Websites and apps for small businesses.
I'm Seth. I design your site, build it, launch it, and fix it when something breaks. I'm in Ohio and I work remotely with anyone across the country.
Two things I do. You get the whole price in writing before I start.
Websites, start to launch
Shops, trades, practices, portfolios, small storefronts. Built around how customers actually find you: phone, map, search.
Apps, prototype first
Build a clickable version, put it in front of customers, then commit the budget. It's a cheaper order of operations.
Every number above is a floor, monthly ones included. A bigger or more complicated site costs more to keep online. You get one fixed quote in writing before I start, and it doesn't move unless the scope does.
Intake
A call, no charge. What the business does and who you need to reach. I leave with enough to price the job properly.
Blueprint
Sitemap, page order, and what each page has to convince someone of. We settle it before any design happens. Structure is the expensive part to change later.
Design
You see finished screens with your words and your photos in them, not a template full of grey boxes. Two rounds of revisions are in every quote.
Build & test
I check how every page looks on a phone and multiple browsers.
Launch & keep
I move the domain, set the DNS, and run the migration. After that it stays patched, and when you want something changed you email me.
I'm Seth.
I design and build websites and apps from Ohio, mostly for small businesses. Sometimes a software idea that has to exist before anyone will fund it.
Small businesses usually get two choices. A template that looks like every other template, or an agency that quotes five figures and hands you a junior designer. I'm the third one. You work with the person doing the work, from the first call through every update after launch.
The process is slow on purpose at the start, because that's what keeps the invoice small: we settle the structure first, so I only build it once. When it's done, you own all of it.
Q1 How long does a site take?
Two to four weeks for a typical small business site, counting from the day I have your content. Copy and photos are the slow part, so I'll send you a specific list of what I need on day one.
Q2 What does "from $1,500" actually mean?
It's the floor: a handful of pages with your content, designed and built properly. E-commerce, booking, memberships, or custom integrations push it up. You get one fixed number before anything starts, and it holds unless you change the scope.
Q3 Do I have to buy monthly maintenance?
No. Take the finished site and host it anywhere you like, it's yours. Keeping me on means you email me about a price change instead of logging into a dashboard, but it's month to month and you can stop whenever.
Q4 Why start an app with a prototype?
Because $1,500 is a cheap way to find out you were about to build the wrong thing. A prototype is clickable enough to hand to a customer or an investor and watch what they do with it. If it survives that, the final build starts from something already tested, and I don't throw any of the prototype work away.
Q5 Do you work with clients outside Ohio?
Yes. The work is remote by default, and I'm on Eastern time. If you're near me, I'll come to you.
Tell me what you're building.
Rough ideas are fine. If it isn't a fit, I'll tell you fast and point you at someone better.
Things I build when nobody is paying me.
A market simulator, an offline transcriber, a scanner, a couple of calculators. Some are live, some aren't done. I try things here before a client's budget is involved.
