Hey, I'm Dave.

I design websites, build them, and then work out how to get people to actually visit them. I've been doing that for 10+ years, mostly from Longview, Texas.

WordPress, WooCommerce, Vue, React and Laravel on the build side. Figma and Divi for design. Google Ads, Meta, SEO and GA4 to grow it.

A bit about me

I like the whole process: talking to people about what they need, sketching it, writing clean code, then watching the numbers to see if it worked. When I'm not building things I'm reading up on new tech, doing market research, or cheering on my alma maters.
