Custom Web Design Services from One Developer, Not an Agency
I provide custom web design services for small businesses that want their site built by the same person who answered the phone. No account manager, no handoff to a production team. I design it, build it, and launch it myself.
Over 15 years I’ve launched many sites for contractors, medical practices, private schools, manufacturers, movers, and parishes, most of them here in the Philadelphia metro. I work in WordPress, Avada, Divi, Elementor, WooCommerce, Shopify, Wix, and Webflow, plus custom code when a builder can’t do the job. That range means I recommend the platform that fits your business, not the one I happen to sell.

What’s Included in Every Build
Questions I Get Asked
The question behind most of these: why hire a freelance web designer instead of an agency? At an agency, your project passes through a salesperson, a project manager, and whoever is free in development that week. With me, the person selling you the site is the person building it. Some businesses genuinely need an agency. For a small business website, you’re usually paying agency overhead for freelancer work.

Can I update my own website after it’s built?
Yes, and that’s a requirement, not an add-on. I build on WordPress with visual editing, so changing text, photos, hours, or prices is something you do yourself in minutes. Before launch I record a walkthrough of your specific site, and you keep it. If you’d rather never touch the site, my website maintenance plans cover updates for you.

How do I find the best web designer near me?
Ask three things: can you see live sites they built, not templates they customized; will the person you’re talking to do the actual work; and can they explain their last project in plain English? I’m based in Delaware County and work across the Philadelphia metro, so for local businesses I’m happy to meet in person and walk through the work.

Who’s the best web designer for a small business?
The one who’s built for businesses your size, and can prove it. A designer who mostly serves funded startups will over-build and over-charge you. My web design portfolio is contractors, schools, practices, and shops: businesses that need the site to generate calls, not impress investors. Judge any designer, including me, on whether their clients’ sites do that.

Do you only work with businesses near Philadelphia?
No. Most of my clients are in the Philadelphia metro because referrals cluster locally, and I keep a page for web design in Philadelphia, but I’ve built for businesses in other states and my process works remotely. Everyone gets the same developer, the same process, and a phone number that gets answered.
