Design & Development

End-to-end website work for real clients — from understanding what they actually need, to designing something that fits their brand, to deploying and handing off a polished, live site they can rely on.

What I Do

Website Work for Real Clients

Building websites for clients is a different challenge than building your own. Every project starts with listening — understanding the client's business, what's broken about what they have, what they wish it did, and what they're trying to communicate to their customers.

From that brief, I design and build a custom site: no templates, no builders. Hand-written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — responsive across every device, fast-loading, and built to be easy to maintain. Then I handle hosting, DNS, domain setup, and deployment so the client can focus on their business.

  • Client intake: understanding goals, brand, and audience before writing a line of code
  • Custom design that matches the client's identity, not a generic template
  • Fully responsive — every layout tested on mobile, tablet, and desktop
  • Deployment, domain registration, DNS configuration, and HTTPS setup
  • Handoff with documentation the client can actually use

Process

How a Project Works

Every client engagement follows the same disciplined process — from first conversation to launch day.

01
Discovery & Brief
I start by understanding the business: what the client does, who their customers are, what they hate about their current site, and what success looks like. No assumptions.
02
Design Direction
Before writing code, I establish visual direction — color palette, typography, tone, and layout structure. The client signs off on the direction before a single div is written.
03
Build
Custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — built from scratch for the client's specific needs. Responsive layouts, clean code, and optimized assets throughout.
04
Review & Revise
The client reviews the build. Feedback is incorporated in focused revision rounds — keeping scope clear while making sure the result genuinely fits their vision.
05
Hosting & Deployment
I handle everything from domain registration and DNS configuration to GitHub Pages setup, HTTPS, and performance checks. The client does not need to touch any of it.
06
Handoff & Support
After launch, I provide clear documentation and a walkthrough so the client understands what they own. Ongoing support available for updates, edits, and additions.

Real Estate Redesign Client Work Live Site
The Brief
The client came in with an older website that no longer reflected the quality of their business. It was outdated visually, not mobile-friendly, and doing nothing to convert visitors into inquiries. The ask: rebuild it from scratch with a clean, professional look that would actually earn trust from buyers and sellers.
The Work
Held an intake session to understand the client's brand, target customers, and goals for the site
Designed a modern, trust-forward layout centered on listings, team credibility, and clear contact CTAs
Built the full site in hand-written HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no page builder, no template
Ensured full responsiveness across all screen sizes — primary traffic is mobile
Optimized load performance: compressed assets, minimal dependencies, fast TTFB
Managed domain setup, DNS configuration, GitHub Pages hosting, and HTTPS certificate
Provided a walkthrough and handoff documentation after launch
Deliverables
Full site redesign Mobile-first layout Custom CSS design Domain setup DNS config HTTPS GitHub Pages hosting Client handoff
Result
A professional, fast-loading real estate site that reflects the quality of the client's service. The old site was replaced entirely — new layout, new visual identity, properly deployed and live at their existing domain.

Why It Works

Client-first thinkingEvery decision starts with what the client's customers need to see, not what looks impressive in a portfolio.
No bloatHand-written code means nothing unnecessary ships. Faster sites, smaller footprint, easier to maintain.
End-to-end ownershipI handle design, code, hosting, and DNS. The client gets a finished product — not a half-built handoff.
