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.

The rebuild: listings and MLS search, front and center.

ShippedLeads with the island. Photography of Molokaʻi, not stock.
ShippedListings and MLS search on page one.
ShippedWorks on a phone. Most of their visitors are on one.
ShippedLoads in under a second on island connections.

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.

Three industries, three different sites

Concept builds, each designed from scratch. If two of my sites ever look like siblings, I rebuild one.

These three are fictional concept businesses, shown as design work, not client claims. Real client sites live on the Real Clients page.

Why "Frontline"

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.
