Senior engineering, embedded with your team
Most "web developers" stop at HTML and a template. I work as a fractional senior engineer: I own architecture, write the production code, integrate the APIs, wire up the observability, and stick around for what breaks.
That means typed React or Vue components, server-rendered or statically-generated pages where each makes sense, edge-deployed APIs, structured data and Core Web Vitals baked in from the first commit, and a documented stack future maintainers can actually inherit.
What you get
- Custom design implementation tailored to your brand and component system
- React 19 / Next.js 16 or Vue 3 / Nuxt. Picked for fit, not fashion
- TypeScript end-to-end with strict mode and shared types
- Server-side rendering, static generation, or ISR depending on traffic shape
- WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility built into components, not retrofitted
- Core Web Vitals budgeted and enforced in CI
- Edge deployment on Vercel, Cloudflare, or your hyperscaler of choice
- Analytics, RUM, and error monitoring wired before launch
The stack I bring
Where this fits
Marketing sites that have to convert
PPC landing pages, conversion-optimized templates, A/B tested funnels. I've shipped the systems behind thousands of leads per month.
SaaS products and dashboards
Typed React on a serverless backend. Auth, billing (Stripe), team management, audit logs, role-based access. Patterns I've built before, not invented for your project.
Embeddable widgets and SDKs
Conversational intake widgets, embed scripts, white-label form builders. Shipped at scale across dozens of production domains.
Headless rebuilds
WordPress, Drupal, or Shopify backends paired with a fast modern frontend. Editors keep what they know; users get a 10× faster experience.
Frequently asked
How much does a custom website cost?
Most marketing site engagements land between $12k and $45k depending on complexity, integration count, and timeline. SaaS products and embeddable widgets price separately. I'll always give a written scope and fixed-price quote after a discovery call. No hourly mystery bills.
Do you only work with Los Angeles clients?
I'm based in LA but work remote-first. Roughly half my engagements are with teams in San Francisco, New York, or remote-distributed organizations. Local clients get the option of in-person scoping sessions when useful.
React or Vue. Which should I pick?
Whichever your team will inherit. If you already have a React frontend or hire React engineers, stick with React/Next.js. If you're a marketing site with a small dev team, Nuxt's batteries-included approach is often faster to maintain. I'll recommend based on your team, not my preference.
Can you work with an existing design or do I need a designer?
Both. I implement Figma comps from your designer, work from a brand system, or (for smaller projects) design and build directly. I'm comfortable in Figma but I'm an engineer first.
What about ongoing maintenance after launch?
I offer monthly retainers for performance monitoring, security patching, content updates, and continued feature work. Most clients move into a retainer after launch; some hand off to their internal team with documentation.
