Five weeks. Two squads. One winner.
Phoenix, Arizona: a business owner who needs something from the web, and isn't sure what…
What do you actually need?
Every project starts as a conversation, and the conversation is free. Then we put the right team on it: sometimes that's mostly me, sometimes it's people I'd trust with my own work. If we're not the answer, I'll point you to who is.

For your business
Start with what you need
Some businesses need a hard look at the site they have, some need a new one, and some need something a website won't fix. We put together the team the job needs, and if the right person for it is someone else entirely, I'll tell you who.

Comes with the first talkCan customers find you?SnapshotBefore anything gets built, we talk. If customers need to find you online, I'll follow up with a free Online Visibility Snapshot: your site, Google listing, reviews and social next to the competitors nearby, on one page, walked through on a 30-minute call.
Yes, let's talk!

My own apps
Built because I wanted it
Each of these started as something I wanted to exist: a home for my gym's coach challenge, a roast for my fantasy league, a receipt for doing someone a favor. Each one I designed, built, host and still run. The same thing I'd do for you.
You're welcome. Here's the receipt.

Meanwhile, 15 years earlier…
Built for launch day!
For 15 years I built online promotions: instant wins, code entries, sweepstakes and games. They launch on a date that doesn't move, take a traffic spike, follow the legal rules to the letter, and disappear when the campaign ends.
The deadline
Launch dates don't move
Promotions go live when the campaign says so. I've spent 15 years shipping to a fixed date.
The craft
Pixel-level CSS on real stacks
Most recently I styled .NET MVC builds: Razor views, CSS architecture, image and font assets, and JS-driven flows wired through config.
The fine print
Rules are part of the build
Age gates for alcohol brands, official rules, eligibility checks: built in from the first day, not bolted on before launch.

From the editor's desk
Comics, ink & code!
About that yellow: it comes from the covers of the month he was born.
I collect comics, more Venom and Spider-Man than any other character, plus the figures that go with them. It started with Venom: Lethal Protector #1 in December 1992. Since then I've tracked down most of the issues from my birth month, December 1978, and nearly every one of those covers is loud, flat yellow. That's where this site's yellow comes from.
Two full sleeves. The first session was a line on the inside of my forearms that most comic fans will recognize. It took a lot more sessions to finish the rest.
Read the credits on any of those issues and you'll see it took a writer, an artist, a letterer and an editor to make one. I can do a lot of it myself, but some of my best work has come from collaborating, and that's how I run things now. The heroes in those books had day jobs, too; the helping was never the paid part. So the first conversation is free, and if my work is part of the answer, we talk about that after.
The rest of the time I'm in Phoenix, building things for businesses and for myself, and reading the next issue.
