Website Services
A website is often the first technology decision a business makes, and the one it lives with longest. I bring the same practical consulting approach to every site: focused, mobile-friendly, low-cost to run, and fully yours.
Who I build for
I'm based in the Mid-Hudson Valley and build for local businesses and organizations, and for game and XR studios anywhere.
Inns, B&Bs, restaurants, wineries, breweries, and farms.
Menus, rooms, hours, and events that are easy to find on a phone, with links to your booking or reservation system.

Why I build differently
I build every site with Astro. It keeps your site fast and my prices fair.
Ready-made pages appear right away on any phone. I'll show you your current site's Google speed score, and your new one at launch.
Hosts like Cloudflare and Netlify serve pages like these for free, or for a few dollars a month on a busier site. Your domain is about $20 a year.
You own the code and the content, and you can move hosts anytime.

When Astro isn't the right fit. If your business already runs well on WordPress or another platform, switching may not be worth it. I'll tell you honestly on our first call.
Built to be found
I follow modern best practices so your website is easy for people, search engines, and AI tools to discover and understand.
Clear page titles, organized content, and the setup search engines need to list your site.
Your hours, services, and location are labeled so Google can show them right in the results.
Structured so tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers can read your site and describe your business accurately.
Quick on any phone, with simple analytics that show how visitors find you.
No one can guarantee rankings or AI mentions, but these steps give your site the best chance.
Add-ons
Update your page text, photos, news, and events yourself.
From $1,750
Add a checkout button, scheduling, or other tools you already use.
Quoted by platform
Optional add-on
A recognizable, consistent visual identity that makes a strong first impression, ready for your website and beyond.
After launch
Choose who makes the changes. Most small sites only change a few times a year, so there is no monthly plan required.
Send me what to change and I take care of it. A small update is a quick change like text, photos, or hours, about 30 minutes of work.
No monthly plan required.
Add a Content Editing Dashboard and change your text, photos, news, and events whenever you like, with no code and no waiting.
Included in Complete Presence. For frequent updates, it can cost less over time than paying per update.

Frequently asked questions
Packages are one-time project fees: Essential Presence is $1,500, Expanded Presence is $2,950, and Complete Presence starts at $5,500. After launch, you pay about $20 a year for your domain, and hosting is free or low cost.
My first 10 website clients get 10% off Essential, Expanded, or Complete Presence, in exchange for a short review and permission to feature their site. It doesn't combine with other discounts; if more than one applies, you get the bigger one. The offer ends after 10 projects.
Yes. Once your project is paid in full, your website, content, domain, and accounts are yours. You can move to another host or developer anytime.
A page about one service can answer exactly what people search for, like 'dog grooming in Kingston'. That helps Google and AI tools match you to the right searches. Expanded Presence has room for a page for each service you offer.
I check how your site works on phones, how fast it loads, how easily people find you on Google, your Google Business Profile and reviews, whether visitors can quickly tell what you do, and how easy it is to call, book, or buy. You get a short, plain-English report with what to fix first, in order, within 5 business days. The report is yours to use with any developer.
Yes. The Diagnostic works for any website, whoever built it or whatever it's built on.
Yes. A Content Editing Dashboard (from $1,750, included in Complete Presence) lets you change text, photos, news, and events with no code. The dashboard covers your page text, photos, and the content collections we set up for you, like news or events. The starting price includes 2 collections; more can be added, quoted first. New features or new kinds of pages are $125 an hour, quoted first. Or send changes to me, from $50 per update.
A small change that takes about 30 minutes, like new text, a photo, your hours, or fixing a form or checkout link. Buy 5 for $200 and use them within 12 months.
Most within 2 business days. Quick questions by email are always free.
No. Rough notes, your old site, and phone photos are a fine start. I polish what you have and draft what's missing. Copy changes are part of your revision rounds, so we get it right without surprise costs.
Astro sites load faster, have no plugins to keep updated, and hosting is free or low cost. WordPress needs regular plugin and security updates, and Wix and Squarespace charge a monthly subscription. Those platforms still make sense for some businesses, and I'll tell you if yours is one.
Most small businesses are on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or Webflow. If you're on one of these, I can likely move you to Astro and keep your content, branding, and the pages Google already knows.
Yes. Start with a $199 Website Diagnostic. I'll tell you honestly whether to fix what you have or rebuild, and if you choose a new website, the fee is credited toward it.
Essential Presence takes 2–3 weeks, Expanded Presence 3–5 weeks, and Complete Presence 6+ weeks. The timeline starts once your Statement of Work is signed and the deposit is paid.
