Website Development

A Freelance St. Louis Web Developer Who's Also an Expert Designer & Marketer

Since 1997, I’ve developed more than 120 websites of nearly every type: online stores, lead generation sites, publications, portals, job boards, content management systems, and customer management tools. I’ve worked with B2B and B2C companies of all shapes and sizes and in a wide range of industries. The depth of my experience combined with uncommon creative, technical, and communications skills that other developers don’t usually possess means lower cost to you and a stronger return on investment.

What You Get

  • Custom Website Design

    Your website design will be tailored to the needs and preferences of your audience. It will feature a fresh, modern look-and-feel with a sophisticated layout, engaging color choices, rich imagery, and unique fonts. If you need a complete brand identity created from scratch, I can help.

  • Website Programming & Coding

    Your site will be built with the latest web programming languages, techniques, and standards. It will be user-friendly, reliable, fast-loading, and safe from hacking thanks to a built-in firewall.

  • Mobile-Optimized Site

    A mobile-optimized site is one built with “responsive” web design techniques that adapt your site to fit any screen, whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, laptop or a desktop computer. With more than half of website visitors using a mobile device, a mobile site is now a necessity.

  • Content Management System

    It’s your site, so you should be able to update it by yourself if you want without having to wait for an outside vendor to make a simple change. Your site will be built on the popular WordPress content management system that powers more than one-third of all websites in existence today.

  • Search Engine Optimization

    If your site doesn’t appear on the first page the search results, you’re business is essentially invisible online. The time to optimize a site for Google and Bing is before a single line of code has been written and before the site has been designed, not after the fact.

  • Conversion Focus

    A conversion-focused site is one built strategically around your marketing goals. Your website functionality, calls to action, buttons, product pages, and contact forms should do everything possible to convert a website visitor into a customer. Surprisingly few web developers build their sites with conversion in mind. But without doing so, you can’t be assured that your website will actually lead to business.

Why Choose Me?

  • Value: When you hire me, you get four pros for the price of one: a designer, developer, copywriter, and a marketing strategist.
  • Creativity: All creative design is included; not many developers are good at design, so they must outsource creative design, which takes more money and more time.
  • Built-in SEO: Search engine optimization fundamentals are included in my sites. SEO is most effective when it’s built-into a site at the time of development.
  • Affordability: My prices are surprisingly reasonable, thanks to low overhead, centralized workflow, efficiency, and speed.
  • Dedication: I view myself more as a business partner than an outside vendor. I care about your success and hope to earn business from you and your referrals in the future.
  • Professionalism: I’m an old-school gentleman with a strong work ethic and high standards of professionalism who adheres to the golden rule.
