Meet Dez · Sunrise, Florida

I build the website I needed.

For about two and a half years I ran a painting business in Freeport, Grand Bahama. I lost jobs because I was up a ladder when the phone rang. Now I build websites, and the follow-up behind them, for people who work with their hands.

How I got here

The $8,000 call I didn't pick up.

I missed a lot of calls on that ladder, and I lost jobs over it. I'll never know how many.

One I do know about. It was a contract job for a school, around $8,000. We were doing well, and that one would have been the icing on the cake. Me and the guys really felt it when that one got away.

The work was never the problem. Getting through to me was.

From paint to code

Five stops between the ladder and your website.

Certified in Google Analytics and Apple Search Ads, plus four HubSpot certifications.

  1. 01

    Freeport, Grand Bahama

    I grew up there and ran a painting business on the side for about two and a half years. That's where I learned what a missed call costs.

  2. 02

    A move and a career change

    I moved to America planning to change careers. I'd always been good with computers, so I started building small websites for people. The first real one helped someone starting a business take in clients. It worked, and they paid me. Ka-ching.

  3. 03

    A restaurant, then an ordering app

    Next came a restaurant. Then a friend who sold meals a few times a week needed an easy way to take orders, so we made a private app they could send out as a link, and their customers could place an order any time. Boy, was he happy.

  4. 04

    Ironhack, Miami

    I won a scholarship to a coding bootcamp at a tech meetup and graduated head of my class. American Express and Intuit are on my resume.

  5. 05

    Sunrise, Florida

    Now I build websites and the follow-up behind them, so the next person on a ladder keeps that job.

The part I like

I still like the same part best.

It's helping somebody's business work a little better. That hasn't changed since the first site I built.

I grew up in the Bahamas. Sunrise, Florida is home now, and it's where I build from.

Working together

When you text, it's me.

I build your site, and I'm the one you reach after it goes live. Nothing gets passed to someone you've never met.
