01 — What’s included
I build on WordPress when your team needs to edit content and on Next.js when you need something custom. Either way the site ships with the fundamentals that most local sites miss: real performance budgets, accessibility, structured data for your services and location, and tracking that tells you which pages produce leads.
- 01Discovery session: goals, customers, competitors, and the pages you actually need
- 02Custom design, mobile-first, matched to your brand
- 03WordPress or Next.js build with an editable content structure
- 04Local SEO foundation: service and location pages, schema markup, Google Business Profile setup
- 05Contact, quote, or booking flows with spam protection
- 06Hosting setup, analytics, documentation, and a handoff session
Local context — Sarasota
Sarasota has a strong arts, hospitality, and professional-services economy alongside the usual coastal trades. Businesses here often have an established site with years of content and rankings worth protecting, which makes careful migrations and redesigns, not from-scratch rebuilds, the right call more often than not.
Websites rarely need only one thing done to them. For Sarasota businesses I also take on website speed in Sarasota and website migration in Sarasota, and just up the road I cover business websites in Fort Myers and business websites in Cape Coral.
Business websites in Sarasota
A new Sarasota business enters a market with established names in the arts, hospitality, and professional services. The site has to look credible immediately, load fast, and make the next step obvious, whether that is booking, buying, or calling. I build it with local search structure for Sarasota and the surrounding area, so it is found as well as it presents.
Who I build for in Sarasota
- Arts, culture, and nonprofitsEvent calendars, ticketing or donation links, and accessible design matter, because the audience spans every age and device.
- Tourism and hospitalityVisitors plan on phones, often from out of state, so fast pages, clear directions, and booking links decide who gets the reservation.
- Professional servicesLaw, financial, and medical offices need a credible site with clear practice-area pages and contact paths that respect privacy.
- Coastal trades and home servicesA page for each trade and area, plus a simple quote form, turns local searches into calls.

03 — Process
Four steps and no surprises: you approve the scope before work starts and the site before it launches.
01
Discovery
A short call or email exchange about your goals, your customers and what is not working today. Free, with no commitment.
02
Proposal
A written scope, timeline and fixed price, so you know exactly what you are getting before anything starts.
03
Development
The work happens on a staging site you can open at any time, with plain-language updates at agreed checkpoints.
04
Delivery
Testing, a launch in a low-traffic window, documentation and a handoff session, then support while your team settles in.
04 — Questions
01Can we meet in person in Sarasota?
Yes, when it helps. Most Sarasota projects run remotely by video call and email, and I can meet in person for a kickoff or launch review.
02We have years of content. Can you keep it?
Yes. Preserving existing content and rankings is the core of how I handle migrations and redesigns. Every page is inventoried and either kept at the same address or redirected, and nothing is removed without your approval.
03What happens after launch?
You own the site outright. I offer optional maintenance for updates, backups, and security, or hand everything over with documentation if you prefer to manage it yourself.
04WordPress or something custom?
WordPress for most local businesses: your staff can edit it, and the ecosystem covers bookings, menus, and e-commerce. Next.js when you need a web application, integrations, or very high performance. I will recommend one during discovery.
05How long does a new business website take?
Four to eight weeks from kickoff to launch for a typical Sarasota business, with most of the variance coming from how quickly content and photos arrive.
05 — Service areas
I work with businesses across Florida, on both coasts. Pick your city for details specific to your area.
