Web Development Engineer
Digital footprint,
built to gain ground.
I build websites, keep them running, and help them get found. That covers search, AI answers, and WCAG accessibility. One engineer does it all.

Built, managed, and optimized to be found
Development, ongoing management, and SEO / AEO / GEO / WCAG — pick one or stack the whole suite. One engineer, end to end. See all services →
Development
Website Design & Development
Fast, modern sites and web apps on Astro and Cloudflare. Structured data and accessibility are built in from day one. Anything from a one-page site to an app with logins.
Development
Web Apps & Functionality
Contact forms, booking, members-only pages, and dashboards. They run on Cloudflare, not a pile of plugins. No lock-in to a third-party tool.
Development
Rebuilds & Migrations
Is your site slow, dated, or hard to change? I rebuild it on a clean, modern stack. Your content, URLs, and rankings move over with it. Redirects keep what you have earned in search.
Management
Managed Care & Content Upkeep
Updates, backups, uptime checks, and security monitoring. Content and structured data stay current too. Your site stays fast, online, and easy to find.
Management
Performance & Core Web Vitals
I find and fix what makes a site slow. That means Core Web Vitals, images, and scripts that block the page. Speed helps you rank, and it helps you sell.
Optimization
SEO — Search Engine Optimization
Technical SEO, page-level fixes, and structured data. They help the right people find you on Google. The audit shows what is wrong, and the work fixes it.
Optimization
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Shape your content to win featured snippets and voice answers. These answers now sit above the usual blue links.
Optimization
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
Get your site cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. More buyers now ask AI instead of searching. GEO keeps you in the answer.
Optimization
WCAG Accessibility & Compliance
Audit and fix your site to WCAG 2.2 AA. That is the standard behind ADA web rules. You get less legal risk, more customers, and a site that is easier for everyone.
The Scope · Audit · Build method
Every project follows the same three steps. You always know what comes next and what you get.
-
STEP 01
Scope
A 30-minute call about your site, goals, and timeline. You get a written fit check the same day.
-
STEP 02
Audit
I measure before I touch anything: SEO, schema, speed, AI search, and WCAG 2.2 AA. You get a plan ranked by impact.
-
STEP 03
Build
I do the work in a set window and test again to prove it held. Then I hand it all back in your name.
Lone Star Specialist vs. website builder vs. agency
There are three common ways to get a website. Here is how they compare. It shows when one engineer is the right fit, and when it is not.
| Compared on | Lone Star Specialist | DIY website builder | Marketing agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | One engineer — build, SEO, and accessibility together | You, on a drag-and-drop template | Handed between account managers and junior staff |
| Performance & code | Hand-built, fast, lightweight, standards-based | Templated and often bloated with scripts | Varies — frequently a heavy CMS or page builder |
| SEO / AEO / GEO | Built in from the first commit, to a measurable standard | Basic knobs; AI-search optimization rare | Usually an add-on retainer, outcomes vary |
| Accessibility (WCAG/ADA) | Audited and remediated to WCAG 2.2 AA | Your responsibility; templates rarely comply | Often an overlay widget, which is not compliance |
| Ownership & cost | You own the code, hosting, and domain; project or monthly plan | Cheap monthly fee, but locked to the platform | Higher retainer; you may not own the site |

Answers, up front
What do you do?
I build websites, keep them running, and help them get found. That covers SEO, AEO, GEO, and WCAG accessibility. One engineer handles it all.
What are AEO and GEO?
AEO wins featured snippets and voice answers. GEO gets your site cited by AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Both build on the same technical SEO.
How do you charge?
A fixed bid for a set project, like a build, an audit, or a fix. Or a monthly care plan. Every job is quoted to the work.
Want a site that gets found — and stays that way?
Send me your domain (or what you need built) and a few sentences on your goals. You work directly with the engineer doing the work — there is no account manager in between.

Backed by real engineering
I hold eight active certs, including Security+, RHCSA, and CCNA, plus years of hands-on infrastructure work. Your SEO, speed, and accessibility meet a standard you can check. Not a plugin’s claim.
-
Same-business-day reply
You get a written fit check, then a quote or an honest referral elsewhere. Not a sales pitch.
-
No retainer or contract to start
The scoping call is 30 minutes. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
