Work
Some of the businesses and tools I’ve built
Contractors, manufacturers, churches, accountants, and free tools for restaurants, trades and homeowners. Here’s what a few of them needed:
AI Search Report Card
Restaurant Owner Tools
Trade Owner HQ
Sales Email Tools
Akron Home Costs
Outdoor Survivalist Trainer
Road Trip Weather
Kids Learning Arcade
Credible Theories
Kennedy Industries
Plant managers come looking for one part or one repair. I sorted pumps, valves, and repairs so they go straight to what they need.
Choice 1 Restoration
Someone with a leaking roof needs the phone number fast. I put a tap-to-call button at the top of every page.
Repair My Appliance Ohio
When a washer quits, people want help today. The phone number and the towns they cover sit right up front.
Projects
Click around real sites
Sample sites for your kind of business, and live sites and tools people use today.
Restaurant website design
People check your menu, hours, and whether they can get a table, usually on their phone, before they pick where to eat. I put your real menu right on the page instead of a PDF, mark the vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, and let guests book a table in a few taps.

Plumber and HVAC website design
When a pipe bursts, people want a number to tap and proof you serve their street. I keep a call button on every screen, list the towns you serve, and show a ballpark price so they call you first.

Hair salon website design
Clients want to book with their favorite stylist without calling while your hands are full. I set up online booking where they pick their stylist, plus a clear price list and gift cards they can buy any time.

Coffee shop website and online store
If you sell beans or merch online, buying has to be easy and your stock has to be right. I build product pages, a simple checkout, subscriptions for regulars, and clear labels for sold out, on sale, and pre-order.

Dental office website design
New patients want to know if you take their insurance and how to get in. I add an insurance checker, a new-patient request form, and answers to the questions your front desk hears every day.

Corporate website design
A bigger company has customers, partners, and job seekers all looking for different things. I give each one their own path: shipment tracking, a locations map, a careers page, and a direct line to sales.

Custom built for your business, never a template. Up to 5 pages, made to work well on all devices, live in about a week.
$99 down, then $50 a month
Same website. No interest, paid off in 8 months.
from $50 a month
Hosting, daily backups, your site watched around the clock, and one small change each month. $50 a month on a 3-year plan.
Or tap the one that sounds like your situation to see how I’d handle it.
The fix
A dated site can make people think you’re closed.
When a site looks old, visitors wonder if you’re still in business and move on. I’d keep what’s working and fix what isn’t.
- A design that fits your business, not a stock template
- Easy to read and use on all devices
- Everything you have now comes with you, so people who find you on Google today still will
- Simple for you to update after launch
The fix
Let’s make it easy for Google to recommend you.
When someone nearby searches for what you do and finds a competitor, it’s usually because Google isn’t sure what you offer or where. That’s fixable.
- Clean up your Google Business Profile: categories, hours, service area, photos
- Give each service its own page, in the words your customers use
- Fix the behind-the-scenes issues that hold good pages back
- Send you a short monthly report with real numbers from Google
The fix
Your site should load fast and stay up.
A slow site sends people back to Google. Often the answer is better hosting and regular care, not a new website.
- Fast, managed hosting
- Daily backups kept for 30 days
- Updates and security handled for you
- A real person to call whenever you need help
The fix
Make changes yourself, free, any time.
You shouldn’t have to pay me every time you want to update your site. I’ll show you how, at your pace.
If you’d rather not, I’m here.
- One-on-one training, in person or remote
- Simple written steps you keep
- Or send me the changes any time
- Training for your whole team if they need it
The fix
A simple tool can replace the spreadsheet juggling.
When work lives in email chains and copy-paste, things get missed and hours disappear. A small app built around how you work can give that time back.
- Client portals, booking, and job tracking
- Set up the way your team already works
- Works on all devices
- Hosted, supported, and taught to your staff
The fix
I’ll come out and fix it.
Printers, Wi-Fi, new computers, software installs. I come to you anywhere in Summit County, fix it, and show you what I did.
- Printer and scanner setup
- Wi-Fi and network fixes
- New computer setup and file transfer
- Remote help when a visit isn’t needed
