Beautiful, custom websites designed, built, and managed for you—by Steph!
A different kind of website subscription
Tools like Squarespace, WordPress, and Canva have normalized the idea that you should make and manage your own website. But I don't think you should have to do that—that’s my job!
Via Sites by Steph, we’ll build a trustful relationship so you can rely on me to take care of all your website needs. Then you can keep your focus on whatever the website’s actually about instead!
100% custom, hand-coded websites
Form submissions straight to your inbox
A professional designer on-call for edits
Managed hosting and domain renewal
Ongoing technical maintenance
Sliding scale pricing
To make Sites by Steph more accessible, I offer sliding scale pricing based on your project’s financial returns and our relationship. The Sites by Steph service is billed monthly to keep the price of a custom website sustainable for customers while still ensuring I get paid fairly for my work.
Design style research and development
The creative work I do to come up with the look and feel of your website and its structure. Depending on how art direction-heavy your website needs to be, this could take us anywhere from 10 to 40 hours.
Sites by Steph subscription
The monthly cost to have me take care of all of your website needs—editing content, fixing issues, making technical improvements, etc. I limit this work to 5 hours/month, but we can negotiate as needed.
Additional website functionalities
Any functionality beyond an informational website with a form (e-commerce, events calendar, a blog, etc.) will require extra work. We can talk about your vision to estimate a price.
Each site by Steph is...
Simple and beautiful
I highly value beauty, and put that care into all my designs. Every site I make has a unique look, while staying simple and clean.
Information-forward
People are coming to your website to learn or do something; my designs follow conventional website heuristics to prioritize the communication of that information or process to visitors.
Mobile-optimized
I design every website for both computer and phone screens to ensure every visitor has a good experience regardless of where they view your site.
WCAG-compliant
My code has been reviewed by an accessibility analyst to ensure all my websites comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
Fast-loading
I do my best to optimize my code so your website loads as fast as possible. Sites that take more than three seconds to load can lose up to 50% of traffic! Eep!
SEO-ready
My websites follow best practices to build a solid foundation for getting your pages surfaced high up on search engine results.

“Working with Steph to bring my website to life was nothing short of magical. Steph was patient, attentive, and organized at every step of the process. From understanding my vision and translating it to the DNA of the website, Steph turned one of my dreams of having my own digital home into a reality.”

“Steph's custom website was crucial to our fundraiser's success. The site elevated the marketing and registration for our event, and meant we didn't have to deal with Google Forms. Steph was also very responsive and helpful when we needed changes.”
