Website Overhaul

A website that loads fast and gets found.

Most of what I do is operational software, but a lot of Maine businesses have the same problem one step earlier: a website that is slow, hard to read on a phone, and invisible on Google. It is usually the cheapest thing on this site to fix.

Same rules as everything else — flat price agreed before I start, a clear finish date, and you own the site and the domain when it is done. No monthly fee to me, ever.

The usual signs

Any two of these is worth a rebuild.

✗It looks wrong on a phone, and most of your visitors are on one
✗It takes several seconds to load, so people leave before it appears
✗You cannot find yourself on Google for what you actually do
✗Nobody can update it without calling whoever built it
✗You are paying a monthly fee and are not sure what for
✗It still lists a service you dropped or a person who left
✗There is no clear way for a customer to actually contact you
✗It was built years ago and no longer matches the business

Two ways to do it

Both are a flat price agreed before anything starts.

Most common

Full rebuild

A new site, built from scratch around what your business actually does now.

$2,500~2 weeks

Flat price · no monthly fee to me

  • Up to six pages, written with you
  • Built mobile-first, because that is where your visitors are
  • Set up to be found for what you do and where you are
  • A contact route that actually reaches you
  • Hosting and domain set up in your name
If the bones are fine

Refresh

Keep the site you have and fix what is holding it back.

$1,200~1 week

Flat price · no monthly fee to me

  • Made to work properly on phones
  • Load time cut, usually by a lot
  • Out-of-date content corrected
  • Search basics fixed so Google reads it properly
  • Contact and phone made obvious on every page

This site is the example. It is a lightweight static website built without plugins or a page builder. It loads quickly, works cleanly on phones, and can be maintained by any competent web developer. That is what I would build for you.

What is always included

No add-on list and no surprises after the fact.

  • Your domain and hosting set up in your name, not mine
  • An email address at your own domain
  • A secure certificate, so browsers do not warn visitors
  • Set up for Google Business Profile and local search
  • The files handed over, so any developer can pick it up
  • Hosting usually runs $0 to $20 a month, billed to you at cost

Send me your site and I’ll tell you straight. If it only needs a refresh I will say so, and if it is fine as it is I will say that too. No cost and no obligation.
