Website Design Services

Simple, durable WordPress websites built for clarity and growth.

Website design services for small and mid-sized organizations that need sites to work clearly, load quickly, and scale without unnecessary complexity. This work is selective and project-based.

Most web design clients are based in Sacramento, Folsom, and El Dorado County, though projects occasionally extend to other regions when the scope aligns with an existing video or photography engagement.

What these websites are designed to do

Websites are a core part of how customers understand, trust, and engage with a business.

The sites I design are built to:

  • Communicate clearly without unnecessary friction
  • Support marketing, sales, and content efforts
  • Scale as a business grows
  • Perform consistently across devices

The guiding principle is simple: do not make the user think.

What a complete engagement looks like

... Scotty diligently pursued this project. He provided us with a 2 day photo shoot and curation and editing services for those photos, a series of interviews with clients and staff which he edited and enhanced, a full website rebuild complete with consultation on all facets of web development, and the implementation of a new SEO scheme. And since the project was completed, he has consistently offered help on website maintenance.

Platform and tools

Websites we design are built on open-source WordPress and delivered on the client’s own hosting account.  All sites are built to be client-owned, independently managed, and hosted on infrastructure you control.

What clients say about the web design work

AED Outdoors Website

...In addition to his work in front of the camera, Scott also built my website from the ground up. He listened to my vision, provided expert guidance on design and content, and created a site that truly reflects my brand.

Thanks to Scott's dedication and professionalism, he was able to capture not only my passion for the product but also the deeper "why" behind what I do. I am incredibly grateful for his support throughout both the creative and technical aspects of this project.
