Custom Website Development

Hand-built sites in Next.js and React. No page builders, no bloated themes.

In short

Custom Website Development, explained

I design and build custom websites in Next.js, React and TypeScript for small businesses, medical and wellness practices, and service companies. Every site is coded from scratch, exported as static pages so it loads fast, and handed over with hosting, SSL and DNS already running.

A custom site is the right call when a template is holding you back: you need online ordering that fits how you actually run, pages for every service and city you cover, or a design that looks like your brand rather than everyone else’s theme.

I own the whole build: structure, design, code, content migration, launch and the support afterward. Because the pages are pre-rendered, there is no database to hack and nothing to slow down when traffic spikes.

What’s included

Everything it takes, done properly.

  • Design and build

    Layout, typography and components designed for your brand, coded in Next.js with TypeScript.

  • Performance

    Static export, modern image formats and lean code. My live builds score 95 or higher on desktop Lighthouse performance.

  • Accessibility

    Semantic markup, keyboard navigation, contrast and alt text checked with axe-core before launch.

  • Integrations

    Square payments, booking platforms, CRMs, forms and blog APIs wired in cleanly.

  • Launch and hosting

    DNS, SSL, Cloudflare and deployment handled, with redirects so existing links keep working.

  • Ongoing support

    Edits, new pages and fixes after launch, from the person who built it.

In practice

Projects that used it

How I work

Every project follows the same path. AI tools speed up the build. The decisions, the checks and the accountability stay with me.

  • 01

    Scope

    A short call to understand the business, the customers and what the site has to do. You get a clear plan and price.

  • 02

    Design

    Structure and look built around your content and brand, never a theme with your logo swapped in.

  • 03

    Build

    Custom Next.js code, written fast with AI-assisted tooling and checked by hand for speed, accessibility and accuracy.

  • 04

    Launch & grow

    DNS, SSL, redirects and Search Console handled. Then edits, new pages and SEO as the business grows.

Web development FAQ

Why Next.js instead of WordPress?

Next.js sites are pre-built into static pages, so they load faster, have far less to attack and need no plugin updates. You still get a site that is easy to change: content lives in simple data files I can update the same day.

How long does a custom website take?

A focused small-business site usually takes a few weeks from kickoff to launch. The biggest factors are how many pages it needs and how quickly content and feedback come back. Builds with checkout or many location pages take longer, and I’ll give you a timeline before we start.

Do you use AI to build websites?

Yes. I use AI coding tools every day to write and review code faster, the same way most professional developers now do. I design the structure, make the decisions, test everything and own the result. It means you get a custom build in less time, not a template.

Can you take over or rebuild an existing site?

Yes. I can migrate your content, keep your URLs or redirect them properly, and rebuild the site on a faster stack without losing the search ranking you already have.

Do you work with businesses outside San Diego?

Yes. I’m based in San Diego and work with clients across the US, including Los Angeles, Florida and Maryland. Everything runs fine over calls, email and text.
