About

I’m Edwin. I build websites for the shop down the street.

I started Friendly Site Crafter for a simple reason: the businesses I love most — the corner café, the family plumber, the weekend honey stand — usually have websites that don’t do them justice. Either there’s nothing at all, or there’s something from a decade ago that’s hard to read on a phone and impossible to find on Google.

So I made a deal with myself: one site a day, done right. Not five done fast. When I take on your project, I learn your business the way a neighbor would — what you make, who walks in the door, what you want them to do first. Then I build a site that sounds like you and works as hard as you do.

A flat $500 covers all of it: warm colors that fit your trade, your photos cleaned up so the food looks like the food you actually cook, a “call us” button that works, and the technical parts — speed, mobile, SEO, accessibility — handled so you never have to think about them.

And because doing good work should do some good, $75 of every project goes to a nonprofit you pick at checkout. You get the receipt; I keep the ledger public. Nobody has to guess where the money went.

Why one a day

Because that’s how many I can do well by myself. If I took on five, four of them would feel like a template. So I take one, learn your business, and build it like a neighbor would — because that’s exactly what I am.

Local

I build for the shop down the street — the bakery, the barber, the plumber. People, not logos.

Honest price

$500, flat. No tiers to decode, no monthly fee to keep your lights on. You always know what it costs.

Real hands

One person builds your site, start to finish. If something's wrong, you know exactly whose desk it's on.
