Columbus, Ohio

Web Design & Custom Software for Columbus Businesses

Columbus—Ohio's capital, not the small one in Indiana—is growing fast, full of young talent out of Ohio State and a startup scene that doesn't sit still. I build custom websites, web apps, and automation for Columbus businesses trying to keep up, with flat published pricing and no monthly bills. I'm Indianapolis-based and work with Columbus clients remotely, which is how most good software gets built anyway.

Contact Me See the Work

Columbus is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest, and it shows. Walk the Short North on a Friday, grab lunch in German Village, watch the cranes go up downtown, or drive out to Easton Town Center and the suburbs in Dublin and Westerville—there's money, momentum, and a steady stream of educated young people pouring out of Ohio State. That's a great market to sell into, and a crowded one to stand out in.

The flip side of all that growth is competition. With big insurance and tech employers anchoring the region and a real startup ecosystem on top of them, the bar for what a business looks like online keeps climbing. I build sites and software for Columbus businesses that hold up against that—clean, fast, mobile-first, and credible—and when a brochure site isn't enough, I add the online booking, quote requests, and lead capture that turn attention into actual revenue.

One thing I'll be straight about: I'm based in the Indianapolis metro, not Columbus. I'm not going to pretend to be a local shop on High Street. What I am is the developer who builds the whole thing himself and works with you remotely—calls, email, and shared screens—which is how most of my projects run regardless of the city. Columbus is about three hours from Indy, so if a project genuinely needs an in-person kickoff, that's an easy drive.

Keep Up With a Growing City

Columbus is adding people and businesses fast. A modern, custom site signals you're part of where the city is going, not where it was.

Built for a Young, Mobile Crowd

A lot of your customers are students, grads, and young professionals who decide on their phones in seconds. The site has to be fast and obvious.

Found Across the Metro

From the Short North to Dublin and Westerville, Franklin County is competitive. Local SEO basics get you into "near me" results instead of page three.

Software That Scales With You

In a city this entrepreneurial, a form often isn't enough. I build the web app or automation that handles the work you're currently doing by hand.

Custom Websites

Fast, mobile-first, custom-designed sites built around your brand—not a recycled template.

Web Apps & Custom Software

Internal tools, dashboards, and customer-facing apps built around how you actually work.

Online Booking & Lead Capture

Instant-quote and scheduling flows that turn visitors into booked jobs, day or night.

Integrations & Automation

Connect the tools you already use and automate the manual steps eating your team's time.

Local SEO Foundations

Columbus-focused titles, meta tags, and service pages so you show up for "near me" searches.

Hosting & Ongoing Support

Managed hosting, SSL, backups, and a real person to call when you need a change.

Is this for Columbus, Ohio or Columbus, Indiana?

Columbus, Ohio—the state capital and Franklin County's biggest city, home to Ohio State, the Short North, German Village, and suburbs like Dublin and Westerville. There's a smaller Columbus down in Indiana, but this page is about the Ohio one. I work with businesses in both, so if you meant the Indiana one, just say so.

Do you meet Columbus clients in person, or is it all remote?

I'm based in the Indianapolis metro, so most Columbus work runs remotely—calls, email, and shared screens—and honestly that's how the majority of my projects go regardless of city. Columbus is about a three-hour drive from Indy, so an in-person kickoff is doable when a project really calls for it. I won't pretend to be a Columbus storefront; I'd rather be the developer who picks up the phone.

How much does a website cost for a Columbus business?

Pricing is flat and published: a Starter site is $2,900 and a Business site is $4,900, with your first year of hosting and support included—no monthly bills. After year one it renews once a year at the same flat price, and you keep your code if you ever leave. Full details are on my website design page.

Can you build more than a website—like booking or a custom tool?

Yes. Beyond websites I build web apps, online booking and lead-capture flows, integrations, and custom internal software. InspectKit, a SaaS used by field inspectors every day, is one I built end to end—the kind of thing that fits Columbus's startup and tech-heavy scene.
