Web developer · 16 years
I build and fix websites and online stores for small businesses, and connect the tools behind them when it helps: tracking, simple automation and practical AI.
Serving Twentynine Palms, Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley and the wider Morongo Basin. Remote clients welcome.

Custom fortune cookies need custom messages, and most people don't know what to write. I developed the AI Cookie Creator feature, configured and trained its chatbot in Chatbase, and integrated it into the WordPress/WooCommerce store. Customers choose an occasion and a tone and get message ideas to use or adapt.
Also main developer, through launch, on sites for Helper Heroes, The Van Aken District, Hemaptics, jHUB Cleveland and more.
Who I help
Shops, restaurants, rentals, contractors, nonprofits and service businesses here in the basin. Maybe your site is out of date, hard to update, slow on a phone, or not bringing in calls. You want someone nearby who explains things in plain English and does what they say.
Much of my past work has been done remotely. If you're outside the area, we'll work over email and video calls just as easily.

What I do
I don't start with a platform. I start with the problem, then choose the technology that makes the most sense for the business.
You need a site that represents the business well and makes it easy to call, book or buy.
New sites, redesigns, landing pages and online stores on WordPress, WooCommerce or Shopify.
Websites & storesSomething's broken, or nobody is looking after the technical side.
Repairs, cleanups, speed and mobile fixes, hosting and domain issues, plus regular updates and backups on a set schedule.
Fixes & maintenanceThe business runs on spreadsheets, copy-and-paste and guesswork.
Analytics that show where customers come from, simple dashboards, automations between the tools you use, small custom apps, and AI features where they actually save time.
Tools, tracking & AIHow projects work
Use the short form or email me. Plain words are fine; no technical brief needed.
I'll ask a few questions and look at your current site or tools, by phone, video or email.
You get what's included, what isn't, the price and the timeline in writing. Nothing starts until you approve it.
I build it, test it on phones and desktops, launch it, and hand over your logins and simple notes on how to update it.
Questions
No. Tell me what's not working or what you want customers to be able to do. Choosing the right tool is my job, and sometimes the answer is a small fix rather than a new build.
Every project gets a written scope and quote before work starts, so you know the cost up front. Smaller fixes are billed by the hour, and I'll tell you the estimate first.
Not around the clock. Urgent security issues, like a hacked or down site, get priority. Other fixes and maintenance are scheduled, and I keep my workload to what I can do well. If you need someone on call 24/7, I'll be upfront that I'm not the right fit.
Yes. Your domain, hosting account and site are set up in your name, and you get the logins at handoff.
Yes. Remote clients are welcome, and much of my past work has been done remotely.
You don't need to know whether it's WordPress, Shopify, a dashboard or an automation. Describe what isn't working, or what you want to happen, in plain words.
