I'm Joey Barbush. I build fast, custom sites for small businesses, colleges, and individuals. And I power the workflow with HIPJOY, a cognitive operating system I designed myself. Your site gets the same care.
I'll build you a real one-page site in a week, photos, reviews, contact, map. $350 flat. No subscription. You own it forever.
Hosted free on GitHub Pages. Version controlled. No paid platform lock-in. Professors, TAs, student orgs. I speak your register.
Simple, clean, custom. $150 for a one-pager (sliding scale if things are tight. Just ask). I want you to look like you deserve to.
This is a toy, but it shows the idea. Your actual site would be pixel-perfect, branded to you, with your photos and reviews. Ask for a real mock in the contact form below.
The process is the difference. Nothing ships unscanned -
You don't need to understand any of this to hire me. But you should know: your website won't feel like it was cranked out by an assembly line, because it wasn't.
Real numbers, stated up front. No "call for quote." No scope creep. No subscriptions to me.
Because I don't use templates, I don't outsource, and I write the copy with you. A $30 Wix template is cheaper upfront but costs you $200/year forever and looks like everyone else. My sites pay for themselves on the first booked customer.
Because I'm an independent operator at 21, not a 10-person agency. My overhead is a laptop and coffee. I pass that savings to you. If you want a $5K agency engagement, I'm not your person.
I don't do e-commerce checkout (Shopify is better for that). I don't do anything that needs user login / accounts unless we scope that separately. I don't do SEO marketing retainers. I don't do logo design, I'll use what you have or recommend someone.
You do. Full source files, full domain ownership, full hosting account. You can fire me the day after launch and nothing breaks. That's the deal.
I built HIPJOY, a cognitive OS that routes decisions through 14 named agents. So yes. AI helps me think faster. But every line of code and every sentence of copy passes through me. I don't ship anything I didn't read.
Individual/student: ~5 days. Small business: ~7 days. Multi-page: ~2–3 weeks. If you need faster, ask. I sometimes have a same-week slot open.
That's normal. I'll send you 2–3 rough directions after our first conversation, you pick one, we go from there. You don't need a finished vision. Just a rough sense of what you do and who you serve.
My own site. Live. Fully static. $0/mo to run.
One of 14 linked from the main hub. Distinct identity, shared DNA.
Grid of 14 tiers. Supabase-backed signup forms. Shared CSS.
For dev audience. Three-audience hero, technical capabilities, shipped work.
I've been writing software since high school. I build full-stack, HTML, CSS, JS, React, Python, SQL. Whatever the job needs. Finishing up my associate's degree at Waubonsee Community College this year, where I also played golf on the team.
I use AI heavily, Claude Code, my own HIPJOY layer, Gemini. But I drive every decision and review every line before it ships. Custom-built, not template-applied.
