You Work Directly With the Developer
I'm David Strickland, an independent Portland-area web developer. Before building websites I spent over a decade writing software for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, where code that breaks is not an option. I bring that same standard to every small business site I build.
There's no account manager and no hand-off to a junior. The person you talk to on the first call is the person who writes your code and answers when you need a change.
