Small website.
Big credibility.

You need something that’s fast, easy to use, and looks like you’re playing to win.

Become the obvious choice in 10 seconds.

Here’s what you get for $999.

  • One professionally designed and built, mobile-friendly scrolling page.
  • A strong opening plus up to three supporting sections, typically what you do, why people should trust you, and how to reach you.
  • A simple contact option, such as click-to-call, email, or a standard contact form, as agreed in writing.
  • Design using the business details, text, and photos you provide.
  • One round of reasonable design revisions.
  • My 10-Second Yes method integrated into your site

With 20+ years of web design experience and building seven successful businesses of my own, I know your time is your most valuable asset. I also know how the costs of starting/running a business pile up.

Launchpad helps you with both challenges (time and money).

I’m here to take the time-intensive process of building a website off your plate at much lower price point. More importantly, doing it professionally.

The lower price comes from a lean scope:

  • One page (other packages available)
  • You supply content (I can help for an extra fee)
  • One round of revisions

You get a premium, professionally built foundation stripped of costly extras. It’s the perfect starting line, and we can easily build out a Phase 2 when you’re ready.

Already started a website and got stuck?

Send me the link and tell me where things stand.

If the job fits Launchpad’s one-page scope, I’ll say so. If it needs cleanup, repairs, or more involved work, I’ll explain that and quote it separately.

Either way, you’ll get a straight answer.

One page is enough for some businesses. Not all.

If you have one main offer and want people to understand it and contact you, Launchpad may be exactly right.

If you need several service pages, complex booking, an online store, or more strategy, I build larger websites too. I’ll recommend more only if your project actually calls for it.

No pressure to buy something you don’t need.

The Phone Test

Your mobile site is your handshake now.

Most prospects will meet your business on a small screen while distracted.

If the page is slow, cramped, or unclear, they will not work harder to understand it.

Launchpad is built mobile first, with:

  • Readable spacing
  • Clear headlines
  • Thumb friendly buttons
  • Fast, lightweight pages
  • One obvious path to contact

Open your current website on your phone and give it 10 seconds.

Is it obvious what you do?
Why someone should trust you?
What they should do next?

Selected brands and organizations I have worked with:

Why $999 and not $1,999?

Because we keep the job focused.

You provide: Your finished text, contact details, logo if you have one, any photos you want used, and the access needed for the site.

Not included: Domain, hosting, maintenance, paid software or subscriptions, copywriting, branding, SEO services, marketing, extra pages, online stores, complex features, or other work outside the agreed one-page design and build.

Anything extra gets a separate quote before work begins.

No mystery charges. We agree on the work and the price first.

“Working with Chris was completely effortless. He designed a stunning website without any bloated, unnecessary costs. He actually listened to what I needed, kept the project moving forward, and completely over-delivered on the final product.”

— Walter Sutherby

Good Work Should Not Look Ordinary

“Our old site made us look cheaper than we are. The new site finally matches the quality of our work and it’s helped us attract better paying clients. Now, we’re  proud to send people to our site. Goodbye mediocre.”

— Jason Rutherford

My Process

01. Quick Intake

Tell me what you do, who you serve, and what action visitors should take.

02. Structure First

I organize the page so visitors move from curiosity to trust to action.

03. Design and Launch

I build the visual direction, refine it within scope, and prepare the site for launch.

Design Direction Promise

You will see the visual direction before the full site is completed.

If the first direction does not feel right, I will refine it within the agreed scope before moving forward. Don’t worry, I got you.

You will also receive written pricing, scope, and timing before the project begins, so there are no surprise charges or moving goalposts.

Clear expectations. Direct communication. No disappearing act.

FAQ

Q: What’s included in the Launchpad?
Launchpad is a streamlined one-page build with a capped scope: you get up to 3 core sections on a single scrolling page, plus lead capture and the essentials.

Q: I found you on Craigslist. Is Launchpad the same quality as your other builds?
Yes. Same standards, same build quality, same designer. Launchpad is smaller scope… not lower quality. Think “studio apartment version”: compact, but done right.

Q: How long does it take?
Most Launchpads are done in 5–10 business days once I have your content.

Q: What platform is this built on?
WordPress or Shopify depending on fit: I’ll recommend the sensible option.

Q: Can I upgrade later?
Yes. This is built as an on-ramp (Phase 1). When you expand, we build Phase 2 without starting from zero.

Q: Do you offer hosting / maintenance?
Yes, I can provide both for an additional fee. Also, if you already have hosting, I can work with that too.
