I build custom-coded websites for businesses in Rochester and the towns around it, and automate the office work that comes back every week. Every job has a fixed price, agreed in writing before I start.
Automation
Some jobs come back every week and take longer than they should. I set them up to run on their own, inside the software you already use. If one isn't worth it, I'll tell you.
It starts with a short conversation, by email or phone.
An audit. We sit down for 45 minutes and you walk me through a normal week.
A report. Like the example here: your own numbers, and a price on every fix.
A build, if it's worth it. The audit fee comes off the price within 60 days.
Not worth fixing
An example. Yours would use your own numbers.
Website services
Most people who call me are in one of three places. The work is different for each, and so is the price.
People search for you and find a Facebook page, or nothing. One well-made page fixes that, usually within a week.
It's slow, out of date, or nobody has the login anymore. I rebuild it in an account in your name, so the keys are yours.
Several services, a gallery of real work, and a contact form that reaches you. Three to five pages, live in about two weeks.
No plugins to patch and nothing that breaks when a platform changes. It stays quick.
The site and domain are in your name. If you stop the monthly plan, it keeps running.
Most customers find you on a phone. The number is one tap away, and every page is checked on a real phone.
It starts with a short conversation, by email or phone.
One number for a defined job, with what is included and what isn't. Half is due up front and half when the site is live.
I write the copy from what you told me, so you are never handed a blank page to fill in. You see the site complete, we adjust it twice, and then it goes live.
Call or email me directly with changes. On a monthly plan I keep it updated and backed up. Without one, it still runs in your account.
Work
These are demo builds for fictional businesses, made the same way I would make yours. The case studies explain why each one is put together the way it is.
Five pages for a seasonal trades business, planned around a customer who is looking at their own yard with a phone in one hand.
A single page for a downtown cafe, built around the two things people check first: when it's open and how to find it.
The test loads each page the way an ordinary phone on a weak signal would. Both sites are live, so you can try them on your own phone.
Prices
Published so you can decide before picking up the phone. Every job is still quoted in writing before work starts.
For an office where the same work comes back every week.
First five clients: $250, in exchange for permission to write up the project as a case study.
Priced at roughly three to six months of what it saves you.
For a business whose customers mainly need to find you, call you, and see that you are real.
For a business with more than one thing to say, or a site that needs replacing properly.
For an office where people book, log in or pay on the site. It starts with the $500 audit, which comes off the price. Built around the systems you already use.
I run the site for you and keep it updated, current and backed up.
For a business that changes things often.
Smaller jobs start at $300, and I will tell you if one isn't worth doing.
Photos matter more than most people expect. Before we start, I'll give you a short list of what to take on your phone.
I don't promise search rankings or traffic, because nobody can honestly. I also don't run ads, post to social media or design logos. Your payments stay with Square, Shopify or whoever handles them now.
About
I'm Tim Stanislav. I grew up in Rochester and went to John Marshall, and for six years I set up and maintained the navigation on 3M's websites worldwide. Now I build websites and take the busywork out of office weeks for businesses here.
When you hire me, you work with me directly, from the first conversation to the day the work goes live. There's no account manager and nobody I hand your project to.
I love traveling to places I haven't seen yet and hiking the trails I find there. I find time in nature beautiful and fascinating.
Contact
Email me, or call if that's easier. A first conversation takes about fifteen minutes.
