Building Simple, Yet Effective Websites for Small Businesses & Non-Profits.
No cookie cutter templates. Custom design to highlight your business above the rest. Let’s turn your dream into a reality.
About Me
Hello! I’m Steve.
I have worked on websites and graphic design for 10+ years. Some of it out of necessity as being a staff member with nonprofits and others through friends with small businesses who were tired of paying for overpriced services with little updating and a lack of customer service. I enjoy graphic design and using it to inform and inspire others to action. I approach the process from a user/customer experience and apply my learned skills to accomplish the technical requirements.

Website Design & SEO
It’s about clarifying and showcasing your skills and services so others know what you offer. A website helps them decide if it’s what they are looking for. Answering questions on a website such as services, location, current deals and contact information increases real leads and saves you time.
Custom Website Design
Custom website services from big marketing firms are expensive. And they aren’t always responsive for changes. Many small businesses and non-profits aren’t looking for complex solutions. They (like you) want a web design that works, is up-to-date, and doesn’t look like a cookie-cutter template.
Content Strategy & SEO
Being seen online must include Search Engine Optimization (SEO). When people search online for local products or services, you want your business to be on the top 5. Services like Google and Microsoft scan the internet looking for relevant and clear information in images, links, content, and headings. I make sure these services know what you’re all about.
Desktop & Mobile Responsiveness
60% of people will find your business while searching from their phone. It’s important for your website to be up to date and responsive to the latest technology.
Website Hosting & Maintenance
You and your potential customer value time. Long page load speeds and confusing content reflects poorly on your business. Protect your brand by making sure your pages load quickly and the website is easy to navigate. People tend to want key information in no more than 2 page clicks.
Hosting Provided
Not all domain hosting is the same. When there’s an issue or the site is down, you want quick customer support without going through multiple Do-It-Yourself steps to resolve. I provide hosting through Flywheel (part of WP Engine – the most trusted WordPress hosting platform in the world). It’s affordable with Free SSL and dedicated server space.
On-going Support
DIY web platforms like Wix, Weebly, Squarespace, and GoDaddy can provide cheaper alternatives, but building a website is not that simple. Picking a template and adding some pictures is a tiny fraction of what is needed. And let’s face it, you’re busy enough as a business owner.
Maintenance & Updates
Any website requires maintenance to ensure functionality and security. I will monitor your site monthly and provide reasonable updates and changes throughout the year.
The Process
Define
Reach out through the contact form and I’ll touch base to see if I’m a good fit for your needs. If so, I’ll send along a questionaire to get a better sense of your business, goals, and style.
Design
Once we agree on terms, I’ll begin designing a custom and simple site that meets your directives. I’ll share the design with you along the way to make sure we are heading in the right direction.
Build
It will normally take 30 days to build out the necessary pages. Real photos and personal content are best when showcasing your business or non-profit. Gathering those might extend the process.
Launch
After the pages are built and items verified, we are ready to activate the site live. Promote your new website on social media and on other marketing materials. I’ll continue working on SEO.

Boxborough Vitality, Chiropractor
Dr Evan Hughes – “A few years ago I moved my office and nobody could find me, and nowadays people just ‘move on’ to the next easy thing faster than ever. He listened closely to how my business works, asked for some basic content and built a website that brought us a consistent flow of new patients. Over the years of working with him, we’ve made modifications and additions to the site. He Always seems up on latest google trends, SEO methods and has an understanding of how people search and think. Today, we not only use the website to be found, it also helps us with intake paperwork and convey information to our current patient base. Do yourself a favor and hire this man.”

Pricing Options
I’m upfront about the price and the process. Just like your business, there’s a price for “materials”, time and skill. A typical website will have 5 – 10 pages and can be “live” online in a month. Additional fees per page will be necessary for websites requiring more than 10 pages.
Typically, I create websites from scratch. If you have an existing site and are wanting it updated, just know that there are often issues trying to work with what someone else built and there could be copyright issues from the prior creator. It’s often easier and better to build a new site with similar existing content. We’ll make sure your site is modern and effective.
I can’t do it all. I can’t provide e-Commerce, Ad-marketing, Pay-per-Click Management, Analytics, Conversion Rate Strategy, or API database development. I work with small businesses and non-profits who want a simple, modern, and effective website.
