Custom websites for small businesses
Don't lose potential clients due to a slow or confusing website. Your business deserves a unique website that will showcase your work and services quickly and effectively to potential clients.
We design for your brand, not templates
Your website should reflect your business's brand, not a cookie-cutter template or just a placeholder for an online presence. We design and code your website by hand to ensure optimal performance and make Google happy, helping to bring in more users and convert them into paying customers. Our goal is to foster long-term relationships with our clients and watch them grow over time.
- Custom design
- We don’t use templates; instead, we design everything in-house. This allows us to create anything we want and design a website that you’ll love.
- Designed for multiple devices
- We design your website to be compatible and responsive with desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. That way, your customers can access your website anywhere without compromising quality.
- Lighting fast load times
- Users are impatient, and if your website takes more than three seconds to load, you could lose up to 50% of your website's traffic. Our sites are optimized to load fast, within a second.
- Clean and accessible design
- Our sites are designed to be clean and easy for your customers to learn about your business and find the information they need. We also ensure that our websites comply with the WCAG 2.2 AA standards, making them accessible to a broader range of users.
- We provide lots of extras
- We include basic extras for free, including: share cards for social media, on-page seo, Google Structured Data, and contact forms with spam filtering.
- Our guarantee
- We guarantee that you’ll love your new website. If not, we’ll create another design free of charge.

How our process works
We take care of everything and help guide you through the process. Our process typically takes 4-6 weeks, as we design and code the website; the final delivery time ultimately depends on how quickly you respond.
Fill out questionnaire
We will send you a brief questionnaire to get an understanding of your business and what you are looking for. We will use your answers to establish the contract specifications.
Design approval
We will send you links to the design for review before a scheduled call to discuss the design and address any revisions you may request.
Development
We will begin coding your website and send you a password-protected link to review and approve the final product. Once approved, we will launch your website on your domain.
Recent client testimonials
We take pride in every site we create and the trust we have built with our clients.
“Working with James Fawks on my website was a fantastic experience. From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and technical expertise. He took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life with a sleek, modern design that perfectly represents my brand. The site is not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and responsive. James was always available to answer my questions and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a top-notch website developer!”
“James was professional, remained in communication, was able to meet with clients, and demonstrated flexibility in his solutions. My project benefited greatly from his participation, and I feel lucky that I found such a knowledgeable resource! Would hire again.”
“We hired James to create a webpage for our newly founded business. James was incredibly professional and easy to work with, and really helped us with any questions we had. We are very happy with the final product and would recommend James to anyone that needs similar work done. James is very knowledgeable in the field and made the process easy, quick, and affordable.”
“I had been looking for a developer to work with for a couple year before I found James Fawks. It is very refreshing for me to work with someone that does what they say they will while also bringing additional value with insights into the industry of software development and also business development in general. He has taken the time to get to know both my business and my needs as a business owner, and addressed them to beyond expectations. Highly recommended.”
“Great experience working with James. Excellent communication skills and understanding of his domain. He quickly diagnosed and resolved an issue that two previous Upwork contractors were unable to resolve.”

Frequently asked questions
What do you mean by "static pages"?
Static pages are just plain HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. There is no Content Management System (CMS) or database to deliver dynamic content. Changes and updates require editing the code directly.
When will my site go live?
It depends on your project, specific needs, and how quickly you can provide the material or information we need. However, the average small business website can take 2-6 weeks from start to finish.
Do I own my website?
No. Fawks Software Consulting LLC will retain all copyrights, excluding any material you provide, to the website and will host the website on our servers.
This is how we keep costs down. However, you may purchase the copyright from us at an additional cost.
Can you make an e-commerce or membership site?
Contact us to discuss this project. An e-commerce or membership site is outside the scope of a basic trade website, and we will need to understand the full scope of work and what you're trying to build.
Can my website integrate with any other services?
It depends on the service. Feel free to contact us with the service you're interested in, and we will do some research to see if it is possible.
Services we have experience integrating with:
Is my site backed up?
Your website code is hosted on GitHub, which will keep track of all the changes and provide a backup of all the code.
Since there is no database, the only thing backed up is the code.
Do the unused consulting hours roll over?
No. The 2 hours are guaranteed hours for the month for us to help answer any IT and software questions you may have.
What is covered in the consulting?
The consulting hours are there for us to help solve quick IT problems that can be solved in the 2-hour window. This may include, but is not limited to:
- asking questions about software or anything IT related,
- help research an app or software for a given use case,
- help come up with a solution to solve a quick problem,
- and more.
How much input do I have?
A lot. We are designing for your brand, and we want you to love it! We greatly value your input, feedback, and approval at every stage of the process.
How do I pay?
All invoices can be paid online with a debit card, credit card, or ACH transfer.
For a lump-sum project, I require a non-refundable down payment before starting the project. The remaining amount is due upon the final review of the website before launch and domain pointing.
You'll be billed monthly or yearly for a subscription plan and the hosting add-on. You can cancel at any time with advanced notice before your next billing period.
What is included in unlimited updates?
The unlimited updates include changes to existing text or media, i.e., the content of the website. For example, content updates could include, but are not limited to:
- Editing or revising text (copy)
- Adding or removing media
- Adding, removing, or editing services
- Modifying pricing or business hours
- Updating contact information or address details
Content updates don't include, but are not limited to, design work, copywriting, SEO, publishing new blog posts, integrations, or adding features, which would require a separate discussion and billing.
What is included in your Guarantee?
We take the time to learn about your business, and if you have any ideas or concepts you would like to see. We will design a website based on your brand. If we miss the mark and you don't love the design, we will do another design for free based on your input.
What is included in the 90-day Warranty?
Before we publish your website, we will run some tests to ensure the website looks great and works on the latest devices and browsers. However, if we missed something, then we will fix it for free during that time. The warranty only covers fixing bugs and issues.
If you need any content updates, that will require a different discussion and billing if you selected the Lump Sum plan; bug fixes and content updates are included in the Monthly plan.
