Custom websites for small businesses, built and cared for by one person.
Muntin Digital is a fully-remote studio for restaurants, local businesses, and growing brands. You work with me directly — not a dashboard, not a project manager — and I design, build, and maintain your site end-to-end.
There are two ways to get a website.
Neither works for most small businesses.
DIY builders trade quality for convenience. Traditional agencies are priced for enterprises and treat small clients as an afterthought. Muntin is the third option — real engineering, real relationships, built for the way small businesses actually run.
DIY Builders
- Template-limited, generic by design
- Slower on mobile, worse for SEO
- You do the work — and the troubleshooting
- Help center articles instead of a human
Traditional Agencies
- Priced for enterprise, not main street
- Project managers, contractors, handoffs
- Hourly retainers after launch
- You're a small fish in their pipeline
Muntin Digital
- Custom-coded, fast, mobile-first
- One developer-manager, end-to-end
- Monthly care plan — a real person, every time
- You own your site. No lock-in, ever.
Three ways to build. One relationship.
Pick the build that fits today. Every project ends with a launch — and the option to stay on a Care Plan so it keeps getting better, not worse.
Starter
A custom 3–6 page site, launched in 2–3 weeks. Perfect for owners who need to stop apologizing for their website.
- Custom design, mobile-first
- SEO-ready on day one
- Contact & newsletter forms
- Google Analytics & search console
- Domain & launch support
Signature
Everything in Starter, plus a lightweight CMS, integrations, and polish. The package most restaurants and local brands need.
- Editable CMS for menus, posts, hours
- Reservations, ordering & booking integrations
- Copy polish & photo curation
- Launch plan & training session
- 30 days post-launch support
Commerce
For boutique brands outgrowing a drag-and-drop store. Shopify or headless, built around your actual products and flow.
- Custom Shopify or headless build
- Product data, variants, shipping rules
- Email capture & abandoned cart
- Analytics & conversion tracking
- 60 days post-launch support
Four steps.
No mystery, no middle layer.
Conversation
A 20-minute call. I ask about your business, your goals, and your frustrations with your current site. You ask anything.
Proposal
Within 48 hours, a written plan. Scope, timeline, price, and exactly what we'll launch — in plain English.
Build
I design and build. You see progress weekly. Feedback happens in shared previews, not in meetings you don't have time for.
Launch & care
We launch together. If you stay on a Care Plan, I keep your site fast, secure, and up to date — indefinitely.
Launching a site is easy.
Keeping it good is the hard part.
Most small business sites rot because nobody owns them after launch. A Care Plan means someone always does — the same person who built it.
Essentials
- Fast, monitored hosting
- Daily backups
- Security & dependency updates
- Uptime alerts
- Email support (48h)
Standard Care
- Everything in Essentials
- Up to 2 hours of content edits / month
- Quarterly performance review
- Priority support (same-day)
- Analytics summary each month
Concierge
- Everything in Standard Care
- Up to 5 hours of content & feature work
- Monthly strategy call
- SEO & local search tuning
- Direct phone & text access
A muntin is the slender strip that holds a window together.
Small, quiet, and the reason the whole thing stands up.
I'm Don. I started Muntin Digital because I kept watching small business owners get stuck between two bad options — DIY builders that trade quality for convenience, and agencies priced for enterprises that treat them as an afterthought.
I build custom websites end-to-end, one client at a time, and then I stick around. That's the whole idea. No ticket queues, no handoffs, no dashboards you have to learn. Just a real person holding the pieces together.

Straight answers.
Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?
You can — and for some businesses, it's fine. But when your template starts limiting how customers find you, how fast pages load, or how your brand feels, you're stuck. Muntin gives you a real, custom-coded site without the DIY ceiling.
Isn't a real developer expensive?
Agencies are. A single developer-manager isn't. Muntin builds on modern tools that cut the cost of custom work without cutting quality — starting at $2.5k for a launch-ready site.
What happens after launch?
Every client is offered a Care Plan. For a flat monthly fee you get hosting, backups, monitoring, security updates, content edits, and priority response — all from the same person who built your site.
Do I own my site?
Yes, completely. Your code, your domain, your content. No proprietary lock-in, no multi-year contracts. If we ever part ways, you keep everything.
How long does a build take?
Starter builds launch in 2–3 weeks. Signature builds, 4–6 weeks. Commerce builds, 6–10. I only take on as many projects as I can fully commit to — usually two active builds at a time.
Can you handle something more complex later?
Yes. Muntin starts with marketing sites and restaurant builds, but the stack scales up to e-commerce, integrations, and more complex applications as you grow. You don't outgrow your web partner six months in.
Tell me about your business. I'll tell you what your site could do.
A 20-minute call, no pitch deck, no pressure. You'll leave with a clear sense of what's possible and what it would cost — whether you hire me or not.
