Custom websites for Roaring Fork Valley businesses.

I design and build sites that bring in customers, with online booking, payments, stores and a private dashboard to run it all. You own every piece of it, and I can keep it running for as little as $29 a month.

What I can build for you.

Every site starts with a conversation about your business. These are the four kinds I build most.

Business sites

A polished site that explains what you do, looks great on a phone, shows up on Google, and makes it easy for customers to reach you.

Good forContractors, consultants, photographers, studios

Booking and admin systems

Customers book or pay a deposit online, and you run it all from a private dashboard. Confirmations, reminders and waivers go out on their own.

Good forRental companies, guides, service businesses, events

Online stores

Sell products from your own custom site, with a Shopify checkout that handles inventory, shipping and sales tax for you.

Good forMakers, retailers, local shops

Customer portals and courses

A members-only area where clients log in to take a course, work through a program, or see their own account.

Good forCoaches, educators, membership businesses

Not sure which one you need? That's what the first conversation is for. Tell me about your business.

How it works.

A clear price before any work starts, and a site that keeps running after launch.

  1. Talk

    Fill out a short questionnaire or just call. We talk through what your business needs. It's free.

  2. Plan

    You get a flat-fee proposal and a timeline, so you know the full price before anything is built.

  3. Build

    You see real progress every week and can steer along the way, not just at the end.

  4. Launch

    I launch your site, show you around, and keep it running on whichever care plan fits.

Care plans.

Every site I build can stay on a plan, so it keeps running and keeps getting better. Start free, or add monitoring, backups and monthly edits. No contract, change plans anytime, and pay for a year up front to save 10%.

Taylor Wiese on a trail with his son Otto in a hiking carrier

How this started.

When I started my engineering firm, I needed a website. Every quote I got was way outside what a new small business could spend, so I built it myself. Somewhere along the way I realized I loved it, and that a lot of businesses in the valley were stuck in the same spot I was.

I'm Taylor Wiese. I've lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for five years with my wife Crystal and our kids, Eä and Otto. The mountains brought us here, and the people are why we stay.

By trade I'm a licensed professional engineer. That work demands speed and efficiency without cutting corners, and I bring the same standard to every site I build. Every site is custom-built in code, not dropped into a template. I run my own businesses on the same booking and email systems I build for clients, so I know they hold up. And when you need something, you don't open a support ticket. You call me.

Questions people usually ask.

Don't see yours? Text or call me at 970-379-2945.

How much does a website cost?

Every project gets a flat-fee quote after a free conversation, so you know the full price before any work starts. Simple business sites start around $500. Booking systems, stores and portals depend on what they need to do, and I'll walk you through the options.

Which care plan do I need?

It depends on how often your site changes:

  • Free ($0/month) if you just want your site online and will reach out only when you need something. No monitoring or backups, and changes are billed by the hour.
  • Hosting ($29/month) if you rarely change your site and just want it kept safe and running. Edits are billed by the hour.
  • Care ($129/month) if you update prices, hours, menus or photos most months. It includes an hour of edits every month.
  • Growth ($249/month) if you want regular new pages, SEO work and advice on what's working.

Not sure? Start with Care. Its included hour is worth more than the price difference from Hosting. You can change plans anytime. See the plans.

Who owns my website?

You do. Your code, domain, data, and Stripe or Shopify account all sit in your name. There's no long-term contract, and if you ever leave, I hand everything over so you or another developer can take it from there.

Are there any other costs?

A few small ones, paid directly to the service:

  • Your domain renewal, typically $15 to $20 a year
  • Card fees from Stripe or Shopify, only when you take a payment
  • Shopify's monthly plan, only if your site includes an online store

I'll tell you every cost up front, before anything is built.

Can I update the site myself?

Most people just text me what they want changed. The Care and Growth plans include monthly edit hours, and on Free and Hosting I quote each change before I start. For things you change often, like prices, menus or availability, I can build a simple admin page so you can update them yourself anytime.

How long does a website take?

A business site is usually live in about a week. A booking and admin system takes 2 to 4 weeks, and every proposal includes a clear timeline before work starts.

How do you build your sites?

Every site is custom-built in code, not a template, and runs on a few proven services: GitHub stores the code, Netlify hosts it, and tools like Stripe, Shopify and Firebase handle payments, stores and logins. There's no server to maintain, so sites are fast, secure and inexpensive to run. Read the full overview (PDF).
