Your ongoing technology strategy partner25+ years building for the web

Websites, apps & AI.
Handled, month after month.

I’m Rick. My senior team and I take over your whole digital presence — the site, the apps, the marketing, the AI — and run it like it’s our own. One partner does the work. One person picks up the phone: me.

Describe the mess. See a first-draft 90-day plan.

Drafts are a starting point. Your real roadmap comes from the audit in month one.

Sound familiar?

You didn’t start your business to manage the technology that drives it.

Nobody owns the tech

The website, the email, the files, the computers, the AI tools. Every decision lands on your desk by default, or doesn’t get made at all.

Vendors, but no strategy

A website from one shop, ads from another, software nobody set up right. No one connects any of it to where the business is going.

AI is moving without you

Competitors are automating work and showing up in AI search. You need someone who can tell you what’s real and what’s noise.

That’s the role we fill: your contracted CTO. Senior technology leadership, plus a team that ships, for a fraction of the cost of hiring one.

What we take off your plate

One team for the whole job.

How it works

A partnership, not a project queue.

  1. 1
    An intro call

    We talk about your business and where the web is holding it back. Thirty minutes, no pitch deck.

  2. 2
    A 90-day plan

    I audit what you have and map the first quarter: what we fix, build, and measure, in plain English.

  3. 3
    A monthly rhythm

    Then we get to work. Every month: shipped improvements, a short report, and one person to call.

Real systems, really running.

Who you’re working with

Led by Rick. Built by a senior team.

Behind me is a team I’ve worked with for years: deep engineers and marketing specialists who ship for businesses far larger than most of my clients. I scope the work, I manage them, I check every deliverable. You get big-team capability with one person to call: me.
