Why I Started GSL Design

I started building websites in 2003 because I saw local businesses paying too much for sites that didn't work. Twenty years later, the problem is worse. Agencies charge $15K for template installs. Freelancers ghost after launch. AI tools spit out generic pages that all look the same. GSL Design exists because Yuma businesses deserve better than that.

How I Think About Websites

Your website isn't a brochure. It's a machine. Every page has a job — attract the right visitor, answer their questions, earn their trust, and move them toward picking up the phone or filling out a form. If a page doesn't do that job, it gets rebuilt until it does.

What Working With Me Looks Like

You'll have my cell number. You'll get weekly progress updates. You'll review every design before it goes to code. And when your site launches, I don't disappear. I monitor performance, fix what needs fixing, and help you grow. That's not a pitch. That's how every project works.

Our Clients Say It Best.

Common Questions

Yes. I'm the designer, developer, and strategist. For specialized needs like copywriting, photography, or complex backend work, I bring in trusted partners I've worked with for years. But I manage every project personally and I'm your single point of contact throughout.

I take on a limited number of projects at a time — typically three to four active builds. This lets me give each client focused attention instead of spreading thin. If my calendar is full, I'll be upfront about timeline rather than overpromise.

I'm based in Yuma and know this market deeply, but I work with clients across Arizona and nationwide. About 40% of my projects are outside the Yuma area. Geography doesn't limit what we can build together.

When you hire a Phoenix agency, you get a salesperson, then an account manager, then a junior designer. By the time your project ships, five people have touched it and none of them are who sold you. With me, the person who listens is the person who builds. Every time.

I work with realistic budgets. A quality custom site starts at $2,000. If that's not in range right now, I'm happy to suggest alternatives or phase the project over time. I'd rather give you honest guidance than sell you something that won't deliver.

I've been a Shopify Partner, Google Analytics certified, and WordPress developer since the early days. But frankly, the best credential is the work itself. My portfolio shows 200+ live projects with measurable results. That's more telling than any badge.

Discovery call (free, 15 minutes) → strategy brief → wireframes → visual design → your approval → development → testing → launch. You review and approve at every stage. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.

Because accountability is built in. There's no one to pass the blame to. If something isn't right, it's on me, and I fix it. That kind of ownership is exactly why clients stay for 10+ years.
