A website you run from your phone.

I build custom websites for bands, restaurants and small businesses, with a back office you run from your phone. Everything happens in writing.

Funkharp's home page on a phone: St. Augustine, FL, the band name in script, Hear the singles and Shows buttons, and a photo of a harmonica on piano keysReytek's home page on a phone: a black-and-white portrait inside a glowing cyan ring, wrapped in swirling light trails, with the name REYTEK belowTrattoria Cinque Lune's home page on a phone: a brick restaurant entrance with warm light in the doorway, an Open until 9 pm sign, and Reserve a table and See the menu buttons
The back of the house

Change it in your hand. It changes on the site.

Every site comes with a back office built for a phone. This is a working sample: flip a switch on the left and watch the site on the right.

How a launch runs, in five steps

  1. Brief: You tell me what you run. A few lines in writing. Photos and words come later.
  2. Proposal: A plan with a price and a date. What's included, a fixed price and a launch date, in writing before work starts.
  3. Build: The pieces come together. Your site and the back office you'll run from your phone.
  4. Check: Every piece gets checked. Phone first, accessibility checked, a full launch check.
  5. Launch: Lift-off. Live on your domain, with a guide to your back office.

The past year

One year. Six launches.

Everything here I designed and built myself: my own artist site, a band’s site, a demo restaurant, and three apps of my own.

  1. Reytek's artist site on a phone: a dark home screen with the Reytek name and an Enter button
    My own artist site

    Reytek

    reytek1201.com opens with sound and a turntable you can scratch and pitch. In its back office I upload a song and the site finds the beat, so the turntable moves in time.

    • Turntable
    • Beat finder
    • Timeline
    • Video channel
    Open reytek1201.com (opens in a new tab)
  2. Funkharp's band site on a phone: the band name over a cream and teal home screen
    Band client

    Funkharp

    Shows, a booking inbox that alerts the band's phones, a fan list, music and videos. The band changes all of it themselves.

How I work

  2. 02
    You get a written proposal.A fixed price, what’s included and a launch date.
  3. 03
    Feedback happens in one thread.Comments go in writing, so nothing gets lost.

Sample documents. Names are made up.

Questions

Short answers.

Who builds it?

I do, Reytek, one person in Atlanta. You write to me and I write back, so nothing gets handed between people.

Do we ever need to get on a call?

No. The brief, the proposal and all feedback happen in writing. If you'd rather see something walked through, I can record a short screen video.

Can I really change things from my phone?

Yes. The back office is built for a phone screen first. Try the sample above: it is the same kind of back office you would get.

How much does it cost?

Band sites start at $900 and restaurant sites at $1,500, each with a monthly care plan. The price is fixed in your written proposal before work starts. The full list is on the pricing page.

How long does it take?

Your proposal states a launch date in writing. Most of the time goes to gathering your photos and words.

What do I need to send you?

To start, just the form below. Later I'll ask for your photos, words and links, in writing, a little at a time.

Something else? Ask it in the form below.
