build brands out of Canton, Ohio, and I love working with local businesses.
  • Remote-friendly, anywhere in the US. Most projects run online, so wherever you are, we can build your site together.
  • Made for small businesses. Building big brands for small businesses is the whole idea, with work sized to where you are and where you're headed.
