Website Design
Better Websites.
Built Faster.
If you're reading this, there's a good chance your website is either broken, boring, or built back when phones still had home buttons.
The good news? You’re in the right place. I redesign websites for small businesses that need something better — fast, affordable, and actually built to help you grow.
I partner with business owners and marketers to grow your online footprint, traffic, leads and sales. That starts with clean, functional, SEO-friendly web design.
Here are three examples of websites I’ve built for businesses in the Ann Arbor-area:
See below for more examples
I also work with other talented freelancers (brand designers, graphic designers, photographers, etc.) to help small businesses attain bespoke, big agency-caliber branding at a fraction of a cost of most vendors.

Why Work With Me?
Most agencies take months to redesign a basic website — and they’ll charge you like they’re building the next Facebook. On the flip side, many freelancers are affordable but lack the marketing background to create something that actually helps grow your business.
At Fat Squirrel, we fill the gap, specializing in small business websites that are:
Faster. We cut out the fluff. Many sites are launched in weeks, not months.
Smarter. With years of experience in SEO and digital strategy, we don’t just build pretty pages — we build sites that can rank, convert, and support your business goals.
More affordable. Because we’re lean and local, you’re not paying for a big agency’s overhead. You get expert work, done efficiently, at a price that makes sense.
We’ve rebuilt websites for businesses all across Ann Arbor and Metro Detroit — from local pest control companies to dispensaries to e-commerce brands — each one designed to perform and scale.
How much does this cost?
Depending on their size and complexity, the sites I launch run between $1,500 and $15,000.
Content writing and search engine marketing can be included as a bundle. I also provide ongoing support, training and maintenance to customers.
And I partner with with talented graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, and videographers if you need a fresh brand identity (i.e. logo) and other marketing assets.

REMINDER…
Your brand should definitely look and sound professional online, but usually that only matters if enough people are finding you in the first place! That’s why SEO and marketing skills are two key benefits I offer.
Frequent questions and answers:
Is Squarespace right for me?
The vast majority of small business websites can be built on Squarespace, including eCommerce businesses. It’s a perfect fit for retail stores, private practices, industrial companies, professional services firms, sole proprietors, fitness studios, personal portfolios, non-profits, restaurants, and more.
Can I just do this myself?
Even in the best case scenario, entrusting your project to a web design expert will make the difference between a C+ / B- website — one that looks just like so many other sites and doesn’t quite function how you want it to — and an A site that will win over new customers and reliably serve its core purpose.
