Built for the Trades

Websites that bring real customers to your door

I grew up in the trades — HVAC, electrical, plumbing. I know your business because I've been in your boots. Now I build websites and AI lead systems that keep your phone ringing.

What I Build

Everything your business needs to get found and get booked

Custom Websites

Professionally designed sites that look like a $5K agency build. Fast, mobile-first, optimized for search. Your business deserves better than a template.

AI Lead Capture

A smart chatbot on your site that answers customer questions, captures contact info, and books appointments — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Search & Lead Gen

Get found when people search for your services. Google optimization, local search ads, and a system that delivers qualified leads on repeat.

Who I Am

25 years of design. A lifetime in the trades.

I was rebuilding HVAC compressors at 14 and turning wrenches as a grease monkey at 16. I've flipped two homes and I know my way around electrical, plumbing, and ductwork. The trades aren't something I Googled — they're where I come from.

I also happen to be an award-winning designer. I've spent 25 years building websites and campaigns for brands like Ford, Dell, Wendy's, Sprint, Kellogg's, Sherwin-Williams, and Intel. I won a Webby Award for Dell. I created Wendy's social media presence. I've worked at agencies like Willoughby Design, Barkley, and VML — some of the best in the business.

Now I take everything I learned building for Fortune 500 companies and put it to work for trade businesses. You get big-brand quality at a price that makes sense — from someone who actually understands what you do.

Maggie's Barbershop

Designed a brand-forward website with integrated booking when Maggie went out on her own. The site drove so many new clients that she had to turn people away — the best problem a new business can have.
