About
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.
Portfolio
Each card opens a live demo — small business sites for auto repair, mobile mechanics, concrete contractors, convenience stores, restaurants, retail, and a luxury fragrance catalog, plus Study Hatch, a learning platform I built and run.
A single-scroll page with headline, story, and contact. Good fit for coaches and creators.
Features, offers, and a clear buy path for one main product or service.
Menu, hours, location, and clear order or visit buttons. Built for phones first.
Schedule, speakers, and sign-up for workshops, fundraisers, and openings.
Story, proof, pricing, and sign-up for apps and subscriptions.
Multi-category storefront with discovery quizzes, signature collections, and a calm checkout path for a fragrance lifestyle brand.

Live learning platform with AI chat and multiplayer. Piloted in two school districts.
Services
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.
01
Sitemap, page goals, and clear messaging so visitors know where to go.
02
Layouts that read well on phones first, then scale up cleanly for desktop.
03
Hand-built pages, fast to load, and code another developer can pick up.
04
Calls, short forms, booking links, and a clear next step on every page.
05
Titles, meta descriptions, and on-page hygiene. No ranking guarantees, just a solid baseline.
06
Walkthrough of the live site, domain and hosting guidance, and a clean handoff. Launch details and final approvals arrive by email.
07
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
A short summary of my background and the contract.
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.

Pricing and payments
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
USD $799.99
One-time, for the agreed scope.
Optional SEO setup: $99.99. Titles, meta, on-page basics. No ranking promises.
Hosting plan (required): $20 per month or $200 per year (save about $40 vs. twelve monthly payments). Billed by invoice after launch; choose one in the project form.
Most sites ship in 7 to 14 days when:
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.
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.
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
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.
