Before you ask
How is hosting really free?
Static sites are just files, so I can host them on modern static platforms with generous free tiers. For most small business sites that means $0/month — you just keep your domain registered (usually around $15/year).
What's the difference between Static and WordPress?
A static site is hand-built and super fast, but you can't log in and edit it yourself — you send me changes. WordPress adds a content editor so you can update pages and write posts on your own. If you'll change content often, WordPress is worth the jump.
When would I need the Custom tier?
When you need real functionality: a web app, user accounts, custom integrations, dashboards, or anything beyond a standard site. Each one gets a private test copy, so every change is checked there before it reaches your live site. We scope and quote it together.
Do you work with other agencies?
Yes — that's the Agency Partner Program. You handle design and client relationships; I handle development under your brand. Great for overflow work or when you don't have an in-house dev. See the partner program
What are the ongoing costs?
For a static site, usually just your domain. WordPress needs hosting (I can manage it or you can). Custom apps have hosting costs based on usage. I'll spell out any recurring costs before we start.
Let's spread out a plan.
Tell me what you're building — a small site, a shop, or something custom — and I'll help you get there.
