Website Design & Development

Website Design & Development That Turns Your Reputation Into New Clients

I design and build websites for professional service firms that want more than a digital brochure. Strategy, design, and development are planned together, so your site earns trust quickly and gives the right people a clear reason to reach out.

Strategy-led structure

Your site is planned around who you serve and what they need to see before they reach out.

Custom design that builds trust

A professional look that matches the quality of your work, not a template that looks like everyone else’s.

Fast, accessible development

Built on the platform that fits your team, with speed, mobile performance, and accessibility handled from day one.

SEO and tracking built in

Search foundations and analytics are set up at launch

Google Reviews – 5.0 rating

Based in Illinois and serving clients across the United States

The Approach

Your website is the first meeting you never get to attend

Prospects judge you before they call

Before someone books a consultation, they’ve usually already looked you up. They compare you to other firms, skim your homepage, and decide within moments whether you seem credible, capable, and easy to work with. A dated or confusing site can lose that person before you ever know they existed.

A site that makes your case for you

I build sites that make a strong case on your behalf. That means a clear message about who you help, a structure that matches how prospects actually look for answers, and a design that feels as professional as the work you do. Every page points toward one obvious next step, whether that’s a call, a consultation request, or a form submission.

Everything it takes, handled in one build

The build covers everything it takes to get there: planning, custom design, development on the platform that fits your team, SEO foundations, speed, accessibility, and analytics. You get a finished system that’s ready to bring in inquiries, not a pile of pages to figure out later.

Referrals still check you out online

Even when a recommendation comes from someone who trusts you, the next move is almost always a quick search. If what they find doesn’t match the quality of your reputation, the referral loses momentum. A strong website protects the business you already earn and opens the door to clients who don’t know anyone in your network.

One person, one connected build

You work with me directly from the first call through launch. Messaging, design, SEO, and development are handled together, so nothing gets lost between a strategist, a designer, and a developer. You’ll see progress at each milestone, know the price before we start, and finish with a site you can update without calling anyone for help.

The Answers You Seek

Website Design & Development Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only build brand-new websites?

No. Brand-new sites are one part of what I do. I also redesign existing websites, update and modernize pages, build landing pages for campaigns and offers, fix technical problems, and handle ongoing maintenance. If your current site has a solid foundation, we may not need to start over. On our call, I’ll tell you whether a rebuild or a targeted set of improvements makes more sense.

Do I need to have my messaging figured out before we start?

No. Getting clear on who you serve and why clients choose you is part of the project. I’ll ask the questions that shape your messaging early on, so you don’t have to arrive with perfect copy or a finished positioning statement.

Is this just a new design, or something more?

It’s more than a new look. I plan your messaging, page structure, SEO foundations, and the path from first visit to inquiry as one build. The goal is a site that brings in consultations, not one that simply looks better.

I’m not technical. Will that be a problem?

Not at all. I handle the design, development, and setup, and I’ll walk you through how to make simple edits if you want to. You never have to troubleshoot anything or learn a page builder to work with me.

How long does a website project take?

A full website typically launches within 3 to 6 weeks of kickoff, with the first milestone live within 2 weeks. Smaller updates and landing pages are usually faster. The biggest factor in timing is how quickly content and feedback come back.

What does a website project cost?

It depends on the scope. Full client-acquisition websites generally range from $10,000 to $40,000. Smaller work like redesigning a few pages, updating an existing site, or building a landing page is priced lower, and ongoing maintenance is a monthly rate. After a short call, you’ll get a fixed price before any work begins.

Which platform will you build on?

I’ll recommend what fits your firm, whether that’s WordPress, Webflow, Wix Studio, Squarespace, or Shopify. The choice depends on who will update the site, what features you need, and how you expect to grow.

What if we’re not a good fit?

I’ll tell you directly. The first call is a 15-minute conversation to see whether I’m the right person for what you need, not a pitch.
