WEB DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT
Skilled in web development across fully-coded environments as well as the popular site builders like Wix, WordPress, Hostinger, Shopify, Square, and Squarespace. No matter the platform, the approach stays the same: build it clean, make it sing, and deliver exactly what the design calls for.
When a builder reaches its limits, custom CSS steps in to handle any layout or decorative element that needs a heavier hand.
Once a site is live, the work doesn't stop there. From on-page SEO and local search optimization to security hardening and ongoing maintenance, nearly every aspect of a site's long-term health is covered under one roof. No need to juggle multiple vendors or explain your vision to someone new.
Every visual element on a custom site is designed from scratch using professional UI software before a single line of code is written. Backgrounds, headers, footers, buttons, navigation, and animations are all built specifically for your brand and do not exist anywhere else on the internet. Nothing is pulled from a stock library or recycled from a template. What you get is a cohesive, fully original digital presence where every detail was made with your business in mind.
Most website builders hand you a library of pre-made buttons, hover effects, and interactive components shared by millions of other sites. When you choose a template, you're choosing from the same shelf everyone else is shopping from. The interactive elements on my custom-built sites are written from the ground up, coded by hand to behave, move, and feel exactly the way your brand demands. No shared libraries, no recycled interaction patterns, no "close enough." Every button, animation, transition, and hover state is an original piece of functional design built specifically for one client.

TAMBAY Mergers & Acquisitions entered the market as a new player in a field dominated by firms with decades of history. The broker's move into M&A was a natural evolution, as much of his commercial real estate work already revolved around businesses tied to the properties he was selling. Cutting out the middleman made sense, and his deep background in valuation and commercial sales meant he hit the ground running. The challenge wasn't his credibility; it was his visibility. The goal was to build a website that announced his arrival with the same authority as firms that had been in the game for 30 years, and then get that site ranking on page one of Google against those same established competitors.
The TAMBAY brand identity was built on a deliberate color theory decision rooted in market research. When studying the M&A industry, a clear pattern emerged: the largest, most established firms in the space had remarkably plain visual identities. Simple serif fonts, two or three muted primaries, nothing bold or expressive. That restraint works for a firm with 40 years of closed deals behind its name. Reputation carries the weight that design doesn't have to. TAMBAY didn't have that runway yet, so the visual identity had to do more work.
Every element outside the navigation was built from scratch in Affinity Designer. The beveled gold logo treatment, the custom contact icons, and the dimensional "Book Your Free Valuation" button were all original assets designed to carry the black and gold identity from the first pixel. No stock elements, no Wix defaults. A visitor lands on this page and immediately has two ways to reach Tom before they read a single word of copy.
The mobile header strips things down without losing the brand. The logo, a tappable phone icon, and a tappable email icon stay front and center for immediate contact. The hamburger menu opens into a full immersive experience rather than a basic dropdown, keeping the gold and black identity intact at every screen size.
The Header
The Footer
The footer mirrors the header's intent: every way to reach the team is visible before the visitor leaves the page. Custom navigation bar, contact icons, social links, CTA button, and an embedded map all built from scratch to close the experience the same way it opened.
The mobile footer keeps every critical touchpoint accessible on the smallest screen. Navigation, contact icons, logo, broker credentials, and a tappable address are all stacked cleanly without losing the gold and black identity that carries through the entire experience.
He also wanted the site built on Wix so he could manage and navigate it himself without relying on a developer for every small update. That was a reasonable ask, but it added a layer to the challenge. Wix is a capable platform, but it doesn't offer the creative freedom of a custom coded build or even WordPress with Elementor. Working within those constraints while still delivering something that looked nothing like a standard Wix site required pushing the platform further than it was designed to go, compensating with fully custom assets wherever the builder fell short.
