Services
Websites, built properly.
Most small businesses get handed a template and left to maintain it. I build sites the same way I build everything else here — designed for the work the site actually has to do, quick to load, usable on a phone, and yours to keep.
- Designed, not templated
- Type, color, and layout chosen for your business, not picked off a shelf.
- Fast and accessible
- Built to load quickly, work with a keyboard and a screen reader, and read properly on a phone.
- Yours to keep
- Your own domain and your own hosting account, set up in your name and handed over.
Two introductory projects — my time is free.
While I build a portfolio of client work, I’m taking on two projects at no charge for the design and build. You cover only what’s yours to keep — the domain, hosting, and anything else you choose to add — and I set those up in your name and hand them over.
The standard
Understand what is actually needed.
Care about the people affected.
Build something worth standing behind.
- Stewardship
- Build carefully, use resources responsibly, and take ownership of the result.
- Service
- Useful work begins with understanding the people affected by it.
- Honesty
- Represent the work, its progress, and its limitations truthfully.
- Durability
- Prefer thoughtful systems and lasting value over novelty for its own sake.
- Conviction
- Make decisions according to a defined standard rather than whatever is easiest.
The name
The name comes from home.
Evans General Co. is based in Townville, South Carolina. The name is informed by a life lived in a restored general-store building — a place historically associated with different people, needs, goods, stories, and kinds of useful work meeting beneath one roof.
Evans General Co. carries that organizing idea forward without claiming to be a continuation of the original business.
Evans General Co. is shaped by Christian faith and the belief that work should be carried out with honesty, stewardship, care for people, and responsibility for the result.
Founder
Founded by Jake Evans.
Jake Evans is a mechanical engineer, ministry leader, songwriter, and product builder from Townville, South Carolina.
