Why custom-built

Why not just use a template?

Template builders are cheap to start and costly to live with.

Custom-built for your business

Your site is designed and written for your business, not poured into a template. It won't look like every other site made with the same builder.

Quick on any screen

Yours is built to open quickly on phones and computers alike, and I'll show you its speed scores before it goes live, so you don't have to take my word for it.

You own it outright

The domain and the files are in your name, not mine. If you ever want to go elsewhere, you take the whole thing with you.

Set up to actually be found

I submit your site to Google Search and write the words on the page the way your customers search. With the Grow package, if you serve customers in person, I set up your Google Business Profile and map listing too.

In every build, in any package

  • Secure HTTPS
  • Works on phones and computers
  • Submitted to Google Search
  • A speed score you can check

How does your website hold up?

Type your address and I'll run Google's own website test (PageSpeed) on it, on a phone and on a computer, the same test I use on every site I build. It usually takes 15 to 30 seconds.

Your report appears here

Four scores out of 100, on a phone and on a computer, each with a line on what it means for your business.

About

You'll be working with me

A cartoon portrait of the person who builds every site

Uptime StudioThe one person who designs and builds every site

During the day I teach science and technology to middle schoolers, which turns out to be good training for explaining websites without the jargon.

In the evenings I build websites for all kinds of businesses, and the odd desktop computer.

One person, start to finish

You deal with me from the first message to launch day, and after it. When you text, I'm the one who texts back.

Pricing

Fixed prices, agreed before the build starts

No hourly billing and no surprise invoices.

Clients

In their words

We needed a site that explained what we do without making eyes glaze over. Now people get that it's free before they even call, and report requests come in through the site instead of us chasing them.

I wanted a home for the books that felt like the covers do. The books, the news and the mailing list are all right there, and I can send anyone the link without apologizing for it.
