Simple, functional,
and beautiful.

My name is Justin and I design websites that work for and not against you.

Let's have a conversation.

Partnering with some great people over the years.

For 20 years I have worked really hard to make the web a more usable and beautiful place to explore. Businesses, organizations, and others have put their trust in my ability to make their websites work for and not against them. I truly care about the websites I create for my clients. I design websites for people.

The new owners, Mitch and Tristan, of a staple in Buffalo, NY since opening it's doors in 1898 came to me asking if I could help give the website for their bicycle shop a new modern look while showcasing it's history.

Lockport Ice Arena & Sports Center, Inc, the not-for-profit owners of the ice arena situated in Lockport, NY, were not looking to reinvent the wheel with a new website. They simply wanted a website that met their budget, was pleasing to the eye, and was easy to navigate.

Tom Grifasi was looking for a brand new website that could help him visualize and promote his new business consulting services business, yeah that is a mouthful. With his new endeavor in it's early stages and his budget not large, but with the need to update things on the fly, we decided to design and build the website using Squarespace.

I've worked with DSE Healthcare on and off for over 10 years in a design and build capacity. For this project they came to me asking for my skills with the latter. The design for this new Shopify based website was ready to go, it just needed to be built out and some design tweaks made to make things work across all screen sizes.

I partnered with my friends at Bridge + Vali for the creation of the Sklice website. They worked as the project manager and design team, with my hands being used to build the designed layouts on Shopify. I also assisted the Sklice team in getting things up and running with all the trappings that come with an online store.

I love designing websites for bands. This band website in particular, for a band I played the drums in, is still one of my all time favorite web creations. It is simple, functional, and beautiful. The photo is what really sets it off.

What is the process? How do we get started?

It all starts with scheduling a meeting to talk about your business and you, your organization and you, your services and you, or simply you. We discuss the pain points, the things that are driving you crazy, with the current design of your website or think about what your new website should be and how to achieve that goal. Once we know where we need to go, we jump into the design phase and go back and forth until you are happy with what I create for you. Then we connect the newly created design to the chosen or current CMS (content management system) of your choice and we release it to the world. Then we wait for your goals to be achieved.

Every website I design and build from scratch, or redesign, is made just for you and all the screen sizes you can throw at it. You have goals you are looking to accomplish with your website, let me and my 20 years of experience bring those goals to life.

Let's have a conversation.

We hired Justin to update our non-profit website. It was outdated and just needed an overall change/upgrade. Justin did an amazing job! Our site looks great now. It has a fresh look to it. He did a great job of explaining everything along the way. Justin did a video meeting to explain everything and how to use the new site. He always responds in a prompt manner when we need help. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a new site or re-vamped site!

You know that scene from A New Hope where Luke blows up the Death Star with precise strike? Well, that is Justin in a nut shell. Oh you want more detail? Justin is very good and designing websites. Look at ours, it's fantastic!

- Tristan Tims, Rick Cycle Shop

Justin has worked with DSE Healthcare Solutions for over 10 years and has helped us to build multiple websites for many of our leading specialty consumer healthcare brands. His sites are well designed and built, easy to navigate, modern and colorful, and optimized for mobile use. He is our go to person for all things web related. We literally just turn it over to him. He’s got a very deep understanding of the web development process.

- Khalil Daya, DSE Healthcare

I hired Justin to help me build my professional services website from scratch. I decided to use the SquareSpace DIY platform but needed more time for the learning curve to build it myself. They make it sound easy, but it’s laborious and time-consuming. He designed, created, and programmed the site in a few weeks using the content I wrote, which we edited as needed. He was meticulous with my details and ensured elements matched properly so the user experience was seamless. He did great design work in response to my suggestions about the look and feel I wanted. I now have a website where I can edit incidental things, add my newsletter, etc., on the fly, yet he’s there if I need bigger changes. I highly recommend him.

- Tom Grifasi, Tom G Consulting

We've partnered with Justin on many websites, and our most recent collaboration on the Sklice website was an outstanding experience. Justin is sharp, intuitive, and efficient, consistently delivering high-quality work. His expertise and proactive approach made the entire process seamless, and it was truly a pleasure to work with him. Highly recommend!
