Soltheia  ·  Website Consulting & Design

You've built something good. Your website should show it.

Maybe your website needs one thoughtful correction, a clearer understanding of what is wrong, or a new foundation altogether. I help small businesses understand, improve, care for, and build websites — without assuming a full rebuild is always the answer.

Why it matters

First impressions happen online now.

People usually look you up before they reach out, and they are often doing it from their phone. Your website should make it easy to understand the business and take the next step.

A small-business website should be fast, clear, accessible, and structured well enough to be understood wherever discovery happens — search, maps, AI summaries, referrals, or direct visits.

What you get

What every Soltheia project is built on.

i.

Built around one clear action

Every page helps the visitor do what matters, whether that means calling, booking, or stopping by. The design follows your business instead of forcing it into a stock layout.

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.

Checked, documented, and shared

Every new build includes performance, automated accessibility, technical SEO, and security-header checks. I show you what was measured and explain where the tools' limits begin.

Ways I can help

Start with what the website actually needs.

Come with the problem, the goal, or the part that feels off. You do not need to name the service first.

Understand it

Website & Search Diagnostic

I review the website itself alongside its Google Search Console data, so you see both what visitors experience and what Google is observing — and how the two relate. You get written findings in priority order and practical options you can act on yourself or hire me to handle.

Improve it

Existing-website improvements

Keep the platform and website you already have while improving the parts that are getting in the way. I work within Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, WordPress, and other systems on search foundations, speed, mobile layout, forms, accessibility, copy, and design.

Build it

Custom small-business website

A custom 5–8 page website shaped around your business. I write the copy, build for phones and larger screens together, include two revision rounds, prepare the search foundations, and verify the finished site before launch.

Care for it

Managed Website Care

For sites I have reviewed and confirmed are stable enough for routine care. Each month I review Search Console and PageSpeed, explain meaningful changes, and handle clear, low-risk corrections that fit the agreed care scope. Anything requiring diagnosis or larger work is explained and quoted before I begin.

Common requests

Focused improvements Soltheia can make

These are examples, not the limits of the work. If the need is already clear, I can scope the improvement directly. If it isn't, a diagnostic identifies what's worth addressing before you commit.

Performance and mobile experienceImage optimization, loading speed, mobile layout, readability, navigation, and tap-target improvements

These are broad examples, not fixed packages. Once I understand what is happening and what the website needs to do better, I define the work and price the scope before anything begins. If the cause is not yet clear, I explain what needs to be investigated first.

Simple, honest pricing

A complete custom site, clearly scoped.

When a new site is the right answer, the standard build has one flat price. No leasing the website back from me: you pay for the build, and the finished site is yours.

The $2,500 flat rate is scoped for a custom-built 5–8 page small-business website, copywriting, two revision rounds, and pre-launch performance, automated accessibility, technical SEO, and security-header checks. You provide your logo, photos, and accurate business information. Expanded builds, additional revision rounds, extra pages, and ongoing support are scoped separately.

Know what you’re choosing

A template can be the right answer.

Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy can be practical ways to run a small-business website. Their subscription costs are part of the decision, but so are ease of editing, platform limits, and how well the site serves your customers. Soltheia can improve a site you already have or build a custom one when the existing platform no longer fits.

Wix
~$200–$470 / year
Light through Business plans, billed annually. A flexible visual builder can be a sensible fit when you want to manage the site yourself; pricing and platform limits vary by plan.
Squarespace
~$190–$470 / year
Basic through Plus plans, billed annually. Its structured system can make ongoing editing approachable, while more specialized needs may require custom work or another platform.
GoDaddy
~$120–$250 / year
Website Builder plans, billed annually. It can cover straightforward business needs quickly; performance, flexibility, and available features depend on the plan and implementation.
Soltheia
$2,500 for a standard custom build
A 5–8 page custom website with copywriting, two revision rounds, and documented pre-launch technical checks. It is one option — not the automatic answer when an existing platform can be improved responsibly.

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. Platform subscriptions, domains, apps, ecommerce, and third-party services may create additional ongoing costs.

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 check it

Before launch I run independent technical checks and share the results — performance, automated accessibility, technical SEO, and security headers. You can see what was tested, what the tools found, and where their limits begin.

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 →
