Fast, reliable web development for small business sites.
A good-looking site that loads slowly or breaks on a phone loses customers. I build each site as clean, fast pages, and make sure the parts that matter, like contact and booking, actually work.
What’s included in web development
The build is where design turns into something that loads quickly, works everywhere and can be measured.
- Hand-built, lightweight pages without heavy page-builder code
- Image optimization: modern formats, correct sizes and lazy-loading below the fold
- Working contact, booking and quote flows, tested before launch
- Secure setup: your domain connected with HTTPS turned on
- Analytics and conversion tracking, so you can see calls, bookings and form submissions
- Tested on real screen sizes from small phones to large desktops
- Technical SEO foundations: sitemap, robots file, canonical URLs and clean addresses
How I build
I build sites as fast, simple pages and host them on a fast global network. There's no pile of plugins to patch and no bloated page builder slowing things down, which helps both visitors and search rankings.
Forms and booking tools are connected and tested before launch: I submit them myself, check the notifications arrive and make sure they work on a phone. Analytics is set up so launch day is the start of useful data, not a guess.
One tradeoff to know about: because the pages are hand-built rather than run through a content-management dashboard, changes are made by me instead of by you clicking around. For most small businesses that's a feature, but if you need to edit pages yourself every week, tell me on the consultation call and we'll find the right setup.
I’m based in Salt Lake City and work with small businesses and trades locally and nationwide. See websites for trades or Salt Lake City web design and SEO.
When you need development help
- Your site is slow, especially on a phone.
- Forms or booking don't work reliably.
- Your current site is built on a heavy template or too many plugins.
- You're moving to a new domain or host.
- You want tracking in place so you can see what the site does.
Web development questions
Can I edit the site myself?
The sites are hand-built, so updates are handled by me rather than through a dashboard. If you need self-service editing, let's talk about it on the consultation call.
Where is the site hosted?
On a fast, secure global hosting platform, with HTTPS turned on. I handle the setup and your domain connection.
Will I own my website?
Yes. You own your domain and your content, and I'll be clear about how hosting works before we start.
Can you add online booking?
Yes. I can connect the scheduling tool you already use, or recommend one that fits how your business works.
