Website Design

Get your website in 14 days. Love the design or your money back.

An agency-tested process, the Human Branding Framework, finds what makes your brand unique and puts it on your site.

You've seen these ads. So have your competitors.

Every web designer is selling small business owners the same thing, the same way. Here's what they're really saying.

  • Sponsored

    “Website redesign or a brand new site from $2,799. Ends Nov 17!”

    It's literally just a fake deadline to help create urgency to capture the sale. The countdown resets the next month.

  • Sponsored

    “Your new website, live in 72 hours.”

    AI can generate a website in 1 hour, so why wait the 72 hours? Communicating your brand's message shouldn't be done so quick.

  • Sponsored

    “Mobile first. Built to turn visitors into customers.”

    Every site is mobile-first now. That's like a restaurant bragging it has plates. And nobody becomes a customer because of a layout.

  • Sponsored

    “Custom, profitable websites that scale your business.”

    Custom, from the same prompt as everyone else. Having a well designed website is only one part of scaling your business using digital marketing. It can't do it by itself.

  • Sponsored

    “Trade in your current website and get $300 off your new one.”

    This one is ridiculous. Your website isn't a car and there's no trade-in value. In fact, having an existing website only adds complexity.

  • Sponsored

    “No website? Customers can't find you.”

    True but that's not even the hard part. It's communicating your brand to your audience.

What I believe

When you look like everyone else, you get compared on price.

Conversions, leads and SEO don't come from a slogan. They come naturally when you show up as yourself: real photos of you and your team, the story of why you started, an about page worth reading, and words that actually sound like you.

The only difference you fully control between you and your competitors is how seriously you take your brand. That's the work. It takes 14 days, not 3 hours.

Who am I?

Brandon from brandch

I'm a partner at brandch, where we typically build $15k+ websites for small to medium-sized businesses. That's out of budget if you're looking for something entry level.

So I'm offering well-designed websites that authentically represent your brand and hold up under the pressure of advertising. This is how you begin advertising your business.

brandch created the Human Branding Framework, and it's what produces such strong results for our clients. Your business deserves your fingerprint all over its website, not a bland template or bland AI copywriting. So I'll walk you through the Human Branding Framework Lite, where you'll discover your brand's identity and how your website will bring in new business.

The process that creates unique websites. Every time.

Great sites don't come from a divine creative process bestowed upon someone in a manic episode (mine don't, anyway). They come from a repeatable process that outputs quality.

I follow the Human Branding Framework. We'll get on a short call and uncover seven things about your brand. Then we'll map out the human strategy behind your customer.

The Human Branding Framework

  • Origin story

    Where you came from and why you started.

  • Axis

    The one thing your brand turns around.

  • Beliefs

    What you stand for, and against.

  • Behaviors

    How your brand acts and sounds.

  • Signals

    The cues that tell people it's you.

  • Outsiders

    Who you're not for.

  • Future

    Where the brand is headed.

Then, the human strategy

  1. Who they are

    The customer you're actually building for.

  2. How they find you

    The path that brings them to your website.

  3. What makes them convert

    The proof and message that turns a visit into a call.

  • Live in 14 days

Local Dominator

I'll build a service page for each of your services and a city page for each big city you serve. That gives you a page to rank for basically every search in your local area.

Custom pricing, starting at $10k

Money-back design guarantee on Starter and Business. No long-term contract.

The guarantee

Love the design or your money back

You shouldn't have to pay for a website you don't like. So you don't take the risk on the design, I do. Here's exactly how it works.

  • You pay up front

    You pay your package price in full to get started. That's what reserves your spot and kicks off the work.

  • We do the work

    We go through the Human Branding Framework together, then I design and build your site around it.

  • I show you the first build

    You see the full first version of your website, designed and built, before anything goes live.

  • You decide

    Love it, or want changes? We make the revisions and launch. Don't love it and don't want revisions? Say so and I refund the full price. No hard feelings.

The fine print

The guarantee applies at the first build, and only then. Once you accept the build or ask for revisions, your payment is final.

A refund means you walk away with your money, not the website. You don't get a refund and keep the site. It's one or the other.

On Starter, you have 1 day from seeing the first build to ask for a refund.

Search

Built to be found on Google

A website only works if people can find it. I suggest you advertise, but in the meantime, expect a boost in the rankings with your new site.

Your website is built following all of the . Each site is blazing fast, accessible and SEO friendly.

Don't believe me? Plug in my domain and see for yourself. (You should expect the same for yours 😉)

Advertising

Ads that bring in real leads

Most agencies count a page click as a “conversion.” I only count a phone call or a form from a real person. If nobody reached out, it isn't counted. The numbers come out smaller, and they're real.

Who I want to work with

This is built for owners who are stretched thin and still care how their business shows up. If that's you, we'll get along.

  • You run a small service business and wear most of the hats yourself.
  • You still work in the business, not just on it.
  • You want a website that's unmistakably yours, not a cookie-cutter template.
  • You've built a reputation, and your website should live up to it.

Past this stage?

brandch, the agency I'm a partner at, takes on projects for small to mid-sized businesses too.

Questions, answered

  • Will I get an ROI?

    That's the goal of every site I build. As a former advertiser, I build around what turns visitors into customers. Your return depends on how many people see it, which is why I recommend pairing your site with advertising.

  • Do you use AI?

    Yes, as a tool, the same way I use a code editor. What I never hand to AI is your positioning, strategy or messaging. Those come from our Human Branding Framework call.

  • What makes this different?

    Your site is built on a real understanding of your brand and customer, not a template or a prompt. It ships in 14 days, and if you don't love the design, you get your money back.

  • Can I make updates?

    Yes. Send me what you want changed and I'll handle it, so you never deal with a middleman or a clunky editor.

  • Do I own the website?

    Yes. Your domain, content and site are yours.

  • What about advertising?

    I recommend it. A website is where customers convert, and ads are how you get them there fast while your rankings grow. I came from running ad campaigns, so I build every site with that in mind.

  • Will a website guarantee me customers?

    No website can promise that. What I can promise is a fast site that shows the people who find it exactly who you are.
