Custom Website Design for Small Businesses
You didn’t start your business to blend in. Your website shouldn’t either.
Your website should do more than just exist. It should reflect your business, connect with the right people, and actually support your growth.

WORDPRESS HOSTING & MAINTENANCE
Keep your site running smoothly
Every WordPress site needs regular updates, backups, and security checks after launch. My monthly care plans take that off your plate, from simple maintenance to full hosting with hours set aside for updates.
- Essential Care: maintenance for sites hosted elsewhere
- Hosted Care: hosting and maintenance, all handled
- Hosted Care Plus: everything, plus monthly hours for changes
Not sure which fits?
Once I learn more about your business and what you’re looking for, I’ll provide a custom quote that reflects exactly what you need.
The Process
What's the process like?
1. Connect
You’ll reach out through my contact form, then we'll schedule a 15-minute discovery call so we can talk it through and see if we're a good fit. I start by getting to know your business, your goals, and the clients you actually want to attract.
2. Confirm
Once we've talked things through, you'll get a proposal with dates, pricing, and the number of feedback rounds included, so nothing's a surprise later. From there, you'll sign the contract and pay the deposit, and we're officially underway.
3. Create
First I’ll have you fill out your questionnaire and send over your content, then I start with a wireframe to lock in the structure before any design happens. From there I get to work and present the design, and we go through feedback together.
4. Celebrate
Once everything’s ready, your site goes live. You walk away with something you’re actually proud to send people to, built to be easy to update yourself, and I’ll walk you through making simple changes so you’re never stuck waiting on me.

Who I work with
I design websites for small business owners across East Tennessee, including Maryville, Knoxville, Alcoa, and surrounding areas, as well as clients across the U.S. Whether you’re a service provider, creative, contractor, or specialty retailer, I’ll design a site that reflects what makes your business worth choosing.
Web Design FAQs
Not sure which platform fits your business best?
Squarespace is an all-in-one platform that works well for small businesses that want a simple, low-maintenance site.
WordPress offers more flexibility and customization for growing businesses, blogs, or online stores.
Shopify is built specifically for e-commerce and is a great choice if selling products online is your main goal. It makes managing inventory, payments, and shipping straightforward while keeping your shop looking professional.
Showit is designed for photographers and creatives who want full control over how every page looks, and it pairs with WordPress for blogging.
I can help you choose the platform that makes the most sense for your goals, budget, and comfort level with ongoing updates.
Every website I build includes basic on-page SEO such as page titles, meta descriptions, and image optimization. These foundational steps help search engines understand your content and improve how your site appears on Google.
If you are ready to take your visibility further, I also offer an in-depth SEO package that includes keyword research, content planning, and local search optimization to help your business reach the right audience.
Yes. I offer monthly care plans for WordPress sites, whether your site is hosted with me or somewhere else. If you’re on Squarespace, Shopify, or Showit, I can still take care of updates and changes so you can stay hands-off. See my hosting and maintenance plans for what’s included in each.
Regular care keeps your site secure, fast, and worry-free so you can focus on running your business.
Absolutely. Every website I build is designed to be easy to manage, even if you are not tech-savvy. I’ll show you how to make basic updates like changing text or images, adding new pages, or uploading blog posts.
If you’d rather be hands-off, one of my care plans can cover ongoing updates so you can focus on your business instead of your website.
Yes. The design, the content, the images, and the files are yours from the day your site launches. Not after a contract term, not for as long as you stay on a plan. If you ever want to move your site somewhere else or bring it in house, you can, and I’ll hand over a full copy and help you get it set up.
Your domain is registered in your name, on your own account, and it stays that way. I’ll walk you through setup if you’re starting from scratch, but the account is yours.
That depends on where your site lives, and either way works. If you host with me, your site sits on a server I manage and that account is mine, though your website isn’t tied to it. If you already have hosting of your own, somewhere like Kinsta or GoDaddy, that account is yours outright and I just work inside it. Either way, if you ever decide to move your site somewhere else or bring it in house, you can, and I’ll help you pack it up. I want you to stay because the work is good, not because leaving is complicated.
Usually, yes. I work on sites hosted all over the place, from Kinsta to GoDaddy to servers I manage myself. If your current setup is causing real problems, I’ll tell you honestly. But I’m not going to make you move just because it’s easier for me.
This might be a good fit if...
- You hesitate before handing someone your website, or you skip it altogether.
- You're ready for a site that finally feels like an upgrade, not a patch job
- People find you on Instagram or by word of mouth, but never on Google.
- You started a DIY site builder, got halfway, and it's been sitting there ever since.
