CMS + Web Application Development for Growing Organizations
Powerful and modern web systems that can grow with you. Built on Laravel, the application framework trusted by over 1.5 million sites in production worldwide.
What I Build
When your organization's needs go beyond content management into custom logic, complex integrations, or tools your staff and members depend on daily, Laravel is the right foundation.
- Custom web applications and member portals
- Content-managed sites using Statamic as the CMS layer
- Drupal and WordPress migrations to Laravel + Statamic
- Partner portals, workflow tools, and booking integrations
- API and third-party system connections
25 Years. Architecture First.
I've been building for the web long enough to know what makes a build last.
I bring a disciplined approach that sets projects up for long-term success. Every engagement starts with a clear picture of what we're building and why, before a line of code is written. That foundation sets you up for long-term success on a flexible platform that grows with you.
What I specialize in
- Information architecture and system design
- Translating complex organizational requirements into functional, maintainable systems
- Platform selection based on where your organization is and where it is going
- Drupal and WordPress migrations where the upgrade cost has outpaced the value
I work with a small number of clients at a time. You get consistent engagement from someone who knows your system deeply.
How I Work
We map out what we're building before we build it. That clarity prevents scope creep, costly surprises, and decisions you'll regret at the worst possible time.
I work from agreed specifications with a formal change order process. Projects don't drift, and budgets don't balloon.
AI-assisted processes get clients to a working first draft in days, not weeks. Every meeting produces visible progress.
Budget burn is visible. Timelines are honest. You always know where things stand.
The Platform: Laravel + Statamic
Laravel is an application framework, not just a CMS platform. That distinction matters when your organization's ambitions include custom tools and integrations as well as content pages. When content management is part of the picture, Statamic sits cleanly on top: a CMS built for editors, with the features other platforms need plugins to cover.
Organizations that build on Laravel and Statamic gain flexibility and functionality without sacrificing ease of use or maintainability.
