— WEB DEVELOPER & BUILDER
Do you have a great business but no website that
shows how good you are?
Most professionals and business owners are good at what they do. But their website doesn’t show it, and they miss opportunities because of it. I build websites that close that gap. They are simple, focused, and built around how your business actually works, so your website finally matches the level of your work.
Projects start at $2,000 - for professionals and business owners serious about their online presence.

— WHY IT MATTERS
What most websites get wrong.
A website that looks fine on the surface can still be quietly working against you. Here's what clients often don't realize until it's too late.
01
First impressions happen in seconds
A slow, outdated, or unclear website gives people a reason to leave and look elsewhere before they even understand what you offer. In those first few seconds, people either feel confident staying or decide to move on.
02
Quick setups leave important gaps
It’s easier than ever to build a website on your own, but structure, security, and how everything connects often get overlooked. Over time, that leads to extra tools, unnecessary work, and a site that doesn’t support how the business runs.
03
Layout drives decisions
What people see first and how your site is organized shapes how they experience it. When the structure isn’t clear, people quickly feel lost or overwhelmed and leave without taking action, even if they came in interested.
04
Simple websites take intention
Many websites look simple, but don’t make anything easier. Simplicity comes from intentional planning, structure, and clean design that make the site clear, easy to navigate, and simplify how the business operates.
— WHAT I BUILD FOR YOU
Tell me where you are.
I'll build what you need.
Your project starts with a conversation about your goals - not a template. I take the time to understand your business so what I build actually works for you.
Personal Websites
For professionals, speakers, and experts who need a home base online that actually reflects their credibility - not just a page that says they exist.
PERSONAL
Business Sites
For growing businesses ready for a site that works as hard as they do. Built to bring the right clients in and present your offer clearly.
BUSINESS
Events Pages
Built to drive registrations. One goal, one action, no distractions. Every element is designed around the outcome - not just the look.
EVENTS
Landing Pages
Campaign-focused pages built for one outcome: getting visitors to take action. If an element doesn't serve a purpose, it doesn't make the page.
LANDING
Projects start at $2,000. I work with professionals and business owners who understand that a well-built site is an investment, not an expense. If budget is the primary constraint, I'll tell you that honestly - and point you in the right direction.
— HOW IT WORKS
Simple on your end.
Thorough on mine.
01
Discovery call
We talk through your goals, your audience, and what success looks like. I ask the questions most developers skip - because I need to understand your business before I build anything.
02
Written scope document
I put together a clear, written breakdown of exactly what I'll build, the timeline, and the investment. You know what you're agreeing to before anything starts. No surprises.
03
Alignment call
We review the scope together before a single line of code is written. You sign off on the plan. Then I get to work.
04
Design sign-off
You see exactly what the site will look like before development begins. Two rounds of revisions are included - because adjusting a design is easy. Adjusting built code is not.
05
Build, test & launch
I build it, test it across devices, and walk you through the handoff. You leave the process knowing how to manage what you own - not dependent on me for every small update.
~2 wks
Average time from kickoff to launch for smaller web development projects
2
Rounds of revision included in every project
100%
Design approved before development begins - always
— ABOUT ELIE
Built at IBM.
Now built for you.
Before going independent, I spent years at IBM supporting enterprise clients across tech, finance, healthcare, and education. My job was to understand how an entire organization worked - and then build the system that helped it run better.
That same mindset is what I bring to every website I build. I'm not just writing code. I'm thinking through your business first, then building something that genuinely fits it.
"A lot of people don't see the actual work and value that goes behind a website. The fact that something feels simple and easy to use doesn't mean the work to make it that way was easy."

— GOOD TO KNOW
Questions people ask
before reaching out.
I'd rather you have the answers up front than spend time on a call figuring out if this is a good fit.
What does a project typically cost?
Projects start at $2,000. A straightforward personal or business site typically stays close to that starting point. Larger scopes - like a multi-page site, custom functionality, or a faster turnaround - will be priced accordingly. Either way, you'll know the full number before anything starts. I'll never surprise you mid-project.
How long does a project take from start to finish?
Most smaller projects take around two weeks from kickoff to launch. The timeline depends on the scope of the project and how quickly we can move through approvals together. I’ll be specific about that in your written scope document.
Can't I just use GoDaddy or Squarespace?
You can - and for very early-stage needs, they might get you started. But they have real limits in performance, customization, and SEO. By the time most businesses hit those limits, they've already lost ground they didn't know they were losing.
I'm not sure what I need yet. Can you still help?
Absolutely - and this is where I do some of my best work. I'll ask the right questions to help you get clear on what the site should actually do before we start building anything. Sometimes that's a website. Sometimes it's something different.
Do you build more than websites?
Yes. My background is in systems, not just pages. If what you need is a web application, a booking system, or something more complex than a standard site, we can talk through that too - and I'll be honest if it's outside of scope.
What happens after the site launches?
I walk you through the handoff so you know exactly how to manage what you own. You won't be left with a site you can't touch without calling me first. If you need ongoing support, we can explore that separately.
