Website rescue & web design · Texas & beyond
Slow, broken, hacked, or abandoned by your last developer — I rescue small-business websites across Texas and get them earning again. And when you need a brand-new site, I build it to win customers. One designer, senior-level work, no agency overhead.
Two ways to work together
For sites that are slow, dated, broken — or just not working.
You don't always need to start over. I audit what you have, fix what's costing you customers, and modernize the rest — often in under two weeks.
For businesses that need a website that earns its keep.
A custom-designed, hand-built website — strategy first, template never. Built to load in about a second, look sharp on every screen, and turn visitors into calls, bookings, and sales.
The rescue, visualized
A demonstration rescue on a fictional business: same content, same brand — overhauled from stem to stern.

Proof, not promises
Two live sites, built end to end. Don't take my word for it — go kick the tires.
My own product
A live product I designed, built, and operate myself — real visitors, real revenue, and the same hand-coded craft I bring to every client project. No agency slideware: the site pays its own way and runs clean on every phone.
Client build · Houston, TX
A complete site for a Houston bookkeeping & back-office firm — services, credentials, and a consultation pipeline, all in the owner's voice. A Texas small business, built end to end and live right now.
How it works
Send me your site — or just your idea. You get a free 15-point checkup covering speed, mobile, SEO, and trust, with every finding explained in plain English.
A fixed price and timeline, in writing, within 48 hours. No hourly meter, no scope surprises — you know exactly what it costs before we start.
Rescue or new build, I do the work myself — hand-coded, mobile-first, tested on real devices — and share a live preview link so you react to something real.
We launch together, I train you on updates, and 30 days of support are included. The care plan keeps it fast, safe, and current after that.
Why hire me
Agencies route your project through an account manager, a strategist, a designer, and a developer — and bill you for every handoff. With me, the person you talk to on the first call is the person who designs, builds, and launches your site.
That means faster timelines, straight answers, and a website where every decision — from the headline to the load time — is made by someone who's accountable for the result.
Investment
Every project is quoted fixed-fee after a free discovery call. These are typical starting points.

A custom site, done right.

Your site, always handled.
Not sure which fits? Send me your current site — the 15-point checkup is free, no strings.
Questions
Most Signature Builds launch in 3–5 weeks from kickoff. Rescues usually wrap in 1–2 weeks. You'll get a written timeline before we start, and I hit it — delays on my side extend your support window for free.
Often, no. That's exactly what the Rescue is for — the free checkup tells you honestly whether your site is fixable or genuinely needs a rebuild. About half the sites I check can be saved for a fraction of a rebuild's cost.
Whatever serves the project: hand-coded sites for maximum speed, or WordPress / Webflow / Shopify when you need to edit content or sell products yourself. You own everything either way.
Yes — messaging is half of what makes a site convert. Every build includes copy shaping: I turn your expertise into headlines and pages that sell, and you approve every word.
I'll set up fast, affordable hosting in your name (typically $10–25/month) and connect your domain. You're never locked into me to keep your site online.
I'm based in Texas and most of my clients are here — but everything I do works remotely. If your business is elsewhere, the checkup, the quote, and the work all happen exactly the same way.
50% to book your spot, 50% at launch. Rescues under $1,000 are paid up front. Fixed quotes, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Let's talk
New build or rescue mission — tell me a little about your business and I'll reply within one business day with next steps (and a free checkup, if you have an existing site). Based in Texas, working with small businesses everywhere.
