About John.
I don’t just build websites; I engineer solutions that work for people.
By focusing on smart, effective development, I help turn your online presence into a tool for growth instead of a drain on your budget. Whether you’re building a business or a movement, my goal is to make technology part of the solution, not the obstacle.
Clients and colleagues know me as a tenacious problem solver who keeps the process transparent and makes complex projects feel manageable without too much “techspeak.” My approach centers on collaborating with local specialists for every project, so you get top‑tier results and a direct, uncomplicated partnership from start to finish.
When I’m not working in my slippers, I’m usually out drawing inspiration from the energy of the Twin Cities music scene. Whether I’m traveling with my camera in hand, experimenting in the kitchen, or getting lost in a history book, I find that the best ideas often come from the things I discover when I step away from the screen.
I don’t like leaving clients in the dark — I’m all about educating and presenting solutions in a way that empowers them so they’re feeling confident during the decision-making process.
Minneapolis designer, Dan Woychick, and I talk about psychology, music, and WordPress.
The single largest mistake I’ve seen is the notion that after a website is launched, the work is done. That 'set and forget' practice is fine for your thermostat, but not for a website.
