Founding Client Program

A Better Way to Build a Website.

I'm selecting three businesses or startups for my Founding Client Program to experience a more transparent way to build a website through a dedicated client portal. You get a professionally built Starter Website, a $1,400 value, at no cost. In return, you help me refine a client experience I'm building to be the best in the business.

The Exchange

What's the Catch?

The catch, in full I'm building my portfolio and refining a client portal I'm genuinely proud of. I need three partners who'll collaborate and tell me the truth about the experience.

Every application lands in my inbox, and every site in this program is designed and built by me personally. More about how I work.

What you receive

A real, professional website you fully own.

Designed and built by me, start to finish. The strategy, structure, custom code, and a launch you're part of every step of the way. Nothing about the build is "free-tier." It's the same Starter Website my clients pay $1,400 for.

What I ask in return

  • A testimonial — a few honest sentences when we launch.
  • Portfolio permission — I feature your finished site in my showcase.
  • Prompt content — your text, images, and business details when I need them.
  • Weekly feedback — one focused check-in per week during the build.
  • Portal honesty — tell me the truth about the client portal as you use it.

These five asks are the full terms — nothing hidden. If you're selected, we both confirm the mutual commitments in writing before the build starts.

The Build

What's Included

  • Up to 3 pages
  • Mobile responsive
  • Contact form
  • Basic SEO setup
  • Clean, fast custom code
  • A handoff session so you can manage it

Doesn't include hosting, domain registration, ecommerce, or advanced integrations, but I'm happy to advise you on hosting and domain setup so you start on the right footing. I can scope additional features and pages you would like separately at standard pricing.

The Fit

Who I'm Looking For

  • U.S.-based business or startup
  • Ready to collaborate and respond promptly
  • Willing to give a testimonial
  • Happy to be shown in my portfolio
  • Wants to be part of building something, not just receiving itIf that last one made you nod, you're exactly who this is for.
