Business Website
A website for your trade or local business.
A clear, mobile-friendly site that shows your work, explains your services and makes it easy to call or ask for a quote. For contractors, home-service and other local businesses around Ann Arbor. You work directly with Marc, with a written scope and a documented handover.
What you get
A useful deliverable. A scope you can review.
Help visitors understand what you offer, find the information they need, and contact you. Work directly with Marc on a focused website with a clear scope and handover.
Included in the starting scope
- A small custom website of up to 5 core pages, built around one main customer journey
- Organization and refinement of your supplied content
- An agreed contact path, configured and tested
- Responsive layout and performance checks
- Domain connection, launch and documented handover
The starting scope is a small custom website of up to five core pages, for example Home, Services, About, Contact and one key page. Larger sites, content creation, booking, a CMS or integrations receive a separate quote.
The work behind the offer
See how the thinking takes shape.
Two working demos for fictional local businesses. Open them on your phone; the call and quote paths are the point.
Independent demo · Fictional landscaping business
Huron Valley
A trades website that leads with before-and-after work and keeps call and quote actions easy to reach on mobile.
The business is fictional. Its demo quote form still needs delivery integration.
Independent demo · Fictional before-and-after rebuild
Kowalski
A dated small-business site rebuilt side by side with its modern version, so you can compare the before and after on your own phone.
The business is fictional. The demo shows design and build choices, not a client result.
These examples show design and implementation choices. They do not establish a client outcome or a promised result for a new website.

Before you decide
The practical questions.
Clear expectations make a better project.
Compare services and pricesWhat is included at this starting price?
The starting scope is a small custom website of up to five core pages, for example Home, Services, About, Contact and one key page. Larger sites, content creation, booking, a CMS or integrations receive a separate quote.
What costs are separate?
Domain, hosting, subscriptions, messaging and usage charges are separate. Additional pages, features, integrations and migrations are quoted separately. What a small business website costs explains what moves a quote.
Do I own the website?
You own the finished custom code and content after final payment, and the domain is registered in your name. Third-party tools and services stay under their own licenses.
Do you only work with contractors?
No. Trades and home-service businesses are a focus, but the same package fits most small local businesses. Building a product or internal tool? See Focused Web MVP and Custom Software.
