I'm Mike. I build websites and mobile apps for founders and small business owners. Whether you've got it all figured out or you're still piecing it together, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
Currently building
BaitIQ v2 — iOS, App Store
Unlearn Your Credit Habits — launch
Both built solo, both still running. Happy to walk you through either one on a call.
AI fishing intelligence. Point your camera, get bait recommendations tuned for your weather, location, and conditions. Live on the iOS App Store.
Brand identity and conversion-focused landing site for a credit education business. Custom-designed in Astro, with payment and booking integrations. From sketch to staged in twelve weeks.
Most of my projects start with a friendly call. We figure out what you're trying to make, what's realistic for the timeline, and whether I'm the right person for it. If we move forward, here's what working together looks like.
Care in the work. Care in the conversation.
Day 0
We start with a 30-minute call. Tell me about what you're making, what's been tricky about it, and what you'd love to see in three months. No deck, no slides, just a real conversation. If we're not a fit, I'll happily point you to someone who is.
Day 1
Within twenty-four hours of our call, you'll have a written scope, a timeline, and a fixed price. If anything looks off, we'll talk through it before we start. Real numbers, no surprises.
Weeks 1–N
Design and dev happen together. You'll see real working software inside the first week. I'll send Loom updates as often as you like, daily or weekly, and I'm easy to reach for anything in between.
Final + 30
Launch, walk you through how everything works, and stick around for thirty days after to handle anything that comes up. I'll still be here when you have questions next year too.
If yours isn’t here, send it over and I’ll answer the same day.
You do. Once we're squared away, all the source code, designs, and assets are 100% yours. The only thing I keep is the right to mention I worked on it (and only if that's okay with you).
Happy to. Send yours over, or I can share a simple one-page mutual NDA. Either way, what we talk about stays between us.
I quote fixed prices on a fixed scope, so the number we agree on is the number you pay. If you want to add something mid-build, we'll chat about it and I'll give you a clear estimate before any extra work starts. And if I underestimated to begin with, that's on me, the original price still holds.
Either works! I usually design and build together since it tends to be faster and more cohesive. If you've already got a designer or brand guidelines, I'll happily work with what you have.
Usually 50% up front, 50% on launch. For longer projects we can split the back half into milestone payments, whatever works for your cash flow. Stripe handles the invoices: card, ACH, or wire.
Please tell me as soon as you can! I share work weekly so we can catch anything early, while it's still easy to change. If we get to launch and something still isn't right, fixes during the 30-day support window are on me.
That's totally fine, and pretty normal. Bring me whatever you've got, a rough idea, a sketch, a pile of screenshots. We'll figure out the shape of it together on the first call.
— Let’s talk —
Tell me what you’re working on, when you’d like to launch, and the rough budget. Even if it’s still just an idea, I’d love to hear about it. I’ll get back within one business day, and if we’re not the right fit I’ll gladly point you to someone who is.
Booking new projects for the next few weeks. Most engagements run $3k–$20k.
