Jacob Martinez

Freelance web developer

Professional websites for local businesses, creators, and independent brands.

I build modern, mobile friendly websites that help businesses and creatives look professional, get discovered, and turn visitors into customers or fans.

Custom design • Mobile friendly • Built for businesses and creatives

About me

You work directly with me, not an agency.

I'm an independent web developer. I build websites for local and small businesses like barbers, salons, auto shops, restaurants, food trucks, contractors, cleaners, and mobile services, plus music artists, producers, DJs, independent creatives, and personal brands.

Every conversation is with me. No account managers, no ticket queues. I keep websites simple, modern, and genuinely useful for the people who run the business.

Small businesses and creatives don't always need an expensive agency. My goal is to give you a professional online presence without unnecessary complexity or cost.

The process

How it works

  1. 1

    Send an Inquiry

    Start by submitting the free inquiry form. Tell me about your business, what kind of website you need, and what you're looking for.

    There is no payment required to submit an inquiry.

  2. 2

    We Talk

    I'll review your inquiry and contact you by email so we can discuss your project, answer questions, and determine the right package or service.

  3. 3

    Optional Custom Demo

    Want to see a custom visual concept first? You can request an optional $40 Custom Demo, a small preview of what your website could look like.

    If you move forward with the full project, the full $40 is credited toward your final balance.

  4. 4

    Approve the Project

    Once we've agreed on the website, package, price, and project details, I'll email you an invoice for the $25 project deposit.

    The $25 deposit is credited toward your final balance.

  5. 5

    Pay the Deposit and I Start Building

    Once the $25 deposit has been paid, I begin working on your website.

    The deposit is only paid after we've discussed and agreed on the project, never when you submit an inquiry.

  6. 6

    Review the Website

    I build the website based on what we discussed. Once it's ready, we review it together and make any agreed changes.

  7. 7

    Final Payment and Launch

    Once the website is complete and approved, I'll send the final invoice for the remaining balance, with any eligible credits applied. If you paid both the $40 Custom Demo and the $25 deposit, both are credited.

    After the final balance is paid, I deliver your completed website and finalize the launch.

$25 Project Deposit

Required to begin the website project and credited toward the final balance.

$40 Custom Demo

Optional. Credited toward the final website balance if you decide to move forward with the project.

Payments are handled securely through Stripe. You will receive your invoice by email after we have discussed and agreed on your project. You will never be charged simply for submitting an inquiry.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I own the website?+

Yes. Once paid in full, the website is entirely yours.

How long does it take?+

Typical completion times are 1 to 2 days for Basic, 2 to 4 days for Starter, 3 to 7 days for Standard, and 1 to 2 weeks for Premium. Actual timing can vary depending on the complexity of the project, how quickly content is provided, and how quickly feedback is given.

What if I want changes later?+

Changes are available through a monthly care plan or can be billed separately.

What is hosting?+

Hosting is the service that stores your website's files and makes your website available for people to visit online. Think of hosting as the space where your website lives on the internet.

What is a domain?+

A domain is your website's address, such as yourbusiness.com. Your domain is what customers type into their browser to find your website.

Do you handle hosting and domains?+

Yes. I can help set up and manage your hosting and domain. Hosting and domain management can also be handled through a monthly care plan.

Do I have to pay monthly?+

No. Monthly care plans are optional. You can purchase a website as a one time project. The monthly plans are available if you want ongoing maintenance, hosting management, updates, and support.

Can you build a website for a music artist or producer?+

Yes. I build websites for artists, producers, DJs, and other independent creatives. A creative website can include music, releases, social links, portfolios, booking forms, products, and other features depending on what you need.

Is my payment information secure?+

Yes. Payments are processed securely through Stripe. I never see or store your card details.

How much does the custom demo cost?+

A custom homepage demo is a one time $40 payment. If you move forward with a website project, the full $40 is credited toward your final project price.

Is there a deposit to start a project?+

Yes. A one time $25 project deposit is required to begin once we've agreed on your package or price. It is credited toward your final balance, so a $500 Starter site leaves $475 remaining. Sending an inquiry is always free.

Is the deposit the same as the custom demo fee?+

No. The one time $40 custom demo is an optional design concept before you commit. The one time $25 deposit starts an actual website project. Both are credited toward your final price.

Can you build something that is not included in the packages?+

Yes. The packages cover common website needs, but custom features and functionality can be discussed separately. Tell me what you want your website to do and I can provide a custom project estimate.

What happens after I contact you?+

I'll review your project details and get back to you about your needs, the best package or approach, an estimated price, and the next steps.

Ready to get started?

Ready to move forward? Once we've discussed your project and you're ready to begin, I'll send your invoice and secure payment link directly to your email.
