Minimalist design. Maximum clarity.
Start Simple. Look Legit. Get Sales.
Investment: $795– $950 (most land at $895)
5.0★ Google Reviews | 700+ builds | 20+ yrs | No outsourcing
Most people don’t need a big website.
They need something that looks clean, loads fast,
and makes them easy to trust.
👉 That’s what this is.
What This Is
This is a one-page website built to do three things:
- Show what you do
- Prove you’re legit
- Make it easy to contact you
No clutter. No confusion. No wasted pages.
You’ll see people offering $200–$500 websites.
Here’s the difference.
- I don’t outsource
- I don’t use bloated templates
- I don’t guess what converts
I’ve built 700+ sites over 20+ years,
and studied marketing at the Ross School of Business.
This is simple by design. Not by limitation.
How This Works
(so you don’t get burned)
-
Written scope (1 page) with clear pricing + timeline
-
Two easy invoices (down payment + completion)
-
Direct with me (no outsourcing)
-
No-ghosting policy: you get my cell + email progress updates until launch
-
Verify me anytime: “portfolio” + “expertise” ☝️ top-right menu + Google Reviews
The Problem:
“Looks fine”… but doesn’t sell
Websites don’t usually fail overnight… they drift. The design falls behind, the message gets muddled, and your best leads disappear quietly.
If your site is “nice” but the phone isn’t ringing, it’s failing at the one job that matters: turning strangers into inquiries.
Launchpad is the “digital plug” for that leak: fast, clean, and built to convert.
Why it costs more than $500
On Craigslist you can find a website for $500. You can also find a headache for $500.
Most cheap builds are templates + rushed setup: no conversion structure, no clarity, and no trust signals. They may look “fine” until you view them on a phone… or wait for leads that never come.
Launchpad is different: it’s built to convert… clean flow, mobile-first layout, speed essentials, and a clear call-to-action… so you don’t look like a gamble.
Who This Is For
This is for business owners who are just getting started and want an easy, credible way to get online without overcomplicating the process.
Launchpad is the no-brainer version of a new business website: clear scope, clean design, fast turnaround, and the essentials handled in one place.
This is a fit if you:
- need a clean online presence fast
- want to stop losing leads due to “I’m not sure what you do”
- have a simple offer and want one focused page that sells it
- want something you can upgrade later without rebuilding from scratch
- found options on Craigslist, but none felt clear, credible, or “done right”
This is not a fit if you:
- need 5–10 pages, complex menus, or lots of services
- need heavy custom features (membership, complex booking, portals)
- want “a bunch of design stuff” without conversion structure
The Launchpad (1-page) includes:
-
One conversion-focused page + lead capture
-
Clean brand polish + clear section flow
-
Basic SEO + speed/security essentials
Not included:
-
Multi-page sites, complex menus, advanced features
-
Custom apps/memberships/portals
-
“Unlimited revisions” (scope creep)
Pro tip: Before you hire anyone on Craigslist, look at their own site. If it’s slow, confusing, or looks like a template from 2012, that’s exactly what they’ll give you. My site is my resume.
Get Launched 🚀
Most new businesses do not need a huge website.
They need a strong first impression, clear messaging, a simple way for people to reach out, and a setup that does not become a mess later.
That means:
- less decision fatigue,
- less back-and-forth,
- and a faster path to looking like a real business people can trust.

“Chris made it simple. No upsell games, just a clean site that finally explains what we do. We started getting 300% more sales within weeks.” — Walter Sutherby
“No” to Mediocre
A mediocre website can only communicate one thing, “mediocrity.” With websites, people will always judge a book by its cover (2.6 seconds).
“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.” — Jason Rutherford
My Process
1) Intake (5 minutes)
You tell me what you do, who you serve, and what action you want people to take.
2) Structure first
I build the flow that gets a stranger from curiosity → trust → action.
3) Design second
Minimalist, modern, clean. Your site should signal competence in under 10 seconds.
Risk-Free Guarantee

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 (think: ~3 pages worth of content) on a single scrolling page, plus lead capture and the essentials (speed/security + basic SEO).
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 — optional. If you already have hosting, I can work with that too.
Q: Why shouldn’t I just use a $500 site or Wix / Squarespace?
You could. But a $500 site is a generic “business card” (at best). To put this bluntly, YOU wouldn’t buy a thing from a $500 website. They look like their 10-year-old nephew started a business. My websites are like a Smart Sales Team with a mastery of human behavior.
Cheap sites are usually slow, hard to use on mobile, and hemorrhage leads quietly. When you’re losing $500-$5,000 a week in missed revenue, that “cheap” site becomes the most expensive mistake you’ll ever make.
Q: What if I click your homepage and see higher prices?
That’s normal. My homepage includes complex multi-page builds and full-scale online ecosystems. Launchpad is the easy on-ramp: same standards, smaller build.
