Fast sites. Real code. No fluff.
I build fast, custom websites for small businesses, then host them, keep them secure, and make your updates for you. One developer, one yearly bill, and the site is yours to keep.

ONE
DEVELOPER
Allen Taylor · Richland, IN
My love of computers started young. The internet was new, I was hooked, and I haven't stopped building things on it since.
I cut my teeth in the military, maintaining my unit's website. Back then "inline CSS" was just CSS, and frameworks didn't exist yet. From there I built single and multi-page sites, moved into WordPress and Joomla — and eventually faced some hard truths about CMS platforms.
So I went head-first into actually learning to code. HTML, CSS, JavaScript — and now Django/Python. I'm currently building a CRM platform for fire departments. The flexibility, control, and security you get from real code beats any drag-and-drop builder, every single time.

HOW I
HELP
01
A new website
A site that tells people what you do, where you are, and how to reach you. Send me what you have and I'll turn it into something that loads fast and looks right on every phone.
02
A better version of your current site
If your site is slow, outdated, or breaks whenever someone touches it, I'll rebuild it. Same business, same content, none of the headaches.
03
Hosting, domain, and updates
I host the site, handle the domain, and make your changes for you. If you ever leave, your site and domain come with you. No lock-in, no surprises.
04 — WHAT YOU GET
WHAT YOU
GET
// speed
Fast
People leave slow sites before they finish loading. Yours loads in under a second, so visitors stay long enough to call.
// security
Safe
There's no login page to break into and no add-ons to keep patched, which removes the most common ways small business sites get hacked.
// ownership
Yours
You own the site. SSL, domain privacy, and off-site backups are all included. If you ever move to another host, the site goes with you.
// tools I use, depending on what fits

06 — FAQ
COMMON
QUESTIONS
What do you recommend for a standard business website?
Hand-coded, every time. A standard business site just needs to convey information clearly and load fast — that's exactly what custom code does best. If a developer tries to sell you WordPress as a "custom coded website," walk away.
Do you ever use WordPress or page builders?
Absolutely — when they're the right tool. E-commerce stores, course platforms, blogs with frequent author updates, and sales funnels are all good fits for platforms. But for a brochure site that just needs to look great and load fast? Hand-coded wins.
How long does a project take?
A one-page site usually takes 1–2 weeks once I have your content and assets. Multi-page sites take 3–4 weeks. The biggest variable is how quickly we can finalize your content — the code itself is the fast part.
What's included in hosting?
SSL certificate, domain privacy, off-site backups, and 99.9% uptime hosting on premium servers. All standard, no extra fees. If you ever leave, your domain transfers cleanly with no holdup.
What if I want to update the site myself?
For most small business sites, content changes once or twice a year — and I handle those for you, included. If you need to update content frequently (like a blog), I'll build it on a CMS that fits your workflow.
Do you work with clients outside of Indiana?
Yes. I work with clients all over the country and have for years. Most communication happens over email and video calls — geography hasn't been a factor in a long time.
