Freelance web developer — Bellingham, WA
Agency-quality websites for half the dollars.
Custom-built sites for local businesses. One-time price. You own everything — no monthly platform rent, no templates, no upsells.
Next.js + TypeScript · Hand-coded · You own it
The math
Renting your website is the most expensive way to own one.
Wix Business runs about $32/month. That's $384 a year — every year, forever — for a site you'll never own. Here's the three-year picture:
Wix / Squarespace
$1,150+
over 3 years
- ✕ You own nothing — stop paying, lose your site
- ✕ ~2.9% + 30¢ skimmed off every online sale
- ✕ Same templates thousands of businesses use
- ✕ Features locked behind higher plan tiers
- ✕ Bloated pages that load slowly
With me
$780–1,080
over 3 years — one-time build $600–900 + ~$60/yr hosting
- ✓ You own the code, domain, and hosting outright
- ✓ No cut of your sales, ever
- ✓ Custom design — nobody else's site looks like yours
- ✓ Every feature included; nothing upsold
- ✓ Hand-built pages that load fast and rank better
Cheaper over three years — and you end up owning an asset instead of a subscription.
Why me over Wix
A website should make you money, not bill you monthly.
Faster means found
Hand-built pages load in a blink. Google ranks faster sites higher — a sluggish template literally costs you customers.
Yours, outright
You get the code, the domain, the hosting account. Move providers any time. Nobody can hold your website hostage.
No template look
Your site won't look like the 10,000 other businesses running the same Wix theme. Custom design, your brand.
No upsells, no lock-in
No “your plan doesn't include that.” No price hikes on renewal. No platform deciding your features.
I handle the tech dread
Domain, hosting, business email, Google Business Profile — the stuff owners put off for years. Done for you.
A local human
I'm in Bellingham. We can meet for coffee, I'll answer my phone, and I actually pick up what local businesses need.
