Your Website Is Your Digital Storefront
You've probably heard that before. And while your first impression could also be your social media or Google reviews, your website is still where you get to pull people in or push them away. Let's make sure it's the former.
Iowa-Based Custom Web Design Solutions
Your priorities are my priorities.
Whether you need an especially unique design, a simpler site that's easy to use, or something with special features and third-party integrations, I've got you covered. I work with WordPress, Webflow, Framer, or custom HTML/CSS/React — whatever makes the most sense for your project.
Based in Dubuque, I serve businesses across Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and beyond. You'll work directly with me from start to finish — no getting passed around to different teams or waiting days for a response.
Taking Care of All Your Must-Haves
Some website features are optional. These aren't. I prioritize the following on every single project:
Responsive Design
Mobile-friendly on every device
SEO Optimized
Built to rank from day one
Fast Loading
Optimized for speed & performance
Secure & Accessible
WCAG compliant color contrast
Great UX
Intuitive navigation & user flow
CMS Training
You can update it yourself post-launch
These fundamentals are non-negotiable. Without them, you're basically launching a website with flat tires. I make sure you start with a solid foundation, then we build from there.
Custom Development Meets User Flexibility
Here's a problem I've seen before: you pay for a beautiful custom website, but then you're stuck paying a developer every time you want to add a new page or change a layout. That's frustrating and expensive.
I build component-based websites that give you the best of both worlds. Your site looks unique and professional, but you can reuse design elements and create new pages without calling me every time.
Think of it like having a toolbox of pre-designed components that you can mix and match. Need a new service page? Use the existing components. Want to rearrange content? Go for it. You'll get training on how to use your CMS, so you're never stuck.
Web Design Projects Informed by Your Specific Needs
I follow a similar process for most projects, but the actual work is completely based on what you need. You'll be in the loop every step of the way.
Project Planning
We start with discovery to understand your goals, audience, and requirements. I'll map out the project scope, timeline, and deliverables.
Design & Development
I design and build your site using modern best practices. You'll see progress along the way and have opportunities to provide feedback.
Testing & Launch
Before going live, we test everything thoroughly. You'll get training on managing your site, then we launch and monitor performance.
Serving Businesses Across the Midwest & Beyond
While I'm based in Dubuque, Iowa, I work with clients throughout the Midwest and across the country. Local businesses in Asbury, Dyersville, Galena, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Davenport, and the Quad Cities area get the benefit of in-person meetings when needed.
But distance doesn't matter much these days. I've built websites for clients in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, and beyond. Whether you're down the street or across the country, you'll get the same level of service and attention.
Ongoing Hosting & Support
You've probably worked with vendors who ghost you after launch. I haven't disappeared in over a decade of doing this, and I'm not about to start now.
You can always reach out with questions, and I'll actually respond. If you know you'll have regular questions beyond the first month or two, you might want a hosting and support plan.
These plans include regular security updates, free site cleanup if you ever get hacked (rare, but it happens), and a direct line to me for questions and concerns. No phone trees, no ticket systems that disappear into the void.
