Restaurants, barbershops, car washes, pet groomers, handymen — the owner-operators who keep Main Street running. I started in my corner of Western PA; now I build for small businesses everywhere. Real websites, made one at a time, by one guy — not an agency, not a template.

Every site I make goes the same four steps. Scroll, and watch one build itself.
I'm Grant. I'm from Scottdale — a small town in Western Pennsylvania — and I build custom websites for small businesses in small towns. Places — from my corner of Western PA to small towns just about anywhere — that aren't on a national chain's email list, that don't have a marketing department, and that mostly run on word of mouth and a Facebook page.
I also work a blue-collar trades job. So I'm not some agency guy in a downtown office — I do real work with my hands, same as a lot of the people I build for. That's exactly why I get it: when you've been on a job all day, the last thing you've got time for is wrestling with a website. I take that off your plate and do it right.
Word of mouth still works. But when somebody Googles your shop and the first thing that pops up is an auto-generated placeholder page or a stale Yelp listing, you're losing customers before they ever walk in. That's the gap I close.
Every site is built from scratch around the actual business — its story, its customers, its voice. No templates, no cookie-cutter "small business website" packages. Just real design that does justice to what you've already built.
What you do, who you serve, what makes you different. No discovery call required.
A real, working homepage you can scroll through. No commitment. If you don't love it, you owe me nothing.
One simple monthly plan — no surprise invoices. Most sites are 1–3 pages and go live within 1–2 weeks.
Month-to-month — cancel anytime. Your domain stays yours; I just build, host, and keep the site running and up to date.
Tell me a little about your place and I'll hand-build you a real website mockup — designed just for you, not pulled from a template. No commitment, no pitch. You only pay if it's worth building out.
A few details below — your business, how to reach you, a couple photos if you've got them.
A real, custom page designed around your business. Usually back to you within a day or two.
Like it? We get it live on your own domain. Don't? No hard feelings — it cost you nothing.
