Custom websites for local small businesses
SitesMadeWell
Custom-built, mobile-first websites for trades, short-term rental owners, and local professionals. Fast, low-maintenance, and hosted for you — not a template dump.
What I do
Everything you need to get online and stay there — without the headache.
Custom design
Built around your business — not a template everyone else is using. Your brand, your content, done right.
Mobile-first & fast
Designed for phones first, where most of your visitors are. Quick to load and easy to use on any screen.
Hosting handled
I take care of hosting, domains, and the technical setup. One less thing on your plate.
Ongoing support
Need a change or a new page? I'm a quick message away — your site stays current and low-maintenance.
Who it's for
I work with local small businesses that want to look as good online as they are in person.
Trades
Contractors, electricians, plumbers, landscapers — sites that bring in calls and quote requests.
Short-term rental owners
Airbnb and vacation-rental hosts who want direct bookings and a site that shows the place off.
Local professionals
Therapists, photographers, consultants, and realtors who need a polished, trustworthy presence.
Work
A few recent and upcoming projects. More on the way.

About
Hi, I'm David. I build websites for local businesses here in Oregon.
I've spent most of my career in software, building and leading engineering teams. SitesMadeWell is where I do that work directly for the people who need it most: the electrician, the photographer, the short-term rental host, the therapist down the street who knows they need a real website but doesn't want to wrestle with a template or get lost in a big agency.
I build custom sites that are fast, look great on a phone, and don't break. I handle the hosting and the technical parts so you don't have to think about them. And I'm a real person you can actually talk to, not a support ticket.
If you've been putting off getting a proper site, let's talk.
