Sites that load before you blink
- Personal sites, portfolios and blogs
- Small business sites that need to look sharp and stay put
- One-page sites that do one job well
- WordPress sites: new builds, cleanups, or a move to something lighter
Web design & builds
Work with me.
By day I'm a systems engineer. Evenings and weekends I build websites, mostly for people who care how things look and whether they'll still work in three years. It's a one-person shop, so the person you email is the person writing the code.
Yours, and easy to live with
- A fast site: static when that fits, WordPress when you really need it
- A simple way to change your own words and photos
- Your domain and your code stay in your name. If we ever part ways, you leave with a full copy.
- Backups, plus cheap, boring, reliable hosting
Short and straightforward
- You write a few lines about what you have and what you want.
- We talk it through. I work from a checklist so nothing important slips.
- I build it on a staging copy you can poke at, and I fix what bugs you.
- It goes live, and I show you how to update it. The whole path is in from kickoff to launch.
Some things I've made
- This notebook, top to bottom: 454 notes, the novels and a songbook, all plain HTML
- Kaybl, one cable-TV guide laid out for a phone, a laptop and a living-room TV
- Fine Use, a terminal-style design system sketched from scratch
- Terminal UI Components, a pure CSS kit for pages that look like a terminal
- Browser Profile Icons, a small tool with its own project site
- WeatherStar 4000, the '90s Weather Channel on a Raspberry Pi
No budget brackets and no questionnaire before you're allowed to talk to me. A few lines is plenty, and I'll write back myself.
