Websites
A website is the one piece of your business you fully own on the internet. I've been building websites for over 20 years (since 2002!) The websites I build for my clients are bespoke. I no longer use templates or builders, which makes each chadworks project truly 100% original. Below are the specific web design services I offer.
This is usually what clients come to me for. They want a website. They don't know or care how it gets done, they just know they can't do it themselves. This is the standard 'I need a website' service for small to medium businesses or initiatives.
Some clients already have a website that needs expansion or fixing, or they have a design that needs to be brought to life. This is the 'I have a complicated idea and need help making it real' service.
This service is for clients who want a hands-off approach to their website project. Web design packages are flat-rate bundles with minimal customization in return for lower-budget access.
The host your site lives on decides whether it stays up, loads fast, and stays secure. I keep client sites on privately managed, cutting-edge servers built for uptime, so you get Fortune 500 stability without the Fortune 500 IT department. Hosting stays in your name, never locked inside my account.
This is where the fun and flexibility is. The site you are on right now is a custom-coded, static site. No limits. These sites are super fast, too. We start from scratch and build only what you need, no more, no less. For higher budgets and hands-on clients with a vision that templates and builders like Elementor, Wix or GoDaddy Airo can't provide.
WordPress is best for projects that require multiple contributors, like a volunteer team, or clients that want to regularly publish, edit or change features or the layout of their site on their own. WordPress is still powerful, but I may try to talk you out of it and into a custom-coded site if it sounds like WordPress will be overkill for your needs.
Ecommerce is for clients selling physical or digital products directly from their website. This service is specifically for custom-built, self-hosted and managed ecommerce projects that require total control and no limits.
Shopify is the world's number one DIY ecommerce platform. It's a combination of WordPress and Squarespace, best for lower-budget access.

Visibility
You want your current and potential customers or audience to find you online. Visibility is the art and science of making your website or web properties discoverable online. That means optimizing for both Google search (SEO) and more recently, AI chat bots (GEO/AEO).
AI Visibility (aka AI Viz) is an emerging service focused on getting found and recommended in the age of AI search. This is similar to SEO in that it's not one technique, but rather a toolkit of techniques that are selected and applied based on your specific market situation. This is for businesses where being the one the AI names is worth real money. Check out these pages too: Show Up on ChatGPT and Advertising on ChatGPT.
The AI Visibility Audit is for clients with an existing website who either want to know how their website performs in the AI search arena, or are already pushing visibility initiatives but aren't getting the results they want.
SEO didn't die, it became the foundation. This is the classic discipline: ranking your pages for the phrases your buyers actually type into Google. It still works on its own, and it's also what the AI assistants read before they decide who to name.
This is mostly a catch-all term to cover a broad range of services that help your business get seen online. Essentially, everything chadworks does is digital marketing, so this page exists to capture people looking for digital marketing, then share what I offer within that arena.
E-mail is still the reigning champ of all direct to consumer digital marketing channels. Once a customer gives you their email address, they've given you a direct line to their inbox, the closest thing to the real mailbox any company can get. Email marketing should be a top priority for any serious business or initiative.
chadworks™ AT A GLANCE
I'm your point of contact from deal to delivery. No sales rep, no account manager, no ambiguity.
The site and every working file behind it become your property, in full, upon final payment.
Speed and visibility (SEO/GEO) are built in, not upsell add-ons. Your site loads fast and shows up in Google and in AI search like ChatGPT.*you'll show up when someone searches you by name. showing up for "dog groomer" or "account in new york" takes specialized work and healthy budgets.
I bring 20+ years of web, digital and business experience across hundreds of projects spanning a wide range of industries.
Your website is more important than ever.
Your digital home base must be authentic and distinguishable.
When anyone can generate a passable page in seconds, what sets you apart is a site that is unmistakably, verifiably yours.
Speed is mission-critical. A page that opens and loads lightning fast will simultaneously keep the visitor you worked to attract and please search engines and AI search bots, helping with ranking.
Visibility optimization is required. Optimizing the site to show up on Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT is how people find you online. All my projects include baseline visibility optimization.
Authenticity breaks the market mold. As the web fills with interchangeable, indistinguishable, and machine-made websites, a site that carries your voice and your real work is what will build trust with your audience/customers.
Quality is retained.When a website is pixel-perfect and details are scrutinized like a work of art, visitors feel it. They'll know you will bring the same care to the work or products you offer them.

Are We A Good Fit?
chadworks is for you if:
- You want what you want, and you'd rather pay to have it built right than negotiate it down to almost right.
- You see your project as an integral part of your initiative, not just the brochure for it.
- You're building something you intend to keep for a long time.
Probably not if:
- You're on a strict, low budget. In the Venn diagram of good, fast, and cheap, I'm fast and good.
- You want a template with your logo dropped in. Plenty of builders do that, but I'm not one of them.
- You're building this as a hobby, not a business, product or organization.
What it costs
Transparent rates.
Per minute
$5.25 / min
I have always worked and delivered at a blistering pace, and with the onset of AI tools, charging by the hour is no longer an appropriate metric.
Flat-rate builds
From $3,200
Most sites land between $5,000 and $10,000. For more information about flat rate projects, click here.
Flat rates shown are general estimates for information only, not a formal quote or binding offer. Your actual price is set in a written proposal before any work begins.
Common questions, answered
The things people ask before they reach out. If yours isn't here, the form below reaches me directly.
I build the website. You need to provide relevant assets, but besides that, I handle it autonomously from start to finish.
Yes, you own everything when it's done. Sites are hosted on my private client server, but your complete codebase is always available should you desire to move on from chadworks.
Yes, your website will be findable on Google and AI. The pages are structured and schema-rich so classic search and AI assistants can both read and recommend them. However, that doesn't mean you will show up for people that aren't already looking for you by name. Visit VisibilityComing soon for more information on that.
A website from chadworks starts at $3,200 but typically crosses the $5,000 mark. A web app or more involved build beyond a brochure website will easily break $10,000. Visit my rates page for more info.
