Ethoic Consulting · Knoxville, Tennessee

A better website for the business you’re building.

I design and build websites that feel like your business, explain what you do, and make the next step easy. If your site already exists, I can improve the pages and paths that matter most.

Custom design for your business.

Thoughtful on every screen.

Clear path to get in touch.

Site and accounts you own.

01 / Website services

Start where your site actually needs help.

A new site and a focused improvement are different jobs. We’ll choose the right scope after looking at what you have and what you need people to do.

01 / Create

A new website

For a business that needs a stronger home online.

  • Page plan and visual direction around your business
  • Custom design and development for the agreed pages
  • Responsive layout, accessibility and search fundamentals
  • Contact path tested before launch
  • Launch handover in accounts you control

From $3,500 for up to six pages

Larger sites are quoted to the agreed pages, content and features.

02 / Improve

Your existing site

For a site that works, but leaves people unsure where to go.

  • Review the most important service and inquiry path
  • Improve the agreed pages, copy and calls to action
  • Fix relevant mobile, accessibility and search issues
  • Test the contact flow and show what changed
  • Leave a short list of sensible next steps

$2,000 fixed for one service path

Up to three pages improved, or one new page, with a before-and-after report.

Prices are plus applicable sales tax. You get the scope and price in writing before any work or payment. Need updates after launch? We can scope future changes separately once the site is in use. Not sure which you need? Start with a $750 Front-Office Check, credited toward the work.

02 / The thinking behind it

Good looking is only the beginning.

01

Give every page a purpose. Make your services, service area and next step plain to the people you want to reach.

02

Make the basics hold up. Build for phones, keyboard use, page speed and search engines without promising rankings.

03

Hand over something usable. Test the inquiry path, document the work and keep the site in accounts you control.

Matt B. · Feedback on consulting and website work

03 / How it works

Clear from the first conversation to launch.

A short conversation tells us whether your site needs a targeted improvement or a new build. I quote the scope before asking for access or payment.

  1. Discover

    Show me what you have.

    We talk through the business, the audience, the current site and what a visitor should be able to do.

  2. Define

    Agree on the work.

    You see the pages, content responsibilities, timing, price and what counts as finished.

  3. Deliver

    Put it to work.

    I build, test on real screen sizes, check the contact path and hand the finished work over.

04 / Questions

Fair questions.

Do I own the finished site?

Yes. A new site is set up in your business’s own domain and hosting accounts, and changes to an existing site stay in the accounts you already use. If we stop working together, the site stays with you.

What will hosting cost after launch?

You pay your domain and hosting providers directly, not me. The sites I build are light enough that hosting is often free or a few dollars a month. I’ll show you the expected yearly cost before you decide.

Can you work with the site I already have?

Usually. A focused improvement works inside what you have, whether that’s WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or something custom. If moving would save you money or trouble, I’ll show you the yearly cost both ways and set up redirects so your existing links keep working.

Will this put me at the top of Google?

No one can honestly promise that. I make your pages clear to search engines and AI tools, fix the technical problems I find, and measure inquiries before and after. Rankings also depend on things outside your website, like your Google Business Profile and reviews.

What do you need from me?

The facts about your services and service area, photos of your own work if you have them, and someone who can approve wording quickly. I write the first draft and you correct anything that isn’t right. I won’t add reviews, numbers or claims you haven’t given me.

How long does it take?

Plan on one to two weeks for a focused improvement once we agree on the scope, and three to six weeks for a new site. Most of the difference comes from how quickly content and approvals come together.

Who does the work?

I do. I’m Jake Bowser, founder of Ethoic Inc in Knoxville. I take on a small number of projects at a time and reply within one business day.
