Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that's not listed here? Email me or book a call and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
You'll have a working demo in weeks, not months. From there, we refine it together until it's exactly what you want.
Yes. Every website or app has a simple monthly care plan that covers hosting, security updates, monitoring, routine support, and the operational work needed to keep it running.
Routine content updates are included with Website Care. That covers normal text, image, menu, service, event, and contact-detail updates. New pages, redesigns, integrations, custom features, and major rewrites are scoped separately before any work starts.
Just fill out the estimate form below. I'll need a basic understanding of your business, your goals, and any branding materials you have (logo, colors, fonts). Don't worry if you don't have everything ready — I can guide you through it.
Yes. I handle hosting as part of your monthly plan. I can also help with domain registration and DNS setup. Hosting is included in your monthly fee — domain registration costs are separate.
A lot more than just hosting. Your monthly fee covers your domain renewal, premium hosting infrastructure, Cloudflare security and DDoS protection, a dedicated transactional email provider for forms and notifications, SSL certificates, uptime monitoring, and ongoing security updates. These are real costs I absorb on your behalf — instead of you juggling multiple vendors and bills, you get one predictable invoice and I handle the rest.
Yes. My default recommendation is Google Workspace for real business mailboxes, Calendar, Drive, Meet, and reliable day-to-day email on your domain. It is $10/user/month, added to your monthly bill. Basic forwarding is available if you only need the simplest setup.
For most small business marketing sites, I use WordPress on managed hosting because clients already understand it and can edit content without custom training. For custom apps, dashboards, portals, and SaaS-style tools, I use a modern app stack built around Next.js.
Yes. Most marketing sites use WordPress, so you can update content yourself if you want to. If you would rather not touch the site, Website Care includes routine content updates handled for you.
A website is a marketing site — it tells people who you are, what you do, and how to reach you. A custom app solves a specific business problem — scheduling, inventory, customer portals, etc. Most clients start with a website and add custom apps later.
Yes. I use AI-assisted development to build faster and deliver more for less. I have 8+ years of experience building websites the traditional way — AI is a tool that accelerates my workflow, not a replacement for expertise.
You work directly with me — no middlemen, no handoffs between a project manager, designer, and developer. I'm the single point of contact from start to finish.
Flat, transparent pricing — no surprises. You'll see an estimate before we start, and we'll confirm the details together. No scope creep, no change orders, no surprise invoices.
I keep things simple — no collections agencies, no legal threats. If an invoice goes unpaid, I'll reach out a few times. If it stays unpaid, I'll disable your website until the balance is settled. Once you're caught up, everything goes right back to normal.
No. I'm a software engineer by trade with 8+ years of professional experience. I'm deeply invested in this work. There's a new wave of "vibe coders" who don't actually understand the code they're shipping — and eventually that's going to bite them and their clients. I write code I understand, I debug problems myself, and I stand behind everything I build.
My focus is on building websites, apps, and custom solutions. I can help with practical SEO, local search setup, and analytics basics as part of the build, but ongoing marketing campaigns are scoped separately.
Yes. Website forms and automated notifications are included. I use a dedicated transactional email provider for form and app notifications so those messages are handled separately from your day-to-day business mailbox.
Yes. Security is first and foremost in all my engineering decisions. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. I follow industry best practices for handling sensitive information — secure authentication, role-based access, and regular security audits are baked into every project.
Not at the moment — HIPAA compliance introduces a level of complexity that's tricky to navigate with my current stack. That said, reach out anyway and let's see if we can figure something out together.
