Ongoing website tweaks
Light maintenance and updates, so the site stays current.
If you already have hosting or a domain, that's fine. I can work with what you've got.
How it works
- Quick chat
You tell me what you do, who it's for, and what "good" looks like. - Structure first
We agree the pages and the flow. No design until the structure makes sense. - Design and build
I design it, build it, and keep you in the loop with simple check-ins. - Polish and launch
Final tweaks, basic SEO, and a calm launch plan. - Aftercare
I stay reachable for questions and small changes.
Pricing
- Every project is different, but I keep things simple.
- I'll give you a clear quote after a short chat.
- Small sites are usually a fixed price.
- Ongoing tweaks can be handled as ad-hoc or a small monthly plan.
If you're not sure what you need yet, that's normal. We'll figure it out.
FAQ
I don't have any copy. Can you help?
Yes. Send rough notes, links, or bullet points. I'll shape it into clean website text.
I'm not technical. Is that a problem?
Not at all. I'll explain options in plain English and handle the details.
Can you work with my existing domain and hosting?
Usually, yes. If something is messy, I'll tell you clearly and suggest the least painful fix.
Do you do SEO?
I do the sensible basics: structure, headings, metadata, and performance. If you need a bigger SEO campaign, I can keep the site ready for that.
What happens after launch?
You can come back for tweaks, additions, and questions. I do not vanish the moment it goes live.
