The template site
- A theme thousands of other businesses already bought
- Six seconds to load on a phone
- Blends in with every competitor
- Support tickets into the void
- Platform fees every month, forever

Websites, composed
The website your customers can't forget — built by one person who cares.
Most business sites are templates wearing a logo — slow, interchangeable, forgettable. Yours doesn't have to be. I design and build every site from scratch: one idea, nothing wasted, fast enough to feel instant. The kind of site that makes a customer decide before they've scrolled twice.
The difference
The template site
A site I build for you
Speed claims are measured, not promised — see the live numbers
Before / after
Both drawn in a browser — no stock photos, no page builder. That's the level yours ships at.
The math
A custom website has a reputation: agency prices, agency timelines. Here's the honest math.
Ranges reflect published U.S. build pricing. Your quote is one flat number, agreed in writing before I start.
Optional care plan — monthly, cancel anytime, you still own the site.
A typical first year runs $10,400. Yours is one flat price — and you own it outright.
Why speed is money
53%
of mobile visitors leave a site that takes over 3 seconds to load
+8.4%
more sales from a load time just 0.1 seconds faster
Deloitte
75%
of people judge a business by its website design alone

How it goes — five movements
01
Listen
I learn your business until I can pitch it back to you better than your own homepage does.
02
Compose
One idea, chosen with nerve. Palette, type, light — decided, not defaulted.
03
Rehearse
A working draft of your site in your hands in days — not a PDF mockup.
04
Perform
Launch day, rehearsed. Sixty frames a second, fast on every phone.
05
Encore
I don't disappear at launch. You have my number.
What I promise
No templates. Nothing reused. Built for you alone.
One flat price, agreed before I start.
You own everything — the code, the design, the domain.
Fast enough to feel instant on a phone.
You talk to me. Never an account manager.
Built to be felt.
The last movement is yours
Ian Gavilan — designer & developer
Every pixel and every line of code on this page is mine. I build websites because I couldn't stand how forgettable most of them are — yours won't be. No agency, no hand-offs: when you write, you get me, same day.
If I emailed you, it's because I already looked at your website — and saw what it could be.
No retainers. No lock-in. One flat number.
