Web design for small businesses
I build websites that help your businessgrow.attract clients.get noticed.make money.succeed.
You'll work directly with me — not a ticket queue, an account manager, or an outsourced dev team — on a site that's fast and secure by design, without the plugin-patching treadmill of WordPress or the locked-in page-builder bloat of Wix and Squarespace.

Why Work With Me
When you need a website, you're really choosing between three options: build it yourself, hire it out to an agency or freelancer, or work with me directly. Here's what actually differs.
Option 1: Do It Yourself
Wix, Squarespace, AI site generators
Who builds it
You do, alone
Site ownership
Locked into their platform forever
Security & updates
Handled for you, but you're stuck with their limits
Support
Self-serve help articles or chat support
Price
Cheapest upfront, but takes your own time
Option 2: Hire It Out
Agencies, Fiverr, Upwork
Who builds it
Account managers, ticket queues, or a rotating cast of contractors
Site ownership
Varies, often unclear
Security & updates
Frequently an ongoing plugin-patching treadmill
Support
Scheduled calls, response times vary
Price
$3,000–$15,000+ typical for comparable scope
Option 3: Hire Me
Westoak Web
Who builds it
Me, directly — every project, every time
Site ownership
Yours outright — code and hosting live in accounts you own
Security & updates
Built in by architecture, no patching treadmill
Support
Direct access to me, no ticket queue
Price
$1,500+ — personal service without agency overhead
Services
Everything your business needs to have a professional home online.
Website Design & Launch
A custom-designed, mobile-friendly website — built and launched for a fixed, one-time fee. No hourly surprises.
Hosting & Monthly Care
I handle fast, secure hosting and keep your site's security certificate active, plus up to 30 minutes of content updates each month — so your site just keeps working. Domain registration and renewal available as an add-on.
Built for fast, static sites — brochure sites, landing pages, and blogs. Need something more dynamic, like an online store or bookings? Let's talk — those get scoped individually.
How It Works
A simple, five-step process from first conversation to launch.
Discovery Call
I talk through your business, goals, and what you need your site to do.
Deposit & Draft
You pay a deposit and send over your content, images, and branding — then I build a first draft of your site.
Review & Revise
You review the draft and get one round of revisions to fine-tune it.
Staging Preview
See the finished site on a private preview link before anything goes live.
Launch
Once you're happy and the balance is paid, your site goes live.
Pricing
One fee to launch, one flat fee to keep it running. No surprises.

About Westoak Web
Westoak Web was started with one goal: help small businesses get a website that actually works for them. Too many small business owners are stuck with outdated sites, DIY builders, or agencies that overcharge and overcomplicate things.

Todd Demone
Founder & Web Developer
From local sports leagues to landscaping companies to personal brands, I've built sites for a wide range of small businesses and organizations. Every Westoak Web project is mine from the first call to launch — no handoffs along the way. If you're local, I'm also happy to meet in person to talk through your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions clients ask most often.
How many rounds of revisions do I get?
One round of revisions is included in the design fee, so you can request changes before anything is finalized.
What's included in the Monthly Care Plan?
Hosting, your site's security certificate, automated uptime monitoring, and up to 30 minutes of content updates each month.
What if I need more than 30 minutes of updates in a month?
Anything beyond 30 minutes is billed at a simple $50/hour rate — no surprise charges.
Do I own my website?
Yes — your site's code and hosting live in accounts that belong to you, not us, so you're never locked in.
What about my domain name?
Domain registration and renewal aren't included in the Care Plan, but it's available as an add-on, or you can manage it yourself.
Can I cancel the Monthly Care Plan?
Yes, anytime — there's no long-term contract. Since everything already lives in accounts you own, there's nothing to transfer if you cancel.
How long does a project take?
Most projects take 1–2 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and how quickly I get your content and feedback.
What tools do you build with?
Every site is hand-built with modern, fast tools rather than a page-builder platform like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace.
Do you build online stores or other dynamic sites?
My focus is fast, static sites — brochure sites, landing pages, and blogs. If you need something more dynamic, like an online store or bookings, let's talk — those get scoped individually.
