Web application development · Since 1996
Serious development for the applications your business runs on.
Custom web apps. Laravel and PHP. AWS. WordPress plugins. Performance and security — built, fixed, and managed by one senior developer, explained in plain English.
The first conversation is free, honest, and jargon-free.
Sound familiar?
Most projects start with one of these sentences.
If one of them is yours, there’s a page for exactly that situation.
“Our developer disappeared.”
The person who built your app is gone, the agency stopped answering, and nobody’s sure who has the passwords. I take over projects in exactly this state — calmly, and without judgment.
“Nobody will touch our app.”
You have a working application, but it’s a few versions behind and every developer you talk to wants to rebuild it from scratch. It almost never needs that.
“Our site is slow — or worse, it was hacked.”
Slow pages cost you customers every day, and a hacked site costs you sleep. Both are fixable, and both are preventable.
“Our AWS bill makes no sense and nobody owns it.”
The cloud setup grew one decision at a time, and now it’s expensive, fragile, and undocumented. I set it up right and keep it that way.
What I do
Seven ways I help businesses like yours.
Why one developer
One senior developer. On purpose.
When you work with Digital Canvas, there are no account managers, no handoffs to juniors, no “let me check with the team.”
I’ve been building for the web since 1996 — long enough to have seen almost every way a project can go wrong, and most of the ways to put one right. I explain technology in plain English, tell you the truth about tradeoffs (including when the cheap option is the right one), and stick around after launch. Most of my client relationships are measured in years, not projects.
Technology doesn’t have to feel like a foreign language. Making it make sense is the job.
Proof, not promises
building for the web — since before Google existed
of sites and applications hosted and managed today
my longest client relationship — still going today
