For accepted projects we build a free working prototype first. If you like it, we launch it with no development fee and look after it for a monthly fee. If not, you walk away and owe nothing.
Every project is handled A to Z: design, build, setup, and deployment are all part of the work, not extra line items.

You react to something real before you spend anything, and you can stop after any step.
Send a short message through the contact form, or email Quan directly. Your existing site, LinkedIn, and a few plain sentences about your idea are enough. There is no long discovery process.
Quan reads every message himself and replies with a time for one short call. He takes one call a day, so he keeps time to build and teach.
We complete the agreed scope, normally with up to 2 structured revision rounds before launch. There is no development fee. After launch, a monthly fee covers hosting, maintenance, support and occasional changes, and we stay on as your tech partner for as long as it is useful to you.
On the Simple Website Plan the steps are the same, with the same free prototypes and revision rounds. The difference comes after launch: a flat $15 a month covers hosting and maintenance, but no changes to the site.
Two plans. Neither has a development fee, so the only bill is the monthly fee.
For a small, simple website
$15 USD a month, plus your own domain
The lowest-risk way to get a decent website online.
Paid monthly through PayPal. Leave anytime.

Priced to your project
Based on the scope, complexity and support you need, and confirmed after the prototype review, never before.
Paid monthly or quarterly, depending on your situation.
Tell Us About Your IdeaAI now lets us build a simple website far faster than before, and the servers we already run for Skill-Wanderer have room to spare. Together, that lets us offer a decent website to people who could not afford one until now. Like all our client work, it also helps fund free education.
Your domain is not included on either plan. It is registered in your name and you pay for it yourself, so it always stays yours.
The goal is for clients to stay because the service is useful, not because leaving is technically impossible.
Sensitive production systems may use read-only access rather than full administrative access. One incorrect production change can break the application or expose data, so that restriction is about safety, not lock-in.
We would rather earn a small monthly fee by keeping your project healthy than send a big bill up front. That income also funds free education.
The big upfront barrier disappears, and you see working software before you decide.
We are paid to keep things working, which keeps us invested long after launch.
Client work funds free learning paths and mentorship, and real projects create real skills.
We don't accept every project. We would rather say so early than take on work we can't do well.
No. For accepted projects there is no development fee and the first prototype is free, but the monthly fee is a paid service. On the Care Plan it covers hosting, maintenance, support and occasional changes, billed monthly or quarterly. On the Simple Website Plan it covers hosting and maintenance, at $15 a month.
There is no hidden one. Instead of a big upfront bill, we earn a monthly fee by keeping your project running and supported. That income also funds free education, so we are motivated to keep you happy for the long run.
AI now lets us build a simple website far faster than before, and the servers we already run for Skill-Wanderer have room to spare. The Simple Website Plan also keeps the scope small: a site of a few pages, and after launch only hosting and maintenance, with no changes. That keeps the price low enough for people who could not afford a decent website until now. Before launch you still get the same free prototypes and revision rounds as on the Care Plan.
Yes. We explain everything in plain language, and you react to a working prototype instead of reading technical documents. Our clients include a speaker, a calligrapher, and a coach, not engineers.
Quan Nguyen, our founder, designs your project, builds the critical parts and reviews every change. Guild learners may help, always under his review.
No. AI helps us move faster, but Quan designs the architecture and reviews every change, so the project stays maintainable instead of falling apart after launch.
No. Projects are accepted selectively. Applying, or receiving a direct LinkedIn or email invitation, does not guarantee acceptance.
No. The first prototype is a required part of the process for accepted projects, on both plans. A second prototype is optional, and only used when the direction changes significantly.
On the Care Plan, after the first prototype is reviewed and we discuss the real project scope. It is never quoted before there is something real to look at. The Simple Website Plan has one flat price: $15 a month, plus your own domain.
On the Care Plan, monthly or quarterly, depending on your situation. We agree this with you when we confirm the price. The Simple Website Plan is paid monthly through PayPal.
A small site with a limited scope, such as a few pages that explain who you are, what you offer and how to reach you. If you need more, such as online payments, booking, user accounts or AI tools, the Care Plan is the right fit. We confirm which plan suits your project on the call.
Before launch, yes: up to 2 revision rounds, the same as on the Care Plan. After launch, no. The plan then covers hosting and maintenance: we keep your site online, secure and up to date, and fix anything that stops working. Changes such as new text, photos or prices are not included, so your site stays as it was launched. If you need changes later, we agree the scope and price with you first, or we can talk about moving your site to the Care Plan.
Yes, on the Care Plan. Once we look after your project, we can also help with the tech around it: business email on your own domain, setting up the tools and accounts your business runs on, looking into tools, vendors and competitors before you spend, and plain-language advice on where AI really helps. It is added as an extra service with the price agreed first, or paid for with unused credit on your plan. We only take on this work for projects we build and look after, so it is not offered on its own. On the Simple Website Plan, we can talk about moving your site to the Care Plan.
Yes, anytime. You own your domain, you can see the code and configuration, and where it applies you get read-only access to the server. You can move the project yourself, or hire another provider to migrate it.
No. Client work covers our running costs but not our contributors, so the mission is still struggling. Even so, after a lot of thought, we decided not to accept donations, because growing through real client projects like yours keeps us practical and up to date. Our Help the Mission page explains why, and lists other ways to help.

Applying does not guarantee acceptance. Projects are taken on selectively.
