My first serious website
was for my own business.
It was more than a portfolio. Clients signed in to view private galleries, ordered prints, and paid online while I was out shooting the next job. Building it showed me how much a useful website can take off a business owner's plate.
Search brought in
my customers.
My photography business ranked on the first page of Google for “Houston Wedding Photographer,” usually around fourth. I did not pay for advertising. I used relevant wording in the site itself and listed the business on a few free, wedding-related directories. Google supplied the inquiries.
Building websites became
the work I wanted to do.
A hobby with a purpose
After years of improving my own site, I started learning the tools behind the web more deeply: PHP, databases, Linux, and the details that turn an idea into a reliable site. In 2020, that work became the foundation for PHP Studio.
Websites that do useful work
Today I design business websites and custom web applications. Some projects explain a service clearly; others need client areas, forms, payments, databases, or a new way to organize information. The right features come from what the business needs to accomplish.
The right build includes
the details around it.
A finished website needs more than a layout. I can help shape the content, prepare it for search, connect the domain, and get it ready for launch. Web and email hosting are available through LibreHost, a separate hosting business.
A good project starts
with a clear conversation.
Tell me what you want your website to help you accomplish. I will ask useful questions, recommend a practical path forward, and build around the parts that matter to your business. When the site is live, I can remain available for improvements as your needs change.
