my work
my approach to web development
While many developers rely on templates or page builders, I hand-code every website from scratch. No shortcuts, no drag-and-drop tools, just clean, custom code that performs exactly as intended.
why custom development matters
Templates and website builders might seem convenient, but they come with hidden costs: slow loading times, limited customization, and responsive design that breaks on certain devices. When you invest in custom development, you get a website built specifically for your business needs-not adapted from someone else's template.
mobile-first always
I don't just make websites "mobile friendly"-I build them mobile-first. Every line of code is written with your mobile users in mind, then enhanced for desktop. The result? Websites that work flawlessly whether your customers are browsing on their phone during lunch or their laptop at home.
performance that drives results
Speed matters. I optimize every image, minify every file, and structure every page for lightning-fast loading. Your visitors won't wait around for slow websites, and search engines reward fast ones with better rankings.
the process
From discovery to launch, I keep you involved without overwhelming you with technical jargon. You'll get regular updates, see your website take shape, and understand exactly what you're getting-a professional digital presence that works as hard as you do.
