Digital Front DoorLet’s talk about your site

You’re better
than your
website.

Let’s bring it up to your standard. I build websites for businesses and churches that need to look the part and make it easier for people to get in touch.

Designer & developer

Hi, I’m Elijah.
I’ll be building
your website.

You won’t have to explain your business to an account manager, then explain it again to a designer. We’ll talk, figure out what your site needs, and work through it together.

I care about the small things: the photo that actually feels like your business, the question a new customer is afraid to ask, the phone number they shouldn’t have to hunt for.

Tell me what you have in mind

What I can take off your plate

The websiteCustom design, page structure, mobile layouts, contact forms, and the build itself.

The detailsSorting out your content, connecting your domain, and setting up the tools your customers need.

The upkeepHosting, content changes, and someone to call when something needs attention.

“He’s easy to work with and he really listened. The look is clean and clear and says exactly who we are.”

Let’s see what
your site needs.

You don’t need a polished brief.
An old website and a few ideas will do.

  1. 01

    Send me the basics.

    Your business, your current site, and what you wish it did better. Starting from scratch is fine, too.

  2. 02

    I’ll put a plan together.

    You get a recommended direction and the pages and features worth building. If we’re a good fit, I’ll quote the project.

  3. 03

    We build when you’re ready.

    We agree on the cost and scope first. Then you’ll review the design with me before anything goes live.

A few things
you might be asking.

What does a website cost?

That depends on how much we’re building. After we talk, I’ll send a written scope with the cost of the site and any hosting or ongoing support. You’ll see the numbers before agreeing to anything.

What do I get with the free plan?

I’ll look at your business and your current website, if you have one. You’ll get my recommendations for the pages, content, and features you need. It’s yours to keep, whether or not we work together.

Can I keep my domain?

Yes. We can use your existing domain and keep any content that’s still useful. I’ll help with the technical side of moving to the new site.

Who takes care of updates?

I can. We’ll agree on hosting, updates, and support as part of the project. You’ll have a direct line to the person who built your site.

Do you build church websites, too?

Yes. Churches and ministries are a big part of my work. We’ll organize your site around what a first-time visitor needs to know, alongside the information your church family uses each week.

Tell me about
your business.

I’ll take a look and get back to you with my thoughts on your website. No sales presentation to sit through. Just a useful conversation about what you need.

You’ll get a recommended direction, the pages and features to focus on, and a way forward. The plan is free; the website build is quoted separately.
