01Websites that
Websites that
do the work.
Not a brochure. A site that explains what you do, asks the right questions before someone gets in touch, books the call or takes the payment, and passes the details to the tools your team already uses. I plan it and direct it. A system I've built does the writing, the design and the build, forms and checkout included, and I check every piece before it goes live.

performance.
Speed comes from the whole setup: lean code, smaller images, fewer scripts and good hosting from DreamHost. I find what slows each page down, fix the right pieces and measure before and after with Core Web Vitals, Google’s measures of how fast a page loads and responds.
03CRMs &

Customer records, portals, registration platforms, dashboards and internal tools. I can configure existing software or build a custom application around how your team works.

Take a payment, manage a subscription or offer a payment plan. I set up billing with Stripe, the payment service, and connect your tools so information gets where it needs to go.

Get the site ready to be found, measure what customers do, and see which ads lead to business. I handle technical SEO (the setup search engines read), conversion tracking (which visits become calls, forms or sales), reporting and Google Ads management.

A few examples of the websites and working systems I've built. Different businesses, with different things to get right.
Junior Ravens
Junior Ravens · Volunteer project
Registration, payments
and email in one place.
A public website, registration, Stripe payment plans, records and fifteen automated emails in one platform the club owns. Built around the way the club actually works.

KetoFocus · Family business
A publishing site with
tools to keep it moving.
A rebuilt WordPress theme cut a recipe page from 594 KB to 147 KB, about a quarter of the data to download. AI agents help maintain 675 recipes, with a person reviewing every change before it goes live.

Liberty Creek · Client website
A clear website for
work that matters.
A custom site, designed from scratch and live in three weeks. A later speed pass took five pages to 99–100 out of 100 on Lighthouse, Google’s lab speed test, run for mobile.

Professional hosting.
A foundation I know well.
Built by me.
Hosted on DreamHost.
A fast website needs good code and good hosting. I trim the code, images and scripts, and set up DreamHost hosting to fit the project. Then we measure the result, from how fast the server answers to Core Web Vitals, Google’s measures of loading and response.
I’m DreamHost’s CMO; the hosting is DreamHost’s product and billed separately, and the work described here is my own.
04 / The person you work with
One person,
from the first call to the handover.
I'm the person you talk to and the person responsible for the work. I plan it, build it, check it and help you get it into use.
I've built websites and systems since 2008 and spent eight years running an agency for local businesses. Today I'm CMO at DreamHost. My independent projects put that marketing experience to work in the sites and systems I build.

Competing in 2026
It’s 2026.
Build your advantage.
Research, design, build and testing,
connected from the first idea.
The advantage comes from putting AI to work across your business: connecting what you know, the tools you use and the work you need to get done. I build the websites, software and agents that make those connections useful.
That same approach shapes how I deliver your project. Research, design, build and testing run through one connected AI system. I direct it, review the code and test the result myself, so you get my design judgment at every step.

05 / Working together
How a
project runs.
One conversation, one written plan, one person responsible from the first call to the handover.
One conversation.
You tell me what you have and what needs to change. I tell you whether it's a small fix, a full project, or something I need to look at before I can quote it. You hear back from me, not a form.
A fixed price, in writing.
The scope, the price, the review points and the timeline, in one document before any work starts. If the scope changes, the price changes first, in writing. No surprises on the invoice.
Built, tested, handed over.
You see the work at each review point. Before launch I test the paths that matter: the inquiry that has to arrive, the payment that has to clear. Then you get the accounts, the custom work and the instructions. You own it. After launch, questions come to me by email, not a help desk. If you choose ongoing care, the plan sets out the response window and how recovery works.

A few practical questions
Common questions
before a project.
Can you work with what I already have?
Yes. We start by looking at the site and tools you use. Sometimes the right answer is a connection or a repair. If something needs replacing, I'll explain why. When a new site replaces the old one, I keep the content worth keeping, map redirects and check the launch. When DreamHost hosting is part of the project, I handle the move before the domain switches over.
Can I hire you just for a website?
Yes. A website can be the whole job. The other services are there when you need them.
Can you make my existing website faster?
Yes. You can hire me specifically for website performance. I audit the current site and agree the changes to code, images, scripts and delivery. When hosting is part of the project, I pair those optimizations with the right DreamHost hosting and server setup. We compare before and after, using real visitor data where it exists to check Core Web Vitals, Google’s speed measures.
Do you build CRMs or use existing ones?
Either, depending on the job. If existing software fits, I'll help set it up and connect it. Custom tools make sense when there's a specific need worth building for.
Will AI be making decisions for my business?
We decide what the workflow can do and what needs review. Some tasks need ordinary automation; others benefit from AI. Customer communications, permissions and important decisions get clear rules before anything goes live.
What will I own?
The custom work covered by our agreement, with your business in control of its domain and service accounts. Third-party software stays subject to its own licenses and fees. You get the information needed for another provider to take over.
How long will it take?
That depends on the scope, my available start date, and what we need from you. The schedule and review points are agreed before work starts.
What happens after launch?
You can take the handover and run it yourself, or arrange ongoing care. We'll write down what is covered, the response times, and any recurring costs.
Will a rebuild affect my search traffic?
It can. I plan redirects so old links land on the right new page, check the important pages, and record today’s traffic so we can watch what changes. No one can guarantee rankings will stay the same.
What would you like
to work better?
Your website, your tools, or the work between them. Tell me what you have and what you want to change. I'll read it myself.
