A small practice in Lakewood Ranch.

You talk to the person building the site — Chris Ennis. There's no account layer between you and the work, which means questions get answered by somebody who knows the answer and changes don't take a week to reach whoever makes them.

You own what gets built. The repository is yours, the domain stays in your name and your account, and there's no platform subscription holding the site hostage. If you want to take it elsewhere later, you can — that's the arrangement, not a concession.

Everything checkable gets checked automatically. Sites are audited on every build for the things that quietly break search visibility, and a failure stops the deploy. It's a small discipline that prevents the most expensive category of problem, which is the kind nobody notices for six months.

Guarantee a ranking. Nobody controls the ranking, so nobody can guarantee it. Anyone offering a guaranteed number one is either describing a phrase nobody searches or about to do something that costs you later.

Build a hundred town pages. Near-identical pages with the city name swapped get clustered and ignored, and they drag down the pages that were genuinely good. The full argument is here, with measurements from a real project.

Invent credentials. There are no award badges, partner logos or client counts on this site, because there is nothing to put there yet that would be true. When there is, it'll go up. Until then the work is the argument.

Lock you in. No proprietary builder, no hosting you can't leave, no situation where stopping payment means losing the site.

Primary: Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Bradenton — close enough to meet in person and close enough that proximity helps you in local results.

Also working in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Venice, Palmetto. Remote work is fine for anywhere else; the constraint isn't distance, it's that local search results are decided partly by how far you are from the person searching, and that's worth being honest about before you pay for something it won't fix.
