Web design built for your customer.

Custom design for Oregon coast businesses. Mobile-first, fast, and shaped around the one thing your customer came to do.
Not a template. Not a builder. Yours.

Good web design is not decoration. It is the shortest path between a stranger on their phone and the thing they need from you: a booking, a quote, a phone call. I design every page around that path first, then make it look like it belongs to your business.

Every build starts with one question. What story does this site need to tell? For a charter captain that might be: here is the boat, here is the dock, book a trip. For a lodge it is a full visual narrative. I figure out which one fits, then design to it.

What's included

Mobile-first layout

Designed for the phone first, because that is where your customers actually are. It scales up to desktop, never the other way around.

Custom design

Drawn for your business, not pulled from a theme. Your colors, your photos, your voice. Nothing looks stamped from a template.

Built to convert

Clear calls to action, a phone number one tap away, and a path to the booking or the brief that does not make people think.

SEO foundations

Clean headings, real metadata, fast loads, and structured data baked in from the start so search engines understand the site.

Accessible by default

Keyboard navigation, real contrast, and semantic markup. It reads well for everyone and ranks better for it.

Yours to own

You own the code and the content. No platform lock-in, no monthly ransom to keep your own site online.

Why custom, and the proof

Every web shop says the same line now: we write code, not templates. Fair enough. It is also what the out-of-area agencies say on the identical page they publish for four hundred other towns. So do not take the claim. Take the numbers.

I audited 169 Coos County small-business websites with Google Lighthouse and Mozilla Observatory. Average mobile speed: 61/100. Not one scored both fast and secure. The three platforms most businesses rent from, WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix, averaged a D, an F, and a C. Custom code, the kind I write, averaged 94 on mobile with an A-plus security grade.

That gap is the whole opportunity. Most local sites are rented, not owned: slow, plugin-heavy, and breaking at 2 AM when something auto-updates. A fast, custom site does not just look better. It outranks the rented sites around it, and the phone rings.

And when something needs changing, you text the person who built it. Not a ticket queue. Not a call center. Me.

Questions

How long does a website take?

A Starter site is typically live in 3 to 7 business days. A Pro site with custom widgets runs 1 to 2 weeks. Bigger custom builds, 2 to 4 weeks. I work in days, not quarters.

How does the build actually go?

Short version: questionnaire, then a consult, then a signed scope and deposit, then I build, then it goes live. The full step-by-step is on the process page.

Do you design on WordPress or a builder?

No. I write the actual code. WordPress and builders are mass-produced software with plugins stacked on top: slower, plugin-dependent, and prone to breaking at 2 AM when something auto-updates. Custom code loads faster, ranks better, and stays secure.

What if I do not have photos or copy yet?

I do most of the lift. A short questionnaire gets us started, and I can shoot real photos of your business and draft the copy for you to edit. No stock photography unless you want it.

Will my site work on phones?

It is designed for phones first. On the Oregon coast most local searches happen on a phone over rural LTE, so sub-second mobile loads are the whole point, not an afterthought.
