iii. The team

The people you will work with.

A small team, based in Annapolis. You work with the same people from the first conversation to launch, and long after.

Michael Flynn with Rhona Schaefer and Vijay Kumar of Bay House Digital
Founder & Principal

Michael Flynn

Michael has spent his career where storytelling meets technology. He began as NBC4 Washington’s first digital journalist, appearing on MSNBC, TODAY and CNN, then led communications and new media for Meals on Wheels Association of America.

Today he leads AI adoption as a digital director at AARP. At Bay House Digital he brings both halves together: sites that look the part, and AI that handles the busywork behind them.

Often asked in Annapolis.

Ask us anything

How much does a website cost in Annapolis?

Our prices are published. A Refresh of an existing site starts at $7,500, a bespoke Signature Site at $12,500, and the Full Commission, a site with AI assistance behind it, at $25,000. Every project ends in a fixed-price proposal, so the number you sign is the number you pay.

Can we meet in person?

Yes. The studio is in Annapolis, so we meet clients downtown, in Eastport or anywhere around the Chesapeake. Clients elsewhere in the United States work with us by video.

Do you work outside Annapolis?

Yes. We build for businesses across Anne Arundel County, the Eastern Shore and Washington, DC, and for clients anywhere in the country.

How long does a new site take?

A Refresh takes two to three weeks, a Signature Site six to eight weeks, and a site with AI assistance ten to twelve weeks.

My business is in the Annapolis Historic District. Does that change the website?

Not the rules: the Historic Preservation Commission reviews changes to buildings, not websites. It changes the story. Shops, inns, restoration firms and architects in the district win work by showing they understand it, and we build the pages that show it.

Can I add AI assistance later?

Yes. Any site we build can take an assistant later, starting with a Week Review that shows which one would save you the most time.
