Soltheia is a one-person studio, which means you work directly with me from the first conversation through launch. The person designing and building your site is the same person you'll talk to the whole way through.
Sol is the sun. Theia is the Greek Titaness of sight and shining things — the one the old poets called mother of the Sun, the Moon, and the Dawn, the source from which all light was said to proceed. Pindar wrote that it’s because of her that people prize gold above everything else: she gives worthy things their gleam, and makes their value plain to see.
That’s the whole idea behind the work. A good business already has the substance — the skill, the care, the reputation earned one job at a time. What it’s often missing is the light: a place online that lets people see that worth clearly, instead of squinting at something slow, dated, or templated. I don’t manufacture value you don’t have. I take what’s already real about your business and put it where people can finally see it.
It’s also why this site greets you at dawn.
I build websites for small businesses — contractors and trades, local shops, and service businesses. You're great at what you do; my job is to handle the design, the build, and all the small decisions in between, so your business shows up online the way it deserves to.
Most of my clients come to me at a similar point: an older site that isn't keeping up anymore, a website builder they started but never quite finished, or no site yet at all. Wherever you're starting from, I help you put a website in place that does your business justice.
I genuinely love this work, and I think it shows in the details — how quickly a page loads, how easy it is to find what matters, how well everything reads on a phone. Those small things add up to a website that works as hard as you do.
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.
And you don't just take my word for it. Every site I build comes with real performance, accessibility, and security scan results before launch, so you can see exactly how solid your new site is.
If that sounds like the kind of website you've been wanting, I'd love to hear from you.
Clear pricing, real timelines, and the actual scan results behind every site. No jargon, no upsell maze.
You work directly with me from start to finish — one person who knows your project inside and out and stays with it the whole way.
Polished, accessible, easy to update — and yours to own. A site that still performs and still looks current years from now.
