Web Designer & Developer

Hi, I'm Michael —
I build websites people love using

I'm a solo web designer and developer based in Salado, TX. I work directly with clients — no account managers, no hand-offs — just clean, intentional work delivered on time.

I've been designing and building websites professionally for 5+ years. I started as a freelancer taking small projects, and over time grew into working with startups, small businesses, agencies, and solo founders across the country.

When you work with me, you're talking directly to the person writing the code and making the design decisions. That means faster revisions, clearer communication, and a site that actually reflects what you need — not what a template decides for you.

I care about the details that most people don't notice until they're missing: load speed, typography rhythm, mobile spacing, and copy that doesn't sound like a robot wrote it.

"We'd been burned by an agency that charged $8k and delivered a WordPress site that looked like 2012. Michael rebuilt our entire marketing site in three weeks, was reachable on Slack every day, and actually explained what he was doing and why. The new site helped us close our Series A — investors noticed the polish immediately."

"I gave Michael a rough brief and a deadline. He came back with a design I genuinely hadn't imagined — way better than what I described. Our conversion rate went up noticeably in the first month."

"I knew nothing about websites and was nervous about the whole thing. Michael made it easy — explained everything in plain language and the end result looks more professional than any of my competitors."
