Website design for small businesses
Based in Palatka · Serving Northeast Florida, including Jacksonville
Websites that work.
Practical help with the technology behind them.
Hi, I’m Mike. I build and improve websites for small businesses across Northeast Florida. As a fellow business owner, I bring hands-on experience with online stores and the everyday systems behind the business.
Where to start
What needs
attention first?
01 · A website that works. ↗
New websites, redesigns and improvements.
02 · A store that needs attention. ↗
Shopify, Amazon and the work behind each order.
03 · Software that doesn’t work together. ↗
POS, QuickBooks, reporting and everyday workflows.
Start with your website
A website that represents
the business you’ve built.
A new website, a redesign or improvements to the site you already have. Clear messaging, thoughtful design and a straightforward way for customers to get in touch.
- New websites
- Redesigns
- Improvements to the site you already have
- Copy, service pages & search foundations
Ecommerce & Online Sales
Already have a store
that needs attention?
Practical help with Shopify, Amazon, product information and the work behind each order. Start with the store you already have.
Business Technology
Software that doesn’t
work well together?
Hands-on help with retail systems, QuickBooks connections, reporting and everyday workflows. Start with the task that’s taking too much work.
Experience behind the work
Conservation nonprofit · Established 1969
Friends of the Everglades / Website design & maintenance
A website for a mission
that matters.
Founded in 1969 by Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Friends of the Everglades works to protect and restore the Everglades. I built their website and continue to maintain it.
Longstanding client · Web & marketing
M-Clip / First-hand ecommerce experience
More than a project.
A long-term commitment.
A premium money clip business selling on Shopify and Amazon. I’ve handled all of its web and marketing work for the life of the business.
Retail business · Web & operations
Florida Keys Outfitters / Retail & business systems
Experience from
inside the business.
About six years running the day-to-day operation of an Islamorada fly shop: the website, email campaigns, Lightspeed and QuickBooks.
From one business owner to another
I know how frustrating it is when the register won’t cooperate, the website goes down or the software creates more work than it saves—especially when you’ve got a business to run. I’ve been on both sides: the owner who needs it working and the person figuring out how to fix it.
That experience changes the questions I ask—and the work I recommend.
What will this mean for your staff? Will it make the customer’s experience better? Who has to keep it working when the day gets busy? Those questions belong alongside the technical ones.
I bring real operating experience to your website, online sales and business technology. I help you work out what needs to change, choose a practical approach and carry out the work.
