Websites & software
A fast, modern website or app that looks the part and actually works — designed, built, and launched by one person who sweats the details.

Real websites, real software — built to pay off.
I'm Dusty. I build modern websites and software for local businesses, then keep them running and earning. I ship my own products too — so you get someone who knows exactly what “done and working” looks like.

What I do
Three ways I help.
Most jobs are a blend. Tell me where your business is stuck and I'll propose the shape — plain scope, no jargon, no surprises.
Grow02
The money side
Pricing, positioning, and getting found on Google — the calls that decide whether the work pays. I make them for my own products; I'll make them with you.

A builder on standby
A standing line to someone who's actually shipped — for the stretches you need to move fast, without the cost of a full-time hire.

The care plan
Launch is the start — not the finish.
Most “web guys” build it and vanish. I keep your site fast, secure, and up to date for one flat monthly fee — hosting, updates, backups, and a real person to text when you need a change. Your site stays an asset instead of slowly rotting.

Proof I ship
I don't pitch from theory.
Real products I built and still run. I ship under my own name — so I know what it takes to ship yours right.

The care plan runs about $99/mo — roughly what one lost customer costs you. It keeps the site earning that back, every month.
Ballpark figures to set expectations — every project gets a real, flat quote before we start.

Questions?

Straight answers — the same ones I'd give you across a coffee table.
Most small-business sites land around $2,500–$6,000 depending on how many pages and features you need. You get a flat quote before anything starts — no hourly billing, no creep. Add the care plan and it's a small monthly fee on top.
A focused site is usually 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch. Because it's just me, there's no hand-off telephone game — decisions happen fast.
Not at all — that's the point of hiring me. You tell me about your business in plain English; I handle the tech, the hosting, the updates, all of it. You never touch a dashboard unless you want to.
Yes — that's the care plan. Hosting, security, backups, monitoring, and monthly changes for one flat fee. Something breaks at 9pm, you text me. It stays fast and current instead of slowly rotting.
Completely. The site, the domain, the accounts — all in your name. No lock-in. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, you can, and I'll help you move it.
Based in the greater Rockford, Illinois area and happy to meet in person. I also work with businesses anywhere — most of it happens over a call and email either way.
