Website Design & Build

A website that makes your brand impossible to ignore.

I design and build custom sites that make you look established, earn trust the second someone lands and turn visitors into customers. Built around your brand, and yours to own for good.

Four ways to work with me.

Why me.

I am a brand designer first, so your site will not just work, it will make people take you seriously. Everything is custom built around your brand, from the way it looks to the way it sells. It is the kind of site that makes a small business look established and a brand new label look like it has been around for years. And when it is done, it is yours to own outright.

What you get.

Made for your brand

A custom site that fits you, so you stand out instead of blending in with every other template.

Built to sell

A real store with real checkout when you need it, designed to turn browsers into buyers.

Yours to own

You own the whole thing outright. No platform holding your site hostage, ever.

Fast and findable

Quick to load, sharp on every phone and set up so the right people can actually find you.

Who this is for.

Small businesses

You look amateur online and you know it is costing you customers. Time to look like the real thing.

Creators and brands

Your work is great. Your site should look just as good, so people take you as seriously as you take it.

Founders launching

You are putting a product or store into the world and you need a real storefront, not a template.

Proof.

This entire site was built this way. So was wyerd, a live product with a real store and app. See for yourself.

How it works
STEP 01

Brief and call

You fill out the brief and we talk through what the site needs to do. Work starts once the contract is signed and the deposit clears.

STEP 02

Design

I design the pages and you review them. Two rounds of changes, approved by one person on your side.

STEP 03

Build

I build the site, test it on real phones and set up your domain. You send copy and photos before this step.

STEP 04

Launch

The site goes live and I show you how to update it. Files and the domain are yours on final payment.

Every project runs the full process: noun list, 50 to 100 sketches, marks in black and white, three finalists with color and type. Two rounds per phase.

How it works
STEP 01

Nouns

We build a list of nouns that describe your business together. Nouns, because nouns can be drawn.

STEP 02

Sketches

I draw 50 to 100 rough sketches from that list and show you the strongest.

STEP 03

Black and white

The best become marks with no color and no type, so you judge the idea, not the palette. Two rounds per phase.

STEP 04

Finalists

Three marks get color and type. You pick one and get the full system for your tier. Rights transfer on final payment.

Service 03 · Consulting

Product and ecosystem strategy.

This is a different service from the websites above. I help brands expand what their product actually does. It starts with a strategy sprint. Discovery into your product and your users, a custom ecosystem strategy deck and a phased roadmap to ship it. From there I can stay on to help you build it. Designer's eye, product brain.

How it works
STEP 01

Brief

You tell me where the business is and where it's stuck.

STEP 02

Working session

We dig in together, live.

STEP 03

The plan

You get a written document you can act on, with the revisions your tier includes.

Service 04 · Brand sound

Brand sound.

An original track for your content, built from the sounds of your business. The espresso machine, the shop door, the tools on the bench, recorded and turned into music that belongs to you and nobody else.

dannny mcccarthy sounds
$500 flat
Founding rate · 3 weeks

One track up to 30 seconds, plus a 15 second cutdown. Full mix and instrumental. Two revision rounds. Licensed for your content, ads and social with no expiry.

Start a brand sound brief →
How it works
STEP 01

Brief

You tell me where the track will run and what your business sounds like.

STEP 02

Capture

You record the sounds of your space on your phone and send them over.

STEP 03

Draft

I build the track from those sounds and send it to you. Two rounds of changes.

STEP 04

Final files

You get the full track, the 15 second cutdown and the instrumental, licensed for your content.

The clock pauses while I'm waiting on copy, photos, recordings or feedback. Anything outside your tier is quoted separately.

Your money goes somewhere good.

Every project helps fund wyerd, a set of tools I am building to help neurodivergent people get through their day. So your site puts something good into the world too.

Questions, answered.

How much does it cost?

Every project gets a flat quote after you send your brief. No hourly surprises, no scope creep. Starting prices are laid out on this page, so you know what you are looking at before we ever talk.

How long does it take?

Most websites run about four to six weeks, and most brand identities about eight weeks, depending on scope and how quickly feedback and content come back. You get a clear timeline with your quote.

What if I want changes?

Revision rounds are built into every project, and each package lists how many, so we refine it together until it feels right. Each round is one consolidated batch of your feedback, and we can always add more if you want to keep going.

Do I actually own everything?

Yes, one hundred percent. The site, the files and the brand assets are yours to keep and use however you want. No platform holding your work hostage, ever.

Do you work with clients outside Seattle?

Yes. I work with founders and brands anywhere. Everything runs remotely, with you in the loop the whole way.

How do we start?

Fill out the brief for what you need: a website, a brand, a strategy sprint or a brand sound. I come back with a plan and a flat quote within two business days. From there we lock the scope and I start designing.

Ready to get started?

Tell me what you are working on and I will come back with a plan. A website, a brand, a product strategy or a brand sound, this is where it starts. Pick your path.
