Who I build for
Three kinds of clients, one standard of craft.
Small business
Shops, restaurants & local services
A site that works as hard as you do — clear hours, real photos, a way to book or order, and directions that actually get people through the door.
Sports & leagues
Teams, clubs & local leagues
Rosters, schedules, standings, and news — built simply enough that next season's team parent can take over updates without calling me first.
Community
Nonprofits, churches & civic groups
A straightforward site for a straightforward mission — events, giving, contact info, and nothing you don't need to maintain.
Capabilities
From brochure site to custom web app.
Most clients start with a site that simply works. When you outgrow it — online booking, a members area, live standings, an admin dashboard — I build the real thing, not a pile of plugins held together with tape.
Custom web applications
Booking systems, member portals, admin dashboards, and internal tools — designed around how you actually work.
Content you control
A headless CMS so you can change prices, post news, and swap photos yourself, without a support ticket.
Integrations that matter
Stripe payments, scheduling, email automation, league data feeds, and analytics — wired in properly.
Measured, not guessed
Accessibility, Core Web Vitals, and SEO checked before launch. Fast on a phone, on a bad connection, in a parking lot.

Live standings for a local league — a real Next.js server component.

How it works
Four steps, start to launch.
- 01
Consult
A short call about your business, your budget, and what the site actually needs to do for you. No jargon, no pressure.
- 02
Forge
I design and build in the open. You review real, working drafts along the way — not flat mockups you have to imagine into place.
- 03
Launch
The site goes live on your domain, tested on real devices, and I walk you through making simple updates yourself.
- 04
Temper
Steel gets tempered after it's forged. I stay available for changes, fixes, and the features you think of six months later.
Why Volund
A local designer, not a call center.
You work directly with the person building your site — not a rotating account manager, not an offshore queue, not a chatbot.
Direct communication
You talk to the person doing the work, from the first call to the final launch and every change after.
Fair, flat-rate pricing
You know the cost before work starts — no surprise invoices, no hourly guessing games.
Built on solid ground
Modern, fast, accessible sites on platforms that stay cheap to host and easy to maintain for years.
You own everything
The code, the domain, the content. No proprietary page builder holding your business hostage.
Packages
Simple packages, scoped to fit.
Every project is quoted after a quick consult. No two businesses need the same thing, so I don't pretend they do.

One well-built page — ideal for a small shop, a solo service business, or a simple team page.

Custom build
Something the packages don't cover?
Booking platforms, member portals, e-commerce, dashboards, integrations with the software you already use. Scoped and quoted per project.
