THE THINKING BEHIND THE DESIGN

Your next customer is comparing you.
Give them a reason to stop looking.

They may have three tabs open and a problem they need solved. I build your website around the three decisions that turn a curious visitor into someone ready to get in touch.

Homepage design for tobins decks and porches 01 · Headline 02 · Trust 03 · Contact

WATCH IT WORK · CLICK A NUMBER OR CARD TO EXPLORE

01   BE UNDERSTOOD

“They do exactly what I need.”

Clear headlines and useful service details help the right customer recognize you as the answer to their problem.

02   BUILD TRUST

“I feel good about these people.”

Your personality, your work, and real customer experiences give people reasons to feel confident about choosing you.

03   MAKE CONTACT

“I know what to do next.”

A clear invitation, a simple form, and an explanation of what happens next make reaching out feel easy.

Anyone can put a page together. I help give people a reason to choose you.

Why shouldn't I just use AI to build my own website?

You can. But a page on a screen is only the starting point.
An attractive website still has a job to do: help the right person understand your business, trust you, and feel ready to get in touch.

25 years of experience. Two decades with leading internet marketers.
I bring more than 25 years of direct-response experience to your website. For two decades, I’ve worked with million-dollar marketers. See the client stories. I also spent two years as creative director for a direct-sales company with $50 million in sales. I know how to shape the message, the offer, and the page around the next click, inquiry, or sale. Now I’m bringing that direct-sales experience to the small business community.

A website built to turn interest into action.
Your website can do far more than list services. I build a clear path through the page: catch the right person’s attention, explain how you help, answer their doubts, show reasons to trust you, and make the next step easy. Each section earns its place, with a natural flow from first impression to getting in touch.

Design that makes the message work harder.
The size of a headline. The space around a testimonial. The image that makes your business feel real. The rhythm between sections. The button people notice when they’re ready. I think through those details so the page feels like your business and is easy to follow—on a phone, too.

Custom built on WordPress. Made to grow with your business.
I build your website on WordPress, with the copy and design shaped around your business. You get an editable site where you can update your content, add pages and features, and move to another WordPress hosting provider if your needs change. Your website can grow with you.

You don’t have to become the copywriter, designer, and project manager.
You bring the business you know. I ask the questions, shape the copy, refine the design, review the details, and help carry it through to launch. You work directly with me, with clear feedback and decisions by email or text.

I use AI too. My experience directs the work.
Modern tools are part of my process. So are my judgment, personal attention, and responsibility for the finished website. You’re hiring the person who decides what belongs, what needs work, and when it’s ready.

Your customers need a reason to choose you. That’s what I build around.

Not only is Dave top of the list when it comes to design and copy, but he’s one of the friendliest and nicest people you’ll ever have the pleasure of working with.

I still have customers telling me everyday that they hired me because of my website. He’s made my job of selling roofs that much easier!

Don’t even think about it, pay this man and have him build your next website. It’ll change your business. His reputation speaks for itself.

I met Dave several years ago in a company that I co-owned, and he was the graphic artist and designer for my partners and I. And when I left the company a few years ago, I maintained a relationship with Dave, and he has done some incredible work for me over the last few years, working on my logos, my brand, my design.

He’s one of the best, if not the best, in the industry I’ve ever seen. His direct response copywriting, his graphic work, his creativity and his workmanship are second to none as well.

He has integrity, his prices are very, very fair, and he’s super prompt and on time. So I would definitely recommend that you hire Dave if you’re looking for a project designer, somebody that can make your project pop in the marketplace and help you bring it to life.

Dave Nayavich of Authority One Design holding two website designs

You'll work with me. And I'll get to know your business.

I'm Dave Nayavich, the person behind Authority One Design. I bring more than 25 years of direct-response experience to the way I write and build websites.

Before I think about the design, I want to understand what you do, who you want to reach, and why someone should choose you. That gives us something much stronger to build around than a list of services.

You don't need to arrive with polished copy or a technical plan. Bring what you know about your business. I'll help shape the message and guide the next steps.

We can handle most of the project by email and text, with clear feedback and decisions along the way.

Why shouldn't I just use AI to build my own website?

Ask away.
I keep this simple.

See real projects and client feedback →

What do I get for free?

A custom homepage design preview delivered through a demo link. You’ll see a proposed look, message, and layout for your business before deciding whether to hire me. It’s a preview of the direction, not a completed website. No payment or obligation. The estimated 3–5 business-day window begins when I receive your completed brief.

The 3–5 business-day window is an estimate, not a guaranteed deadline. If circumstances beyond our control affect the timing, I’ll keep you updated.

What if the preview isn’t what I had in mind?

Tell me what feels right and what doesn’t. That feedback helps us decide whether we’re a good fit and what a paid project would need. You’re free to pass. Requesting a preview does not commit you to buying a website.

Do I need copy, photos, or an existing website?

No finished copy or design plan is needed. If you have a website, share the link so I can review what’s there. If you’re starting fresh, share the basics in your brief. Logos and genuine business photos are helpful when available. I handle the copywriting and guide the visual direction.

What happens if I want to move forward?

We’ll confirm the scope, price, and agreement first. A 50% deposit starts the WordPress build; the remaining 50% is due after final review and before launch. You’ll work directly with me, mostly by email or text. I’ll handle the setup and guide you through anything I need from you.

How much will my website cost?

The One-Page Website is $1,295, the Business Website is $2,795, and the Website + Lead System is $3,995. Every package includes copywriting, mobile-friendly design, and on-page SEO setup. Need something different? I’ll quote the right scope before any paid work begins.

What about hosting and help after launch?

Managed WordPress hosting is separate from the website build, as are optional ongoing care and any third-party subscriptions your project needs. I use Flywheel and will confirm the hosting plan and recurring costs before you commit. Website care, SEO, and content services are available for sites I build.

See the possibilities.
Then decide.

You shouldn’t have to buy a website before you can picture it. Start with a free homepage preview, shaped around your business and the customers you want to reach.

Website packages start at $1,295.
Custom projects are welcome.

01   YOU SHARE →

A few details. A clear starting point.

Send the short request below. Then complete a simple brief with your website, services, and goals. Share as much detail as you like. You don’t need to write polished copy or plan the design.

02   I DESIGN →

Your business. A fresh perspective.

Once I receive your brief, I usually create your homepage preview within 3–5 business days. You’ll get a demo link to explore the look, message, and direction for your business.

The 3–5 business-day window is an estimate, not a guaranteed deadline. If circumstances beyond our control affect the timing, I’ll keep you updated.
