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.

Two projects that are live today.

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.

Two colleagues high-fiving over a finished project
  • 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.
