Can I make you a website?

Hi, neighbor! I'm Michaela. I design websites for small businesses in the Conejo Valley, the San Fernando Valley and LA County.

If you love a design I make, you can buy it— and if you don't, you pay nothing. Give it a try!

  • 24 hrsfrom my yes to your finished design

The fun partLittle moments I've built into websites.

  • Glass doors sliding open onto a terrace and a lake

    Doors that slide open

  • A cook at a grill in an alley at night as sparks fly up

    Sparks off the grill

  • A row of a restaurant's food posts, one of them playing

    A social wall that plays itself

  • A sun sinking to the horizon behind two lines of words

    A sunset for an intro

  • A drawn burger stacking itself beside an order ticket

    A burger that builds itself

  • A cantina's sign lit in gold under paper pennants

    A whip-crack welcome

Just for fun

Hover, and they come alive.

Mockups I made of local businesses, for fun. (Not the official websites.)

How it works

From filling out a short form to getting a finished website in 24 hours.

  • 1. You fill out a form

    Tell me about your business and point me to your current website that could use a glow up.

  • 2. I say yes, and I build it

    I reply to tell you I'm taking it on. Within 24 hours of that, your whole one-of-a-kind website is designed with a blog (+articles), SEO-optimized pages, and unique features.

  • 3. You get 7 days to decide

    It arrives as a private link, with a peek at the dashboard. Love it? It's $375 for my first 10 customers (regularly about $875), and it's yours. Not for you? You owe nothing, and the design can go to someone else.

What it costs, for a limited time

$875 $375

The launch price for my first 10 customers. After that a website is about $875 again, depending on how complex it is. Either way, you see yours finished before you decide. No obligations, no worries, no stress!

How that compares

Next to local web studios...

What makes this offer unique:

  • A local web studio

    The usual way

    $2,500 to $8,000
    for a small website
    • Launch in 6 to 8 weeks
    • Support plans from $150 to $250 a month
    • No self-serve platform, dynamic page updates, built-in marketing tools, or SEO

  • Me, your neighbor

    This page

    $375
    for my first 10 customers; regularly $875, depending on complexity
    • A finished design within 24 hours of my "yes!"
    • You see the whole website before you pay a cent
    • SEO optimized for Google search and AI engine models
    • Dashboard add-on with dynamically updated pages, marketing tools, and an easy self-serve platform (optional)

FYI

The good to know.

  • I work backwards

    Most designers start with a proposal. I start with your website, because I believe a good product speaks for itself.

  • The free design is as-is

    While I don't take edit requests on free work, I do offer custom features & additional design at my hourly rate.

  • Custom work

    If you want something changed, or a website built to your exact specifications from the start, that's $80 an hour.
