Erie, Pennsylvania

I build websites for small businesses around Erie.

You're good at what you do. But when someone hears your name and looks you up, there needs to be something there — a page that says who you are, what you do, and how to reach you.

That's what I build. One page or a few, made to load fast and work on a phone.

"Jake made an awesome website that I didn't even realize I needed! Definitely impressive presentation."

01 Who I am

Jake Roberts, who builds the websites on this page

I'm Jake. I'm one person, not an agency. There's no team, no account manager, no ticket system. You talk to me, and I'm the one building your site.

I live here. I'm not a company in another state that found your business on a list — I'm down the road, and I'd rather you be able to call me than fill out a form and wonder.

I started doing this because the salon where I get my hair cut didn't have a website. I built them one. Then I started noticing how many good businesses around here are in the same spot — solid work, nothing to find online.

Where I work: Erie, Meadville, Girard, Fairview, Edinboro, and the towns in between.

02 Work

Hair salon · Erie PA

Studio Lox · Erie PA

Studio Lox is where I get my hair cut. Two stylists on West 32nd, 5.0★ on Google, and no website at all.

So I built them one — partly for the practice, mostly because a shop that good should be easy to find online.

That's how this started, honestly. If my own salon didn't have a website, how many other Erie businesses are in the same spot? Turns out: a lot of them.

Moore’s Painting & Services

Three pages for an Erie painting company — what they do, the reviews their customers left them, and an easy way to ask for an estimate.

American Handyman

Three pages for a licensed Erie handyman — the work they take on, the area they cover, and a phone number that’s one tap away.

03 How it works

  1. I look first

    Before we talk money, I look at what your customers actually find when they search you — and send you what I find. Free, whether we work together or not.

  2. We talk for 20 minutes

    Your prices, your hours, your story. I handle the writing from there — unless you want in. It's your business, so if you'd rather have your voice in every line, we build it together.

  3. Live within a week

    Then it's yours — the domain, the files, all of it. Nothing locked behind me.

04 What it costs

Every job is a little different. A one-page site for a landscaper is not the same as a shop that needs a menu, hours, and a booking form.

So tell me what you need and I'll give you a straight number for it. One price, agreed before I start. No packages, no “starting at,” nothing added on later.

Here's what you get, whatever the job:

  • People can find you when they search your name
  • Your phone number is one tap away on a phone
  • It loads fast, and it works on a phone
  • Your real hours and services, written for you
  • It's yours to keep — domain, files, all of it

05 Straight answers

What if I already have a website?

Even better — I rebuild them. A lot of Erie businesses have a site that's five years old, hard to read on a phone, or a link that doesn't load anymore. I'll tell you straight whether yours needs a rebuild or just a few fixes.

How long does it take?

Usually live within a week, depending on my queue. If you're on a deadline, tell me — I'll give you a straight yes or no.

What do you need from me?

Photos, your hours and prices, and anything that has to be exact — logo, slogan, the way you spell your own name. Plus anything you wish your website could handle for you. I take it from there.

What does it cost?

Depends what you need — a one-page site and a five-page site are not the same job. Tell me what you're after and I'll give you a straight number before any work starts. You'll know the price up front, and it will not move.

06 A free look at your website

Fill this out and I'll look up your business the way a customer would. Then I'll send you one page: what shows up, what doesn't, and the first thing I'd fix.

Free means free — you keep it either way.
