Websites for businesses, artists, and everyone in between

My name is Ben Lurye.

I’m an actor who had to discover what else I could do during the pandemic while my career was on hold. I learned how to <code> and design, and now I build beautiful, easy-to-manage websites (and I’m back to performing, too).

Web Design

All you need to provide is the content--I'll do the rest. And, I'll teach you side-by-side how to manage everything yourself; no coding required.

Web Re-Design

Is your site stuck in 2009? I'll bring your look and layout up to date with the modern web.

Hosting

Let's talk about how I can reduce your yearly expenses by moving your existing site to my low-cost, high-speed, secure, reliable hosting.*

*Wordpress and fully self-coded sites only.

SEO

Are you using SEO best practices? I'll make sure you're ranking as high as you can.

Website Management

Happy with your site...but don't enjoy maintaining and editing it (or, your current webmaster takes forever to get back to you)? I'm quick and reliable.

Working with Ben and HNWD was incredible. He was able to bring our ideas to life! I was most impressed with the attention to detail and the level of care he displayed in handing off the web management duties. We love our website and would recommend him to anyone looking for a webmaster.

We are so happy with the gorgeous website Ben designed for us. It is the perfect representation of our branding: it's playful and vintage, but with modern touches that make it easy to navigate, and super functional. It's everything that I hoped it would be!

Ben built a beautiful and functional website for our TEDx event. His attention to detail and his ability to iterate on a theme really helped draw attention to our event, boosted ticket sales, and advanced our brand reputation.

Ben is so creative and communicative. He was very swift to get my site up and running and built something I can be proud to share. He’s so easy to work with and makes the process stress free and fun!

Ben’s talented, responsible, and efficient. He communicates well and works quickly, and is a team player. If he doesn’t understand, he knows which questions to ask. I’ve seen more than one client of his finish their project “on a high note”, due to Ben going Above & Beyond. 5 unequivocal stars!

FAQ

What are your rates?

Price transparency is extremely important to me and you will know pricing very early in the process as we discuss your project. I proudly provide discounted rates to artists and students.

I have almost no media...can I have a website?

That’s ok! We’ll look at what you have and I’ll find a way to show you in the best light, even if all you’ve got is your headshot. We can also build out areas to add media to once it exists.

How will I edit my site once it's built?

All of my sites are end-user friendly. At handover, I will schedule a time to Zoom with you; there, you’ll share your screen with me as I guide you through the steps to edit everything you’ll need to; no coding required. I can also provide written documentation if requested.

If you want me to be your webmaster, I am happy to discuss my rates for that service as well.
