Website Development

A Website Is a Business Asset — Not a Monthly Subscription

Today’s AI website builders promise speed and simplicity. That works for some projects — but for businesses that rely on their website, ownership, control, and longevity matter more.

I design and build WordPress websites that you fully own, with no platform lock-in. Your site, your content, your domain — built to evolve as your business grows, not reset when a subscription ends.

Every project includes thoughtful planning, custom design, and professional guidance — not just automated output.

What Website Development Is
(and What It Isn’t)

Website development is more than choosing a theme or stacking plugins. It’s the process of planning, designing, and building a site that reflects your goals, supports your content, and works reliably over time.

It isn’t shortcuts, page-count quotas, or locking you into tools you don’t control. Every site I build is custom, intentional, and designed to grow with your business — not fight against it.

The Website Development Process

We start by defining the foundation of your site.

This includes:

  • Project discovery and goals
  • Sitemap and page structure
  • Content planning and requirements
  • Technical setup and best practices

This phase ensures your website is clearly structured, scalable, and aligned with your goals before design begins.

Once the structure is set, we design and build your site.

This includes:

  • Custom design tailored to your brand
  • Block-based WordPress development
  • Responsive layouts for all devices
  • Performance, accessibility, and usability considerations

This build phase is iterative. We refine layouts and components to ensure the site looks great, works smoothly, and is easy to maintain.

Before launch, we prepare your site for the real world.

This includes:

  • Quality assurance and testing
  • SEO fundamentals and analytics setup
  • Content review and final refinement
  • Launch support and post-launch guidance

At launch, your site is stable, secure, and ready to grow — with hosting and initial support already in place.

What You Get with All Projects

  • Guaranteed Pricing
    You’ll receive a written estimate before work begins, and the final cost will match that estimate — no surprises.
  • 3-Year Warranty
    If anything I built stops working within three years, I’ll fix it at no cost.
  • Custom Design & Build
    Every site is designed and developed specifically for your project — not adapted from a template.
  • Clean, Maintainable Code
    Your site is built to be understandable, extensible, and future-proof.
  • Post-Launch Services Included
    Every website project includes a tier-aligned combination of hosting, initial support, and SEO services for the first year after launch. The specific services included depend on whether your project is scoped as Start, Grow, or Pro.

How Engagement Levels Work

Every website engagement falls into one of three general levels: Start, Grow, or Pro.

These levels reflect scope, depth, and the level of ongoing involvement that makes sense for your site. They also determine which services are included for your first year after launch.

I’ll help you choose the right level based on your goals, timeline, and budget — and you can always grow into a higher level later.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are some of the most common questions clients ask when considering a website project. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out.

AI website builders are a good fit for quick, low-stakes projects. They’re fast, affordable, and designed to get something online with minimal effort.

The tradeoff is control. Most AI builders tie your site to a monthly platform, limit flexibility as your needs grow, and leave long-term decisions — structure, content, SEO, scalability — entirely up to you.

I work with clients who want a website they own, control, and can grow over time, with professional guidance and accountability built into the process.


Yes. You fully own your website, your content, and your domain.

Your site is built on WordPress using standard, widely supported tools — not a proprietary platform. If you ever choose to move hosts, work with another developer, or manage the site yourself, you’re free to do so.

No lock-in. No subscriptions required to keep your site online.


After launch, you can continue with included hosting and support (depending on your project tier), or transition to a different setup if you prefer.

Many clients choose ongoing hosting and support so updates, security, and improvements are handled professionally. Others prefer to manage things internally or elsewhere.

Either way, the site remains yours.


Absolutely. Your website is designed to evolve.

Pages can be added, layouts refined, features expanded, and SEO improved over time — without needing to rebuild from scratch or switch platforms. This flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of a custom WordPress site.

As your business grows, your site can grow with it.


Yes. WordPress remains the most widely used and supported website platform in the world, powering everything from small business sites to large organizations.

It’s actively developed, highly flexible, and supported by a massive ecosystem of tools and professionals. Most importantly, it gives you long-term control and portability — not dependence on a single vendor.


Most website projects take 4–8 weeks, depending on scope, content readiness, and feedback timing.

Before any work begins, we’ll review goals, requirements, and timing so expectations are clear. You’ll always know what stage the project is in and what’s needed to keep things moving smoothly.
