Why work with Trevor
Less agency theater. More useful execution.
I work across web design, IT support, and small business systems. The goal is simple: build something clean that works and does not break.
Most websites are not just visuals. They connect to domains, email, forms, analytics, payments, accounts, hosting, and the practical details that keep a business moving.
That is where a technical background helps. The site should look good, but it also needs to be structured properly — fast, crawlable, and connected to the tools you use.
You won't get handed off to a junior designer or lose two weeks waiting on revisions. The person you talk to is the person who builds it.
Mobile-first layoutYour site should feel clean on a phone, not just squeezed down from desktop.
SEO basics includedTitles, descriptions, headings, crawlable structure, and local signals on every project.
You own everythingNo lock-in. Domains, hosting, logins, and access stay yours — clearly.
Plain-English handoffWhat was done, why it matters, and what to do next — no jargon.
