Jacksonville is Florida’s largest city by area and one of the fastest-growing metros in the US Southeast — logistics, insurance, healthcare, military-adjacent industries, and a growing tech and startup base. I build WordPress and Shopify sites for Jacksonville small businesses, service providers, and B2B firms that need a professional online presence without agency retainer overhead.
Remote-first, EST-native, and direct communication with the person writing the code. Fixed-price only, code ownership at launch, 14 days of free post-launch fixes.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with Jacksonville clients in person?
Remote-first only. Working hours overlap with Jacksonville’s EST morning. Replies before 10 AM Jacksonville time on weekdays. Video calls scheduled on overlapping hours.
Do you build for insurance and financial services with compliance requirements?
Yes. I’ve built for corporate-trust B2B environments where compliance and audit trails matter. Contact forms with proper data handling, SSL / TLS setup, cookie consent aligned with US privacy laws, and structured data for professional services — all handled at build time.
Can you migrate my existing site to WordPress?
Yes. Migration is a fixed-price engagement — $1,500 to $8,000 depending on scope. Content preserved, 301 redirect map delivered, SEO maintained through cutover.
Do you set up Google Business Profile?
GBP setup and verification is included in most site builds at no extra charge.
What about hurricane season and site uptime?
Client sites run on managed hosting (Cloudways, Kinsta, WP Engine) with automated daily backups. Even if a Jacksonville office loses power or connectivity, the site stays online.
