Websites for local businesses
In a second they decide.
I rebuild your site so the decision goes your way.
Customer clicks don't lie.
It's not about taste, it's about numbers. Before they read a word, they've decided whether you look like a business they'd trust. These are the numbers behind that decision.
45% said a business without one feels "less real".

The part that makes it easy
— new customers a year and a Standard site has paid for itself. That's one every 5 weeks.
Built to be judged in 50 milliseconds and pass.
You just saw what a dated site costs. Here's what a current one looks like. Nothing changed, all the information is the same. Just the first impression hits different. Tap the Before to see what each started with.
Dermatology practice
A well-regarded practice whose site still linked to Google+ and had no opening hours anywhere. The rebuild was a complete makeover: professional photography, an automated scheduling link built into the new site, and all patient paperwork streamlined online. Giving it the quiet, unhurried feel a clinic of this calibre should have.

Surfboard repair
A thriving shop with 22 years, dozens of five-star reviews and a website where four of five menu links returned an error page. Complete rebuild: photography from local surfers, one clean page with repairs, an estimate button, and a language toggle for visiting surfers.

Vintage retail
One of the most photographed storefronts on Oʻahu, with a website that had been quietly hacked to advertise 14 online casinos — plus a glowing review of a betting site, in Azerbaijani. A complete rebuild with professional photography, Japanese and Chinese language toggles for tourists, a grid of its own for the racks, and every address and phone number a single tap.

Custom builds
The plans above are built on layouts I've refined and proven. If you want a site designed from a blank page, with animation, interactive pieces, a separate mobile design, or a brand built from scratch, that's a custom build. It takes longer, and it's priced for the attention it gets.
From $3,000, quoted after a conversation.

For a decade I did 12 hour shifts, held human lives in my hands, and I still have a habit I can't switch off: noticing the small things.
I left the bedside, but I kept the habit. It turns out a website is similar to a patient. You look at the whole thing, you find what's quietly hurting it, and you fix that. Creativity was always the other half of me: photography, painting, colors, art design, and building things. So I taught myself to build websites the same way I learned to run a code: study it till it's second nature, then do it under pressure till it's clean. The sites above are what that looks like. Every one was built from a real business's own information, rebuilt to be trusted in under a second.
It's a wonderful trade-off. I get to use my creative, logical side without the burnout of holding hands with patients and their families while their loved ones die.
There's no agency behind me. I'm the person who answers at nine at night. You text me the new hours and they're up the same day. When something's wrong before a holiday weekend, I'm the one who picks up. There's no sauce to get lost in. I don't want to be a massive company. I want to build what I need to maintain my life and pour what I have into the people who trust me with their sites. A big thank-you for choosing me, so I can leave the hospital and do what I love: being creative, and helping your business along the way, just like I got to help my patients.
