Freelance web design & app development · Sarasota, FL

Websites and apps, built properly.

I design and build fast, modern sites and custom applications for small businesses and founders in Sarasota and across Florida — from the first sketch to launch day, and every update after it.

  • Fixed-price quotes
  • Timelines agreed in writing
  • Direct with the person building it

Services

Three ways I can help.

Most projects start with one and grow into the next. Take what you need.

Website design & build

Marketing sites, landing pages and portfolios that load in under a second and look like you spent more than you did. Designed and coded from scratch — no bloated templates.

  • Custom design, built to your brand
  • Mobile-first and genuinely fast
  • SEO fundamentals and analytics wired in
  • You get the code — no platform lock-in

App development

Custom applications — booking systems, dashboards, internal tools, member portals. The software you can't buy off the shelf because your business doesn't work like everyone else's.

  • Web apps, dashboards, and internal tooling
  • Installs onto phones — no app store needed
  • Accounts, payments, and admin included
  • Built to be handed over and maintained
  • Shipped in stages, so you see it early

Care & growth

The part most freelancers disappear after. Hosting, updates, backups, speed and uptime monitoring — plus a monthly block of hours for the changes you'll inevitably want.

  • Security patches and dependency updates
  • Uptime and performance monitoring
  • Monthly content and design changes
  • Priority response when something breaks

Process

No mystery. No disappearing act.

You always know what's happening, what it costs, and what happens next.

  1. 01

    A real conversation

    A 30-minute call about what you actually need — not a sales pitch. You leave with a clear recommendation even if you never hire me.

  2. 02

    Fixed quote and plan

    A written scope with a fixed price and a delivery date. No hourly billing surprises, no "that'll be extra" halfway through.

  3. 03

    Design, then build

    You see and approve the design before a line of production code is written. Then I build it, sharing a live preview link as it grows.

  4. 04

    Launch, and after

    I handle the deploy, domain and analytics. Then 30 days of free tweaks, so the small things get fixed instead of lingering.

Pricing

Straight answers on cost.

Starting points, not final quotes. Every project gets a fixed price in writing before anyone commits to anything.

Founding-client pricing. These are launch rates for my first three projects, in exchange for a testimonial and permission to show the work.

Landing page

from$600

2–3 weeks

One high-converting page. Ideal for a launch, a campaign, or proving an idea before you build the whole thing.

  • Custom single-page design
  • Contact or signup form
  • Mobile-first, fully responsive
  • Deployed and live on your domain

Custom app

discovery$400

Then a fixed quote for the build

Custom software is too easy to underestimate, so it starts with a paid week of mapping instead of a guessed number. You leave knowing exactly what it costs.

  • Every feature and screen mapped out
  • An honest read on what's hard
  • A fixed price for the build itself
  • Yours to keep, even if you build elsewhere

Ongoing care plans from $75/month — hosting, updates, monitoring and a block of change hours. Available with any project above.

Who you're hiring

Hi — I'm Chad.

A freelance web designer and developer in Sarasota — and the only person who will touch your project.

No account manager, no handoff to someone you've never spoken to, no team that changes halfway through. That's the whole reason the quotes can be fixed and the timelines can be written down: when one person does the work, one person can tell you exactly what it costs, when it lands, and answer the phone afterwards.
