Already have a Facebook page? You're halfway there.

Most local businesses already have the hard part: their photos, services, hours, story, reviews and contact information. We take that information and turn it into a real website customers can use.

Facebook is great. It just shouldn't be your whole online presence.

Use Facebook for your community. Use your website for the information customers need when they're ready to call, visit, book or buy.

Get found

Show up when people search.

A website gives Google a clear place to understand your business, services, location and contact information.

Build trust

Look as good as you are.

A professional website gives customers a quick way to see what you do and decide whether you're the right fit.

Make it easy

Give customers one clear place.

Hours, services, photos, directions, reviews and contact information shouldn't be buried in old posts.

A professional website for $300.

Start with what you actually need. Add more later if your business grows.

Custom apps

Need more than a website? I build the tools too.

Some businesses and organizations don't need a brochure. They need a way to take registrations, collect forms, track people or manage requests, without paper, spreadsheets or a monthly fee to a big software company.

Built and running for a real local organization

I built the online registration system for St. Clair Jr. Football & Cheer. Families register their kids online, upload what's required, and the league's volunteers review every registration in a private admin view before anything is finalized. It handles waitlists, sibling discounts and different programs, and it runs on the same Cloudflare platform that powers a large share of the internet.

Same approach, built around your business or group.

  • Online registration & sign-up systems
  • Booking, quote and job-request tools
  • Customer or member lists with a private admin login
  • Document and photo uploads, stored securely
  • Automatic confirmation emails
  • Online payments (through a processor like Stripe or Square)

Simple App

One job, done well. A smarter form that saves to a list you can sign in and see.

$1,200 starting
  • Custom form or request tool
  • Private admin login to view and export entries
  • Email notification to you
  • Mobile-friendly, on your own domain

Custom Build

Something that doesn't fit the others. We talk it through and I quote it up front.

Custom quote
  • Online payments and checkout
  • Customer or member accounts
  • Connections to tools you already use
  • Fixed written quote before any work starts
Hosting & support: $49/mo. Your app lives online, so someone has to keep it secure, backed up and working. That's me. Includes hosting, backups, monitoring and small fixes. Apps with payments or heavy use may be quoted higher.

Why does an app cost more than a website?

Fair question. A website shows people information. An app takes information in, stores it, protects it and does something with it. That's a different kind of work.

It has real logic

Rules like "only 40 spots," "$25 off the second child," or "hold this until someone approves it" have to be designed, built and tested so they work every time.

It holds people's information

Names, phone numbers, documents. That data needs a secure database, private storage and a locked admin area so only the right people see it.

It replaces hours of manual work

Paper forms, texts and spreadsheets take volunteers and staff real time every season. A system that does it for you pays for itself quickly.

You own it, without software fees

Off-the-shelf registration tools often take a cut of every signup or charge per-month fees forever. A custom app has one build cost and a small hosting fee.

Prices shown are starting points, and I give a fixed written quote after we talk about what you need. Early clients get founding-client pricing, so ask.

Talk about an app

It's your website. Not mine.

I build the site and help you get it running, but you shouldn't be trapped by the person who built it.

I'm Matt.

I’m based in St. Clair, Michigan, and I build websites for local businesses that don't need a giant agency — they just need someone who understands their business and can get the job done.

If you already have a Facebook page, you've already done a lot of the work. I'll help turn that information into a professional website customers can actually use.
