I build fast, custom, modern websites for local Boise businesses — from scratch, no templates, looks great on mobile and desktop. You get something that actually looks like it belongs in 2026.
I'm Sam — a web developer and designer based right here in Boise. I've been building websites since the late 90s, long before Squarespace existed, and I've watched every trend come and go. What I've learned is that most small business owners don't need a platform subscription — they need a great site, built by someone who actually cares.
My approach is straightforward: I research your business, design something custom from scratch, and hand it off (or host it myself) at a flat rate. No retainers, no surprise invoices, no trying to upsell you features you don't need.
I work with local Boise businesses — restaurants, salons, contractors, medical practices. If your current site is dated, or you don't have one at all, let's talk. I'll often build a free mockup first so you can see exactly what you'd be getting.
Sam made the whole process painless. I couldn't have done it without his guidance and patience, and the pricing is fair and worth every penny.
It was amazing working with Sam, and the entire process was incredibly easy. He was always quick to respond and made everything run smoothly. I'm so happy with the final result and highly recommend his services.
Every site I build starts from a blank canvas. No templates, no Elementor, no drag-and-drop. Your site looks like yours.
Over half your visitors are on a phone. Every site I build is designed mobile-first and tested across screen sizes before it ships.
No bloated plugins, no 4MB page loads. Hand-written HTML and CSS means sites that load in under a second and score well on Google.
Need to update hours, swap a photo, add a new service? I handle it fast. No support tickets, no waiting — just send me a message.
Every site includes structured data markup (schema.org) so Google understands your business name, address, hours, and reviews — the signals that drive local search rankings.
I handle the server, SSL certificate, and uptime so you never have to. Or I hand off the files and you can deploy wherever you like.
I build a real preview of your site — no commitment, no charge. See exactly what you'd get before saying yes.
You give feedback and I revise. I want you to be happy with it before we go live.
You point your existing domain to my server — I'll walk you through it. SSL is set up automatically.
On the support plan, I make updates to content when needed. On handoff, you own everything and can take it anywhere.
Prices are based on the level of service you want — own your files outright, add hosting and maintenance, or get ongoing content updates too. I'll tell you exactly which tier fits before you commit to anything.
Every website is fully custom-built — no templates. Click through to see the real thing.
