Your Website Should Help Your Business — Not Hold It Back.
When the business has grown beyond an outdated or unclear website, sending people there can create hesitation instead of confidence.
A strong website makes a good business easier to understand, easier to trust, and easier to contact.
Explain the offer
Visitors should quickly understand what you do, who you help, and why your approach is worth considering.
Create a clear next step
Whether the goal is a call, booking, or inquiry, the path forward should feel obvious and easy.
A Better Website Without Making Your Life More Complicated.
01You do not need to know web design.
02You do not need perfect copy.
03You do not need every decision figured out before starting.
You bring what you know about your business. I bring the structure, judgment, and process to turn it into a clear website.
Meet JoelYou Don’t Have to Show Up With Everything Figured Out.
You do not need to understand web design, arrive with polished copy, or have every photo, page, and detail decided. Bring what you know about your business. I’ll help create the clarity and structure to keep the project manageable.
See the direction before the full website takes shape.
Before I build the rest of your website, we establish and approve the homepage direction first.
That means you can see the look, feel, messaging direction, and overall experience early—before full-site development proceeds.

After launch
What happens after my website launches?
Once your package’s included support ends, choose how you would like the technical side of the website handled.
Optional. Month-to-month.
Forerunner Website Care
Your website is built. I can keep taking care of it.
For clients who would rather have Forerunner continue handling the technical side of their website after launch.
Ongoing care includes
- Managed website hosting, SSL, and basic uptime / technical monitoring
- Main form-function checks, routine technical maintenance, and troubleshooting of website-side technical issues
- Up to 30 minutes of minor website updates per month for small text, image, hours, contact, pricing, or service changes
Included update time does not roll over month to month. Larger changes, new pages, new features, and marketing/SEO work are separately scoped.
No long-term Website Care contract. Your fully paid website remains yours.

Self-Managed Hosting
Keep the hosting account—and its ongoing management—under your control.
Forerunner will provide compatible hosting recommendations and help launch or transition the site to a client-controlled hosting account. You then pay and manage that hosting provider directly.
Hosting that requires unusual migration, architectural changes, or unsupported setup may require separate scope.
Website Care begins after your package’s included 7-, 14-, or 30-day post-launch support period ends.
From first application to a supported launch.
You will know what happens next, when your input is needed, and what gets approved before the project moves forward.

Owner / web designerYou work directly with me.
“A premium studio experience should still feel personal.”
No layers of account managers or unnecessary handoffs. I help translate what you know about your business into a website that customers can understand and trust.
You do not need technical knowledge. You need someone who can ask the right questions, make sound decisions, and explain the process clearly.

Know what you are stepping into.
Forerunner Creative’s current core packages are Online Launch at $699, Business Builder at $799, and Client Growth at $999. Add-ons or custom functionality are quoted separately after the scope is understood.
You do not have to decide alone. Complete the project application and Joel will recommend the package that fits the work—even if it is not the most expensive option.
No. The application comes first. If the project is a fit, your proposal will explain the deposit and payment schedule. The final balance is generally due before launch unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Timing depends on scope, content readiness, feedback speed, and current availability. Your proposal will include a project schedule based on the specific work.
That is okay. Every package includes Website Copy Polish to tighten the wording so visitors understand what you do and what to do next. More hands-on copywriting assistance can be added when needed.
Additional website pages are available at $75 per page. If the extra pages change the nature of the project, Joel will recommend an updated scope before the work is added.
Your business already has substance. Your website should show it.
Share what you need. I’ll review the project, recommend the right scope, and explain what happens next—before any payment is required.
