Get online for the first time

No website yet? You're exactly who I built this for.

Plenty of great businesses run on word of mouth and a Facebook page. That works, until someone new to town searches for what you do and finds your competitor instead, because you're invisible on Google.

Getting online involves a pile of fiddly pieces: a domain name, hosting, a website, a Google Business Profile, a professional email address. None of it is hard, but nobody ever explains it without jargon.

I set up the whole pile for you, then walk you through it at your kitchen-table pace. When we're done, you're online and you understand what you own.

What's included

  • Your own domain name (yourbusiness.com), registered to you
  • A simple, handsome website with your hours, your story, and your phone number
  • Google Business Profile set up so you appear on Google Maps
  • Professional email (you@yourbusiness.com)
  • One plain-English walkthrough of everything, plus a booklet to keep

Frequently asked

I'm not good with computers. Is that a problem?

Not even slightly. My favorite clients are the ones who tell me this up front. Everything gets explained in person, in plain words, as many times as it takes.

What does it cost to keep a website running?

Typically $10–20/month for hosting and about $15/year for the domain, paid straight to those companies. No markup from me. I'll show you exactly where every dollar goes.

Can't my nephew just do this?

Maybe! If he does, I'll happily be the backup plan. But sites built as favors tend to stall when the favor runs out, and then nobody knows the passwords.

Not sure which of these you need?

Tell me what's bugging you about your site, or that you don't have one yet. I'll sort out the rest.
