Custom WordPress Website Design & Development
Your website should be built around your business—not squeezed into a one-size-fits-all package. I design and develop responsive WordPress websites ranging from straightforward small business sites to ecommerce stores, landing pages, custom functionality, integrations, and larger website projects.
Already have a website? We can work with that too. Not every project needs to start over from scratch.
Domain Name Registration & Setup
Need a domain name or not sure where to register one? I can help you choose a domain, navigate registration, configure DNS, and make sure everything is connected properly to your website, hosting, and other services.
Already own your domain? Great! In most cases, there’s no reason to move it just because we’re building a new website.
WordPress & WooCommerce Ecommerce Websites
Need to sell products, merchandise, services, or other items online? I build ecommerce functionality with WordPress and WooCommerce, including product catalogs, inventory, payments, order management, shipping or pickup options, customer notifications, and other functionality your store may require.
Ecommerce projects vary significantly depending on the number of products, integrations, shipping requirements, and other functionality, so these projects are quoted individually.
Restaurant & Online Ordering Integrations
Already using an online ordering, reservation, delivery, or restaurant management platform? I can integrate it into your website so customers can easily find menus, place orders, make reservations, or access the services they need without hunting around for them.
Untappd Integration for Breweries & Taprooms
I LOVE working with breweries and taprooms (and not just because a brewery visit can occasionally become legitimate business research). I can integrate your Untappd tap list directly into your website so customers can easily see what’s currently pouring without you having to update the same information in multiple places.
Social Media & Instagram Integrations
Already creating content for social media? Your website can make use of it too. I can integrate compatible social feeds and content into WordPress so visitors can see your latest activity without requiring you to manually update the same content in multiple places.
Logo
You need a unique, professionally designed logo to establish your branding and make yourself identifiable to your customers or audience. If you do not already have one, I work with a few professional graphic designers who can make it happen for you and put a face to your brand.
Copywriting
You need content for your website. About/biography, item descriptions, this stuff you’re looking at right now. I can take care of this for you. And if it’s beyond me, I also work with professional copywriters who will be able to.
Photography
Lastly, another service that I offer through talented people I know. You’ll need pictures of your products, your food items, the inside of your store/restaurant/brewery/bar, or even yourself or your team. No matter what you need, I can hook you up with a professional photographer that will capture beautiful images for your beautiful website.
Managed WordPress Hosting & Website Maintenance
Launching your website is only the beginning. WordPress websites need hosting, updates, backups, security monitoring, performance maintenance, and occasional attention when something inevitably decides to act weird.
My managed WordPress hosting and maintenance service keeps the technical side handled so you can focus on running your business. Hosting and maintenance are completely optional. Your website is still yours whether you host with Channel 37 Online or somewhere else.
Managed WordPress Hosting
Your website needs a server to live on. Channel 37 Online hosts client websites on managed VPS infrastructure, giving them dedicated resources without relying on overcrowded bargain shared-hosting environments.
Think of shared hosting like having a terrible roommate who eats your food, blasts music at 2 AM, and somehow gets you yelled at by the landlord. If another website on an overloaded shared server causes problems, yours can suffer too.
I prefer fewer shitty roommates.
WordPress Software & Security Updates
Since your website is essentially a piece of software, much like the software on your computer or apps on your phone, it needs regular updates. Without these updates, your website becomes vulnerable to security and performance issues. I check every day to make sure your website is up-to-date and running smoothly.
Website Firewall & Malware Protection
Again, like the software on your computer, your website can become compromised and destroyed by bad guys. I utilize tools to protect your website from automated attacks and hackers, and regularly scan your site to ensure it is secure and clean.
SSL Certificate Installation & Configuration
An SSL certificate enables HTTPS encryption, helping protect information transmitted between your website and its visitors. I’ll handle certificate installation, configuration, and renewal as part of managed hosting so you don’t have to think about it.
Website Backups & Disaster Recovery
A failsafe in case anything were to go wrong, or if we need to reference an older version of your site for any reason. I keep multiple backups on a regular basis, in multiple storage points to ensure we have a plan if any disaster were to come along.
WordPress Performance Optimization & CDN
What good is a cool website if it takes too long to load and is hard to get around? I have a tried-and-true process in which I run tests and experiments on your site to minimize load time and get your site running at lightning-speed. The most important tool I use in this process is a CDN (content delivery network). According to CloudFlare, a CDN is “a geographically distributed group of servers which work together to provide fast delivery of Internet content.”
This means that no matter where in the world someone is trying to access your site, they will be able to access it from the closest available server to them, reducing load time, thanks to CloudFlare’s distribution service. The CDN also has a few added security benefits, which you can read more about in the link above.
24/7 Website Uptime Monitoring
Any time a website on my server is detected as down or unreachable, I will get an email and a text message right away notifying me so I can take action immediately and get the site back up and running and investigate the cause.
WordPress Content Updates
Need to add a new item to your store? Update or add copy or images? Add an event date to your calendar? Just shoot me an email and I’ll take care of it ASAP!
Monthly Website Maintenance Reports
Each month on the 1st, you will receive a report that details work that has been done on your website, updates performed, backups saved, as well as your website’s security scans and health.
Additional Website Project Support
A website project often needs more than development. When needed, I can help coordinate additional creative services through trusted professionals so you’re not left trying to track down every resource yourself.

Website & Development FAQs
Not sure what your website needs or where to start? Here are answers to some common questions about the development, support, and website services I offer.
Do you only build new websites?
No. In addition to new WordPress websites, I work on existing sites that need redesigns, new pages, troubleshooting, performance improvements, migrations, analytics and tracking implementation, or ongoing development support.
Could I use AI or a DIY website builder instead?
You can—and I’m not going to pretend those tools don’t exist. They can be great for getting a simple website online quickly. Where I come in is when you need custom functionality, integrations, troubleshooting, better performance, conversion tracking, or simply want the finished site to go beyond what a template or prompt can easily produce.
Can you work with or improve my existing website?
Absolutely. Not every website needs to be rebuilt from scratch. I can work with what you already have to improve the design, layout, functionality, performance, or user experience. Whether you need a few targeted improvements, new pages, or a more extensive refresh, we can build on what’s already working and focus on what actually needs attention.
Can you fix a WordPress problem without rebuilding my entire website?
Usually, yes. Not every WordPress problem requires a new website. I offer troubleshooting and development services for specific issues, broken functionality, layout problems, plugin conflicts, performance concerns, and other WordPress headaches.
Do you offer website hosting and maintenance?
Yes. Hosting and ongoing website maintenance are available for clients who would rather not manage updates, backups, security, and routine website upkeep themselves. They’re optional—your website remains yours either way.
Can you set up analytics and conversion tracking?
Yes. I can implement and troubleshoot tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to help you understand how visitors use your website and measure important actions such as form submissions and other conversions.
Can you help improve website speed and performance?
Yes. I can evaluate WordPress performance and identify issues involving images, plugins, caching, scripts, hosting, database overhead, and other factors that may be slowing the site down.
