No templates, no handoffs, no team you never meet. 1. **I live and work on 30A.** I'm Ryder Schilling. I live here and I own and operate multiple businesses in the area. I run companies and I build them, so I know what a website should do for you as a business owner. 2. **We sit down and pull it apart.** Before anything gets designed we go through your business: what you sell, who actually buys it, how they find you, and what this site has to do. Every decision after that traces back to that conversation. 3. **You send me what I need.** Logo, photos, services, anything you already have. One list, sent once. If you're missing pieces I tell you exactly what to go get. 4. **I build it and launch it.** You see it as I build it, not just at the end. When it looks right on every screen and loads fast on every phone, you approve it and I put it live. 5. **You start getting customers.** Your site is out there working while I host it. Fast, secure, backed up, online. You never touch a server or a control panel. 6. **I'm still here after launch.** Price change, new page, something broken on a Sunday night? You text me and I handle it. No ticket, no queue, no support address that answers in three days. --- ## A website is not a one-time build Most owners think you pay once, the site goes up, and that's the end of it. It's the single most expensive assumption in small business, and it's why so many sites quietly stop working six months after launch. --- > Your website is your hardest working employee. Are you using it that way? --- ## Free instant check: see your site the way I see it Paste your address and get the exact first pass Ryder runs before quoting any rebuild: speed, mobile, how Google reads you, and whether a visitor can actually reach you.

Custom gets you chosen. Your site is shaped around your offer, your customers, and how you actually sell, so it loads faster, ranks better, and feels like nobody else's. **Is it worth the cost, and what am I actually getting?** You're getting a site designed and coded from a blank page for your business: the copy and page structure, the SEO groundwork, and whatever features you need built in (booking, payments, a store, a portal, an AI system). Not a theme with your logo dropped on it. It pays for itself when it turns visitors you're already getting into work you're currently losing. **Do you host it, or do I have to figure that out?** I host it. You never touch a server, a registrar, or a control panel. Once you approve the build I put it live on my setup and keep it fast, secure, and online for a flat monthly fee. If something breaks, you call me, not a support queue in another time zone. **Do you handle design, or only development?** Both. Most projects start as a blank page and leave as a finished brand experience: layout, type, color, motion, and the code underneath it all. **Already have a site that needs work?** Happens all the time. I audit what's there, keep what works, rebuild what doesn't, and migrate everything without losing your rankings or your mind. **What happens after launch?** I host it and keep it live. Power-Ups cover light monthly care, and AI Systems is the recurring layer: follow-ups that bring customers back, quoting and scheduling handled, and automations that kill busywork. **What's the process from start to launch?** You tell me what your business needs, you pay to get on the schedule, then I design and code it. You see progress the whole way, and when it's ready you review it and tell me what to change. Nothing goes live until you approve it. After launch I host it and keep it running, billed monthly. **How do revisions and feedback work?** Simple: you point, I polish. Feedback rounds are built into every project, and small tweaks after launch are usually same-day. **Do you work with businesses outside 30A?** Yes. Most of my work is on the Gulf Coast, but the process is fully remote and I build for clients well outside it. **Not sure which option fits your project?** Call me. Fifteen minutes, no pitch. You'll leave knowing exactly what your site needs, whether we build it together or not. --- ## Contact **Ryder Schilling** (Ryder Schilling LLC) Web designer and developer · Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459 Phone: +1-309-415-8793 · Email: ryder@ryderschilling.com Web: https://ryderschilling.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryder_schilling_official Serving 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Watersound, Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Inlet Beach, Panama City Beach, Destin, Walton County, the Florida Panhandle, and remote clients across the US. © 2026 Ryder Schilling LLC.
