You're paying rent
on a website you don't own.

I rebuild sites for small businesses stuck on Weebly, Wix, Webador, or WordPress.com and move them to something they own.

$1,000+

Typical spend on Wix or Weebly over three years. You still don't own the site.

Pay once.

One project fee for a site you keep. After launch it's usually domain plus hosting, not another monthly builder bill.

Fix the first impression.

Customers judge you in 3 seconds. I turn cluttered builder pages into clear stories: who you are, what you do, how to book or buy — on phone and desktop.

Show up in search.

I wire up titles, pages, and schema for Google. Same copy helps when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity about businesses like yours.

That monthly charge? It's not buying you a website.

It's renting their editor. Cancel and your online presence can vanish. I move you to something you keep.

What three years on a locked-in builder often costs. You rent the editor; you don't own the site.

Platform Per month (approx.) ~3 years
Weebly $10–$26 $360–$940+
Wix $17–$36 $610–$1,300+
Squarespace $16–$27 $575–$975+
Webador $6–$28 $215–$1,000+
WordPress.com $9–$25 $325–$900+

Public list prices (2025–2026). Ecommerce plans and add-ons run higher.

Squarespace design

I specialize in Squarespace

Givens and Restorative Kinetics were already on Squarespace with a year prepaid. They hired me to design the site, not to leave the platform.

Out of the box

Same theme as the next shop.

Drag-and-drop ceiling.

What I add

Your layout and tools.

Reads like a custom site.

Custom code my HTML, CSS, and JavaScript pasted into the page

HTML Page structure the section picker won't give you
CSS Type, spacing, motion, mobile fixes
JS Calculators, Calendly hooks, maps, interactive blocks

Already on Squarespace? I can work inside your plan and build pages the editor won't. Two live sites below.

Live Squarespace Givens Fire & Forestry CASE STUDY

Givens Fire & Forestry

Forestry & fire services · Oregon

Result: Squarespace site with cord-wood and tree-work calculators, forestry branding, SEO for service area and offerings.
Live Squarespace Restorative Kinetics CASE STUDY

Restorative Kinetics

Fitness & corrective exercise

Result: Eleven Squarespace pages, not one long scroll. Calendly, Maps, glass UI, four calculator URLs aimed at specific fitness searches.
Testing before handoff: I work in QA and test automation (government contracts and private software). I run your forms, booking links, and mobile layout before the final invoice, not when a customer emails you angry.
SEO, AI search, security (technical)

SEO: Titles, meta, JSON-LD, sitemaps, internal links, calculator pages where they earn clicks.

AI search: Plain FAQ and service copy that Google Overviews and chat search can quote without keyword stuffing.

Security: HTTPS, forms checked, no keys in the repo. QA portfolio: mrjohn5on.github.io

Tell me what platform you're on and what's broken. I'll say if a revamp makes sense.

I also do logos, cards, decals, and print at Life of Logos.
