I help small business owners
have online success by creating
As a small business owner, you know that people will search your business 24/7.
When (and if) they find you, what’s their first impression?
Does your website showcase your business in a professional way?
Does it inspire customers to take action?
Websites that I’ve created for small business here in the Bitterroot Valley do just that.
- They’re beautiful.
- They’re professional.
- They’re built with a strategy.
Being a small business owner can have its challenges. Having a professional website doesn’t have to be one of them.
You’re awesome at what you do. Keep doing what you do best.
… and I’ll do the same.

What Makes My Sites Different?
Video Marketing
Videos capture your attention. They communicate your message faster than text or picture. Videos are the most powerful way to share your message and market your business … and when you can incorporate them into a well designed website, you have a 1-2 punch to grow your business.
Built with a Strategy
Websites should be more than just information. They should be designed in a way that takes the visitor on a strategic journey. I have years of marketing experience and I know how to design a site that helps visitors take action. They’re designed in a specific way to grow your business.
Designed Locally
There’s something about working with someone that lives, works and plays in the same valley as you. I know the area. I know the businesses. It also allows us to meet face-to-face. It allows me to come to your business & shoot videos, take pictures & get to know you better.

Common Web Design Questions
There are variables … and I love to create a custom quote based on your needs. But you can check out my pricing page to give you an idea of what a professional website will cost.
Depending on your needs, I can either build your site on WordPress using the Elementor plugin or on the Squarespace platform.

A lot of this depends on your timetable, how much you want to be involved, as well as my current workload. Some websites can take as little time as a few days to a few months. In our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your sense of urgency and establish a timetable to work with. You can read this blog article I wrote to learn more about how long it takes to create a website.
The short answer is yes.
If your site is built on Squarespace, it’s easy to make changes and updates to your website. There are a number of videos and tutorials on the Squarespace website to show you how.
If your site is built on WordPress, you can still make your own changes. It’s a little harder than Squarespace due to the complexity of your website. But it’s pretty intuitive to be able to make your own changes. I have a free online course you can take to learn how to make basic corrections and updates.
Some clients prefer to have me make their changes. They pay an hourly rate of $75 or they buy four (4) hours at a time at a discounted price of $250.
If your site is built on Squarespace, there is no maintenance. The maintenance is built into the platform and the annual fee.
If your site is built on WordPress, you have two (2) options:
- You can maintain the site yourself. You’ll need to update WordPress when available, update plugins (recommended weekly for security & safety) and maintain your own backups. You also have full responsibility of your website.
- You can have paid maintenance. I will update your site when a WordPress update is available, along with weekly plugin updates and monthly backups. All for $49/year. Daily backups are also available for an additional $25/year.
Your site will be designed & built in a way to take advantage of many SEO practices, including scaled images for example. I will also install free SEO plugins into WordPress for you to use. For a more comprehensive SEO strategy and program, I would recommend hiring a professional SEO developer. Recommendations available upon request.
Generally speaking – no.
I only create new websites with WordPress (using the Elementor page builder plugin) and Squarespace.
