I build and look after websites for Corpus Christi businesses.

Anything from a simple site with your hours and phone number to online ordering and bookings.

I'm based in Corpus Christi and I build every site myself. You work with me directly from the first conversation through launch, and when you need a change later, you call the same number and reach the same person.

Gabriela's Seafood + Tapas

Rockport, Texas · Business build

A full site for a waterfront restaurant. It includes an administrator dashboard for the menu, events and messages, and reservation and online ordering buttons.

What I usually end up fixing

People search for the business and nothing useful comes up.

I build the site so Google can read it properly, and I set up your Google Business profile so you show up on the map.

The site is hard to use on a phone.

Most of your customers are going to find you on their phone, so that's what I design for first, and I make sure it loads fast.

Customers can't reach you after hours.

Every page has your hours and directions, a button to call you, and a form that goes straight to your email.

How it works

It starts with a phone call. You tell me about your business and what you need, and I'll ask a few questions. Within a couple of days I send you a quote in writing, and that's the price. It won't go up later unless you ask me to add something.

Half of it gets the work started. I build the site over the next one to three weeks, and you get to see the design and ask for changes before you pay the rest. Once you're happy with it, I put it live and keep it running for you.

Most sites take two to four weeks from the first call.

What it costs

You pay once for the build, and then monthly if you want me to host it and look after it. The prices below are where each build starts. After we talk, you get the exact price in writing before I start.

Questions

Who owns the site?+

You do. The site, the domain and everything on it are in your name from the start.

What if I leave?+

You take the site with you. I'll send you all the files and help whoever you go with next get set up.

Do I have to pay for everything up front?+

No. Half gets the work started, and you pay the rest after you've seen the design and you're happy with it.

Can the price change after I get the quote?+

No. The quote is the price. If you ask for something extra along the way, I'll quote that separately and won't start on it until you say yes.

Is the care plan required?+

No, you can host it yourself if you want. Most people would rather not deal with backups, updates and renewals, and that's what the plan covers. If you have one and want to stop, you can cancel any month and keep the site.

How long does a build take?+

Usually two to four weeks from the first call. A small site can be quicker, and an online store takes longer.

What if I already have a domain?+

You can keep it. I'll point it at the new site, so there's nothing new to buy and your email keeps working.

Can I edit it myself?+

On the Business build, yes. You get a dashboard where you can change your own text and photos and see your visitor numbers. Or just send me the change and I'll do it as part of your plan.

What if it breaks at 9pm?+

I have monitoring on every site I host, so I usually know before you do. If your site goes down, call me, whatever time it is.

Give me a call and I'll tell you honestly whether a new site is worth it for you.
