What does a typical project cost?+
Reach out and I'll send you a quote — I'm starting out, so I can keep it as low as humanly possible. For context, most agencies and freelancers charge in these ranges: a simple landing page ~$1,000–$3,000, a full marketing site ~$3,000–$8,000, and e-commerce or larger builds ~$10,000+. I'll come in well under that. No two projects are alike, so send me a quick message and I'll get you a number.
How long does a project take?+
Most small marketing sites are ready in about 5–7 days. Bigger or more complex builds take longer — usually 2–3 weeks. Either way you get live previews as we go, so you always know where things stand.
Do you work with clients outside Utah?+
Absolutely. I work with founders and small businesses across the US, fully remote. Calls happen over Zoom.
