Here's What I Usually Ask First
What information does your business rely on that's only in your head?
Your vendor list. Your customer contacts. Your pricing. Your schedule. If all of that lives in your memory or on a sticky note, that's where we start. Sometimes the answer is a simple spreadsheet on your phone. Sometimes it's a full CRM system. Either way, the goal is the same: get it out of your head, into a system, and accessible from anywhere.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost?
Small business websites start at $1,000 for a clean, professional, single-page site. Multi-page sites and e-commerce stores cost more depending on complexity. I'll give you a clear number after we talk about what you need.
What types of businesses do you work with?
Restaurants, home service companies, landscapers, salons, artists, crafters, professional services, real estate, and political campaigns. If you run a small business in Rhode Island, there's a good chance I can help.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most simple sites are ready in 5 to 10 business days. More complex projects like e-commerce stores can take a few weeks. I'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Do I need a CRM? What even is a CRM?
A CRM (customer relationship management system) is just a tool for keeping track of your customers and what's happening with each one. If you're managing that in your head or on paper right now, you probably need something better. It might be as simple as a shared spreadsheet or as involved as a dedicated platform like Monday.com. We'll figure out the right fit together.
What if I don't know what I need?
That's completely normal. Most of my clients start with a phone call, not a specific request. We'll talk through what's going on with your business and figure out together whether it's a website problem, a tools problem, or something else entirely. The call is free.
