Spend less time managing your website and more time actually running your business. petting your cat. eating a cupcake. onstage where you belong. in bed by eleven.

If you sell something, book something, or perform somewhere — yes. I build for small businesses, nonprofits, and performers: a shop, a practice, a company, a person with a name that needs somewhere to live. What they have in common is that they have better things to do than click furiously at Wix. And it makes no difference where you are — I have never met a client in person.

Because Squarespace sells you the tools and then you are the web designer. You pick the template, you fight the layout, you write the words, you crop the photos, and when the hours change on a bank holiday it is still you, at eleven at night, hunting for the right panel. It is cheaper on the invoice and it is not cheaper.

Here you email me and it is done. You do get an editor — it’s a good one and it’s yours — but nobody is handing you an editor and calling that the service. The service is that I built the thing and I keep it working. That is the whole difference, and it is the reason the price is what it is.

Because at that price I’d do it badly, and doing it badly is worse than not offering it. The Cupcake is a website you keep current: you get the editor, it’s yours to drive, and I answer questions. The Birthday Cake is a website I keep current, and that difference is most of what the price is.

If you find yourself wishing you could just email me, you’ve outgrown it. Say so and we’ll move you up — there’s no term to wait out.

You get a real website as a free sample at a private link. A website that you can really click, tap, and scroll. I give you a real page because it’s the only way to judge if I’m any good.

If you have a clear vision, I’d say within 24–72 hours. If you need some help getting there, I’ll help you along.

Email me your existing logo, links to your social media, or your old website. The best case scenario is if you share a Google Doc with me that already has what words you want to put on the website. I’m your tailor, not your writer.

You email me. That is the entire support system — no ticket queue, no chatbot, no portal to log into, no support tier to upgrade yourself into first. It reaches me, not a team. From the Birthday Cake up, most requests are handled within 24 hours; on the Cupcake I answer within three business days. I love a client that comes at me with a concept.

Yes, and you don’t have to haggle for them. Nonprofits take 15% off any plan and keep it for the life of the plan. Say so when you write to me and it’s done.

Paying for the year at once gets you two months free — the switch above the prices shows you both ways. That is the whole list. The price on the page is the price, nothing on it expires, and there is nothing to wait for.

Nothing dramatic, and nothing you have to fight your way out of. There is no minimum term and no cancellation fee — email me, and it stops at the end of the period you’ve already paid for. You keep your domain and a clean export of your content, and the site stays up for another 60 days after that, so nothing vanishes the day you change your mind.

You own your domain and every word and picture in it. You do not own the code, and that is deliberate: not charging you four thousand dollars before I start is only possible because I keep what I build. If you want it outright, say so and we’ll price it the old way — up front, like everyone else does.

Yes, from the Birthday Cake up. Products, a cart, a checkout, and it looks like the rest of your site rather than like a widget somebody dropped in. Underneath it’s Stripe, Snipcart, Ecwid, or Shopify — I pick whichever suits what you’re actually selling, set it up, and keep it running. Their transaction fees are theirs. The build and the upkeep are in your monthly price.

Already selling somewhere and happy there? I’ll wire that in instead and style it to match. Either way you don’t administer anything.

Yes. You get Sveltia CMS at your own address, for the things that move — words, prices, hours, dates, photos. You only get the fields I put there, so there’s no layout to wreck and nothing to break. On the Cupcake that is how the plan works. On the Birthday Cake and up it is there and you never have to open it.

From the Birthday Cake there’s also an agent you can chat with in Telegram or Matrix: ask it what changed, ask it to change something, ask how last month went. AI is experimental and it does get things wrong, which is why every version of your site is kept — email me and I’ll roll it back. And emailing me is still the main way in. It always will be.

If I’m not the right person to make your website, I’ll tell you. And I’ll point you at someone who is.

I love cinnamon buns.
