I redesign and look after websites for local businesses, so customers find you, trust you, and walk through the door.
Most of your customers are looking on a phone. If they have to pinch and zoom, they leave.
Hours, prices, menu, how to book. If people can't find them in five seconds, they call someone else.
Whoever built it moved on, and now updating it feels like a chore you never get to.
No jargon and no surprise invoices. You'll know exactly what you're getting before we start. Prefer to spread it out? Every project can be split into three monthly payments.
A quick screen-recorded video (about 3 minutes) where I click through your current site and point out what's working and what's costing you customers.
A fresh look and clearer pages on the platform you already have.
A brand new site built from scratch on your own domain, usually live in 1 to 2 weeks.
I keep your site up to date so you never have to think about it. Optional, cancel anytime.
Opening soon or have a big event coming up? I can launch a new site in as little as 3 business days for an extra 25%, once I have your photos and details.
I'm just getting started, so my first three clients get 50% off any package. In return, I ask for an honest testimonial and permission to show your site in my portfolio. (Can't be combined with other discounts.)
Claim a spotEvery business is different, so every site gets the pieces it actually needs. Here are some favorites.
Easy to read on a phone, with tabs or filters so people jump straight to what they want.
One tap to book, reserve a table, or order pickup and delivery through DoorDash, Uber Eats or whatever you already use.
Swipeable slideshows, full-screen galleries and before-and-after sliders. No great photos yet? Photo help is available as an add-on: I can take new ones or polish the ones you have.
Directions, parking tips and a phone number that dials with one tap.
Set up so you show up when locals search, with your Google profile and listing polished to match.
Your star rating, best reviews and press mentions, right where new customers will see them.
Your latest posts show up on your site automatically, so it always feels fresh.
A specials board you can update from your phone, plus an events calendar and gift card link.
Need something that isn't here? Just ask. If it helps your customers, I can probably make it.
Named for my late tuxedo cat, the Neville Project sets aside one free website each year for an animal rescue, shelter or volunteer-run group doing good in the community. Nonprofits and cause-driven groups also get 30% off any package, all year round.
Tell me about your causeConcept redesigns for local businesses, made to show what's possible. More coming soon.
A family-run Vietnamese restaurant: online ordering up front, a full menu that's easy on phones, and their story told properly.
A calm, editorial salon site with a tabbed price list and a Book Now button on every page.
Hi, I'm Michal! Some of my happiest childhood memories are from a horse farm in England, where I had a little craft room of my own and spent hours making things just for the joy of it. That joy has stayed with me ever since. Even during my five years working in finance in New York City, my favorite parts of the job were designing presentations and planning thoughtful events.
Then came Butter Lush Bakes, my online bakery. I loved baking for people, but most customers found me through Etsy rather than my own website, and that taught me how much a simple, welcoming site matters. Now I build those sites for local businesses: one at a time, in small batches, with lots of care.
These days I split my time between New York City and Anchorage, though I'm a homebody at heart. You'll usually find me hiking, trying a new restaurant, baking for friends and family, or being supervised by Cosette, my studio cat.
Websites are new for me. Taking care of customers isn't. Here's what Butter Lush Bakes customers said on Etsy.
INGREDIENTS: thoughtful design, honest pricing, a pinch of whimsy & plenty of care.
You stay in charge the whole way. Nothing goes live until you love it.
I record a quick video walking through your current site, with honest feedback.
We agree on exactly what's included, for a fixed price.
I build it, you review it, and we tweak until it feels like you.
After launch I'm a text away for updates, wherever I am.
Tell me a little about your business and I'll send back a quick video walkthrough of your site within two days. No pressure, no sales pitch.
