We design a preview of your homepage first, so you know exactly what you're getting. See the look and feel, then decide if we are right for you.
Built from scratch around what you do, where you are, and who you serve. Not a template someone else is already using.
Your site is optimized to look great on every screen it's viewed on — phone, tablet, or computer.
Simple sites can go live in days when your content is ready. Bigger builds get a real design phase and the time to do it right.
After your site launches, you have 30 days to request reasonable changes within the original project scope at no charge. For ongoing changes after that, see our Care plans.
After the project is paid in full, you own your final website files. No holding your files hostage.
You don't have a site yet, or what you have isn't working. We build you a clean custom website from scratch — designed around your business, optimized for search, and ready on a timeline built around your project.
Your site exists but feels outdated or isn't bringing in business. We modernize the design, clean up the code, and can move you to fast hosting starting at $19.99/month. Refresh work is quoted separately based on scope.
Keep your site live and fast-loading with SSL hosting. Hosting starts at $19.99/month. Add a Care plan for ongoing site changes — Standard at $30/month or Priority at $55/month. No long-term commitment. View Hosting · View Standard Care · View Priority Care

A Bay Area tech enthusiast who started Idea Jar because I believe small businesses deserve a real web presence, not a cookie-cutter template.
The name actually comes from an app I built for my own family — a digital jar full of weekend activity ideas for when inspiration runs dry. That project taught me that good tools, built with care, genuinely change how people live and work.
Before Idea Jar I spent years working for a company where the entire philosophy was simple: the best way to grow a business is to take care of your customers better than anyone else. That stuck with me. It's how I run every project.
You get clean custom code, fast turnaround, and someone who actually answers when you call.
I'll put together a custom quote — usually within one business day.
