I build things
and I stick
around.

Twenty-five years ago I built my first website, and I've been building ever since: business sites, nonprofit sites, web apps, the lot.

I've spent as much of that time keeping sites alive as launching them, which taught me the thing most designers never learn: the launch is the easy part. The years after are where a website earns its keep.

The Outer Banks is a place where reputation is everything and everyone knows who does good work. That suits me fine. I'd rather build twenty sites that hold up than two hundred that don't.

Five rules, no exceptions.

Let's build something that holds up.
