Websites, stores and apps for small businesses

I build the website, you own every piece of it.

Twenty years of building software, now for small businesses. Flat prices published up front, most projects start within a week, and your domain and every account stay in your name.

Half up front, half when it is done. If you are not happy at delivery, we are not done.

Andrew Detwiler
Andrew Detwiler, Wichita, Kansas I work with businesses anywhere. You talk to me: no account manager, no sales team, and nobody else touching your project.

20 years

Building software professionally, before this and alongside it.

1 to 3 weeks

From the first call to live on your domain, on most builds.

Every account

In your name, on your card. No hostage situations, ever.

20%

Of what I earn from this work goes to memory disease research.

What it costs

The price is on the website, because you should not have to ask.

Every one of these is a flat number, not a starting point I walk upward once we have started. If your job does not fit one of them I will tell you that instead of squeezing it in.

Not screenshots of things that used to exist. These are live, they are mine, and they are the same kinds of builds on the price list above.

The Turtlevania Games home page, large white type on black with the studio logo

Live

Turtlevania Games

The studio site. Multiple pages, a landing page per game, a newsletter, and analytics behind all of it. Built and maintained by me, and it is the closest thing on this list to what a business website tier looks like.

The Turtlevania shop home page, dark layout with comic key art and two buy buttons

Live

The Turtlevania shop

A real store taking real money: products, a cart, card payments, shipping, and order emails. Digital downloads and printed things, side by side. This is the online store tier, running on my own account rather than a demo.

The GS Poetry landing page, a black and white photo of a performer at a microphone behind yellow type

Launching soon

GS Poetry

A home for poets to write, read and be heard, coming back after nine years away. Accounts, submissions, a community, and the whole thing built to take a crowd on day one. The one project on this list I am not building alone.

The Build With the Memory site, pale serif headline type over a dark constellation of linked notes

Live

Build With the Memory

The method behind how I work, written down and given away. The repository remembers, so the tools I build with do not start from nothing every morning. It is also why I can quote two weeks for a site and mean it.

buildwiththememory.com

Client work is not on this page yet, and that is a rule rather than a gap. I never show a client's site as an example without asking them first, so the examples here are my own until somebody says yes.

How it works

Three steps, and you see the real thing in the first few days.

  1. 1

    Fifteen minutes on the phone

    You tell me what you do and who you are trying to reach. You send photos, whatever text you have, and anything you already know you want said differently.

  2. 2

    A private link, in days

    Not a picture of a site. The actual site, on your phone, at a link only you have. You tell me what is wrong with it and I change it.

  3. 3

    Live on your domain

    I check every page on a phone and on a desktop one more time, then I show you how to edit your own text and photos afterward.

What clients say

Nothing here yet.

I have not published a client testimonial yet and I am not going to invent one. The four sites above are live and you can go and look at them right now, which is a harder thing to fake than a quote with a first name under it. When somebody is happy and says I can use it, it goes here.

Straight answers

What I do, and what I will not pretend to do.

Included on every build, at no extra cost

  • A phone layout built as its own real layout, checked before launch
  • Real page titles and descriptions, a social preview image, a sitemap
  • Your hours, address and phone in the format search engines read
  • A contact form that emails you, with spam filtering
  • Visitor analytics, so you can see who came and from where

Not included, and I will say so early

  • Ongoing SEO: keyword research, ranking reports, link building
  • A promised position in search results. Anybody promising that is guessing
  • Logo and brand design from nothing. I work with what you have
  • Photography. I will use yours, and say honestly if it is the weak link
  • Paid ads, social posting, email marketing campaigns

I will also tell you if I do not think a rebuild is worth your money. Sometimes the answer is two fixes to the site you already have, and I would rather say that than take $2,400 for something you did not need.

Start a project

Tell me what your business does. I will tell you what it would cost.

No obligation and no sales call. If a website is not the thing that would actually help you, I will say that.

Know somebody who needs one? Refer them and you get 20% of their first project. On a $2,400 site that is $480.

Goes straight to my inbox. I answer every one, usually the same day.

Text me. (316) 290-9673 is the fastest way to reach me, and I answer them myself.

Prefer to talk? Text me a time and I will call you. If you call and I miss it, leave a voicemail and I will call you back. Email works too: hello@andrewdetwiler.com.

I also make games, and I write about how all of this gets built.

A studio, a few released games, an open method other developers use, and a short letter when there is something worth saying. None of it is what you are here to buy, so it lives one click away instead of in the middle of this page.
