What It Costs
A range up front so you can tell early whether this is worth a conversation. Builds are quoted as a fixed price once scoped; support is a flat rate.

$99/ month
Optional ongoing coverage once a site is live. Day-to-day content stays yours to edit.
- Hosting, SSL and 24/7 uptime monitoring
- Dependency and security updates
- Priority support (a-la-carte)
Shopify and WordPress builds are hosted by your platform; everything else here still applies.
Small Request
$125/ hour
One-off tasks, extra work outside scope, and minor tweaks beyond the Hosting Plan.
- Quoted up front, not after
- Billed only for the time used
- Anything past ~12 hours becomes a fixed-price package

About
Who I Am
I'm Jacob Cain, a web developer and systems engineer from Cincinnati, Ohio. I build things businesses actually need, and fix the processes around them. E-commerce, websites, software, apps, and tools built for how your business actually runs.
Founded and ran my own Shopify retail brand for eight years, so I know what it's like to depend on technology and systems working.
AI-assisted workflows let me move fast without cutting corners on security or compliance.
Based in Cincinnati, working with companies nationwide.
