Your business is better than your website makes it look.

If your site is outdated, hard to use on a phone, or just isn't there yet, you're losing customers to businesses that look more put-together online. I build custom websites for small businesses that fix exactly that — one flat price, and the site is yours to keep.

Why it matters

First impressions happen online now.

These days, people look you up before they ever reach out — usually on their phone. A website that's clear, easy to use, and truly your own makes that first impression an easy yes, and gives people a reason to choose you.

What you get

What every Soltheia site is built on.

i.

Built around one clear action

Every page points your visitor toward the thing that matters — calling, booking, or stopping by. No clutter, no guessing, no template with your name dropped on top.

ii.

Built for every screen

Phone, tablet, or desktop — your site is designed and built for all of them together, so it looks right and works smoothly everywhere your customers find you.

iii.

Proven, not promised

Every site ships with its real performance, accessibility, and SEO scores attached. You see the actual numbers — not just my word that it's good.

Simple, honest pricing

One flat price. You own it outright.

No monthly fees, no leasing your own website back from someone else. You pay once, the site is yours to keep, and you'll always know exactly what it costs.

The $1,250 flat rate is scoped for a custom-built 5–8 page small-business website, two revision rounds, and three pre-launch scans: performance, accessibility, and security. Expanded builds, additional revision rounds, extra pages, and ongoing support are scoped separately.

The honest comparison

What a template really costs.

The low monthly price looks like the affordable choice — but it isn't cheap, it's rented. Drag-and-drop builders charge you every month for as long as you keep your site, and the day you stop paying, the site goes with it. Here's roughly what the popular ones run for a small-business site, billed annually.

Wix
~$200–$470 / year
Light through Business plans, billed annually; renewal rates climb after the first term. Stop paying and your site reverts to a free Wix address with their ads on it.
Squarespace
~$190–$470 / year
Basic through Plus plans, billed annually; published renewal rates are higher than the first-year price. The site lives on their platform, not yours.
GoDaddy
~$120–$250 / year
Website Builder plans, billed annually; renewal rates climb and add-ons are upsold at checkout. When the subscription ends, so does the site.
Soltheia
$1,250 once — then $0 / month
A standard custom site, built and proven, with no subscription after it. Your only ongoing cost is the domain itself — roughly $12–$20 a year, at cost. Over five years a builder runs $1,000–$2,400 and leaves you with nothing; this is paid once and stays yours.

Figures are typical small-business plans billed annually, set by each platform and current as of 2026 — check the links above for today's exact rates.

A partner for the rest

Logos and brand identity, by Crescent Lore.

I build the site. The visual identity that lives on it — a primary and secondary logo, a favicon, business cards, a full brand identity — comes from Crescent Lore, a visual design studio. Starting from scratch or refreshing a look you've outgrown, they create the brand; I bring it into the site.

Already have branding you love? Then it's just the site. Want a new or updated identity to launch with? I'll put you in touch.

How it works

Five simple steps, start to launch.

We talk

Tell me about your business, your customers, and what you want your website to do — bring in calls, visits, or bookings. A real conversation, no jargon.

I design it

I create a custom design built around your business and your customers. You see it early, so we lock in the right direction before the full build.

I build it

The full site comes together — polished, easy to use, and sharp on every device. Two rounds of revisions keep you in control without dragging on for months.

I prove it

Before launch I run the three scans and hand you the results — performance, accessibility, and security. You see exactly how solid your new site is, in numbers.

You go live — and own it

We launch your site and it's yours to keep. Your business looks the way it should online, ready for customers to find you and reach out.

Why "Soltheia"

A name about making good work visible.

Soltheia joins two names for one idea — light. Sol is the sun; Theia is the Greek Titaness of sight and shining things, mother of the Sun, the Moon, and the Dawn, the source the old poets said all light proceeds from. Pindar wrote that it's because of her that people prize gold at all: she gives worthy things their gleam, and makes their value plain to see. That's the whole idea here — I don't manufacture worth you don't have. I take what's already real about your business and put it where people can finally see it. More about me →
