Sound familiar?

You've been meaning to fix the website for two years.

Wix wants $40 a month forever and it still loads slowly. An agency quoted $5,000 and a two-month timeline. And you've got a business to run. I'm the third option: a real custom site, done in a week, at a price that makes sense.

The builder bill never stops

$35–60 a month, for years. Stop paying and the site disappears.

It loads slowly on phones

Templates carry a lot of weight. Half of mobile visitors leave after three seconds.

Agencies start at $3,000

Kickoff meetings, revision rounds, and a launch date that keeps sliding.

Nobody can find you

Customers search your service and your city. If the site isn't built for that, they call someone else.

Examples

Things I've built and shipped.

Sites and apps that are live right now, not mockups. Swipe through.

The math

Cheaper than Wix by year two. Cheaper than an agency on day one.

A builder subscription looks small until you add it up. A custom site is paid once, and then it's just yours.

Builder pricing is the published range for business plans. Agency pricing is the typical small-business range and varies widely. Add the optional care plan and a Schafer site is $800 over three years.

Anything else — call or text (808) 216-0912. I pick up.

How much does a website cost, and are there monthly fees?
A flat one-time price: $500 for Basic, $800 for Pro, $1,200 for Premium. There are no monthly platform fees. The only optional recurring cost is the $100-a-year care plan if you'd rather have domain renewal and updates handled for you.
How fast will my website be live?
Seven business days from deposit and content. You review it on day 4 and it goes live on day 7. Premium is fast-tracked to five.
Do I own my website, code, and domain?
Yes, completely. The domain is registered in your name and the code and files are yours. You're never locked into a monthly platform, and you can take the site anywhere.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site is built with clean code, fast loading, a mobile-first layout, and the local-business markup Google looks for. Pro and Premium include Google Business Profile setup so you show up on the map, too.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. You send your business name, services, hours, and photos. Design, code, hosting, domain, and SSL are all handled — and I show you how to make simple updates yourself if you want to.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your business details and a 50% deposit to hold your build week. You pay the other half when the site is live and you're happy with it.
