[01]Who it's for
Your current site is slow, outdated or not bringing in inquiries.
You're stuck with a bloated theme or page builder nobody dares to touch.
You're launching a new business or product and want to do it properly from the start.
Your website needs to connect with a web app, a login or a booking flow.
You want to edit text and images yourself without calling a developer.
Sound like you?

A business website has one job: getting the right visitors to reach out.
[03]Speed and SEO
Slow pages cost you both rankings and inquiries. That's why speed is a requirement from the first line of code.
Google uses page experience, including how quickly a page loads and responds, as one of many signals. More importantly, your visitors don't wait. A page that feels instant keeps more people reading and gets more of them in touch.
With Next.js, pages are built ahead of time and served fast, without the plugins and heavy themes that slow so many websites down. Images are optimized automatically, and fonts can be self-hosted, so you don't send data to third parties for no reason.
Measured and optimized before launch, not after.
Pages and headings built around what your customers search for.
A clear next step on every page and a contact form that's easy to fill in.
Redirects from old URLs, so you keep the rankings you already have.
[04]Process
A clear process with defined milestones.
20 minutes, free. We talk about your customers, your current site and what the new one needs to achieve.
We settle the page structure, content and design, and you get a fixed price and a timeline.
I build the site and show it on a staging site as we go, so you can review and adjust along the way.
Redirects, tracking and indexing get checked, and you get a walkthrough of how to update the content yourself.
Typical timelineWe agree on a timeline that fits the task

[06]Stack
The same stack this site is built with.
[07]FAQ
Yes. You get a setup where you can edit text, images and posts without touching code, plus a short walkthrough so you feel confident using it.
The risk is small when the migration is done right. I map your current pages, set up redirects from old to new URLs and monitor indexing after launch.
A Next.js site is typically faster, more secure and doesn't need constant plugin updates. If WordPress is the better fit for you, I'll say so.
If you have a designer, I build from their designs. If you don't, we agree early on how the design gets made, so it fits the budget.
Hosting for a typical business website is usually inexpensive. If you want help with updates and new pages, we can set up a maintenance plan.
Yes. Because it's built on the same stack as my web apps, it can get a login, booking or a customer portal later without starting over.
Tell me briefly about your business and your current site. You'll get an honest take on what it will take.
