So, you need a website?
Good Websites
That Work
I'm Nick, and I'm based in Portland, ME. I've worked independently as a solopreneur for the past decade. In that time, I've designed and developed 82 (and counting) websites. What do they all have in common? They're good websites that work. Whether you're an agency, small business, startup, or something else, I'd love to build yours.
Websites for Irresistible Ice Cream Sammies
Afterglow Ice Cream
"Nick was the perfect person to turn my amorphous vision into a beautiful and functional website. From the outset, Nick was incredibly receptive and knowledgeable, allowing for my personality to shine through while using his expertise to steer us in the right direction. I loved working with Nick. He was kind, prompt, and just so easy to talk to. Websites are personal! I am so grateful Nick really saw me and my business and created something that reflects the whimsy and playfulness I was hoping for."
Websites for Cunning Copywriters
Elena LeFevre
"When you build your website with Nick, you’re not just getting a website that looks great, feels like you, and does what you need it to do—you’re also getting the strategic value of your conversations with him. He knows how to listen to all your ideas and concerns and make sure you’re building something that will serve your business for the long term. And he’s super friendly, easy to work with, and always has a helpful response to any and all my questions."
Websites for Fairy-Tale Farms
Hart Farm
"Nick knows how to make a business standout on the internet. The website he's designed and maintained for our farm has successfully drawn people in since it was built and become an excellent sales platform. Nick is knowledgeable, flexible, and trustworthy. We couldn't imagine a better person to work with."
Websites for Perfect Pizza Dough
The Good Crust
"Nick made sure our website was a true reflection of our (premium) brand. He took the time to understand our unique needs, ensuring the site was not only aesthetically pleasing but also personalized to our business. While our team has zero technical skills, Nick's guidance made it easy for us to manage and update our site. Plus, our website traffic has increased a ton since the launch, thanks to his SEO-friendly approach and design. Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure."
Websites for Accomplished Agencies
Tortoise Labs
This the website I built for one of my own businesses, Tortoise Labs. This site has been a key part of driving our revenue growth—up by at least 50% for three straight years! At Tortoise Labs, we help first-time founders transform their ideas into successful ventures with real, paying customers. We're proud to collaborate with local institutions like the CEI Women's Business Center, Greater Portland Immigrant Welcome Center, and Kennebec Valley Community College, working together to create top-notch curriculums and programs that really make a difference.
How does your process work?
We'll have a (free) call to figure out if we're a good fit for each other. You'll complete a question workbook, and then I'll interview you to ask follow-ups. I'll write the first draft of the website copy, you'll review it, and I'll revise it (until you're happy). I'll then design and develop the website, you'll review it, and I'll revise it (also until you're happy). Once we're done, I'll hand everything over to you to own.
What is the typical timeline for a website?
A typical project take 6-8 weeks from our first call to completion.
Will I be able to make updates myself?
I primarily use Squarespace, a drag-and-drop editor, to design and develop websites so you can make updates yourself.
Do I get support after the website is live?
Most of my customers make ongoing updates themselves. But, I do offer ongoing support and maintenance as a service.
How much will my website cost?
Websites start at $7,500. We'll figure out exactly what you need for your website, and skip any of the things you don't.
How can I get 50% off my project cost?
I'm an approved vendor of the Maine Technology Institute (MTI)—the largest small business and startup grantor in Maine. MTI is committed to paying 50% of approved projects, and this link will lead you to more information about the program.
I have a question you didn't answer here.
Just send an email to nick@goodwebsitesthatwork.com, and I'll reply in 2 working days.
Okay, I'm interested. Now what?
