The backwards business model
I do the homework
I research your business like a customer would — before you've spent a dime or an hour.
I build the real thing
Your actual site, working, on a private link. On my own time, at my own risk.
You judge it
Love it: one flat price, you own everything. Don't: it comes down, you owe nothing.
You never pay for something you haven't already seen working.
- ✓One-time price — no monthly platform fee
- ✓You own the site, code, domain, and analytics
- ✓You edit every word yourself at /admin
Four businesses. Four different websites.
Invented names, real code. Each one is a full design direction with its signature feature working, in its own style — scroll through them like you're flipping my portfolio, because you are.

The person behind it
I'm Dylan — I design and build websites in Kalamazoo, one business at a time. I work the way a good local tradesperson does: I look at the job before I quote it, I do the work like my name is on it (it is), and I'd rather show you the finished thing than talk you into it.
- ✓Local — I'll walk through your site with you at your counter
- ✓Every site designed from a blank page for your business
- ✓Plain answers about price, timeline, and what you're getting
Tell me about your business.
That's genuinely all it takes. If it's a fit, the next thing you'll see is your own site — built, working, on a private link — and then we'll talk. If it's not for you, you've lost five minutes.
