About
A simple process for owners who are short on time.
I'm Derek, a web developer with 2+ years of experience. I mostly work with small businesses. I have fair pricing, and you deal with one person from start to launch. During an active build, expect updates by email. That's how I share progress, previews, and approval requests.

What you get.
Seven parts, one scope: strategy through launch, plus optional help after. While your site is being built, Derek sends progress and previews by email so nothing gets lost in a text thread.
02
Mobile-first design
Layouts that read well on phones first, then scale up cleanly for desktop.
03
Clean development
Hand-built pages, fast to load, and code another developer can pick up.
04
Contact forms and CTAs
Calls, short forms, booking links, and a clear next step on every page.
05
SEO basics
Titles, meta descriptions, and on-page hygiene. No ranking guarantees, just a solid baseline.
06
Launch and handoff
Walkthrough of the live site, domain and hosting guidance, and a clean handoff. Launch details and final approvals arrive by email.
07
Hosting plan
Ongoing hosting is part of the package: $20/mo or $200/yr after launch. Monthly includes your first month free; invoicing starts on the schedule you pick in checkout.
Background & contract
How I work, and the contract.
A short summary of my background and the contract.
At a glance
I mostly build small business sites, and take on larger apps when the project needs it. I work in HTML , CSS , JavaScript , TypeScript , React , Next.js , Node , Tailwind and Vercel , and leave projects in a state another developer can pick up. I learn through a mix of courses (including Mimo) and real shipped work.
Certifications
Core web credentials.
Pricing and payments
One package, one total.
You review the site before paying. Once paid in full, it's yours. Optional add-ons are listed below. During your build, Derek keeps you updated by email — milestones, previews, and anything that needs your sign-off.
Business website package

One-time, for the agreed scope.

Timeline
Most sites ship in 7 to 14 days when:
- You answer questions quickly
- Copy and photos arrive on schedule
- Revisions stay within scope
If I don't hear from you for seven days, I may pause work until you're back. Please put approvals and changes in writing — usually by email.
Communication
Once your project starts, email is how we stay in sync. I'll send progress updates, preview links, copy questions, and approval requests to the address you use on the contact form.
Phone and text work for quick or urgent questions, but your inbox is the home base for the build. Keep an eye on it during the 7–14 day window so we don't lose momentum.
How to start
Use the contact form with your business name, city, page list, and examples you like.
More detail up front means fewer back-and-forth emails. I confirm the scope before work starts.
Payment options
Project inquiry
Tell me what you sell, where you're based, and what the site should do. I usually reply within one business day. Once we kick off, email is how I share progress such as previews and updates.
Quick questions
Quick questions, fast reply.
