Who you're working with

One person. Your photos. A page that works on a phone.

I'm Everett Holt, a developer from River Pines in the Sierra foothills. I write software for a living, and I started this because almost every small-business website I looked up around here was broken on a phone, showing a security warning, or pointing customers at an address that no longer exists.

So I do the looking first. When I write to a business, it is because I found one specific, verifiable problem with how customers reach them, and I built them a preview of the fix before asking for anything. If the preview isn't worth the money to you, you never owe me a cent.

There is no agency behind me and no monthly lock-in. You pay once, the site is yours, and the domain stays in your name.

If it wouldn't be worth what I'm charging to the person who runs the place, I don't send it.

How it works

You see it before you decide anything.

  1. I look at your site the way a customer does

    On a phone, from a search result or your listing. Security warnings, dead links, a layout that shrinks to nothing. I only write if I find something real.

  2. I build a preview, free

    A finished-looking page from your public photos and words, live at a link you can send to anyone. No strings.

  3. You say yes, or you don't

    A one-time price, agreed in writing before any work you pay for starts. Half now and half at launch if that is easier.

  4. Live in about a week, on your domain

    Your real menu, hours, prices and photos. Hosting and the security certificate are included and renew on their own. The domain stays in your name.

  5. One round of changes after you see it live

    Then it is yours. If you want me to keep it updated through the seasons, that is optional and cancels any time.

Straight prices

Quoted once, in writing, before anything starts.

One-page site

$800 to $1,500

A cinematic, phone-first page: your photos, story, menu or services, hours, reviews, one clear way to reach you.

Most businesses need exactly this.

Multi-page site

$2,000 to $3,500

Several pages with real structure: a menu or shop, an events or booking page, a story page, a contact page.

For places with more to show.

Optional care

$75 to $150 / mo

Seasonal photos, price and hours changes, watching the domain and certificate. Cancel any time.

Only if you want someone in charge of it.

Hosting and the security certificate are included in every build. Half now, half at launch if that helps. No contracts, no lock-in, and your domain is always registered to you.

Recent previews, all live

Built on spec, from public photos and listings.

Each of these was built before anyone asked, to show the owner what their place could look like on a phone. Tap any of them.

Previews use each business's publicly listed photos and details. When a business becomes a client, the finished site on their own domain replaces the preview.

What I fix most often

The problems customers hit before they ever reach you.

A security warning before the page

An expired or mismatched certificate makes every modern browser show a full-page "not private" warning first. Most visitors leave. It is usually a leftover from an old website builder, not something you did.

A site that shrinks on a phone

Older pages render the desktop layout tiny. Menus, hours and phone numbers become unreadable exactly where most people look you up.

A listing that points at a dead address

Directories, press articles and even product labels keep an old web address alive long after the site behind it is gone. The customer taps it and gets nothing.

A "coming soon" that never came

Placeholder pages and blank builder shells tell customers the business might not be open. A one-page site with real hours and photos fixes that in a week.

Get in touch

If I wrote to you, just reply. If I didn't, say hello.

Tell me the name of your business and I will look at how customers reach you today. If I find something worth fixing, I will build you a preview first.
