Independent Web Developer – Portland, OR
Available for new projects
I stay out of sight.
Your website doesn’t.
I build fast, polished websites and web apps so your business gets noticed. Not your developer.
Working with small businesses, startups, nonprofits, and agencies that need a reliable dev partner behind the scenes.
Services
Production websites and web apps, built to last.
Modern stack, clean code, and a structured CMS so your team can run the site without me.
Web Design & Build
A custom, responsive site designed, developed, and deployed to production. Built for speed, accessibility, and SEO.
Content Management
A structured CMS so you can edit products, case studies, and copy directly — no code, no developer in the loop.
E-Commerce
Storefronts and headless commerce with payments, inventory, and a checkout built to convert.
Hosting & Maintenance
Hosting, backups, dependency updates, uptime monitoring, and fixes on an ongoing plan.

FAQ
Common questions.
What does a website cost?
Most projects start around $2.5k and scale with scope. You get a flat, itemized quote before any work begins.
How long does it take?
A typical site runs 3-5 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and content readiness. Fixed deadlines can be accommodated.
Can I update the site myself?
Yes. Sites ship with a customized CMS for editing products, posts, and case studies directly. No code required.
I already have a site. Can you take it over?
Yes. I can migrate and host it for you completely, or work within your existing codebase by the hour. Whichever fits the project.
Do you only work with Portland businesses?
No. I’m based in Portland, OR and work with clients remotely anywhere in the US.
