Websites documentation
Planning, building, and launching a small business website that loads fast, gets found, and turns visits into calls and form fills.
A small business website has three jobs: prove the business is real, answer what a customer wants to know before calling, and make the call or the quote request easy. The failures that cost the most are the ones an owner cannot see from the homepage: a form that sends nothing, a placeholder phone number left in the code, or old pages that lose their rankings because nobody redirected them. These guides show how I plan, build, and launch a site so none of that ships.
If you own a business, start with the 10-minute check customers run before they call, then read the launch process so you know what a proper build involves before you hire anyone. If you build sites for clients, keep the pre-launch checklist open at go-live and wire every form the way forms that work describes.

- Fast, mobile-first sites built around what you want a visitor to do next.
