01 / WHAT WE DO

What does your
business need next?

Start with a website that explains your work. Get help keeping it up to date, setting up search, or making sure inquiries reach the right person.

01 / WEBSITE BUILDING

Make a great
first impression

A sharp, mobile-friendly website that shows what you do, makes it easy to get in touch, and feels like your business. New builds and focused refreshes are priced by scope.

Let’s talk about your website

02 / WEBSITE CARE & MANAGEMENT

Care that fits
your site and budget

CHECKS SIZED TO YOUR SITE

Keep your website useful with checks and updates that fit the way you use it. We agree what is included, how often we check it and when you can reach us. Extra repairs are quoted separately.

03 / SEO & SEARCH

Be ready when
customers search

We check indexability, sitemap, Search Console, page speed, and page clarity, then recommend or scope fixes. We focus on improvements we can explain, not ranking promises.

Talk about search

04 / EMAIL & INQUIRY SYSTEMS

Help inquiries reach
the right person

Make it easier to follow up when someone gets in touch. We review your website form and email setup, then test any changes with you. Your quote includes any separate email-service costs.

Let’s talk about your email

MEET INBOUND DESK

See what needs your attention

See how Inbound Desk could help your team sort incoming email and spot what needs a reply. Try the sample inbox, then talk to us about a pilot for your business.

Sample emails only. Your inbox stays private and nothing is sent.

Optional product in development: Custom agentic responses. Tailored replies and follow-up workflows built around your approved business information. Ask us about a scoped pilot.

Start with one useful improvement. Build from there.

02 / SEE THE CUSTOMER HANDOFF

See how an inquiry
gets handled

A customer asks for help through your website. See how their request could be organized, a reply prepared, and the next action left with you for review.

Start with the tools you already use.
Review important actions before they happen.

03 / BUILT HERE, WITH YOU

Work directly
with Ian

Hi, I’m Ian. I build websites and practical systems for independent service businesses, starting in the Charleston area. If your business is elsewhere, we can still talk about whether the project is a good fit. You work directly with the person building your project—from the first conversation to the final handoff.

/ 01

Your business comes first

We start with what needs improving, not a list of tools to sell you. Sometimes a simpler website is the right answer.

/ 02

You stay in the loop

Clear decisions, plain-English explanations, and human review where it matters. Helpful automation, not a black box.

/ 03

Keep it useful and manageable

A focused scope, an agreed price, and a handoff you can understand. Ongoing support is discussed up front.

04 / HOW WE WORK

A straightforward path
from idea to working better

Clear scope. An agreed price. A real person to work with. Let’s keep it straightforward.

  1. First, we listen

    Tell us what’s working, what’s getting in the way, and where you’d like your business to go.

  2. Then, we make a plan

    You get a focused recommendation with clear deliverables, pricing, and an agreed timeline before we build.

  3. Build, test and make it yours

    We build, review it together, and walk you through the finished work. Nothing launches without your approval.

05 / THE PRACTICAL DETAILS

Wondering where
to start?

You don’t have to know the technology.
Just tell us what you’d like to improve.

Can you refresh the website I already have?

Yes. We can start by reviewing your existing website, its content, and how it’s built. We’ll recommend a refresh when that makes sense, and explain when a rebuild would be more practical.

Do I have to change all my business tools?

Not necessarily. We first look at the tools you already use and what connections they support. Any new subscriptions, integration limits, or required changes are discussed before work starts.

What does a project cost?

You might need a small fix, one page or a larger website. We help you choose a useful starting point and explain the work, price, included changes and any ongoing costs before you decide. If services overlap, you won’t be charged twice for the same work.

Will AI send things without me checking them?

That’s a design decision we make with you, not a default promise. For sensitive or customer-facing tasks, we can build in review and approval. Each workflow needs its own testing, access controls, and agreed limits.

GOOD WORK STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION

Tell us about
your business

Tell us about the website you need, the one you want to improve, or an inquiry process that slows you down. We’ll discuss a sensible next step.
