Every business deserves a strong online presence, regardless of budget.

Is Your
Online Presence Missing an Effective Business Website?

  • Is your website content stale and not really saying what it needs to say to attract paying customers?
  • Are you assuming you lack the skills, time, or money to DIY your website?
  • Do you even have a website yet? Or are you relying solely on your IG page and DMs to work with customers? Tired of all that back-n-forth to share your services, prices, availability in the DMs?
Social media platforms come and go, but your website is yours forever and should complement your social media presence! Treat your website like an investment in an employee. It should work for you! Daily. It should help remove common tedious business tasks off of your to-do list.
You can create a very effective 1-page website in a weekend. I can show you how.

Meet Your Web Pro

Hi, I’m Shonna! I’ve been in the business of making websites and web-based software for businesses for over 25 years. I understand your challenges and know you sometimes need to get started without a Web Pro.
  • Simplify DIY Website Creation
  • Save time and money with proven formulas and templates
  • Skip steps and mistakes with safe shortcuts
As a fellow small business owner, I know that many small business owners struggle with the cost, time commitment, and complexity of building an effective website. It can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to juggle running your business and maintaining an online presence that makes your business look good to new customers and assist you in supporting existing customers.
I created this website to share all of my time-saving DIY advice for busy business owners. This is a resource for those who aren’t quite ready to hire a Web Pro (or who get a lil sticker shock when a Web Pro quotes what it costs to get them involved to create your website).
Sometimes, you just need to be shown how to be your own Weekend Web Pro until you’re ready to get somebody else to do it.
Still feel free to reach out when you’re ready for a full-fledge partner. I do offer a fixed-cost 30-Day DIY-ish Website package and payment plans too for those that want to skip the DIY stage altogether but are working with a modest budget.

Before purchasing web hosting and a domain name, you may need to figure out if the domain name(s) you like are available for your project. You should begin your research in the right place and thats usually best done on websites that DON’T also sell domain names. Download the Website Starter Guide to learn more about how to safely research a domain name.
