From an idea to your site, live
You don't get put into a template. You build your site with me, one step at a time, and you can see every step on your own dashboard. Here it is, done to this very site.
tap the steps, or go in order ↓The interest form
Tell me who you are, what you do, and the kind of site you're after.
Then the part most people skip: where people find you now. Your site if you have one, your Instagram and Facebook, Bandcamp, your merch shop, and how people pay you: Venmo, Cash App, PayPal. I read all of it before I ask you anything.
Sending it makes your dashboard right away. It starts as a blank sheet of graph paper, with this road across the top.
Your intake form
From everything you sent and everything already out there, I write an intake just for you. No generic questionnaire.
- What I think I know: facts I found, for you to mark right, or not quite and say it your way.
- Questions only you can answer, written for your project.
- Your photos, with who took them, so they get credit.
- The site you're picturing, in your own words: its pages, its look, what it has to have.
If you're a band or a group, everyone answers in their own voice.
Your sketch
I sketch your site from your intake: every page, drawn in pencil on graph paper, with your real photos taped in. These are the actual drawings of this site.
Then it's in your hands. A toolbar sits on top:
- Words: tap any words and retype them.
- Picture: swap a photo, or make room for a new one.
- Fonts: try other fonts for the headings and the words.
- Note: stick a note on anything to say how you want it.
It saves as you go, for your whole team.

Note 1 → the paint stripMake the swatches bigger, like real paint chips
The proof
I build the real site from your sketch: your words, your photos, your fonts, working on a phone and a computer.
A yellow sticky pad sits in the corner of every page. Stick a note right on anything that's not right. I make the change, it comes back, and you check it. Until you sign off, every note is free.
I leave you a few green notes too: the facts only you can settle.
Note 2 → the headingCan "studio" sit a little closer?

Sign off, and it's yours
When the proof is right, you sign it. That's where you buy it: the codebase is yours, for $450. Every page, every file, all of it.
Then you tell me what you want to do with it.
I publish it for you
$50 more and I put it online for three years, help you get your domain or move the one you have, and give you 25 sticky notes. Your own words and photos you change as often as you like.
Stay on MindsEye
Change your own words and photos any time, yourself. For the jobs that aren't so simple, sticky notes come in packs of 25 for $20, and they never expire. Bigger new features are priced as they come up.
Walk with the code
Take it and host it wherever you like. It's yours.
Published
Your site is live, on your own domain. It's the site you built: you chose the words, the photos, the fonts and the pages, on paper first.
If you stayed on MindsEye, your dashboard stays open: change words and photos yourself, and stick a note when you want something new.
