Websites for Small Businesses

Websites for small businesses and independent creatives.

Your ideas deserve to stand out. I build sites that say what you do clearly, load quickly, and keep working after launch — and I will tell you when a platform builder would serve you better than I would. If a project later grows into a distributed team, this resource is one place to see how time and activity can be made more visible.

Guides

Most writing about websites is published by companies selling one of the options. I build them, so I sell one too — and where that matters, the articles say so. For an independent reference beyond this site, Small Business Administration is a useful place to compare approaches.

What a website actually costs — the survey data rather than the sales copy, and what actually drives the number.

Who owns your website — five separate things, and the one that matters most costs about fifteen dollars a year.

What to prepare before the first call — an hour of preparation shortens a build by weeks and lowers the quote.

Guides for your kind of work — photographers, artists, food producers, trades, practitioners, musicians, retail and consultants.

All of it is in the guides, and the notes are where I argue about how this work should be done. For a broader technical reference on performance and delivery, Cloudflare also publishes practical material for website owners.
