Services people research before buying.
Anyone whose customers ask questions before they buy.

Pricing depends on scope. After a free audit I send a clear, fixed proposal — no vague hourly surprises. Most small-business projects fall into defined packages so you know the number up front.
Book a free audit. You tell me your website and main problem, I review it, and I send back a prioritized action plan. If it's a fit, we scope the work from there.
