About Designed by Anthony
Built with discipline.
Designed for real business growth.
I'm Anthony, a Marine Corps veteran and former technical sales professional who now builds custom websites for service businesses. I know what the buyer on the other side of the screen is looking for, because I spent years being that person.
Studio promise
You work with the builder — not a rotating cast of accounts people.
One person owns your site from discovery to launch. The stack is lean and fast (static-first Astro, structured data, Core Web Vitals discipline) so you get speed and search clarity without paying for layers you do not need.
The Marine Corps taught me what high standards actually look like
In the Marine Corps, "good enough" doesn't exist. You ship clean, you execute with precision, and you don't hand something off until it's right. I carry that into every website I build. If something isn't working the way it should, I don't move on. I fix it.
That is not a value I market. It is the only way I know how to operate. Some clients notice it immediately. Others notice it six months later when their site is still fast, still ranking, and still converting while their competitor's site has already started falling apart.
I know how buyers make decisions because I was one
Before web design, I spent years in technical sales. My job was to understand what decision-makers actually cared about, cut through the noise, and make the case clearly and quickly. I learned that buyers don't read brochures. They scan for trust signals. They look for proof. They need a reason to believe you in the first five seconds.
That knowledge is baked into every site I build. The copy, the layout, and the calls to action are all structured around how a real potential customer moves through a page and decides whether to call or click away.
Why I focus on service businesses
Contractors, plumbers, roofers, landscapers, and cleaners are businesses built on real skills and hard work. Most of them are losing jobs every week to competitors with worse service but a better website. That shouldn't happen.
A great website doesn't mean paying $10,000 for a bloated WordPress site that needs constant updates and still loads slow on a phone. It means a fast, focused site that shows up on Google, loads instantly, and makes it easy for a homeowner to call you. That's what I build.
No outsourcing. No templates. No surprises.
When you work with me, you work with me. I write the code, I do the design, I handle the SEO setup, and I talk to you directly when something needs to change. There's no account manager who passes messages between us, no overseas team you've never spoken to, and no surprises after you've paid the deposit.
You see the site before it goes live. You sign off before a dollar is paid on delivery. And you will not hear fluff like "synergistic digital ecosystems," just a straight answer about what your site needs.
The Process
What it looks like to work with me.
Free audit before any money is discussed
You send your URL, I run the audit, and you get a straight report within 24 hours. No deposit, no commitment.
Projects quoted based on what the audit finds
The quote reflects the actual scope — not a generic price list. You know exactly what you are paying for before anything starts.
50% down to start, 50% at launch after approval
Simple payment structure. No surprise charges. The second half is not due until you sign off on the final site.
You see the site before it goes live
Most projects wrap in a few weeks. You get a full preview, request changes, and nothing launches until you say it is ready.
