Website design and build · West Palm Beach, Florida
Websites for local businesses, built from scratch and yours to keep.
I am Howard Kessa. I build one website at a time, in code I write myself. No page builder, no bought template, and no licence you keep paying for after I am gone.

I am building a local portfolio, so the next five builds in West Palm Beach, Florida are $399 instead of $1,500. No catch, and no free then five hundred to launch it. You own it outright.
Recent work
Every trade has a problem only that trade has
A barber, an electrician and a law firm are not selling the same thing, so their websites should not be built the same way. Here are three of them.
Why from scratch
A cheap website is usually a rented one
Most inexpensive sites are a bought template dropped into Elementor or Divi. It is quick, and it hands you a yearly bill plus a site no other developer wants to touch. I built one of each on the same afternoon to be sure I was right about that.
| From scratch | A template kit | |
|---|---|---|
| Yearly cost | Nothing. There is no licence. | About $59 before it renders a header |
| If you leave me | Ordinary WordPress. Anyone can pick it up. | Tied to that builder for good |
| Speed | Only the code your site uses | The whole builder on every page |
| Changing colours | One file, about a minute | Fight the builder |
What happens
Live in about a week, once your photographs are with me
We talk for fifteen minutes
No presentation. I ask what the business does and who rings you. If a one page site is all you need I will say so.
Day oneYou send photographs and words
Six to ten pictures of the real place. Taken on a phone in daylight is genuinely fine, and it beats stock photography every time.
Days one to threeI build it
Designed for your trade, not a template with your logo dropped on. You see it on a real address before anyone else does.
Days three to sevenTwo rounds of changes, then live
It goes on your domain and your hosting, both in your name. The code is yours whatever happens between us afterwards.
Day sevenNext step
Tell me about the business
Fifteen minutes on the phone and I will tell you straight whether I can help. If you would be better off spending the money on photographs than on me, I will say that too.
