Security notice: On October 21, 2026, PHP announced two critical vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) that can let attackers take over a web server without logging in. PHP powers a large share of websites worldwide, including WordPress. If your site runs on PHP, make sure your host updates to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35 right away. Read the official advisory. Not sure if you're affected? Email me and I'll take a look.

One person, start to finish

The person you talk to on the first call is the same person who builds your site and answers your emails a year later, with 5+ years of web development and 8+ years in IT behind it.

More about me

Straightforward pricing

Clear starting prices, a written quote before any work starts, and no surprise invoices.

Local to Mid-Michigan

Based in Owosso. Happy to meet in person anywhere in Shiawassee County and the surrounding area.

What I build

A website that fits your business

Every site is custom designed, works on phones, loads fast and is set up so customers can find you on Google.

Single-page site

Starting at

$750

Everything on one page: who you are, what you offer, your hours and how to reach you. Good for new businesses, contractors and anyone who mainly needs to be found.

Most popular

Multi-page site

Starting at

$1,800

Up to five pages for businesses with more to show: separate service pages, a gallery, your team, a menu. Extra pages are $200 each.

Site overhaul

Starting at

$1,200

Already have a site that's outdated, slow or hard to use on a phone? I'll redesign and rebuild it, keeping your domain and the content that works.

Need more than a website? I also build self-edit dashboards (from $500) and custom tools like class booking and scheduling systems.

Pinnacle Tileworks

A custom tile and stone company needed a site that matched the quality of their work. The result is a dark, gallery-first design with real job photos, a materials guide and a simple way to book a consult.

Adjusted Elevation

A firearms training business needed a way to fill classes without juggling calls and spreadsheets. I built a custom booking system: students reserve seats online, and the owner creates classes, views sign-ups and manages students from a private dashboard.
