— About

I'm Tom. I build websites for the businesses I see every day.

I've spent fifteen-plus years writing software for big companies — the kind of places where a website launch takes nine months and four committees. I've also watched local businesses I love struggle with sites that don't load, don't work, and embarrass them in front of their customers.

Missouri.dev is what happens when you take that experience and apply it to your auto shop, your bakery, your law office. No middleman. No reseller. Just me — drawing it up, building it, and answering the phone when something needs to change.

— What you get
01

A site that loads in under a second

Your customers are on phones, in the car, with bad signal at the gas station. Fast wins. Always.

02

Real Google rankings

Built so search engines actually understand what you do. Local SEO baked in — not bolted on.

03

A human who answers

You'll have my cell number. Need a holiday hour change at 9pm? Text me. I'll fix it tonight.

Let's talkquoted per project

Hosting after year one: $15/month — that includes me keeping it patched, backed up, and online.

— How it works

Three steps. That's it.

1

We talk.

A 30-minute phone call or coffee in Columbia. Tell me about your business, your customers, what you wish your current site did. No commitment, no sales pitch.

2

I build it.

I'll send a draft within a week. We'll go through it together. You tell me what to change. I change it. Repeat until it's exactly what you want.

3

You launch.

Site goes live. I take care of hosting, backups, and security updates. You start getting calls. When something needs to change, you text me.

— A note
This page itself is the proof. If you like how it reads, how it scrolls, how it feels — that's what your customers will get on yours.
— Yours sincerely, Tom
— Get in touch

Let's build something.

Email me with what you've got and what you need. I'll reply within a day — usually within an hour. No forms, no funnels, no salesman.
