It doesn't say what you do.
A visitor gives you a few seconds. If “Welcome!” is the first thing they see, they're gone.
Fix: a headline that says what you do, where, and why you.
Web designer for small businesses
Your website should be winning you customers.
I design and fix websites so people instantly get what you do, trust you, and reach out. One fixed price, in writing, before any work starts.
The free review: send me your site and I'll record a short video showing what's costing you customers and how I'd fix it. No obligation.
The difference a clear website makes
Illustrative example of a typical local-business homepage. Same business, same day — one version makes you call. See the “after” built as a full sample site →
- Fixed price, agreed in writing before work starts
- You own your website, domain and content
- Built for phones first, where most visitors are
- You talk directly to the person doing the work
The usual suspects
Is your website quietly costing you customers?
Most small-business sites don't fail loudly. People just leave and call someone else. Here's what usually drives them away.
It's hard to contact you.
The phone number hides in the footer, and the form asks for twelve things.
Fix: one obvious next step on every screen.
It breaks on phones.
Tiny text, buttons you can't tap, menus that won't open. That's where most of your visitors are.
Fix: designed for the phone first, then scaled up.
It looks out of date.
Fair or not, people judge the business by the site. Dated design reads as “maybe they've closed.”
Fix: a modern look that matches the quality of your work.

Work
Two sample sites, built like the real thing.
Fictional businesses, real features: tap-to-call, clear prices, booking and quote forms that work the way your customers expect. Try them on your phone.
Sample site · Plumber · 4 pages
Brightwater Plumbing
For a trade people need right now.
Built for the phone in someone's hand while there's water on the floor: one tap to call, prices up front, and booking that takes two minutes.
Built like the Full website package, from $899: 4 pages, call and book buttons, a service-area page, and a booking form that sends requests to your email.
- Call and book buttons that stay on screen on phones
- Services and flat-rate prices on their own page
- Service-area page with a ZIP code checker
- Online booking with photo upload and a confirmation
Sample site · Lawn & garden care
Fieldwork Lawn & Garden
For a service people want to price before they call.
Visitors build their own plan and see a monthly price in 30 seconds, then send it as a quote request with one tap.
Built like a New homepage, from $399. The custom price builder is an add-on, quoted separately.
- Plan-and-price builder with a live estimate
- Clear prices for every service
- Quote request pre-filled with the visitor's plan
- Reviews, service area and weekly rounds
Straight answer: Brightwater and Fieldwork are fictional businesses I created to show what I can build. The photos are licensed stock photos, and the prices and reviews are samples. Want your business to be the first real one here? See the founding-client offer below.

How pricing works: I look at your platform, pages and content, then send a written scope with one fixed price. Included: help with your words, one round of revisions, and launch. Paying: fix-ups are paid after the work is done and you’ve checked it. Homepages are half to start and half before launch. Full websites are split into three equal payments. All by secure online invoice. Hosting, domain and any paid tools are separate, and so are live booking calendars or taking payments on your site. I'll tell you exactly what they cost before you commit.

About
Hi, I'm Alejandro.
Leroux Siteworks is just me: one person who designs your site and builds it too. When you email, you talk to the person doing the work. No account managers, no hand-offs, no mystery invoices.
I care about one thing: whether your website makes it easier for the right people to choose you. Pretty is part of that. It's not the point.
Plain EnglishNo jargon. You'll always know what's happening and why.
Fast repliesWithin one business day (Central Time).
Based in Chelsea, ALWorking remotely, so I can help businesses anywhere in the U.S. and abroad.
How it works
Three steps. No runaround.
From first email to live website, you'll always know what's next and what it costs.

FAQ
Good questions to ask first.
Something else on your mind? Just email me. You'll get a straight answer.
What's in the free site review?
You send me your website. I record a short video walking through it like a first-time visitor would: what's working, what's costing you customers, and what I'd change first. It's yours to keep, whether or not we work together.
Can you work with Squarespace, Wix, WordPress or Shopify?
Usually, yes. I check your platform and access before quoting, and if something is outside what I can do well, I'll tell you straight instead of guessing.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Your domain, your content and your site are yours, in accounts under your name. I'll make sure you have the logins and know where everything lives. If you're on Squarespace, Wix or Shopify, the platform itself stays a subscription you control.
I don't have good photos or copy. Is that a problem?
Not at all. That's common. I'll help you shape the words, and we can start with the photos you have and plan better ones later.
How long does it take?
A fix-up is usually about a week. A homepage is usually 2–3 weeks, and a full site 3–5 weeks. The written plan includes exact dates and when I'll need your input.
How do I pay?
By secure online invoice. A fix-up is paid after the work is done and you’ve checked it. A new homepage is 50% to start and 50% once you approve it, before it goes live. A full website is three equal payments: to start, when you approve the design, and before launch. If you cancel before I start designing, your first payment is refunded in full. Full payment and refund terms.
What if I want changes later?
A round of revisions is included in every project. New pages or features after that are quoted separately, upfront, so there are never surprise charges.
