Fully Custom Build

How It Works

The process is straightforward and I walk you through every step:

1. We meet (via Zoom or email) to discuss your vision, needs, and goals. I'll ask about your business, your audience, what you want the site to do, and anything that matters to you.
2. I recommend Hostinger for your hosting and domain — it's the platform I personally use and trust. It's reliable, affordable, and easy to navigate. I'll guide you through creating your account, selecting a hosting plan, and purchasing your domain so you're never on your own.
3. Once your Hostinger account is set up, you grant me FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access. This lets me connect directly to your server and deploy your site files — you don't need to understand the technical side, just share access and I handle the rest.
4. I build your site. You'll be kept in the loop throughout the process with updates and previews before anything goes live.
5. We review the completed site together, make any agreed revisions, and launch.

Important: How Site Updates Work

Because this is a fully hand-coded site — not a drag-and-drop platform — there is no editor or dashboard for you to log into and make changes yourself. This is actually a feature, not a limitation: your site is clean, fast, and not dependent on any third-party platform staying operational. When you need an update, a new page, or a content change, you reach out to me and I take care of it. Many clients find this is exactly what they want — a site that just works, without the burden of managing it themselves.

Service Includes:

• 100% custom-coded website (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP)
• No WIX, no page builders — clean, original code
• Guidance setting up your Hostinger account and selecting a plan

• Custom application features as needed (see below)
• Agreed rounds of revisions before launch

Custom Application Services

One of the biggest advantages of going fully custom is that there are no platform limitations. If WIX can't do it, we can build it. Examples of custom application features I can develop include:

• Custom contact forms and intake workflows
• Database-driven content (menus, listings, catalogs)
• Client portals and member login systems
• Custom calculators or configurators
• Booking and scheduling logic
• E-commerce and payment processing
• API integrations with third-party services
• Admin panels for managing your own content
• Anything else your business specifically needs

Investment: Custom Quote

Because every fully custom project is different in scope, complexity, and features, pricing is determined after our initial consultation. That said, I'm committed to keeping custom development accessible — just like my other packages, affordability matters. After we talk through what you need, I'll provide a clear, itemized quote so you know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before any work begins. Payment terms typically include a deposit to start, with the balance due before launch.

Your hosting and domain costs through Hostinger are separate and paid directly by you — typically very affordable (often under $100/year depending on the plan). I'll help you find the right option for your needs.

Ideal For:

• Any Business Type or Industry
• Projects That Outgrow Template Builders
• Businesses Needing Custom Functionality
• Clients Who Want Full Ownership of Their Site
• Applications Beyond What WIX Can Offer
• Entrepreneurs Who Want a Professional, Hands-Off Site
