Custom designs, custom code
I help startups and small businesses launch online
No Wordpress or page builders. No overused templates. I build fully custom, hand-coded websites that stand out from the masses.

Why site builders suck
Most DIY site builders are simple blogging platforms masquerading as custom solutions.
Customization
The biggest drawback is that these platforms are highly difficult or even impossible to customize to your exact needs. You can only use their pre-made themes, their layouts, their features and functions, etc. It's hard to add your own business needs on top of that.
Even with WordPress, which is pretty customizable, most people end up with a big bunch of plug-ins to solve every tiny problem, and create a giant, unmaintainable website that can break at any minor software update.
Bloat and Clutter
All these page builders fill your site with a ton of clutter and bloated code. Most of it is just completely useless.
This bloat code only slows your website down and hurts your performance.
If we instead build a custom-coded website, we have ZERO wasted code. That allows us to easily have a much faster website. No one likes to wait 10s for a page to load.
Maintenance
And when you consider maintenance, custom-coded websites are so much easier to maintain. A clean solution with zero clutter, built specifically for you. Instead of a giant PHP codebase someone built in 2004 to serve basically everyone and their grandma's needs?
These DIY solutions spread your code out into different auto-generated files, and it becomes a headache to track down where some style or function is coming from.
Why me
Why choose me over someone else?
Your next question might be, "Ok I get that a custom website has far more benefits, but why should I hire you specifically?"
I build from zero. No cookie-cutter templates.
Most developers just download a pre-made HTML template, customize it a bit, and deliver that as a "website". Platforms like Fiverr are full of those developers, selling websites for $50 or $100. The only way they sustain those low prices is by delivering the same cookie-cutter templates to all their customers.
In fact, you won't have to look far to find a ton of horror stories about hiring cheap developers. No offense to anyone, but you just can't deliver a quality product at scale for such a low price. So they obviously have to cut corners somewhere.
User Experience
How many developers even think about the user experience? Maybe something as simple as reducing the number of clicks in a task, to make it easier and quicker for your end user? Or making progress visible so they're not left wondering why nothing is happening after they pressed some button.
Speed & Performance
I've worked on platforms with tens of thousands of daily users, more than 100K+ lines of code, and complex architectures. I have a ton of experience making websites perform faster, smoother and better.

I build truly custom websites
- Most developers use pre-made templates with little customization. I don't. It's terrible for your brand.
- I build custom websites that match your brand's vibe. Your audience will instantly know it's you.
- No plugins to update. No third-party apps to manage. No wrestling with your editor to get some custom feature working. Just one website that just works.

I'm here for you, every step of the way.
Regular Updates
I'll send you regular updates, a couple every week.
This is your website, and your input is the most valuable. Unlike many other agencies, I always involve you in the development process.
I regularly send several updates about your project each week.
Educating
I teach you about my design/development process and the decisions I make for your website, so you see the logic behind it.
I also write on my blog for those of you who want to learn even more.
Real-time progress
See your website come together in real time. See my progress in real time as I develop your site, and point out any changes you'd like me to make.
Don't have a server ready? No problem. I've got a bunch of servers to temporarily host your website while we develop it and prepare everything.
You'll never be left in the dark thinking, "what is my developer even doing right now?".
