Website Making
Written By: Zachary Kai » Published: | Updated:
The internet gave us the gift of self-publishing. So why do many creatives rent space on platforms they don't control? Your work deserves a permanent home!
I make static HTML websites: fast, secure, and low-maintenance. No headaches, subscriptions, or complexity. Just a beautiful site that's yours.
Why Static HTML?
Static sites are just files, like documents! There's nothing to hack or break. They load instantly, last forever, and cost almost nothing to publish.
I taught myself to code because everyone deserves a space on the web. I've made my sites, several others, and love the indie web. Your work shouldn't be held hostage. Nor should breaking free be hard.
Portfolio
I've hand-coded the site you're reading this on, my personal site, book blog, and my experiments site.
I've also built the Indie Press Webring, and 10+ WordPress-based sites for everything from a crafts website to a publishing company. I also make templates folks can use across their projects, like this one for AHEM*.
Static HTML supports image galleries, contact forms, navigation menus, and embedded media. Whether your site is text-focused or visually rich, I'll build it!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Update It Myself?
Yes! If you're comfortable with (or want to learn) you can update your site. The files are yours! If you'd rather not, I offer small updates for a modest fee, or we can discuss a simple ongoing arrangement.
What About A Blog?
For simple blogging, I can build a basic blog or help you set up a complementary platform that links to your main site. Complex blogging is better served by dedicated tools.
What About Selling Things?
I recommend places like Gumroad or Ko-Fi. Your site can link to these. Building a full shop would be a different (much larger) project.
What About Pricing?
A single-page site starts at $135 USD, a several-page site at $275, and a multi-page site at $350. These are base rates.
I'll adjust them to account for extra features or services, and for folks in countries with a lower cost of living. When you email me, I'll share a rate that reflects where you are. You can pick the currency you pay in!
