Custom Web Design
Hand-coded sites in Astro + TanStack. No templates, ever.
The problem
Most service-business websites are slow, fragile, and built on a stack that punishes the owner. Wix pages take six seconds to load on a phone. WordPress sites need monthly plugin babysitting just to stay online. Squarespace looks fine until you actually need to rank for something. None of that is the client's fault — it's a tooling problem.
How we fix it
I hand-code your site in Astro (when it's mostly static) or TanStack Start (when you need sign-ins, forms, or live data). Both run on Cloudflare — fast loads everywhere, no server to maintain, no plugins to update. You get a real codebase you own, handed to you on day one. If we ever part ways, you take it and host it anywhere.

Plain answers, no marketing speak.
Q · 01 How long does a build take?
Five business days for a standard 5-page service-business site. Two weeks for builds with custom backend work (forms, booking, multi-page programmatic SEO). You see a live preview on day three; the second 50% payment doesn't clear until you approve it.
Q · 02 Why not WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?
Page builders are slow on phones and lock you into a vendor. A hand-coded Astro site loads in under a second, ranks better, and survives plugin-hell churn. If your business depends on the site bringing in calls, you want code, not a drag-and-drop.
Q · 03 Do I own the site after launch?
Yes. The code, the domain, the Cloudflare account — all yours. If we part ways, you take the repo and host it anywhere. There's no lock-in.
