Prefer a conversation?
I'm based in Thompson, ND. Text first is usually easiest, especially if you can send the current website or a short description of what is wrong.

A free working preview before you commit.
The more you tell me here, the better I can build one working preview page that addresses the real problem. The preview is for evaluation, with no obligation to agree to a full paid build.
Note: Free one-page previews are available for semi-static sites only. I no longer build new WordPress sites.
Common Questions
How long does a project take?
The free preview is one working evaluation page. I'll confirm its timing based on the scope and my available time. A full semi-static build is a separate paid project with its own agreed timeline. Work on an existing WordPress site is quoted by the job.
Do you require a deposit?
After the free preview, paid builds are half up front and half on completion, as set out in your written quote.
What if I don't like the preview?
No problem. The one-page preview is free and there's no obligation. If it's not what you wanted, we part as friends.
Can you help with my existing website?
Yes. I can handle updates, fixes, or moving your site to better hosting. More answers on the FAQ page.
