Ochre & Lime Painting Co.
Core $997A fictional house painter
Five pages, tap-to-call and a quote form. The everyday standard, done properly and fast on a phone.
Your business already does good work. Your website should show it.
I design and build websites for painters, landscapers, plumbers and other local service businesses: a first website if you have never had one, or a rebuild of the one you have. Clear on a phone, honest about what you do, and easy to contact.

Interactive demonstration: a fictional plumber's website from 2011 is taken apart inside a browser window, redrawn, and rebuilt as a modern site you can use.

Sablelight
Signature from $5,000A fictional outdoor lighting studio
A high-desert house you walk up to at dusk and light yourself: scrub the hour from sunset to night and switch on the paths, walls, garden, water and house. It shows how far a Signature project can go. Signature work is designed and quoted individually, and not every project includes effects like these.

A fictional demonstration, not a client project. It is much heavier than this page, so it loads only when you open it.
Three ways to build it
Two fixed prices and one proposal, for a first website or a rebuild. As you move through the packages, each one puts its own example site on the stage; open any of them and click through it yourself. Care and priority are optional extras, off unless you turn them on, and nothing is decided until the scope is in writing.

Care is optional, at every level
Core Managed Care is $59 per month for hosting, ongoing website maintenance and routine content updates. Care for a Growth or Signature site is quoted to its scope. No care plan is on sale yet: each needs its written service terms, tested operations and a reviewed agreement first, so for now you can ask about it. Billed monthly, separately from the build, and only if you choose it. It starts after launch. Always optional: you can take a self-managed handoff and host the site yourself. Your own hosting and domain costs then apply.
Your domain stays yours
Domain registration and renewal are separate, paid by you to the registrar and registered in your name. If you do not have one yet, I help you choose and register it; if you already own one, I connect it.
Need it sooner?
Tell me your timeline when you get in touch, and I will say plainly what is realistic before you commit to anything. For Signature, faster milestones and their pricing depend on your project and on confirmed availability: ask about Priority. Priority is about the first preview or milestone, never the launch date.
Clutter is not a style. Sort it.
Many small-business websites are not ugly; they are unsorted. Turn the ring and watch a cluttered homepage put itself in the order a customer actually needs. Then change who is visiting, and watch the order change with them.

Measured live on this demo page. Quillhaven Heating & Air is fictional.
Sort out my site The business in the instrument is fictional; the thinking is what you get.
How it works
One written scope, two payments, and your site goes live after it is paid for. Here is the whole path, including the part after launch.
-
A free first look
If your business is a fit for what I build, I make a concept of your homepage from what you already publish. Looking at it costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
-
Scope in writing
We agree the pages, price and schedule in writing. You pay a 50% deposit before substantial work begins.
-
50% deposit paid
Build and review
I build the site on an unlisted review link: it is not listed or indexed, but anyone with the link can open it. You review it and use the revision rounds in your package.
-
Approve and pay the balance
After the revision rounds in your package, you approve the finished site and pay the remaining 50%.
-
Balance paid · live
Launch and handoff
Your site goes live on your domain. The domain is always yours, and so is a finished Core or Growth site (Signature ownership is set out in its proposal). I help with everything needed to launch: if you do not have a domain yet, I help you register one in your name (you pay the registrar directly), then I connect it, set up SSL, test the live site and hand it over.
Then choose how it is looked after: a self-managed handoff, or optional care once its terms are final (Core Managed Care for a Core site, care quoted to scope for larger sites).
The order never changes: the concept is free, paid work starts after the written scope and the deposit, and the site goes live after the balance is paid.
One person, start to finish
I'm Reed Miller, and Drenin is the name I work under. I design and build Drenin websites and answer for every part of them, so the person you talk to on day one is the person who launches your site.
That makes ambitious work possible without it getting lost between people: the concept, the build and the launch stay in one head, and every decision is written down where you can see it.
A direct line
You email me, not a ticket queue, and I answer every message myself.
Continuity
The person who draws the concept is the person who builds it and puts it live, so nothing is lost in a handoff.
Honest scoping
If you ask for something I have not built before, I say so, test whether it works, and only then put it in the written scope with a price.
Behind the design
Two small experiments from building this site, for the curious. They show how I test readability, layout and motion before I use any of it on a real business's site. Neither is part of a package unless a proposal says so, and each one loads only when you open it.
One page, any screen
Try it: about a minute
Change the spacing, the colors and the screen size of a fictional electrician's page, and watch it stay readable. It is how I check that a design holds up on every phone.
The surface of this site
Custom visual work, for fun
The hexagon floor behind these pages: tilt it, change the cells and the light, and drop a ripple. It is the kind of bespoke visual work a Signature project can include, when it is agreed in writing.
Every control changes the real page on the spot. The same set of design rules keeps it tidy and readable as its spacing, colors and screen size change.
Power, done properly.
Panel upgrades, EV chargers and rewiring for homes across the county, from an electrician who explains the work before starting it.

Your browser has WebGL turned off, so the field shows as a still pattern everywhere on this page.
The same surface runs behind this whole page: it lies flat as a floor at the top, stands up like a wall further down, and opens into the window at the top of the page when you play it.
Start a conversation
Tell me about your business, whether you need a first website or a better one. If it is a fit for what I build, I will make you a free concept of your homepage. There is no obligation, and one line back is enough to say no thanks.
