hi — I’m Deacon.
Make customers hungry before they ever walk in the door.
I design and build websites for local restaurants — by hand, one at a time. The kind of website that greets people, fills tables, and never calls in sick.
Three projects a month — that’s the whole company

it never calls in sick, either
The quiet part
68%
of diners say a restaurant’s website has talked them out of going.

so go ahead — look yourself up. I’ll wait.
The difference
Same restaurant.
Different website.
I made up a little spot called Harbor & Vine to show you what I mean. The left side is where a lot of local sites are stuck. Drag the handle — the right side is what I build.

Harbor & Vine
Off the
boats,
on the fire.
Twenty-eight seats, one wood fire, and whatever came in that morning.

Examples
Designed, built and launched end to end — no agency, no template.
Glacier House
A Mt. Hood room whose whole menu used to be a PDF. Now the site takes orders and holds the kitchen hours.
Kylani
One claim, one input, one thing to do next.
Supercruise
A dense financial product made legible for a general audience.
How it goes
Your homepage first.
Before you owe me a cent.
Tell me your restaurant and I’ll spend an evening on it and send back a finished homepage. Turn me down and the page is still yours to use.

The mockup
I design a real homepage for your place and send it over. No invoice, no meeting needed.

Your notes
Tell me what's wrong with it — the colors, the photos, your name for a dish. I'll change it while you watch.
About a week
Build
Say “build it” and I turn that one page into the whole site — menu, story, contact, booking.
I handle it
Launch
I put it live, set up Google, and hand you every file. The domain stays in your name.
What it costs.
An agency quotes this site at
$6,000–15,000
You pay

Hosting, domain and SSL alone run $30–50 a month if you buy them yourself — and then you’re the one renewing them.
Hand it all overLook yourself up
See your own site
the way a diner does.
Paste your address above.
A laptop and a phone, side by side
What I’d fix
Paste your address and I’ll read the page the way a phone does, then tell you what’s costing you tables.
The back of the napkin
Two extra tables a week covers the whole thing.
This is what happens when two Friday walk-ins find your menu on their phone and decide to come in.
$70 is a guess — type your own table price and every line below moves.

Who you’re hiring
It’s just me. On purpose.
A Lakeside student who will care more about your website than any agency ever would. My whole pitch:
You've seen my work
Kylani and Supercruise are live — designed, built and shipped by me, end to end. Open them on your phone; I'll wait.
Two weeks, start to finish
You already have the homepage. Give me the go-ahead and the whole site is live in about two weeks.
No hostages
Your site, your domain, your files — yours from day one. If we ever part ways, everything comes with you.
I take three projects a month — that’s the whole company.
Next step
Send me your restaurant.
Tell me the restaurant and I’ll build the homepage first, free, before you decide anything.
