Beautifully made, island inspired.

For almost 10 years I led brand and website projects with agencies doing the build. Since 2023 I’ve worked with AI tools professionally, building and refining a process for research, drafting, design exploration, and code that lets me do that work myself. Getting results at this level takes time to learn. The AI handles the heavy lifting; I handle the judgment, taste, and every final detail. Because I do the building myself, there’s no agency team in your price.

You can, and many owners try. Website builders look easy in the ads, but most people find out quickly how much work they are: learning the editor, writing every page, editing and sizing images and graphics to fit, and setting up the domain and email on their own. And the templates never quite fit. Each one is designed for a generic business, so you end up squeezing your story into sections that weren’t made for it. I design your site around your business from our first conversation, write the copy with you, and handle the technical setup, so you can keep running your business while your site gets built.

Because I build every site myself, I take projects on a first-come, first-served basis, so I may be booked for a few weeks. Once your project starts, your site typically goes live in one to three weeks. If you’re considering a website, reach out early, and I’ll give you a start date before you commit. Your deposit reserves your spot on my calendar.

No. Every site starts from an interview about your business and is designed around your story, photos, and customers. The Stephan Scholz site and my own three coordinated sites are good examples: each one is designed around its own business.

Not at all. Growth and Custom builds include a brand kit (logo, colors, typography). If you need photos, I can guide you on what to shoot yourself, with your phone, or direct a simple shoot to create tasteful visual assets that fill gaps.

Yes. Setup is $150 for up to three email addresses, plus $25 for each additional address. I recommend Google Workspace, which gives you an address like you@yourbusiness.com that works with Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. Google Workspace has its own monthly subscription, separate from your website package. Moving email over from an old account is quoted separately.

You do. Your domain, your content, your brand files. If you ever want to move on, I’ll hand everything over.

I handle all site updates, so you never need to log in to anything. Send me your changes anytime by email or the contact form, and I’ll make them once a month in one batch for your site. Updates requested outside the monthly window are $50 each. A set schedule helps us both be efficient about site changes. Island Care Plan members have their monthly content changes included, and if something on your site stops working, I’ll fix it right away.

A 50% deposit starts your project, and the remaining 50% is due when you approve the final site, before it goes live. I send invoices through Stripe, so you can pay securely online. The Island Care Plan is billed monthly.

I do. Every site is hosted on Netlify, which keeps it fast and secure, and if you already own a domain, I’ll connect it to your new site. New domains are registered through GoDaddy, and the registration fee is paid separately from your package: about $26 for one year, including site protection. I recommend registering for two or three years so you don’t have to think about it for a while. Two years runs about $57.

I’m based in Coral Bay, St. John, and I work with businesses across the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. John, and Water Island) and the British Virgin Islands (Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Anegada, and beyond). Projects run smoothly over Zoom, email, and WhatsApp, and clients on St. John can also meet with me in person.

No. I started here because most people like working with someone they know, or someone a neighbor recommends. I’m glad to work with businesses anywhere. I’ve worked with clients over Zoom since 2018, and projects run just as smoothly that way.

Let’s talk anyway. The Starter Site is designed for small budgets, and payment comes in two parts: a deposit to start and the rest when you approve the final site and before it goes live. I also set aside a small number of free sites each year for local businesses and nonprofits that truly need one and can’t fit the cost right now. I choose them case by case, based on need and my schedule. Tell me about your situation in the contact form, and we’ll figure out what’s possible.
