Hand-coded websites for barbershops and local businesses. I build it first and you see it free. $300 once, split in half: $150 to start yours, $150 when you say it looks right. No monthly fee, no contract, and everything is yours.

The whole thing runs on one rule: you never put money down on something you have not seen. The site exists before your first dollar does.
A picture of your shop and your name is plenty. I reply the same day.
Designed and coded from scratch around your services, prices and reviews, using what's already public. Free, before any money moves.
On your phone, on a real link. If it is not for you, that is the end of it. You pay nothing and I take it down.
$150 starts yours: your photos go on and one full round of changes is included. The last $150 is due only when you say it looks right, and then everything transfers to you.
Five of them, each one a working site you can open today. Every screenshot below is the actual page, not a mockup.
A full artist site with shows, flyers, mixes and a laser-wall video section. Built so promoters see a pro before they ever hear a set.
Visit the site
Sleek monochrome with scroll animation, a full service menu with pricing, a team section and one-tap booking by location.
Visit the site
Not just barbershops. A late-night Sonoran dog stand with a bold menu, order buttons everywhere, and a look you can read from a moving car.
Visit the site
Dark editorial look with big type. The shop's existing scheduler stays and gets deep-linked, so regulars book the way they always did.
Visit the site
Classic serif, gold turned gray on black, gallery and a shop story page. Reads like the place has been cutting hair for a hundred years.
Visit the siteI do not touch your calendar. Booksy, Squire, Fresha, Square, whatever runs your day right now keeps running it. The site is the front door that belongs to you, not a marketplace showing your clients the shop down the street.
Strangers find you on Google. They check you out on Instagram. The site is what "barber near me" opens. It is the missing piece of the stack you already trust, sitting between your Google profile and your booking app.
Every horror story you have heard about websites ends the same way: somebody else held the keys. Not here.
Code is just the tool. What you are actually getting is one person who designs it, builds it, and answers the phone. I am not one of the 30 emails you got this week about improving your website. I already built yours. Want to see it?
Nobody hires a kid with no agency behind him. So I built over 1,600 sites to prove the work, and put my own name on every one of them.
Built by Alex is run entirely by Alex. No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore team. You talk to the person who writes the code. Every call, every text, every line.

Optional care plan, $50 a month. I handle every update for you and send a report on the 15th. Skip it and the site still works, still yours.
You never have to touch it. No dashboard, no plugins, no updates. Nothing to maintain, and when you want something changed, I'm one text away.
There isn't one. I build it free, and if you don't want it, you never pay a dollar and I take it down. If you do want it, it's $150 to start and $150 when you approve it. I can afford to work this way because your site is already built by the time we talk, and showing it to you costs me nothing.
A Facebook page is fine until someone Googles you and finds nothing. The site is what "barber near me" opens, and it shows your prices, your work and your Book button without an account or an algorithm in the way.
Keep it. Booksy runs your calendar, the site is your front door on Google. It deep-links straight into your Booksy page, so strangers find you, see your work, and land on your calendar. Nothing about your day changes.
Then you don't keep it. If you never start it, you pay nothing at all and I take the site down. And if you've put down the $150 and it's still not right after your changes, we stop there and you never send the rest.
It's split in half. $150 starts yours, which covers putting your own photos on and making your changes. The last $150 is due only when you've looked at the finished site and told me it looks right. Both are secure Stripe links, and nothing goes live before you approve it.
No. $300 once and the site is yours, hosting and SSL included. The only monthly thing I offer is the optional $50 care plan, and the site works fine without it.
You do. If you already have a domain, it gets pointed at the new site in about ten minutes and stays yours. If you don't, you buy one for about $12 a year in your own name, and once the final payment clears I send you a short instructions doc that walks you through the whole thing. Every file of the site is delivered to you either way.
First version in about 24 hours. Your photos and one round of changes usually land the same day you send them. Figure about a week from first text to live site.
Text me a picture of your shop. That's it, I'll take it from there. Calls work too.
