Industrial pumps and controls

Kennedy Industries

Plant managers come looking for one part or one repair. I sorted pumps, valves, and repairs so they go straight to what they need.

Choice 1 Restoration logo
Home restoration

Choice 1 Restoration

Someone with a leaking roof needs the phone number fast. I put a tap-to-call button at the top of every page.

Repair My Appliance Ohio

When a washer quits, people want help today. The phone number and the towns they cover sit right up front.

Prices

What a website costs

Here’s the price up front. No surprise bills later.

Website build

$499 one time

Up to 5 pages, made to work well on all devices, live in about a week.

Or spread it out

$99 down, then $50 a month

Same website. No interest, paid off in 8 months.

Keep It Running

from $50 a month

Hosting, daily backups, your site watched around the clock, and one small change each month. $50 a month on a 3-year plan.

What’s going on with your website?

Tap what fits or tell me in your own words. I’ll ask a few quick questions and then tell you what I’d do. No pitch.

I read every question myself. If I’m free, I’ll hop into this chat with you.

Or tap the one that sounds like your situation to see how I’d handle it.

The fix

A dated site can make people think you’re closed.

When a site looks old, visitors wonder if you’re still in business and move on. I’d keep what’s working and fix what isn’t.

  • A design that fits your business, not a stock template
  • Easy to read and use on all devices
  • Everything you have now comes with you, so people who find you on Google today still will
  • Simple for you to update after launch
Web designRedesignHosting

The fix

Let’s make it easy for Google to recommend you.

When someone nearby searches for what you do and finds a competitor, it’s usually because Google isn’t sure what you offer or where. That’s fixable.

  • Clean up your Google Business Profile: categories, hours, service area, photos
  • Give each service its own page, in the words your customers use
  • Fix the behind-the-scenes issues that hold good pages back
  • Send you a short monthly report with real numbers from Google
Local SEOGoogle Business Profile

The fix

Your site should load fast and stay up.

A slow site sends people back to Google. Often the answer is better hosting and regular care, not a new website.

  • Fast, managed hosting
  • Daily backups kept for 30 days
  • Updates and security handled for you
  • A real person to call whenever you need help
HostingMaintenance

The fix

Make changes yourself, free, any time.

You shouldn’t have to pay me every time you want to update your site. I’ll show you how, at your pace.

If you’d rather not, I’m here.

  • One-on-one training, in person or remote
  • Simple written steps you keep
  • Or send me the changes any time
  • Training for your whole team if they need it
TrainingWebsites

The fix

A simple tool can replace the spreadsheet juggling.

When work lives in email chains and copy-paste, things get missed and hours disappear. A small app built around how you work can give that time back.

  • Client portals, booking, and job tracking
  • Set up the way your team already works
  • Works on all devices
  • Hosted, supported, and taught to your staff
AppsPlatformsPortals

The fix

I’ll come out and fix it.

Printers, Wi-Fi, new computers, software installs. I come to you anywhere in Summit County, fix it, and show you what I did.

  • Printer and scanner setup
  • Wi-Fi and network fixes
  • New computer setup and file transfer
  • Remote help when a visit isn’t needed

By kind of business

Websites for your kind of business

Find your type of business below.

Each card shows what your customers are looking for when they visit, and what I’d put on your site so they find it fast.

Tap “Click around” to try a sample site.

Restaurant

Restaurant website design

People check your menu, hours, and whether they can get a table, usually on their phone, before they pick where to eat. I put your real menu right on the page instead of a PDF, mark the vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, and let guests book a table in a few taps.

Plumbing and HVAC

Plumber and HVAC website design

When a pipe bursts, people want a number to tap and proof you serve their street. I keep a call button on every screen, list the towns you serve, and show a ballpark price so they call you first.

Salon

Hair salon website design

Clients want to book with their favorite stylist without calling while your hands are full. I set up online booking where they pick their stylist, plus a clear price list and gift cards they can buy any time.

Online store

Coffee shop website and online store

If you sell beans or merch online, buying has to be easy and your stock has to be right. I build product pages, a simple checkout, subscriptions for regulars, and clear labels for sold out, on sale, and pre-order.

Dental

Dental office website design

New patients want to know if you take their insurance and how to get in. I add an insurance checker, a new-patient request form, and answers to the questions your front desk hears every day.

Corporate

Corporate website design

A bigger company has customers, partners, and job seekers all looking for different things. I give each one their own path: shipment tracking, a locations map, a careers page, and a direct line to sales.
