Web design & build for small businesses
For businesses that don't have a website yet, and for the ones that haven't touched theirs in years. A clear price before we start, a real project plan, and a site that brings in work.
Sound familiar?
All of them are great at what they do. None of them wants to spend a month learning what a "discovery retainer" is.
You don't need anything fancy. You need a clean, fast site that says who you are, what you do, and how to reach you, and that shows up when someone in town searches for it. I handle the domain, the hosting, and every part that feels technical.
Start with a first websiteYou know it needs a refresh. You've been putting it off because you expect an agency to quote a number with too many zeros. A refresh doesn't have to mean starting over, and it doesn't have to be a mystery price.
See how a refresh worksYour work, your story and your results on one fast page with your own domain. Put the link on your resume and LinkedIn and let the people deciding see what you've actually done.
Portfolio sites from $750Most people avoid digital agencies because of the price tag. Fair. You're not paying for a building full of account managers here. You're paying one person who plans, designs, builds and launches your site, and who tells you the price before any work starts.
What I build
A sharp homepage, your services, your story, and a contact or quote form that lands in your inbox. Google-ready from day one.
Keep what works, fix what doesn't. A new design, faster load times, a layout that works on phones, and content that's finally current.
One focused page for one offer, one season or one audience, with the form, the tracking and the follow-up wired in.
Hosting, edits, backups, and a monthly speed and search check, so the site keeps working after launch and you always have one person to call.
One-hour sessions for you or your team, and plain-English guides to Copilot, Claude Code and office AI.
How it works
By day I lead enterprise technology programs as a professional project manager. Your website gets the same discipline: one owner, a written plan, weekly updates, and no surprises on the invoice.
A 30-minute call. What you do, who you want to reach, and what you already have: a logo, photos, a domain, an old site. I listen more than I talk.
You get: a plain-English summary of what the site needs to doA written scope, a fixed price and a timeline, in one page. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before anything starts.
You get: scope, price and dates in writingHomepage first. You react, we adjust, you approve. Nothing gets built on a guess, and you never have to imagine what "modern" means.
You get: a homepage you've signed off onA weekly update with a live link. Watch it come together, leave comments, and see the plan tracked against the dates we agreed.
You get: a status note every week, even when it's just "on track"Domain, hosting, analytics and Google Business set up and tested. A short training video so you can make small edits yourself, plus 30 days of included fixes.
You get: a live site, the keys to it, and someone to callI run multi-million-dollar technology programs for a living. Your project is smaller, but the discipline is identical.
Pricing
Starting points, not surprises. Every quote is fixed-price and in writing, so the only number that changes is the one on your estimate while you build it.
For businesses that need to exist online, properly, and fast.
For businesses ready to win work from their website.
For sites that need a reset, not a rebuild.
Every project is different, so these are honest starting points. The quote builder gives you a planning range in about three minutes, and the real quote is fixed before anything starts.

Who you're working with
I'm a professional project manager. I spend my days running enterprise technology programs, which means plans, budgets, risks, and a lot of people counting on dates being real. I'm also a mechanical engineer by training and a fine woodworker under the Yoergoods name on nights and weekends.
Yoergoods Digital is where those things meet: craftsmanship, engineering, and project discipline, pointed at small-business websites. I treat a contracted website with the same excellence I bring to a multi-million-dollar program. Same written plan. Same weekly status. Same refusal to let a surprise reach the invoice.
If you've avoided agencies because the process felt opaque and the price felt like a trap, this is the alternative: one person, a clear plan, a fixed number, and a site that works harder than the one your competitor has.
Questions people ask first
Most sites I build land between $1,200 and $2,800 plus extras, and a refresh of an existing site starts at $900. The quote builder gives you a planning range in a few minutes, and the real quote is fixed in writing before any work starts. The number we agree on is the number you pay.
A Launch site is typically live in two weeks. A Grow site takes three to five weeks depending on how many pages and how quickly you can review. You get a dated plan up front and a status note every week, so there is never a question about where things stand.
No. Most new businesses start with a name and a phone number. I can write the copy with you from a short conversation, tidy up or create a simple logo, and plan the photos you need (your own phone photos are often better than stock). The quote builder asks about each of these so nothing is a surprise later.
Usually, yes, and it is the cheaper route. A refresh keeps your pages, your content and your Google history, and gives them a new design, faster load times and a layout that works on phones. If the old site is genuinely holding you back, I will tell you so and quote a rebuild instead.
Included in setup. I register or transfer your domain in your name (you own it, always), set up fast hosting, connect your business email and Google Business Profile, and hand you the logins. A care plan is available if you would rather never think about any of it again.
Every site ships search-ready: fast load times, mobile-first layout, clean page titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap, and service pages written around what your customers actually type. No one can promise a ranking, but I can promise the site will not be the reason you are missing.
Because the thing that goes wrong with web projects is rarely the design. It is the scope creeping, the dates slipping, and the invoice growing. Managing those three things is literally my profession. You get one owner who plans the work, builds it, and is accountable for the date and the number.
Ready when you are
Three minutes in the quote builder gets you a planning range. A 30-minute call gets you a fixed price. No pressure at either step.
