Figure out what the site needs
We talk through your offer, sharpen the wording, and decide what each page needs to accomplish before design starts.
WEBSITES FOR SMALL BUSINESSES READY TO GROW
You didn’t go into business to become a web designer.
You went into business to help people. I’ll help you shape the message, build the site, and make sure you’re never left alone with it.
A small look inside how the work comes together.
Strategy notes, plain-language decisions, and the next useful thing—not a wall of mystery.

THE BUTTON STORY
I once lost an entire day to one button.
When I started my first business, I built my own website. I bought a theme I liked—and then spent a full day trying to change one button at the top of the page. By dinner I hadn’t changed the button, and I hadn’t helped a single client either.
That’s the trap. The “easy” path quietly eats your evenings, while the real work you started your business to do waits.
You have better things to do with your day than fight a button.

THE REAL JOB
A website—and someone who tells you what it needs.
Make the right thing well
You get a finished, professional website shaped around the people you want to reach—not a template asking you to do all the strategic work.
Leave with the keys
Your domain, site, and content stay in your name. If we ever part ways, you take everything with you.
THE PROCESS
From “I should really fix my website” to “come look at my website.”
01
The Call
Free, no pressure, and you’ll leave with my best ideas whether or not we work together.
02
The Prep
We work through your offer, words, and photos together. You’re never handed homework and left alone with it.
03
The Build
I design and build the site, refine it with you, and make sure it works beautifully on phones.
04
The Handoff
You receive your training, site guide, and a real person who still answers after launch.
Most projects go from first call to finished site in about a month. Have your words and photos ready? It can be as quick as a week.
Website packages
Choose the size of the build. Keep the same level of care.
The difference is scope—not whether your site gets to feel considered, colorful, and fully finished.

OFFER 03 · ONGOING
The Agency Membership
$297 a year
My Costco principle: I buy professional web tools at agency level, and members use them for one small annual fee. It covers hosting, premium agency tools, backups, and the ongoing updates that keep a modern website healthy.
Members also receive the $65-an-hour member rate for changes, additions, or new ideas instead of the standard $95. If you ever leave, your website is still yours—you are free to take it anywhere.
A popular do-it-yourself platform
About $348 a year—and you’re on your own.
The Agency Membership
$297 a year—and it comes with me.
Membership covers hosting, agency tool licenses, backups, and plug-in updates. It does not include monitoring, legal-page updates, rebuilding a site edited beyond restoration, your domain, or professional email. You purchase and own your domain. If email is hosted through my Hostinger account, I purchase and administer it, bill it separately, and you receive full mailbox access.
Honest Availability
I take three builds a week. That’s the whole calendar.
Not marketing scarcity — just the honest shape of a one-woman studio doing careful work. I’m usually booking about two weeks out, and prep begins as soon as you do, so waiting for a build slot never means waiting to make progress.
Currently booking approximately two weeks out.
Book a Free CallAbout Adriane
Hi, I’m Adriane.
I run Ready Set Online — and its sister brand, Paper & Progress — from Ohio, and I’ve been building websites for solopreneurs since 2019: therapists, professional organizers, an author, a photographer, a family storage business, and more than a few people finally launching the project they’d been circling for years.
I’m not an agency, and I’m not trying to become one. When you work with me, you work with me — on the calls, through the build, and on the day two years from now when you email “can we change this?” I’ve run businesses of my own, so you get honest answers about the business side, not just the buttons. My whole approach fits in one sentence: I build it with you watching, then hand you the keys and teach you to drive.
The Free Guide
Not ready to talk yet? Start with clarity.
The free Website Clarity Guide walks you through the thinking that has to happen before any website should be built: who you’re for, what you offer, and what you want visitors to do when they find you. Finish it and you’ll be ready for a great website — whoever ends up building it.

Before You Book
Questions people actually ask
You do. You purchase and own your domain — I’ll guide you through setting it up, because the keys to the kingdom belong on your keyring. If your professional email is hosted through my Hostinger account, I purchase and administer it there, bill it separately, and you receive full mailbox access. Your site, content, and images are yours, always.
It’s the whole reason this exists. You don’t need to learn the tools — you need to be able to swap a photo or fix a sentence without calling anyone, and your training video covers exactly that. Everything harder is what I’m for.
Most projects run about a month from our first call to your finished site. If your words and photos are ready, it can be as quick as a week. The honest variable is the prep — which is why we do it together instead of me waiting on you.
Then we get unstuck together — that’s what the calls are for. I’ll help you write, choose, and decide. Your project doesn’t stall because you froze at a blank page; the timeline just breathes a little.
Each package lists exactly what’s inside. Anything beyond it — extra pages, extra working time, new features later — bills at the member rate, and you’ll always know before anything is added. No mystery invoices.
Your $297 annual Agency Membership covers hosting and access to my agency web tools, and gives you the $65-an-hour member rate instead of $95. Site monitoring, legal-page updates, domains, professional email, and restoration-level rebuilds are separate. Signature clients also receive the First-Look Report at about ninety days, and when you’re ready to grow — newsletter, booking, more — I’m already in your corner.
They’re my specialties, but the real requirement is simpler: you’re a solopreneur with something worth putting into the world. I’ve built for an author, a photographer, a storage business, and a maker launching a passion project. If that’s you, book the call.
Online stores and large publications — I don’t build out five hundred products or posts. I keep my focus on service businesses and project launches, because doing one thing well is the entire reason my clients hire me.
Because focused websites work better. Six well-crafted pages cover a real business — home, about, services, a specialty, questions, contact — and people actually read them. If your business genuinely needs more, we add pages at the member rate. But most sites need better pages, not more of them.
Know someone who needs this?
I’d rather reward you than pay for ads. Refer a Signature Site and receive $300; refer a Starter Site and receive $75 — paid after your friend’s final payment clears. Warm introductions build this business, and they should be worth something to the person who makes them.
