Less agency back-and-forth. More working software, delivered clean.

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.
Project Work
$3,000–$8,000typical range
Where most builds land, depending on scope.
- Scoped before anything is quoted
- Fixed price you approve before work starts
- Smaller, tightly scoped work can come in under
Care Plan
$99/ month
Optional ongoing cover once a site is live. Day-to-day content stays yours to edit.
- Hosting, SSL and uptime monitoring
- Dependency and security updates
- Priority support
Shopify and WordPress builds are hosted by your platform; everything else here still applies.
Small Changes
$125/ hour
One-off tasks and minor tweaks beyond the Care Plan.
- Quoted up front, not after
- Billed only for the time used
- Anything past ~10 hours becomes a fixed-price package
No retainers you can't leave, and no hourly meter running on a build. Tell me what you need and I'll come back with a number.

About
Who I Am
I'm Jacob Cain, a web developer and systems engineer in Cincinnati, Ohio. I enjoy building the things businesses actually need and improving the processes around them as a good system can make or break your success. I build e-commerce stores, restaurant sites, software, tooling, and internal apps customized to your business.
Founded and ran my own Shopify retail brand for eight years, so I know what it's like to depend on tech and systems working.
AI-assisted workflows on top of my background means I ship quickly without stepping outside the security and governance guardrails your business needs.
Based in Cincinnati, working with companies nationwide.
