Build Your Portfolio… the Right Way
Ditch Squarespace and Wix—stop overpaying & wasting your valuable time.
Don’t Make the Same Mistake I Did
A few years ago, I looked at some website builders like Squarespace, Wix, and all the other options. I signed up for the recommended plan on Wix, but I eventually realized I’d made a big mistake:
I was overpaying for a website, and even worse—I had to manage it all myself!
I’ve seen too many of my fellow creative professionals make the same mistake. Is $23/month (plus tax) really a big deal? Let me explain!
How much does one simple portfolio website, on the “recommended” $23/month plan, cost you for 5 years?
Over $1500!
And I’ve had two portfolio websites for close to 7 years now—that’s over four thousand dollars I would’ve wasted!
Why Websites Matter
If you’re reading this, you’re probably an intelligent, creative person. Even in the age of AI and free website templates, I’ve seen other intelligent, creative people build some of the ugliest, unflattering websites I’ve ever seen.
It’s tricker than you think… and these folks still paid every single month to keep their website online.
If you have a great website, it instantly makes you appear professional and competent. I know firsthand how valuable this is, because I’ve sent my portfolio websites to lots of people.
But if you have a bad website, someone will probably choose NOT to hire you because of it.
So clearly, websites are vitally important for creative professionals. But most of the solutions out there just… suck, to be honest.
I realized that all of us creative people deserve something better.
So… Here’s My Solution
I build professional, simple portfolio websites starting at $700. One-time payment. That’s it. No strings attached, no upsells, no AI, no BS.
I don’t charge extra for hosting or occasional edits. And I show you how to edit the content yourself, if that’s how you like to roll.
This will save you almost $1000 if you keep your website for 5 years.
This will also save you a lot of time. Are you creative AND detail-oriented enough to put together a beautiful website by yourself? And if you are… how fast could you do it? What tools would you use? What guidance would you follow?
When you work with me, you fill out one easy form, telling your unique story, and uploading some pictures and media… and that’s it. Then I build the whole website for you… so that you don’t have to worry about it.
Hi! My Name is Brett
I’m a website designer, music composer, biking enthusiast, aspiring film snob, and just a really creative guy. I know what it’s like to work in creative industries like music, film, design, animation, game development… you name it. These are my people.
I started coding in high school, and I studied Web Development & Marketing at one of the top 50 business universities in the US… in Nashville, TN, a national hub for creative professionals.
I’ve won design competitions, received awards, worked full-time as a web designer, and built more websites than I can count. I’ve been building websites for almost 10 years now.
But most importantly… I understand the people I build websites for, more than Squarespace or a random freelancer from upwork.com ever could.
