Handmade Websites for Makers

Your work deserves a home of its own on the internet.

Not a rented corner of a marketplace. A real website, with your name on the door, your photos on the walls, and a sign on the road so Google can send people to it. Built by a maker who built her own, fixed her own, and now builds them for people like you.

First, a true story about an invisible website

This website was live, updated, and loved, and Google could not find a single page of it. Two quiet pieces were missing, and nobody warns you about either of them.

Before

Searching the site name: nothing
No sitemap, so Google had no map of the pages
Never submitted to Google Search Console
All that work, visible only to people who already had the link

➜

After one focused fix

Sitemap live, all 12 pages on it
Robots file in place, pointing Google to the map
Site submitted and verified in Search Console
Indexing requested, and a watch set for its first appearance in search

Recent work

Real projects, described honestly. The Pattern Attic is live and growing every day, and it is the best way to see exactly what your site could feel like.

Live site

The Pattern Attic

A full home for a crochet pattern business: an interactive chart studio, a free pattern tracker, pattern pages, a journal, and a contact page that works. Designed, built, written, and maintained by me.

Working demo

ClearOps

An all in one system for a small business: a ticket board, security checklists, an incident log, a team task board, and subscription plans. Built to show what a tools style site can do.

Demo available on request, just ask in the form below.

Sample build

Portfolio website

A clean, one purpose professional site: who I am, what I can do, and how to reach me, with a resume download and not one thing on it that does not earn its place.

The same tidy thinking goes into every client build.

From the journal

Why a little website with personality wins

October 30, 2026 · Notes from the studio

Selling on a marketplace is like renting one shelf in a giant store where every shelf looks the same, the store picks who walks past your shelf, and your name is written in the same small print as everyone else's, but a website of your own is your little shop with your name over the door: your colors on the walls, your story told in your own words, your very best work in the window, and a welcome that sounds like you, and that personality is not decoration, it is why people buy, because customers remember the maker whose shop felt warm and real, they trust her enough to order, they can find her on Google at midnight when the marketplace is long forgotten, they come back because they feel like they know her, and they send their friends to the shop with the name they can actually remember, so while a marketplace can hand you a customer now and then, a website with personality quietly turns strangers into regulars and regulars into the kind of word of mouth money cannot buy.

After launch, the Care Plan keeps it lovely: $39 a month

Send your edits, wake up to them done. Two small text or photo updates a month and a monthly health check on your forms, links, and Google presence. The $69 tier adds more updates and a monthly findability check.

How it works: you do three things

The whole build happens in writing, at your kitchen table pace. No calls to schedule, no meetings to dread, nothing to install.

Pick and book

Choose a package and pay half to book your build. Your spot is held the moment the deposit lands.

Fill in one form

Your words, photos, colors, and domain details, all in one place, one time. Your build clock starts when the form is complete.

See your preview

A preview link arrives. Approve it, or list your changes in one reply and I use a revision round. Then your site goes live, on your domain, in your name.

Open your doors

Google gets told your site exists, your handover sheet arrives, and your work finally has an address you can say out loud and share anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns my website when it is done?

You do, completely. Your domain is registered in your name, your accounts are yours, and your site files are yours. If we ever part ways, everything keeps working exactly as it did, because none of it was ever held on my accounts.

Do we ever need to talk on the phone?

No. The entire process, from the first form to the final handover, happens in writing. Many of my clients choose me for exactly that reason. You will always know what happens next, and it will always be written down.

What do you need from me to start?

Less than you think. The form asks for your business name, what you offer, your words (short is fine, I will shape them), your photos, and colors you love. If you do not own a domain yet, I will walk you through buying one in your name, in writing, step by step.

When does my build actually start?

Your timeline (3 business days for Launch, 7 for Signature) starts the day your form is complete and your deposit is in. That rule keeps every build fast and fair, and it means your launch date is a date you can plan around.

Will my site show up on Google?

Your site will be set up the correct way: sitemap in place, submitted to Google Search Console, indexing requested. Google then does its part over days to a few weeks. Anyone who guarantees a specific ranking is not being straight with you, and straight is how I work.

What if I need changes after launch?

That is what the Care Plan is for, at $39 a month, or you can book a one off update whenever you need one. Either way, you send words, not worries.

Why are there only three launch spots?

Because every site gets my full attention, and I build around my family schedule. Three launch priced builds is what I can do beautifully this month. After that, the same packages continue at regular prices.

Start your project

Tell me about your business and what you are dreaming of. I reply in writing with your flat confirmation and the deposit link to hold your spot. If a launch spot is still open, it is yours.

Launch pricing applies to the first three website clients, in exchange for an honest testimonial at launch. Builds are booked in order, and November spots are held by deposit, first come, first held.
