03 · Process & AI
Four steps from first call to launch, with frontier AI models doing the heavy lifting and a human making every call.
Step 1
A conversation about your business, your customers, and what the site needs to accomplish. You get a plain-language plan and a fixed quote.
Step 2
I design directly around your content, not a template. You see the direction early and we adjust before anything is built.
Step 3
Hand-written code, tested on real devices, tuned for speed and search. You own 100% of it when we are done.
Step 4
A guaranteed launch date, then optional hosting and care so the site stays fast, secure, and up to date.

Direction, taste & the final call
Me Human, Pasadena
AI drafts, I decide. Everything ships human-reviewed.
04 · Clients
In their own words.
I needed a website that could handle multiple pages and a blog for my writing. They built exactly that, and it came out looking sharp and professional. The whole process was smooth, and I was genuinely impressed with the quality of the final product.
They built us a custom storefront that connects to our Shopify backend, and it works perfectly. The site looks great, loads fast, and I use it to run my business every single day. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
As a nutritionist, I needed a site that felt warm and professional at the same time. They nailed it. My clients can easily find what they need, and I've gotten so many compliments on the design. It really represents my brand well.
05 · About
Born and raised in Pasadena. I build websites the way they used to be built, by a person who cares, with tools that did not exist two years ago.
Template sites all look the same because they all start from the same file. I start from your business. Hand-written code keeps the sites fast and fully yours, and directing frontier AI models keeps a one-person operation moving at the pace of a team. You always work directly with me, from first call to launch.
06 · FAQ
