Custom digital work.
Built to last.
I don't sell packages. I solve problems. Whether you need a high-converting website, a custom e-commerce build, a tool that automates something your team does manually, or a strategy to get found online - I'll figure out what you actually need and build it right.
Custom Website Design & Development
Your website is often the first real impression a prospect forms of your business. I build sites that hold up to that - custom-designed around your brand, your audience, and what you actually need visitors to do when they arrive.
No templates. No page builders. No shortcuts that cause problems six months later. Everything is built to be fast, maintainable, and yours.
I work with a wide range of businesses across North Central Washington and beyond - from professional service firms and local contractors to regional brands ready to level up their online presence. If your current site doesn't reflect the quality of what you actually do, that's a problem worth fixing.
Businesses that have outgrown their current site, are launching something new, or are tired of a website that doesn't represent them well. Contractors, trades, professional services, and local businesses are a particularly good fit - I understand the local market and have built for it for 25 years.
- Full redesigns for established businesses ready to compete online
- New builds for contractors, trades, professional services, and consultants
- WordPress custom themes built from scratch - no bloated page builders
- Performance overhauls for slow, outdated, or mobile-unfriendly sites
- Landing pages and campaign sites built around specific conversion goals
E-Commerce That Works
I've built and maintained e-commerce stores across BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Shopify - and I'm a certified BigCommerce partner. More importantly, I know how to go beyond what the platform gives you out of the box.
If your store has custom pricing logic, complex product configurations, or a checkout flow that needs to work a specific way, that's exactly the kind of problem I'm built for.
Product businesses that need more than a standard theme can offer, brands migrating from one platform to another, and stores that have grown past what their current setup can handle.
- BigCommerce custom storefronts with Stencil CLI
- WooCommerce builds with custom product types and pricing rules
- Platform migrations - BigCommerce, WooCommerce, and Shopify
- Custom product pages, navigation systems, and filtering
- Checkout and cart customizations beyond standard plugin capability
Business Automation, Custom Web Apps & Technology Strategy
Not every business problem is a website problem. Sometimes your team is doing manually what software should handle - generating documents, tracking service requests, managing client records, routing approvals. I build the custom tools that fix that.
And because I've spent 25 years solving these problems with real systems, I can also help you think through the technology decisions that come before the build.
Before you spend money building something, it's worth asking the right questions: What should be custom-built? What's better handled by existing software? Where does AI genuinely fit your operation - and where does the hype outrun the reality? I offer direct technology assessments for businesses that want an experienced, independent perspective before committing to a direction. No vendor relationships, no upsells. Just a straight answer about what makes sense for your specific situation.
Businesses with repetitive internal processes that eat team time, owners who know something could be automated but aren't sure what or how, and clients who want a technical partner to think through options before committing to a direction.
- Customer-facing document portals and service tracking dashboards
- Automated document generation and delivery systems
- Internal tools for managing jobs, clients, or service records
- Custom form and workflow systems that replace manual email chains
- Technology assessments - what to build, what to buy, what to skip
- Practical AI guidance: where it can genuinely reduce workload in your business
Local Search & AI Visibility
How people find businesses online is changing faster right now than at any point in the last decade. Google's search results look different than they did a year ago. AI-powered answer engines - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews - are answering questions directly, without sending users to websites at all. If your business isn't showing up in those answers, you're invisible to a growing share of your potential customers.
I help North Central Washington businesses get found - in traditional search results, in Google's local pack, and increasingly in AI-generated answers. This isn't set-it-and-forget-it work. The landscape is shifting quickly, and staying visible means staying current. I track what's changing and translate it into practical recommendations for your specific business.
Local businesses that rely on being found online - contractors, retailers, service providers, and professional firms in Wenatchee, Chelan County, Douglas County, and the surrounding region. Also businesses that have good websites but aren't generating the leads they should be.
- Local SEO - Google Business Profile optimization, local citation building, on-page signals
- Technical SEO - site structure, page speed, schema markup, mobile performance
- AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) - structured content and schema that helps AI tools surface your business
- Ongoing monitoring and recommendations as search behavior evolves
- Content strategy for businesses that want to build long-term search authority
Site Care & Digital Retainer
Most developers disappear after launch. I don't. I host and maintain what I build - and I've structured two options to fit different levels of need.
Managed WordPress hosting on reliable, performance-tuned servers. Covers hosting, security monitoring, WordPress core and plugin updates, regular backups, and uptime monitoring. One point of contact. No ticket queues. If something breaks, you call me.
Everything in Site Care, plus dedicated monthly development time, priority response, quarterly strategy check-ins, and basic SEO monitoring. Designed for businesses that want an ongoing technical partner - not just someone to keep the lights on.
Most of my clients have been with me for 8 years or more. That's not an accident. It's what happens when the person who built your system is also the one keeping it running.
Businesses that want their website handled - not managed by committee. Owners who've been burned by developers or agencies that go silent after launch. Clients who want to grow their digital presence over time, not just maintain it.
- Managed WordPress hosting - fast, secure, maintained
- WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates
- Security monitoring, malware scanning, firewall protection
- Automated daily backups with verified restore capability
- Uptime monitoring and performance checks
- Direct access - changes, questions, and fixes without a ticket system
- Digital Retainer adds: monthly development hours, priority response, quarterly strategy, SEO monitoring
