Digital Consulting for Small Business
Websites that work. AI that helps.
Clear, honest guidance for small businesses building a real web presence — and putting AI to work without the hype.

The Offer
Two problems. One person who actually does the work.
Most small businesses need two things they never have time to figure out: a website that actually represents them, and a sensible way to start using AI without wasting money on it. I do both — directly. No agency, no account managers, no hand-offs.
Web Design & Redesign
A website built to make the phone ring.
Not a template with your logo pasted on. Every site is designed around what your business actually does, for the customers who are actually searching for it — mobile-first, fast, and built to convert a visit into a call.
- Website Audit — a plain-English review of what's costing you leads right now. The low-barrier way to start.
- Full Design & Redesign — modern, mobile-first, built around your trade and your real content — never lorem ipsum.
- On-Page SEO Baseline — so the people already searching for what you do can actually find you.
- Google Business Profile Setup — the listing that shows up before your website even loads.
- Hosting & Care Plan — fast, secure hosting with ongoing updates, so the website is never something you have to think about.
AI Consulting
AI that saves hours, not just headlines.
Most "AI strategy" is vague. This isn't. I help small businesses find the two or three places AI can save real time — and set them up properly, so your team actually uses them.
- AI Strategy Session — a 2-hour working session to find exactly where AI can save your business time and money.
- AI Website Chatbot — a 24/7 assistant that handles inquiries, quote requests, and FAQs.
- AI Content Workflow — tools set up to help your team write faster, not replace them.
- Process Automation — automate the repetitive stuff: scheduling, follow-ups, reporting.
- Team Training — hands-on sessions so what gets built actually gets used.
- Ongoing Retainer — continued guidance as tools and your needs evolve.
How It Works
Four steps. No surprises.
A
Conversation
15–30 minutes, no cost, no pressure. What's actually going on, and what would genuinely help.
B
Proposal
Exact scope, exact price, in writing. No "call for pricing," no surprise invoices later.
C
Build
You see progress, not just a final reveal. A mockup comes first, always, before anything is built out.
D
Launch & Support
Live, documented, and — if you want it — looked after every month under a simple care plan.
