VSixteen Development LLC
About
Clients hire me when they want agency-level results, knowledge, design, technology, and attention to detail without the high agency overhead and cost.
I build websites for a living, for more than 20 years now. It’s not a hobby or a passing fancy.
I shoot and edit video.
I help business owners understand the role of the website in the larger digital landscape. I help them plan and execute ways to use their website and digital channels to convert visitors into contacts, leads, or sales.
I develop, fix, harden, customize, and support just about everything WordPress and have for nearly 10 years.
I am always working to get better so my clients don’t get left behind.

How did you get started in this business?
I started building websites in 1996 when the newspaper for which I worked needed its first website. I volunteered and have been building them ever since.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My typical client is a business with 5-50 employees that needs a high-performing website but that does not have the resources or need to hire full-time resources.
My current clients include those in the medical field, sports and fitness, construction, food, and non-profit.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Modern web design is a broad industry now. You will want a partner who can not only build a website that will make you proud, but will perform at the highest level. That performance comes from all the pieces working together: design, speed, usability, and functionlity. Most importantly the final product should speak to YOUR customers.
