No mystery
Pricing & how I work.
Stated up front so you can self-qualify before we ever talk. Well above a template freelancer, well below what an agency would quote you.
Most marketing sites land in the low-to-mid of their range; the top end is for larger page counts, custom design systems, or integration work.
How a project runs.
A real process, the same discipline an agency uses, run by one accountable person instead of a relay of coordinators.

Discovery & scope
Week 1We get clear on the goal. I write up the context, audience, brand, structure, pick the right tool for the job, and send a fixed-fee proposal with explicit scope, price, and timeline.
- 2
Design
Weeks 2–3Direction first, then full page comps you review. For larger jobs I bring in a trusted design partner; either way you see it before it gets built.

Build
Weeks 3–5The production phase. Fast, because I use the right tooling, but every decision gets senior judgment and a real review before it ships.

Launch
Week 5–6Performance pass to clear Core Web Vitals, QA, analytics and SEO checks, then go live.

Handoff or retainer
OngoingSites come with a walkthrough and docs so your team can edit and run them yourself. Stay on a support retainer if you want me in your corner.
The fine print, plainly.
Fixed-fee sites, hourly engineering
Website builds are quoted as a fixed fee up front. Engineering runs hourly or scoped. Either way, the terms are clear before we start.
No discounts, I resize scope
If the budget is tight, we cut scope to fit. Same work never drops in price.
50% to start, balance at launch
Simple milestone terms, stated in the proposal. Larger builds split into more.
Retainers are breakable
Month-to-month with notice on both sides. No hostage contracts.
