Web Development
Need a website that actually works?
I'm Brent - a solo developer who builds clean, fast, professional websites and web apps for local businesses and small teams. No agency overhead, no project managers playing telephone. You deal directly with the person building your site.
The tools I've built - MeritCat, MeritMessage, Merit Toolbox - are my portfolio. Real products, real payment flows, real users. That's the same level of care and craft I bring to client work.
What I build
Business Websites
Clean, fast, mobile-friendly sites for local businesses that need a professional presence. Built to load fast, rank well, and actually convert visitors into customers.
Great for: restaurants, trades, salons, gyms, service businesses.
Web Apps & Tools
Custom web applications with real functionality - user accounts, payments, dashboards, APIs. Built with modern tech that scales.
Great for: SaaS ideas, internal tools, booking systems, custom platforms.
Redesigns & Fixes
Got a site that looks outdated, loads slow, or just feels wrong? I can rebuild or refresh it - same content, better everything else.
Great for: businesses with an embarrassing or broken site.
Ongoing Support
Monthly retainer for updates, changes, hosting management, and keeping things running smoothly after launch.
Great for: businesses that want someone on call, not a one-and-done build.
How it works
You reach out
Send a quick message describing your business and what you need. No forms, no intake questionnaires - just a normal conversation.
We scope it together
I'll ask a few questions, give you a clear quote, and we agree on what's being built before anything starts.
I build it
You get a live preview as it comes together. No surprises on delivery day.
You launch
