I’ve spent over two decades in ministry, and I write software. That combination is the whole point: I’ve sat on your side of the table. I know what a board meeting sounds like, I know how much of your week disappears into admin, and I know what happens when the person who built your website stops answering emails.
I build sites for churches, ministries, non-profits, and local businesses — and I stay around to look after them.
When you hire me, you talk to the person who writes the code.
What A Website From Me Looks Like
Live in two weeks. Fixed scope, fixed price, a date you can put in a calendar. No open-ended project that quietly runs six months.
You can edit it yourself. Hours, staff, service times, the menu, a new event — you change those without phoning me. That’s the whole design goal.
It works on a phone. Most of the people looking for you are standing in a parking lot holding a phone. That’s the version I build first.
It doesn’t rot. Hosting, security updates, backups and your domain are handled. You don’t get a call in three years telling you the site is down and nobody knows who has the password.
What I’ve Built
Father Trucker — A ministry site for long-haul truckers, built for someone reading on a phone in a cab at a truck stop. Fast, easy to read, and the ministry team updates it themselves without needing me. That last part is the part I’m proudest of.
Conversational AI Agents — Voice agents that answer the questions your office keeps answering: service times, room bookings, who to call about a funeral. They run as an embedded widget or through a WordPress plugin I wrote, so your staff can manage them without phoning me. There’s a live demo you can talk to.
Three-Year Bible Reading Plan — Built for my own congregation and still running every week. Each week pairs a New Testament reading with an Old Testament chapter on the same theme, so people who can’t sustain a heavy plan still get the through-line instead of stalling out partway through Leviticus.
There’s more — sports software, habit tracking, a digital detox program — over on projects.
How We Can Work Together
Fixed scope, fixed price, no surprise invoices.
Website — $2,400 $500
Live in two weeks. Introductory rate — the first three builds only, then it goes back to $2,400.
- Up to six pages, built around what you actually do
- Written for phones first
- You edit the content yourself — no ticket, no waiting on me
- Set up so Google can find you properly
- Contact forms that reach a real inbox
- First month of the Care Plan included
Good for a church, a non-profit, or a business that has no site — or one built years ago that nobody can update anymore.
Care Plan — $75/month
So it keeps working.
- Hosting, domain and SSL handled
- Security updates and backups
- Uptime monitoring — I find out before you do
- Two content changes a month, whatever you need
- Anything larger, billed hourly at a rate I tell you first
Cancel any time. I’d rather you stay because it’s worth it.
Churches and registered non-profits: reduced rates apply, and the first conversation is always free. Ask me rather than assuming you can’t afford it.
Need something that isn’t a website? A 90-minute working session is $250, custom builds run $3,000 to $9,000, and ongoing development is $1,500 a month. All of it is spelled out on the services page.
Why Work With Me?
I’ll Tell You Not To Build It
Plenty of problems get solved by a spreadsheet, a free tool, or changing a process. I’d rather lose the project than take your money for something you didn’t need — and I’ve turned down work on exactly those grounds.
You Won’t Be Stranded
The most common thing I hear is that the last person disappeared. Your site is built so your own people can run it, your domain stays in your name, and if you ever want to leave, you leave with everything.
I Already Speak Your Language
Two decades leading congregations. I know why volunteer turnover breaks your process and which “simple” request is going to cost you three months. If you’re a business rather than a church, the same thing applies for a different reason — I run one, so I know what it’s like to do this in the hours after everyone else has gone home.
The Unusual Stuff Is Where I’m Strongest
When a project has a physical part, a human part, and a technical part, I don’t hand two thirds of it away.
Ready to Start?
Tell me what’s going on — a few sentences about the problem is plenty, you don’t need a spec. I read every message myself and I’ll tell you straight if I’m not the right person for it.
