Booking June 2026

Custom web design and development for Denver small businesses.

Restaurants, shops, salons, contractors, and other Front Range small businesses. Most projects launch in three to six weeks, starting at $2,000. You work directly with me. No agency layer, no template platforms taking a monthly cut.

What I build

A short menu.

Four kinds of projects, roughly. If yours isn't one of these, ask me anyway. I'm happy to say no if I'm not the right person.

  • Business websites

    A site that looks legitimate and helps customers find you

    For shops, restaurants, salons, contractors, venues, professional services, and any local business that needs a real online presence. Usually three to eight pages, local SEO baked in, mobile-first, with the calls, bookings, and contact forms wired up.

    Most projects $2,000–$8,000 · 3 to 6 weeks Start a project
  • Landing pages

    One focused page to drive a single outcome

    Campaigns, single-service launches, paid traffic, seasonal offers, or testing an idea before committing to a full site. Built quickly, easy to swap or kill if it doesn't work.

    From $1,500 · 1 to 2 weeks Get a quote
  • Redesigns

    Modernize what you have without losing what's working

    When your existing site is slow, dated, hard to edit, or doing more harm than good. I rebuild from scratch with modern code and migrate your content. Old URLs redirect cleanly so you don't lose search rankings.

    Most projects $2,000–$8,000 · 4 to 8 weeks Talk through the rebuild
  • Ongoing support

    A real person to call after launch

    Updates, content changes, hosting, Google Business Profile work, the WordPress migration you got dragged into. One hour of work each month plus monitoring of Search Console and Cloudflare. Hosting bundled in.

Proof

Recent builds score 98 to 100 on Google's mobile audit.

Fast, accessible, mobile-friendly, and built so you can update them without breaking anything. Fourteen years of engineering experience applied to small business sites that don't usually see it.

ARED Furniture Repair website, rebuilt

ARED Furniture Repair

ARED has restored furniture in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 1980. They were paying a design agency $200 a month for a site with seven broken links, a dead Facebook icon, and the wrong zip code on the contact page. I rebuilt it with a working portfolio, proper service pages, and a design that matches the quality of their craftsmanship.

Result: 75% cheaper monthly 0 broken links 100 accessibility


Process

From coffee to launch in three steps.

  1. Chat

    We talk through what you have, what's broken, and what the site needs to do. Coffee on Tennyson, video call if you're farther out. No commitment either way.

  2. Build

    I design and build the pages that matter, write or clean up the copy, and make sure the site is fast, accessible, and easy to use on a phone. You see progress as it happens.

  3. Launch

    We launch, redirect any old URLs, and make sure you know what happens next. Two-week check-in afterward to fix anything that's bugging you.


Also built

An industry-specific walkthrough.

I work with restaurants, shops, salons, contractors, photographers, pet care businesses, repair shops, and other local services across Denver and the Front Range. One industry has its own page so the specifics are easy to find:


FAQ

Common questions.

How much does a website cost for a small business in Denver?

The per-offering ranges are in the menu above (most projects $2,000 to $8,000, landing pages from $1,500). What actually moves the estimate within those ranges: how many pages, whether you need custom features like online ordering or RSVP forms or member areas, and whether you have copy and photos ready or need help producing them. Reach out and I'll send a straight number after a short conversation. No hidden fees.

How long does it take to build a website?

Usually 3 to 6 weeks from start to launch. A simple landing page might only take a week or two. Larger projects can take longer, but I keep you in the loop the whole time.

Will my website work well on mobile?

Yes. I build mobile-first, meaning the phone experience comes first, not as an afterthought. Over 60% of web traffic comes from phones, so your site needs to look good and load fast on smaller screens. I test on real devices.

Can you help my business rank on Google?

I bake SEO basics into every site: clean heading structure, meta tags, fast load times, mobile optimization, and structured data. For local businesses, I also handle Google Business Profile integration and local schema markup so you can show up in map results.

What's the difference between a template website and a custom-built one?

Template sites (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress themes) give you a pre-made layout that you fill in. They work for some businesses, but they're limited in speed, SEO, and design flexibility. A custom-built site is coded specifically for your business, loads faster, ranks better, and can do exactly what you need without fighting a template's limitations.

Do I need to provide content and photos for my website?

It helps if you have some photos of your business, team, or products, but I can work with what you've got. I'll write the website copy with you or for you based on our conversations. I know what works for web content and can help shape your message.

Are there hidden costs after launch?

No hidden costs. Beyond the standard hosting and maintenance plan, the only ongoing expenses are any third-party services you choose to add (online ordering, email marketing, analytics tools, etc.). I send a one-page handoff doc when the site launches so you know exactly what's running and what each piece costs.

Can you help with Google Business Profile setup?

Absolutely. For local businesses, your Google Business Profile is as important as your website. I'll help you set it up or optimize your existing one, connect it to your site, and make sure your business info is consistent across the web.
