ABOUT

My name is Ben I was born and raised here in Pocatello. I am an independent web developer with over 8 years of hands-on experience crafting digital solutions for businesses and individuals, I've honed my skills through countless projects that demanded creativity, efficiency, and reliability. Early in my career, I relied heavily on platforms like WordPress, appreciating their quick setup and vast ecosystem. However, as projects grew more complex, I encountered persistent challenges: the inherent bloat that slowed sites down, frequent plugin conflicts that led to unpredictable bugs, hidden costs behind paid features essential for advanced functionality, framework incompatibilities that complicated customizations, and the endless headaches of third-party integrations that often broke with updates. Frustrated by these limitations, I made the pivotal shift to ground-up development—building websites from scratch using clean code, modern technologies, and tailored architectures. This approach not only eliminates dependencies and vulnerabilities but also unlocks true freedom: the ability to innovate without constraints, optimize for performance from the foundation, and deliver bespoke experiences that perfectly align with each client's vision. Today, I thrive on this autonomy, turning ideas into seamless, scalable realities that stand the test of time.
