Mauricio FernandezFounder & engineer · Sparta, NJThe person behind the work
I’m Mauricio, the founder and engineer behind Minuswires. I scope the work, design it with you, write the code, and pick up the phone when you call — from strategy through launch. When a project needs a specialist, I bring one in and stay accountable for the result.
When the site launches it is yours — the domain, the hosting, the code and the content, all in your name.

E-Commerce / Custom
Hosting & care quoted separately
For businesses that need more than a website.
Custom portals and internal tools from $9,500 — see the tier. Timelines depend on scope, content readiness, and feedback.
What goes into the cost?Your customers, your current website, and what you need next. We turn that conversation into a scope and fixed quote.
We agree the structure and visual direction, then work through your feedback before the full build.
The site is built, checked on desktop and mobile, and connected to the forms and services in your scope.
Your care plan covers hosting and maintenance. We agree any ongoing content, search, and reporting work separately.
Website Launch starts at $499 + $45/mo for up to five pages. Business Websites are $1,500 + $45/mo, Growth Websites are $3,500 + $99/mo, and e-commerce or custom projects start at $6,000 with care quoted separately. The build fee and ongoing care are separate line items. We agree the scope and price before work begins.
Yes. You work directly with Mauricio Fernandez, the founder and engineer based in Sparta, NJ. You can discuss the design, ask a technical question, and get an explanation of the work from the person building your site.
A Website Launch can be ready in about a week once your content is available. Business Websites typically take 2–3 weeks, Growth Websites 4–6 weeks, and e-commerce or custom systems 6–10 weeks. We agree a schedule around the scope, content, feedback, and integrations your project needs.
The foundation includes readable page structure, page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, and accurate business information for search engines. More extensive content, local SEO, and reporting depend on the agreed plan. We explain what is included and measure the work; rankings and mentions in AI answers cannot be guaranteed.
Once the project balance is paid, the website code, content, and domain are yours. We provide source access and handover information. Hosting and care are billed monthly; if you change providers, you can take your website with you.
Yes. Send the URL and tell us what is getting in the way: an outdated design, slow pages, difficult updates, or too few enquiries. We will review the current site and explain whether a focused improvement or a larger rebuild makes sense.
