Four coworkers laughing together around a laptop

Web & app development · Austin, Texas

Custom websites and software for Austin businesses, built by one person you can actually call.

I'm Henry. I design, build, and host sites and web apps for local businesses, then I keep running them after launch. You talk to me at every step, not an account manager or a support queue.

Why work with a person instead of a platform

Site builders are fine for a brochure. Most businesses need more than that.

Wix, Squarespace, and their cousins are good at one thing: getting a page online fast. They're bad at the things that bring in customers: a booking flow that matches how you sell, pages that load instantly on a phone, and a tool your competitors don't have.

Designed for your business, not a templateLayout, copy, and features built around what you sell and who buys it.
Fast and search-friendlyHand-written pages with no bloat. Google rewards it, and so do visitors on phones.
Real tools when you need themQuote builders, booking flows, client portals, dashboards, and email capture that feeds your list.
You own the code and the domainNothing is locked inside a platform. If we part ways, you keep everything.
Same person after launchUpdates within a day, monitoring around the clock, and my direct number for when something's urgent.

How it works

Straightforward, start to finish.

A conversation

30 minutes about your business and what the site should do for you. No pitch deck, no obligation.

A written plan

Scope, timeline, and a fixed price on one page. Small jobs are a text message.

Build in the open

You watch it come together on a private preview link and steer as we go. Most sites take two to four weeks.

Launch and stay

Live on your domain, keys handed over, and I stay on for hosting, updates, and what comes next.

On price. Every quote is fixed before work starts, and hosting with ongoing updates is a flat monthly amount. If you're comparing against a site builder, ask me for the honest side-by-side over a year. Sometimes the builder wins, and I'll say so.

Contact

Tell me what you're working on.

A new site, a rebuild, an idea for an app, or a mess someone else left behind. I'll tell you honestly what it takes and what it costs.
