Fires by day.
Websites by night.
I'm Tanner: a working Maui firefighter, seven years on the job. Between shifts I hand-code websites for small businesses. No templates, no page builders, no agency runaround. You talk to the person who builds it.
What a rebuild actually looks like
Molokai Vacation Properties came to me with a site their customers gave up on. Here is the inspection, and what shipped instead.

Their actual old home page, an off-the-shelf real-estate template.
The rebuild: listings and MLS search, front and center.
I don't patch templates. I tear down what's broken and rebuild it by hand. More real client work
Straight work, straight prices
Every price below is real and on the pricing page. You'll never hear "it depends" twice in one call.
Web Design
$300 starter · $800 business · $2,000+ premium
Hand-coded from a blank file around your business: your photos, your customers, your one job the site has to do. Mobile-first, search-optimized, and accessible to WCAG AA from day one.
Digital Marketing
From $500/moSocial media managed, ads that report their numbers, content created and posted for you.
Frontline AI
$300 setup + $75/moAn assistant on your site that answers questions, captures leads, and books appointments around the clock.
Maintenance
From $50/moUpdates, backups, security, and small changes handled monthly, so your site never rots to "© 2020".
Three industries, three different sites
Concept builds, each designed from scratch. If two of my sites ever look like siblings, I rebuild one.
Kaimana Kitchen
Hawaiian fusion dining. Warm, menu-forward, built to fill tables.
Nakamura & Associates
Hawaii attorneys. Quiet authority, built to earn the consultation call.
Apex Performance
Maui gym. Loud, high-energy, built to sell memberships.
These three are fictional concept businesses, shown as design work, not client claims. Real client sites live on the Real Clients page.
Firehouse values, applied to the web
Fires, floods, ocean rescues. That's the day job. The instinct is the same in both: see the problem, show up, fix it, don't leave until it works.
- Show up. You get my cell, not a ticket queue.
- No surprises. Flat quotes before work starts. The price on the site is the price.
- Built right. Accessible to WCAG AA, fast on island connections, tested on real phones.
What you're actually paying for
Speed you can feel
No bloated builders. A hand-coded page loads in under a second, and Google notices too.
Accessibility, always
WCAG AA contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader structure. Every visitor can use your site. It's the law in more places every year, and it's the right way to build.
Found on Google
Real on-page SEO in every build: proper structure, meta tags, and fast load times from day one.
