// who you'll work with

One developer. No middlemen.

I'm Jesse, a web and app developer based in Salem. When you hire BitGlow, you talk to the person actually building your site: no account managers, no handoffs, no getting lost in translation.

I'd rather understand your business than sell you features. Most projects start with a 30-minute call about what you need your website to do.

  2. 2. Fixed quoteClear price and timeline
  3. 3. LaunchUsually in 2–3 weeks

// questions

Straight answers.

Don't see yours? Ask me directly.

How much does a website cost?
Starter sites (1–3 pages) are $900–1,200, Standard sites (up to 5 pages) are $1,800–2,500, and Premium sites (8–12 pages with copywriting) are $3,500–5,000. Already have a site? A Fix-up is $400–900. You get a flat quote after a free call, with 50% due to start and 50% before launch. No hourly billing.
Do I have to sign up for a care plan?
No. Care plans are optional and start at $59/month for hosting, updates, backups and small edits. After the first 3 months they're month to month, and if you ever leave, you get a full backup of your site for free.
Will I own my website?
Yes. Once the project is paid, you own the design, content and code made for your site. Your domain is registered in your own name, not mine.
Why do I need separate pages for each service and area?
Google ranks individual pages, not whole websites. If someone searches “roof repair Keizer”, a page about roof repair in Keizer will usually beat a general services page that just says “serving the Salem area”. Separate pages for each service, and for the main towns you work in, give you a strong match for each of those searches. I write each page with real local details like past jobs, photos and reviews, because copy-paste pages with the town name swapped can actually hurt your rankings.
How long does a project take?
A typical small-business website launches 2–3 weeks after I have your content (text, photos, logo). Online stores and custom tools take longer. I'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Where are you located, and do you work with clients outside Salem?
I'm based in Salem, Oregon, and I love working with local businesses across Marion and Polk counties. I also work with clients remotely across the U.S. Most of the process happens over calls and email either way. More about web design in Salem →
Will I work directly with the developer?
Yes, always. There are no account managers or middlemen. You talk directly to the person building your site, which means less lost in translation and faster decisions.
