Taking new projects in the South Bay

Your new website. Built free, first.

I build fast, modern websites for small businesses and nonprofits in Redondo Beach and the South Bay. You see your new site before you pay anything, so you know exactly what you’re getting.

02 How it works

See it first. Pay if you love it.

  1. 1

    I build you a free prototype

    A real, working website made for your business, with your name, your services and your photos. Not a template, not a mockup.

    Free
  2. 2

    You review it

    Take your time. Click around on your phone, show your staff or your family. No sales pitch, no pressure.

    No obligation
  3. 3

    Buy it, refine it, or walk away

    Buy it as-is for $100 and it’s yours. Want changes? I’ll refine it with you, from $25 an hour. Not for you? Walk away and owe nothing.

    $100 · from $25/hr · $0

Never had a website? No problem.

Most businesses I work with are starting from nothing, or from a page they’d rather nobody saw. I handle everything: the design, the writing, getting it online and setting it up for Google. Afterwards, I’ll show you how to update your own text and photos, or just send me a list and I’ll do it.

  • Works on every phone
  • You own the website
  • No monthly subscription
  • Edit your own text and photos

04 About

Onward Digital is a one-person web studio in the South Bay. I build websites for local businesses and nonprofits, and my own apps too. You deal with me directly, from the first sketch to the day your site goes live, and after.

Local and easy to reach

Based in Redondo Beach. Call or text, and talk to the person building your site.

Fast, and built to last

Quick to load, easy to read on any phone, and hand-built rather than a drag-and-drop template.

Yours to keep

You own the website and all of its code. No lock-in, no surprise fees.
