About · Preston Winters

I'm Preston Winters.

6th generation Bandon, Oregon. Solo software shop. I build it, I stand behind it, I answer the phone.
I've owned small businesses. I know what it's like to drown in software you didn't choose.

The short version.

Sixth generation Bandon. My dad's fifth gen, his dad before him, all the way back. I grew up here. My three daughters are growing up here. The plan is to stay.

I'm self-taught on every stack I work in. Started with landscaping as a teenager and never stopped, I'm a licensed landscaping pro in Oregon. Picked up code somewhere along the way and didn't put it down. Now I build websites, apps, and AI tools for businesses on the Oregon coast. I do the design and the photography too. The landscaping work taught me how to show up on time, do the job right, and not make excuses. The same rules apply to software.

I've been building my own software for a while. StainSlayer is the one you can grab right now. A phone app that takes a picture of a stain and tells you how to get it out, live on the App Store and Google Play. A handful of others are in private beta: Baseline (political signal across a bunch of AI models at once), MyKonos (an AI companion with real memory), and ChopLight (motion based utility flashlight).

That same AI work runs under every build I do. I built my own memory engine on top of Claude and use it on every project, so I'm not relearning your business every time we talk. The notes stick. The decisions stick. The same person who took your first call writes your code.

Winters Code brought all of that home. I've owned small businesses. I know what it's like to drown in software you didn't choose. So I build the kind of tools I wish I'd had, for the kind of businesses I grew up around. Built to last, with somebody local on the other end of it.

How I work.

Plain rules. I keep them.

What I believe.

Four rules I won't bend.

  1. 01

    Speed matters.

    Days for sites, weeks for apps. Small businesses on the Oregon coast deserve tools that ship, not quarterly project plans.

  2. 02

    Quality is non-negotiable.

    Speed without quality is reputation death. ~95 Lighthouse average, security defaults, modern stack end to end.

  3. 03

    The code is custom.

    Not WordPress, not Wix, not a builder. The code under your site is the code I wrote for your site. Loads faster, ranks better, stays secure.

  4. 04

    Recurring relationships beat one-off projects.

    The person who built it is the person who maintains it. Help is just a text away.

Why Bandon.

My family has been on the south Oregon coast for six generations. Bandon is where I grew up, where I'm raising my daughters, where I'll be in ten years. The coast is full of family businesses that deserve good tools, and the nearest agency is usually in Portland or further. That's the gap I'm filling.

Bandon gets free in-person consults. I'll meet you at Warehouse Coffee or your shop. Coos and Curry counties get free 30-min video. The phone number stays the same year after year. If you've ever called a national agency and gotten a ticket number instead of an answer, you know exactly what I'm the opposite of.

I'm down the road. I pick up the phone.

Let's talk.

Free consult. No pitch deck. Honest take on what you have, a real number, and a quote on the spot if it's a fit.
