Websites · Mini-Cassia and the Magic Valley
One person you can call.
A good website should be clear, fast, and easy to update — and you shouldn’t have to worry about the technical side of keeping it running.
What I handle
I build sites from the ground up and handle hosting, backups, security updates, and maintenance. That means one person handles your whole site, and you’ve always got someone to call.
- Website design and development, WordPress or static
- Hosting, backups, and maintenance included
- Plugin and security updates handled for you
- Content edits available on an hourly basis
- Ongoing support — no technical headaches on your end
WordPress or static
Two ways to build a site, and the right answer depends on whether you plan to change it yourself.
WordPress, if you’ll be updating it — posting events, changing prices, swapping staff photos. You get an editor to log into, and I keep it patched and backed up.
A static site, if it mostly sits there and you’d rather it were fast with nothing to break. It is pages and nothing else — no WordPress, no plugins, nothing to log into and nothing to hack — so it costs less to host. Changes come to me instead of you.
This site is a static one. That’s why it loads the way it does.
Why it works
I host client sites on a server I manage myself, so when something needs attention there’s no support queue in between.
What it costs
Every site is quoted after a short conversation about what you need. Hosting and maintenance is a monthly plan, and content edits are billed by the hour — you’ll have the figures for all of it before anything starts.

Questions
Do I have to move my hosting?
No. I can host your site, or build it and leave it where it is now. If you want me to keep it maintained — security updates, plugins, backups — that’s the monthly maintenance plan either way.
What if I already have a site?
I can take it over and look after it, or rebuild it. That goes for WordPress sites and sites built on something else.
Who owns the site if I leave?
You do. If you decide to move on, there’s a fee for the handoff, and I’ll give you the complete site — every file and the database — as a download.
How do content edits work?
Send me what you want changed and I’ll have it done within one or two business days, billed hourly. WordPress sites are built so you can make most edits yourself, and I encourage it.
Need a site, or need someone to look after the one you have?
Tell me what you have now and what you need it to do.
