Vacation rental
Village of Richmond
A direct-booking site for a rental in The Villages, Florida — built so guests can book without the listing platforms taking a cut of every stay.
Work
Sites I have built
A wings and pizza joint, a service club, a bookkeeper, a fishing charter, two therapy practices, a vacation rental. Different budgets and completely different jobs — but every one of them is fast, works properly on a phone, and belongs to the person who paid for it.
Restaurant
Wings 'N' Things
A Dexter wings and pizza joint since 1998, moved off GoDaddy onto a one-page site built around the menu. Prices come straight from their Square store, fresh Google reviews load on their own, and the old page addresses still land in the right place.
Nonprofit service club
Dexter Lions Club
Nine pages carried off an ageing Wix site, with the events and news archive rebuilt so club volunteers can post updates themselves without touching layout.
Bookkeeping practice
Haner Bookkeeping, LLC
A remote bookkeeper with no site at all, now with a first one built around a single action: book a free consultation. Five services on one page, her QuickBooks ProAdvisor credentials up front, and a design drawn from her own logo.
Therapy practice
Melissa Richter, LMSW
A solo practice in Ann Arbor that needed to read as calm and credible on first contact. Services, fees, and supervision laid out plainly so prospective clients can self-select before they call.
Fishing charter
N&T Outfitters
A charter business that books almost entirely by phone. The site puts the trips, the boat, and the number in front of people on a phone screen in one scroll.
Telehealth therapy practice
New Beginnings Therapy Solutions
A telehealth practice licensed in four states, moved off GoDaddy Website Builder without disturbing the Microsoft 365 email on the same domain. Fees, licensed states, and first steps are laid out plainly, and clients are pointed to her HIPAA-compliant portal instead of email for anything clinical.
The common thread
None of them look alike
That is the part worth noticing. A fishing charter and a therapy practice have nothing in common — different customers, different tone, different thing the visitor needs to do. On a template platform they would end up with the same layout in different colours, because that is what the template does.
Starting from a blank page costs more time up front. What you get for it is a site that is shaped like your business instead of shaped like everyone else’s.
