Websites & automation · prototype first

See it working before you pay for it.

I build websites and lead capture for local service businesses, and custom automation for everyone else. Flat prices, live in days. You get a working prototype first. If it isn’t right, you owe nothing.

No pitch deck. Tell me the job and I’ll show you a prototype.

01 — See it working

Three small demos. Click everything.

Made-up businesses, made-up customers. Nothing you type leaves your browser. Each one is a slice of the kind of thing I build.

Interactive demo

Missed-call text-back

You’re on a job and can’t pick up. The caller gets a text in seconds, answers a few questions, and you get a clean lead summary.

HVAC · plumbing · dental · anything phone-driven

Interactive demo

Instant quote and lead intake

A short form that gives a price range on the spot, then sends you the job details. Driven by one config file, so it fits any trade.

CSV cleaner

Drop in a messy spreadsheet and get a clean one back: names, phones, emails, dates, duplicates. It runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.

02 — What I build

Two kinds of work, one way of working.

For local service businesses

A site that turns calls and searches into booked jobs

  • Fast, mobile-first site that you own
  • Tap-to-call and a quote form on every page
  • Leads texted and emailed to you the moment they arrive
  • Missed-call text-back, as an add-on
  • Clean page titles and local-business markup so Google can read it

Live in days · flat price · from $300

For everyone else

Automation, scrapers and small web apps

  • Scrapers and data pipelines for public data, within each site’s terms
  • Spreadsheet, CSV and report cleanup, automated
  • Internal tools, dashboards and admin pages
  • API integrations, webhooks and scheduled jobs
  • Small web apps, built end to end

Prototype first · flat price · from $150

03 — Prices

Flat prices, agreed before I start.

These ranges cover most jobs. Once I understand yours, you get one number, not an hourly meter.

Websites and lead capture

Landing site
$300–900
One page built to get a call or a form fill.
Local-business site and lead capture
$750–1,500
Multi-section site, quote form, lead alerts, tap-to-call.

Custom builds

Small fix
$150–300
A bug, a broken form, a tweak or a stuck integration.
Scraper or automation
$250–800
Pulls, cleans and delivers data on a schedule.
Small web app
$800–2,500
A focused tool with logins, data and an admin side.

Care or automation plan

Hosting checks, updates, small changes, monitoring and fixes, so it keeps working after launch. Month to month.

$150–400/month

How payment works: you see the prototype first. If you want it, 50% starts the full build and the balance is due on delivery.

04 — How it works

Three steps. You pay after step two.

  1. Tell me the job

    Two or three sentences on what you need, or what’s eating your week. A short call if that’s easier, email if you’d rather.

  2. See a working prototype

    I build a working version of the core of it before you pay anything. Click through it, try to break it, tell me what’s off.

  3. Approve and ship

    If it’s right, 50% starts the full build and you get the finished work live, within days for most sites. Balance on delivery.

If the prototype isn’t what you wanted, we part ways and you owe nothing.

05 — Questions

The usual ones.

How can I see a prototype before paying?

After you tell me the job, I build a working version of the core of it: a clickable site, a script that actually runs, a form that really submits. It’s yours to try. If it isn’t what you wanted, we part ways and you owe nothing.

What do you need from me?

For a site: your business name, services, phone number, hours, and any logo or photos you already have. I can start from your Google Business Profile. For a custom build: a few sentences about the manual job, plus a sample of the input. A screenshot or a sample file is perfect.

How long does it take?

Most local-business sites go live within a week of you approving the prototype. Small fixes are often same-day or next-day. Scrapers, automations and apps are scoped up front, and the quote includes a date.

Who owns the work?

You do. Once the final payment clears, the site, the code and the accounts are yours. I hand over everything, including logins to anything I set up for you.

What about hosting and the domain?

Static sites cost little or nothing to host, and domains run roughly $12–20 a year. Everything is registered in your name, not mine.

How does missed-call text-back work in practice?

A call you don’t answer triggers a text from your business number within seconds. The caller is walked through a few simple questions, and you get one summary per lead. You can jump into the thread whenever you like. US business texting needs a registered number, which I set up. Message fees are billed by the provider and are a few cents at most per text.

Do you work outside my city?

Yes. Everything is done remotely, by email, phone or video.

Is the data in the demos real?

No. The businesses, customers and phone numbers are made up (555-01xx numbers are reserved for fiction). Nothing you type into a demo is sent anywhere.

What if I need changes later?

Small changes are a small-fix job. If you expect a steady trickle of them, a care plan is cheaper.

Tell me the job.
I’ll show you a prototype.

Two or three sentences is plenty. I’ll come back with a plan and a flat price.
