Business website
A professional, mobile-friendly website introducing your business and its services.
Startup Technology Partner
Starting a business comes with enough to figure out. I help founders get their website, business email, forms, and other essential technology working together so they can focus on building their business. Depending on your needs and the scope, I may also be able to build web applications that help you run your business.
For projects that are a good fit, I can offer this with no or low upfront service fees in exchange for an agreed ownership stake or a share of future revenue or profit.
Prefer to pay upfront? I also offer fixed-fee projects, with simple one-page websites starting at $250.
Scope, compensation, and any third-party expenses are agreed before work starts.
The foundations
Each project has an agreed scope. These are services to discuss, rather than a package that automatically includes everything.
A professional, mobile-friendly website introducing your business and its services.
Depending on scope, I may be able to build a web application for tasks such as managing requests, tracking work, or organizing information. We’ll discuss what it needs to do and whether I’m a good fit to build it.
A straightforward way for prospective customers to get in touch.
Connect website signups to an appropriate email marketing platform.
Set up Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, including domain connections, mailboxes, and agreed collaboration tools.
Help select and configure your website address, hosting, and related settings.
Connect agreed tools for scheduling, lead collection, notifications, and simple workflows.
Explain what was set up and how to manage it.
A practical starting point
This offering does not necessarily include engineering your startup’s software product. Depending on your needs and the scope, I may be able to build a web application that does useful work for your business, beyond a site that introduces it. Any software-product work would need to be discussed and explicitly included in the agreed scope.
Agreed individually
For suitable projects, a smaller upfront bill can mean an agreed ownership stake or a share of future revenue or profit. You can also choose an upfront fixed fee. We’ll agree on the scope and payment terms before work starts.
A negotiated equity stake, potentially ranging from 1–10%, depending on scope, complexity, business stage, and circumstances. This range is a discussion point, not a fixed package.
An agreed share of future revenue or clearly defined profit, without company ownership.
Prefer to pay for the agreed work directly? We can set a fixed project fee upfront, without equity or revenue sharing. See the one-page website starting price.
Other options can include capped participation, a deferred fixed fee, or a smaller upfront payment combined with future compensation.
Where appropriate, the agreement can include a predefined buyout option so you have a clear way to end the specified future compensation arrangement.
Only need something small?
If you just need a straightforward website to introduce your business and help people get in touch, a small, clearly defined project with an upfront fixed fee may be all you need.
Here’s what’s included:
Domain registration, hosting, and paid third-party services are separate. Additional pages, custom functionality, integrations, and automation are quoted individually.
Equity and revenue-sharing arrangements remain available for suitable projects.
Service fees & outside expenses
My service fees are separate from third-party expenses. I use free and low-cost tools where they make sense. Website hosting can remain completely free as regular traffic grows, provided the site stays within the selected providers’ free plans. Features and usage—not just visitor numbers—determine when paid services may be needed.
Likely expenses to plan for include:
A free provider-issued website address may be an option if you don’t need a custom domain. Business email subscriptions are separate from free website hosting.
We’ll discuss expected third-party costs before setup. No paid services will be added without your approval.
From conversation to handoff
Identify what you need and whether the arrangement is a good fit.
Put the deliverables, expenses, responsibilities, and proposed compensation in writing before work starts.
I set up the agreed technology and we review it together.
Complete the required compensation paperwork and launch under the agreed terms.
I provide documentation and agreed access. Ongoing support or additional work requires a separate agreement.
I manage the setup process and may retain administrative control of setup environments until the required agreements are complete. Account ownership, access, and handoff conditions are documented in advance.
Administrative access and legal ownership are separate. Handoff does not cancel agreed compensation.
Your technology partner
I’m an independent professional and Marine Corps veteran with a background in business technology consulting, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Power Platform, and automation. I have experience building business solutions and helping people adopt and manage technology. I enjoy solving practical problems and connecting tools to business needs.
A few common questions
For suitable success-based projects, I may offer no or low upfront service fees in exchange for an agreed ownership stake or future-payment arrangement. If you prefer, you can choose an upfront fixed-fee project instead. Simple one-page websites start at $250. Third-party expenses are separate in either case.
No. You can choose an upfront fixed fee without equity or revenue sharing. Revenue or profit participation, a deferred fixed fee, and other arrangements can also be discussed without company ownership. We’ll agree on an arrangement that works for both of us.
Possibly, depending on the scope and what you need. I may be able to build web applications that help run your business, such as tools for managing requests, tracking work, or organizing information. This offering does not necessarily include engineering your startup’s software product. Tell me what you have in mind so we can discuss whether I’m a good fit and what could be included in the written scope.
You cover agreed third-party expenses for your business. We’ll discuss expected costs before setup, and I won’t add paid services without your approval. Free options may fit some needs.
I provide documentation and agreed access under the handoff terms documented in advance. Ongoing support or additional work requires a separate agreement. Any agreed future compensation continues under its terms.
Where appropriate, a predefined buyout option can be included for the specified future compensation arrangement. Availability and terms are discussed individually before work starts.
Start a conversation
A short description is enough to begin. Submitting an inquiry requests a conversation; it does not create an agreement or commit either of us.
