About Me
I enjoy turning ideas into polished, working interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My focus is on clean layouts, accessible components, and code that is easy to extend and understand. When needed, I’m comfortable jumping into documentation, debugging tricky issues, and shipping reliable features on a deadline.
Over the past decade I’ve worked with small, family‑owned businesses and understand the pressures of high overhead, limited staff, tight budgets, and scarce time. A well‑designed website helps address these challenges by automating customer interactions, streamlining operations, and serving as a 24/7 digital storefront that reduces the need for constant manual outreach.

Why Choose Custom?
For many small businesses a custom-built site is a better long-term choice than off-the-shelf builders (Squarespace, WordPress hosted plans, Shopify) because it gives you full ownership, better performance, and the flexibility to grow without plugin bloat or ongoing platform fees.
A custom site lets you tailor the user experience, integrate precisely with your services, and keep hosting costs low while improving SEO and reliability.
Key benefits
- Ownership & portability — exportable code and content
- Performance & SEO — lean pages, faster load times
- Flexible integrations — exactly the features you need
- Lower long-term costs — avoid recurring platform fees
- Security & maintainability — minimal dependencies and fewer plugins
