What working together actually looks like
A marketing site has one job: turn a visitor into an action. Too many look impressive and convert nothing because the design never decided what the visitor should do. I start from that decision, the demo booked, the trial started, the call scheduled, and build the messaging hierarchy, art direction, and layout around moving people toward it.
That means a clear sitemap and wireframes before visuals, copy and structure that argue your case in the order a buyer needs to hear it, and responsive layouts that hold up on the phone where most of your traffic actually lands.
You receive an organized asset library and build-ready files, or I design and build the whole thing in Framer so what you approve is exactly what goes live, fast and findable. This is for startups and growth companies whose site needs to do real sales work, founders replacing a template that no longer reflects them, and teams who want design and build handled by one accountable person. Most marketing sites go from brief to live in two to four weeks, quoted fixed before work starts.

Proof in production
Website Design, in short
A custom marketing website from me is designed and built by one person in 14 days for a fixed $1,500, either custom-coded or in Framer. The design starts from what the site has to prove and the one action you want visitors to take, not from a template. Running costs are your hosting or Framer plan and your domain.
The 14-day plan, day by day
Website in 14 days: $1,500, on a schedule you get before you commit.
Days 1–2
Brief and structure
What the site has to prove, to whom, and in what order. Sitemap and page structure agreed before any visual work.
Days 3–7
Design
Every page designed and reviewed. You see the homepage within about three days, so direction gets settled early.
Days 8–12
Build
Custom-coded, responsive, fast. A staging URL goes up early so you review the real thing rather than a picture of it.
Days 13–14
Launch
Performance and SEO checks, domain connected, analytics on, and live.
What the $1,500 includes
- Custom design — no templates, no theme with your colours
- Every page designed, not just the homepage
- Custom-coded and genuinely fast on a phone
- SEO fundamentals: structure, meta, schema, sitemap
- A CMS if you need to edit it yourself
- Live on your domain with analytics connected
- Source code and design files yours at handover
- 30 days of post-launch support, included
Situations this fixes
The current site is a liability on sales calls
A founder has started apologizing for their own website before sharing the link on a call, because it visibly undersells a business that has otherwise matured past it.
A complete custom-coded, multi-page site — not a theme with a logo swapped in — replaces it in 14 days for a fixed $1,500.
A raise or launch is close and there's nothing credible to point to
A startup has a funding conversation or a public launch on the calendar within weeks, and the current site would actively work against the pitch if anyone actually visited it.
The homepage is visible within about three days, so direction is settled early enough to be genuinely ready before the deadline.
Quoted three months and five figures for a marketing site
An agency proposal for what amounts to a multi-page marketing site came back at three months and a five-figure number, for scope that doesn't require either.
The same scope — custom design, every page, SEO fundamentals — ships in 14 days for a fixed $1,500, agreed before anything starts.
Content and images exist, but nobody has assembled them
A business has brand assets, copy drafts and product photography sitting in a shared drive, but no one has had the time to turn them into an actual site.
With content ready on day one, the fortnight goes entirely into structure, design and build — the sprint is built around content being the bottleneck.
Wants to edit it without filing a developer ticket
A previous site required a developer for every copy change, and the business has been avoiding small updates because the process to make them is disproportionately slow.
A CMS is included when it makes sense, so the team can edit content themselves after handover, with source code owned outright.
Custom-coded, Framer or a template
| Compare | Custom-coded | Framer | A template |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $1,500 fixed, 14 days | $1,500 fixed, 14 days | The template plus your time |
| Who edits it after | Developers, in code | Your team, visually, in Framer | You |
| Running cost | Hosting; static hosts have free plans | Your Framer plan, $10 to $30 a month billed yearly | Your builder's plan |
| Best for | Sites with real logic, or teams with a developer | Marketing sites a non-developer keeps updated | A quick start when budget comes first |
What the first year costs
| Item | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Design and build | $1,500 | Once, fixed, 14 days, either route |
| Hosting, custom-coded | Free to start | Cloudflare Pages has a free plan, which is where this site runs |
| Hosting, Framer | $120 to $360 a year | Framer Basic or Pro, billed yearly |
| Domain | Your registrar's price | Paid to whoever you register it with |
| Changes after launch | $2,500 a month, optional | The monthly partnership, which you can pause |
So the first year can be $1,500 plus a domain on a free static host, or $1,860 plus a domain on Framer Pro. Framer prices checked on 27 October 2026, Cloudflare's on 28 October 2026.
When a website sprint is the wrong move
- Web applications with accounts and dashboards. That is the web app sprint.
- Sites with dozens of pages of copy still to write. Someone has to write it, and that is what stretches the timeline.
- Redesigning an existing site that already has traffic. The redesign sprint maps every old URL so you keep your rankings.
- A single page for an ad campaign. The 5-day landing page sprint is $700.
Questions to ask before you hire a web designer
Five questions that separate a site built to convert from a nice-looking one.
- What is the one action the site is for?
- If the designer does not ask, the site will try to do everything and do none of it well.
- Custom design or a template?
- Both can work; you should know which one you are paying for.
- Who writes the copy?
- Missing copy is the most common reason a website launch slips.
- What happens to my old URLs?
- If the new site replaces one with traffic, every old URL should redirect to its new home.
- Who owns the code or the project?
- You should, at launch, with no lock-in.
What a site built to convert gets right
Design follows the argument the site has to make. These are the parts I design around first.
- One primary action, such as booking a call or starting a trial, that every page leads towards
- An argument in order: the promise, the proof that it is believable, the offer, then the action
- Proof that is real: named clients, actual work and numbers you can stand behind, never invented ones
- Prices or a clear next step, so a visitor knows what happens when they click
- Speed on a phone, because that is where most first visits happen
The launch bar
Day 14 means the agreed pages are designed, built and live, which is checked against this list:
- Live on your domain with HTTPS
- Every form delivers to an inbox someone reads, tested with a real submission
- Titles, descriptions and the sitemap are set, so search engines can read the site
- Analytics connected, if it was scoped on the call
- Source code and design files, or the Framer project, handed over to you
What to have ready
- Copy, logo, brand assets and images on day one
- The one action you want visitors to take
- Three review points in your calendar during the 14 days
- A domain you control
Common questions
Website Design, answered
Every website design project is quoted fixed before work starts — most engagements land between $1,900 and $10,000 depending on scope. Send a brief and you'll have a number within 24 hours.
Typically 2–6 weeks from kickoff to delivery. Focused engagements (a single page, flow, or sprint) can ship in as little as one week.
One senior expert handles both design and delivery — no handoff, no drift. 75+ projects shipped, 4.93★ across 32 Contra reviews, and clients including YC-backed Unlayer.
Yes — most clients are SaaS and AI startups in the US and Europe. Based in Dubai, I overlap comfortably with US, EU, and GCC working hours.
I structure and edit it. Writing every page from scratch is not included, and missing copy is the usual reason a site launch slips, so bring what you have on day one.
Framer if your marketing team will edit it, custom code if the site needs real logic or a developer will maintain it. The price is the same $1,500, so choose on fit.
Yes. Speed on a phone is part of the build, because most visitors will open it there first.
You do: the source code and design files, or the Framer project, handed over at launch.
