No. 02: The flow

Pilot first.
Then you decide.

Most web designers ask you to pay first and hope it turns out well. I flipped that around.

  1. Tell me about your business.
    A short email or a ten-minute conversation is plenty. I'll research your business, your competitors, and what customers in Transylvania County actually search for.
  2. I build you a complete pilot site, free.
    Not a sketch or a mockup. A real, working website you can open on your phone, click through, and show your spouse. It costs you nothing to look.
  3. You love it, or you don't.
    If you love it: $399 flat, and it's live on your own domain within a week. If you don't: no hard feelings, no follow-up calls, no chasing.
No. 03: The alternatives

Three roads to a website.
One is shorter.

An agency
$5k–$30k
  • Months of meetings
  • An account manager you've never met
  • Offshore developers you definitely won't
  • A retainer that bills whether you use it or not
A template builder
$15–40/mo forever
  • Looks like a dozen sites you've already seen
  • Drag and drop until your fingers bleed
  • Hidden upgrade fees for the nice features
  • Still your job to design it

No. 05: Fair questions

You're probably
wondering…

You're really 14?

Yes. I'm homeschooled in Brevard and I've been building websites for over a year, 47 of them so far. I won't pretend the age thing isn't unusual. That's why I work pilot-first: you judge the work before you spend a dollar, not my birthday.

Why is it so cheap?

Because my costs are low and I'm building a reputation, not a margin. No office, no payroll, no ad budget. $399 is real money to me and a fair price for you. The agencies charging $10k are paying for things that have nothing to do with your website.

What if I don't like the pilot?

Then you say "no thanks" and that's the end of it. No invoice, no follow-up sequence, no guilt. The pilot is my cost of earning your attention.

Who handles the money side?

My mom, Micah. I'm a minor, so she signs the agreements and handles payments. You'll deal with me for everything about your website, and with her for the paperwork.

Want me to build you a pilot?

Tell me a little about your business. I'll build you a complete pilot site you can click through before paying anything, and you decide if you want it. No charge to look.
