I'm Ben.

With over 20 years experience developing web sites (and running a web design firm), I have proven skills in both design and development of effective, functional websites.

From WordPress-based e-commerce, to hand coded custom web applications, I work with my clients to develop solutions that drive goals and increase revenue.

Prior to my web design career I was a graphic designer, and still assist many of my clients with numerous design projects for print and offline use.

I've been told I can also take a decent photograph .

from planning to launch

There are websites, and there are websites that work. The planning stage is an essential part of any project, and separates websites that look fine but do nothing, and those that work to drive your bottom line.

Planning

Before work can begin, I will meet with you, in person, or via Zoom/Skype/Facetime to get to know you, your business, and your goals for your site.

Design

Once the goals have been set, and the plan laid out, visual design can begin tying into your existing branding for a cohesive message throughout.

Build

Next comes the functionality, be it an e-commerce platform, customer services tools, or a custom application specific to your business.

essential additions

There's more to taking your business online than just building a website. Speed matters, email addresses using your domain matter, and in a world of hackers, security matters.

Hosting

World class, blazing fast website hosting with 4-nines uptime (99.99%) ensures your site is available instantly, 24 hours a day.

Domain Management

Your domain is your address on the internet. I assist with registration and ongoing management of DNS records.

Website Security

Over 30,000 websites are hacked daily.
I have over 15 years experience in website and server security hardening to keep your business safe and secure.

Email

Enterprise level email with 25gb storage, cloud backups and security. At small business rates.
