I'm a Colorado-based web designer and developer. I started Foundation Web Co to build the kind of websites I'd want for my own business — fast, clean, mobile-first, and the work of a real person you can call when something needs to change.

When you hire Foundation, you work directly with me from first call to launch day — and beyond. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior staff handed your project.

I pick up the phone.

No support tickets, no chatbots, no "we'll get back to you in 3–5 business days." Got a question, an edit, or a problem? Call me.

Your site loads fast.

Slow sites lose customers, especially on phones. Every site I deliver is tuned to feel snappy on a normal cell signal — not just on the office Wi-Fi.

I deliver in 4–6 weeks.

Most builds wrap inside six weeks. You see a working draft early, and you see weekly progress until launch.

I quote one price.

Build fee plus a flat monthly. No surprise invoices, no scope creep, no "premium tier upgrades." If something falls outside the plan, I'll tell you before we touch it.

I keep things simple.

No five-page proposals, no jargon, no upsell pressure. Tell me what you need, I'll tell you what I'll do, we get to work.

I keep editing after launch.

The monthly plan covers ongoing edits, content swaps, new pages, and small changes. Your site keeps up with your business.
