Website Proposal
Prepared for Hospice of Ukiah
After years as a full-time caregiver, your mission is deeply personal to me. This proposal reflects a special Preferred Pricing for Hospice created in partnership and support of your work.
How I Build Websites with AI
I'm an educator who uses AI as a tool and equips others to do the same. This AI-assisted, human-directed approach allows me to build high-quality websites quickly and affordably. I focus on your strategic needs while leveraging AI for efficient code generation. This provides an easy option for independent management if you ever want it: training your team to use AI to manage the site in-house, no tech expertise or coding required.
Website Rebuild - What's Included
A modern, responsive site with clear paths for accessing your free hospice care services, making a donation, bequeathing an estate, or becoming a volunteer. Your content will be moved over with light tidy-up, and the rebuild also includes: basic SEO and analytics; recreation of all existing functionalities; deployment on Vercel; basic website security; and a collaborative design process guided by your feedback with up to 3 revision rounds.
Annual Maintenance
Content management and reasonable site changes are included in your annual maintenance subscription, completed within 5 business days of notification. Rush service available for urgent needs.
Custom integrations, builds, or other advanced changes will be scoped and priced independently. For certain features (example: creating an online newsletter with the capability to email it to clients), you'll choose between simpler implementation options included within your subscription and more advanced options that would be priced separately—we'll always discuss clearly and I'll provide all options transparently.
AI Web Management Training
Apprenticeship-style training over several weeks, teaching your team to confidently manage and update the website using AI assistance.

AI Services Overview
Prepared for Hospice of Ukiah
Special Launch Offer: A $500 Credit Toward Your AI Empowerment
As a thank you for becoming a foundational partner, your Year-1 Website Bundle includes a complimentary $500 credit for my AI Training & Consulting services.
This is a one-time offer to help you and your team take the next step. You can apply this credit toward any of my AI services, billed at Hospice's Preferred Pricing rate: $80/hour. This credit is valid for one year from our project start date and is my investment in your long-term success.
An Educator's Approach to AI
I'm an educator first. With over a decade of experience guiding people through complex and overwhelming systems and technologies, my focus is on relieving anxiety and building your confidence while you learn. I'm here to teach you how to master the tools you need so you can get back to the human-centered work that truly matters.
Reclaim by Design™ –– Keeping You in the Driver's Seat
My coaching goes beyond technical skills. The fundamental goal of my Reclaim by Design™ framework is to ensure that humans, not AI, stay in the driver's seat during all AI engagements.
Using this technology effectively is a new mental discipline. My coaching goes beyond technical skills to teach the mindset and habits required to direct the AI with focus, challenge its outputs with critical thinking, and guide it with your values. The result is not just greater efficiency, but the lasting confidence that you are using technology on your own terms.
AI Training & Consulting
We will outsource the busywork to AI and optimize your workflows, freeing your team to focus on what humans do best: your mission, your creativity, and your service to the community. AI Consulting and Training services are customized for each client's needs. Common services include:
- AI-Powered Content Creation Training: Learn to generate newsletters, social media, and grant proposals in a fraction of the time.
- Ethical AI Use Training: Learn best practices for handling sensitive information and using AI responsibly.
- Workflow Automation: Automate key administrative tasks to free up staff time.
- Custom Chatbot Development: Build a simple chatbot to answer common questions on your website.
| Client Type | Hourly Rate | Estimated Fee* 2-Hour AI Training | AI Consulting (Automations, Chatbots, etc.) |

| Base Rate | $160/hour | $800 | Billed Hourly |
| Mendo Locals | $120/hour | $600 | Billed Hourly |
| Hospice (Preferred) | $80/hour | $400 | Billed Hourly |
*This example shows a typical 2-hour "Intro to AI" training session. The total price reflects approximately 5 billable hours (consultation, customized session preparation, 2-hour delivery, and follow-up support). Your Preferred rate keeps this affordable whenever you're ready.
