Websites for small businesses. Built properly, by one person.

I'm Nick. I design and build websites, web apps and custom tools for small businesses. You deal with me directly, you get one price in writing, and you own everything when it's done.

A look at something I designed and built, from the interface down to the servers behind it.

StockRecoAI web app, 2026

News and sentiment analysis for stocks.

Type in a ticker and StockReco reads the latest news, scores the sentiment and gives a plain-English recommendation with the reasons behind it.

  • AI score and recommendation. Confidence, risk level and a full breakdown for every stock.
  • Live news from three sources. Finnhub, NewsAPI and Alpha Vantage, combined into bullish and bearish signals.
  • Ask Rico. A built-in assistant for follow-up questions about any stock.
  • Keys stay private. API keys live on the server, never in the browser.

Built with JavaScript, Netlify Functions, AI APIs and market data APIs.

A note from Nick

A lot of small businesses either don't have a website or have one they've outgrown. It's slow, it's awkward on a phone, or it's stuck on a builder that charges every month and still looks like everyone else's.

I keep the process simple. We talk about what your business actually needs, I give you one price in writing, and I build it. You can text or email me the whole way through, and you'll always be talking to the person doing the work.

When we're done, it's yours. Your domain, your files and your content, with nothing locking you in.

Founder,
Nick Systems

Most small business websites are slow, confusing on a phone, or rented by the month. Yours doesn't have to be.

Process

How a project goes

You get a private preview link early on, so you can watch your site come together instead of waiting for a big reveal.

  1. Day 1

    A free call

    We talk about your business and what the site needs to do. You get a fixed price in writing, usually the same day.

  2. Week 1

    Design

    I lay out your pages and design the homepage. You tell me what you like and what you don't until it feels right.

  3. Weeks 2 to 3

    Build

    I build the full site and test it on phones, tablets and computers.

  4. Week 4

    Launch

    Your site goes live on your domain. I walk you through it, and every file is yours.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Something else on your mind? Email me and I'll get back to you within a day.

Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?

They work for some people. A custom site loads faster, does better on Google, has no required monthly subscription, and doesn't look like a template thousands of other businesses are using.

Do you only work with local businesses?

I'm based in MetroWest, Massachusetts, so I can meet in person with businesses in towns like Framingham, Natick, Wayland, Sudbury and Marlborough. I also work with clients anywhere over video calls and email.

Do I have to pay for hosting?

Usually not. Most sites I build can be hosted for free. You only pay for your domain name, which is about $12 a year.

Can I make changes myself?

Yes. Add the edit-it-yourself option and you can update text and photos from a simple dashboard. Or choose the care plan and send me changes anytime.

What do you need from me?

Your logo if you have one, some photos, and a rough idea of what each page should say. If you'd rather not write it, add copywriting and I'll handle it.

What if I don't like the design?

You approve the design before I build anything, and we revise it together until you're happy. You don't pay the second half until the site is finished.

Let's talk about your website.

Tell me a little about your business and what you're looking for. I'll reply within a day with some ideas and a fixed price.
