For students
You have the idea.
We build it together.
If you are starting something — selling, making, mowing lawns, whatever it is — I will sit down with you after school and we will put it online. You do the deciding and a lot of the building. You leave with a real site on your own domain, and you know how to change it.
What it costs
$50
plus your own domain — about $15 a year, paid to the registrar, not to me.
Why it is not thousands
A website costs almost nothing to keep online. Hosting is free, the certificate is free, and the domain is about $15 a year at cost. What costs thousands is someone’s time — and this happens in a school period I am sitting in anyway. That is the whole reason I can do it for $50 without it being a favour.
What actually happens
3 sessions, in my independent period
- 01
Work out what it says
You bring your photos and what your business is. We decide what the page needs to say and in what order — this is the part most people skip, and it is why most sites read badly.
- 02
Build it
We design and build the actual page, together, with you driving as much of it as you want. You will see why things are laid out the way they are rather than just being handed a result.
- 03
Put it live
We buy your domain in your account, point it at the site, and put it on the internet. Then I show you how to change the words yourself, because you will want to.
What you get
- A one-page site, built with you, not handed to you
- Your own domain, set up in your account at cost
- Works properly on phones
- Live on the internet before you leave
- You know how to change it yourself afterwards
What to bring to the first session
- What your business is, in a sentence or two
- Any photos you want on it
- Your prices, if you have them
- How people should contact you
We build one page across 3 sessions — see above. Bring this and we can start on the first one instead of spending it waiting for photos.
What are you making?
What does it need to do?
Pick as many as apply.
Do you have a domain?
Send it to me
Anything you skipped, we work out together
Not a student?
If you want the site built for you rather than with you, that is the other thing I do — build an estimate or email mavrick.blackburn@gmail.com.
