A look at what’s possible

Small business.
Big first impression.

Different businesses need different personalities. Here are two directions a website could take.

Design explorations for fictional businesses, shown to demonstrate style and layout. These are concepts, not completed client projects.

THE PERSON BEHIND SITESMITHATX
“Your business is personal.
I think building your website should be, too.”
Jorge
Founder & website builder

Hey, I’m Jorge.

Your website guy.
Right here in Austin.

I started SiteSmith to help small businesses look as good online as they are in person. There are a lot of great local businesses with websites that don’t tell their story very well. I want to help change that.

When we work together, you talk directly with me. I’ll get to know what you do, help figure out what your website needs, and build something you’re proud to put your name on.

You bring the knowledge of your business. I’ll bring the care and attention to your website.

Austin, TexasIndependent & hands-on

How we get there

From “I need a website”
to “take a look.”

A straightforward process, with room for your ideas along the way.

01 / LET’S TALK

Tell me about your business.

What you do, who you help, and what’s missing from your current site. No technical knowledge needed.

02 / MAKE A PLAN

Know what you’re getting.

We agree on the pages, features, price, and timeline before the build begins.

03 / BUILD & REFINE

See it come together.

I build your site and share it for feedback. We work through the agreed revisions together.

04 / GO LIVE

Put your best work online.

We check the details, connect your domain, and launch. I’ll walk you through the handoff.

Let’s talk numbers

A clear quote. Before we start.

A focused one-page website and a full redesign are different projects. Tell me what you need and I’ll put together a quote that explains exactly what’s included.

A few good questions

Let’s clear
a few things up.

Something else on your mind? Just ask. I’m happy to talk it through.

How much will my website cost?

That depends on the number of pages, the features you need, and how much content is ready. After we talk, I’ll give you a written quote with the scope, payment schedule, and any separate costs. You can decide before committing.

How long does a website take?

A simple site takes less time than a larger redesign. I’ll give you a realistic timeline once I know the scope and what content we have to work with. Feedback and getting photos and text together are part of that schedule.

I already have a website. Can you improve it?

Yes. Send me the link and tell me what isn’t working for you. I’ll take a look and explain whether a focused refresh or a new build makes more sense for your goals.

Do I need to write everything and supply photos?

Bring whatever you have: your logo, service list, photos, and a few notes about the business. I can help organize the content and shape the wording. If we need new photography or licensed assets, we’ll discuss that before adding costs.

Will it work on phones and show up on Google?

I build with mobile layouts and search-friendly basics, including page titles, descriptions, headings, and readable content. Search rankings depend on many factors, so I don’t promise a specific position or number of leads.

Will I own my website?

Your domain and hosting should be in accounts you control. The project agreement will spell out ownership and the handoff of the finished site. Any third-party assets or services will keep their own license terms.

Can you help after it launches?

Yes. Content changes, new pages, and ongoing support can be arranged separately. We’ll agree on what’s included and the cost before I make additional updates.

Do you only work with Austin businesses?

Austin is home, and I enjoy working with local businesses. I’m also happy to work remotely with businesses elsewhere. We can collaborate by email and scheduled calls.

Let’s make something good

A better website
starts with
a conversation.

Tell me a little about your business and what you have in mind. I’ll personally get back to you to talk through the next step.

No pressure. No technical homework. Just a starting point.
