Freelance websites for
local businesses in Edwardsville and St. Louis.
I build fast, modern websites for local businesses, and I've put together industry-specific example sites so prospects can browse a restaurant, contractor, dentist, law firm, salon, or other local-business direction before we talk. I'm also a Computer Science student building production software and open to Summer 2027 software engineering internships.
