Custom Web Development in Berkeley, California — Questions
How is this different from WordPress or Wix for a Berkeley business?

Your site is hand-coded in PHP, so it loads far faster than a typical template-built site, carries no plugin bloat, and has no monthly fees. You own it outright.

Do you work with businesses in Berkeley?

Yes — I build for Berkeley businesses of every kind, from single-location shops to multi-service operations. Each site is tailored to how your local customers actually search and what makes them get in touch.

How long does a Berkeley project take?

Most Berkeley sites launch within about a month, including design, build, content, and deployment with SSL and caching configured.

Do I have to pay monthly fees?

No. Your Berkeley project is delivered for a single flat fee, and you keep full ownership of the code and your hosting choices.

Custom Web Development done right

Custom web development means your site is built around your business, not forced into a template. We hand-code every project in PHP and MySQL for sub-second load times, a perfect Lighthouse score, and search rankings that templated builders can't match. From marketing sites to database-driven applications, you get exactly what you need, you own all of the code, and you pay one flat fee with no monthly lock-in. Serving Berkeley, California.

Template and plugin-based builds hit a wall fast — they slow down, break on updates, and can never be tuned the way custom code can.
