I design and build websites for service businesses and Shopify stores for brands that sell online, anywhere in the U.S. I write the words for each one, or edit yours. In South Florida, our team can also shoot the photos and video on location.
A salon’s customers want a phone number and an open time slot. A candle shop’s customers want to see the jar up close and know when it ships. I design each site for what its customers need before they call or buy.
For contractors, clinics, salons, restaurants, professional offices, and anyone whose customers call or book first.
For brands that sell products online, anywhere in the U.S.
Rhovive, the store for my own brand, is one I designed and built on Shopify. See the Rhovive project
Before I design anything, I learn what your customers need to see on the way to calling you or checking out.
On our first call and in a 45-minute interview, I learn what people ask you before they hire you or buy from you.
I plan the pages a customer moves through, and what each one has to answer before they take the next step.
Every screen is laid out for a phone first, with the button that matters where a thumb can reach it.
You see the site as it comes together, and you get one last look before it goes live.
I pick the colors and fonts for your business and the people who buy from it. Small moments of motion go only where they help someone find their way.
In South Florida, our team comes to you and photographs your place, your staff, your work, or your products. Then I edit each photo to match the site and size it so the page still loads fast.
I interview you for 45 minutes, then write your pages in the words your customers use. If you already have copy, I edit it. For a store, I also write your product descriptions, and your plan says how many.
Some pages work better with a short video, like a walk through your space or a product in use. If you’re in South Florida and a page needs one, our team films it on location and I edit it for the site. Anywhere else, I edit footage you already have. When a page doesn’t need video, I’ll tell you.
If you already have good photos or footage, I edit them for the site: color, cropping, cleanup, and file size. You send the files, and they come back ready for the page. This part works anywhere in the U.S.
I keep every page light, so it loads fast on a phone. This site scored 100 for performance on Google’s mobile speed test.
Why speed matters: 53% of visits are likely to be abandoned if a phone page takes longer than 3 seconds to load. (Google, 2016)
A service business website gets accessible design (WCAG 2.1 AA), so it works for people using screen readers and other assistive tools. For a store, the parts I design are made to work with screen readers and keyboards.
If your customers speak Spanish, your main pages can come in Spanish too, with a language switch on every page. Written to read naturally, and checked line by line before launch.
Your domain and every account are in your name. If we stop working together, you keep everything.
Your plan lists all of it, with a fixed price, before any work starts.
Your part
About 2 hours in total. A kickoff call, a short questionnaire, and a look before launch. For a store, add your product details. If we’re shooting, add the shoot itself, at your place.
The parts nobody sees until something goes wrong
I set all of this up before launch, and your plan lists each one. A store runs on Shopify, which handles part of it itself.
On a service business website, analytics, ad pixels, and tools like a booking calendar stay off until a visitor accepts the cookie notice. If they decline, the site still works, and their calls and messages still reach you. Your analytics just won’t count that visit.
Every service business website I build sits behind Cloudflare, the network this site runs on. Its firewall turns away floods of junk traffic and common break-in attempts. Each form has a hidden field that spam bots fill in and people never see, so those messages get thrown out.
A store runs on Shopify’s own servers. Shopify is certified at Level 1, the strictest level, of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Card numbers go into Shopify’s checkout, or your payment provider’s, and never pass through anything I built.
On a store, I turn on Shopify’s cookie notice and connect each ad pixel to it. Meta’s and TikTok’s pixels wait for Accept. Google’s is told the visitor’s choice and stops using cookies. Any other app that tracks shoppers waits for Accept too, or I leave it out.
Your domain, hosting, Google, and analytics accounts get two-step sign-in, so a stolen password alone can’t open them. For a store, so does your Shopify account. I get access as a helper, with my own sign-in, so you never share your password.
Nobody can promise a site will never be attacked, and I won’t. Fixes are included for 30 days after launch. With monthly maintenance, I fix what stops working and keep a backup copy of your site, so anything can be put back.
You can test the cookie notice on this site. Tap “Cookie choices” at the bottom of any page and choose Decline. The booking calendar on the Contact page then stays off until you accept. See the Contact page
Good to know: I’m not an attorney. Which privacy laws apply to your business is a question for your lawyer. I’ll tell you what to ask, and I’ll set up the site to match what you decide.
This site and rhovive.com are both live, so you can open them on your own phone and judge the design, the words, and the speed yourself.
We talk about your business and what you need the site to do. I’ll have already looked at what you have now.
A fixed price and dates, in writing. The price only changes if you ask for more.
I interview you for 45 minutes and write your pages, or edit the copy you already have. Then I design the site to fit them. If you’re in South Florida and the site needs it, we schedule the photo and video shoot. If not, you send what you have and I edit it.
I test every button and link on a real phone, plus the checkout for a store. On a service business website, I also check each page with a keyboard and a screen reader. Then I run Google’s speed test and submit your site or store to Google and Bing.
Fixes are included for 30 days. After that, you can keep me on for monthly maintenance at one fixed price. Or you can run it yourself, since everything is in your name.
With monthly website maintenance, I make your changes and check the site every month, so it keeps working the way it did on launch day.
Your part: A text or an email. Tell me what changed, and I update the site.
Included
It depends on what you need, like the size of the site or store, who writes the copy, and any photo or video shoot. After a free 20-minute call, you get a fixed price in writing before any work starts, and it only changes if you ask for more.
Most websites and Shopify stores launch in 4–6 weeks. The biggest factor is how quickly we get your content and feedback. Your plan will have dates on it.
Not always. If you have good photos already, I edit them and use them. If the site needs more, I’ll say so in the plan, with the price.
Only for a photo or video shoot. I build websites and Shopify stores for businesses anywhere in the U.S., working remotely. Outside South Florida, I edit the photos and footage you already have.
Not always. I’ll look at it before we talk. Sometimes a few fixes are enough, and if that’s the case I’ll say so. For a Shopify store, I can fix or redesign the one you have.
Yes. Spanish versions of your main pages can be built alongside the English ones, written to read naturally and checked line by line before launch.
Every website and store I build includes the on-page basics: titles, descriptions, headings, and structured data, plus submission to Google and Bing. If you want ongoing work to move up in search, that’s a service of its own.
Nobody can promise that. There’s also no official ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) certificate for websites, so be careful with anyone who sells one. I build service business websites to WCAG 2.1 AA (the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, level AA). The Justice Department adopted that standard for state and local government sites and has used it in settlements with businesses. Before a website launches, I check each page with a keyboard and a screen reader. For a store, the parts I design are made to work with screen readers and keyboards. I don’t add accessibility widgets. In 2025, the Federal Trade Commission ordered one widget maker to pay $1 million over claims that its tool could make any website compliant.
It can. Visitors who decline aren’t counted by your ad pixels, so your ads learn from fewer visits. Their calls and messages still reach you, and the notice is a small box at the bottom of the screen, like the one on this site. For a clinic or med spa, I can keep your ad pixels off the booking and treatment pages. A booking tool can run trackers of its own, like the calendar on this site, so we’ll check yours before launch. Whether you need any of this is a question for your lawyer.
Fixes are included for the first 30 days. After that, you can keep me on for monthly maintenance at one fixed price, and I make your small edits and fix anything that stops working. Or you can run it yourself, since everything is in your name.
Book a free 20-minute call. I’ll look at what you have before we talk, and you’ll leave with a few specific fixes either way. If I’m not the right fit for what you need, I’ll tell you.
