How much does a small business website cost in the Ohio Valley?
My prices are on this page, not behind a call. A fixed price in writing before I start.
The first visit is free: 30 minutes at your place. You leave with the first three things I’d fix. No obligation.

Questions.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain is registered to you, and you keep every password. If you ever leave, the site goes with you.
Is there a monthly fee?
Only if you want me to keep it running: hosting and care start at $40 a month. The build itself is a one-time price.
Can you fix the site I already have instead?
Often, yes. Edits to a site you already have start at $150, Wix included, and a refresh starts at $550.
Do you build sites for businesses in Wheeling and Steubenville?
Yes. I work out of St. Clairsville and come to you anywhere in the Ohio Valley, on both sides of the river.
