Any brand. Built by hand.
Rentals, restaurants, contractors, studios, personal brands. If you've got a business that should look better than it does, I build the website, the identity, and the content around it. Made by a person, not a template.
What's a website actually worth? Do the math.
It's not about looking pretty. It's the revenue you lose because people can't find you, or don't trust what they find. Plug in your numbers.
$12,000a year
That's new revenue a year from just 5 more customers a month. Even after your costs, a site that captures a slice of that has paid for itself many times over. No promises, just arithmetic.
Everything a business needs to be found and remembered.
Pick one thing or the whole set. It all gets made by hand: written, designed, and built by me, for you.
Websites & brand identity
A site that loads fast, works on a phone, and actually looks like your business. Logo, colors, and voice that hold together everywhere.
Photography
Real photos of your space, your team, your work. Great photography already in hand? I build around it. None yet? We get it shot. Never stock, never fake.
Video & social content
Short, sharp video for Reels and TikTok, plus founder-story films that make people care about your business.
Local visibility
Google Business Profile, reviews, and the local search basics, so when a neighbor searches, you're the one they find.
Direct-booking sites for short-term rentals
Turn your Airbnb listings into a brand of your own: a booking site that recaptures the 15.5% the platform takes on every stay, and a guest list that books you direct next time. Keep Airbnb for discovery, own everything after.
At that rate, Airbnb's 15.5% fee takes $6,200 a year. A direct channel wins it back, one repeat guest at a time.
No promises, just the arithmetic. We track what it produces every month.
The work, three ways.
Most projects are some mix of these. Take one piece or the whole thing.
