Fires by day.
Websites by night.

I'm Tanner: a working Maui firefighter, seven years on the job. Between shifts I build websites for small businesses. No templates, no agency runaround. You talk to the person who builds it.

Real clients, not concepts

Every business on this row is a real one that hired me. Each site was designed from scratch. If two of my sites ever look like siblings, I rebuild one.

Every site above is real client work, shown with permission. Concept builds for fictional businesses live on the Sample Designs page.

Kitchen & Bath

I own a design center with multiple categories, so my website is not easy; I think Tanner said there are over forty pages. But as I’ve told him about my business model, he’s intuitively made adjustments to the site, so what had started as excellent is now twice as good. Three weeks later, he finally received the transfer from my current hosting company, and we went live last night. Incredibly, it impacted a potential sale today. Tanner had created a clickable system that allows end users to compare cabinet doors across companies at once: Transitional, Shaker, Brown, bang, here are six to choose from! So it was very satisfying to have a client call today to and say he was on our site this morning and found the door and color he wanted. I’ve always been wordy, so here’s the tl;dr: You’re a fool if you don’t call Tanner!

Highly recommend Frontline to anyone looking to build or update their website. Tanner is a hard working guy that has great communication and is very professional. He got my website out super quick, made tweaks when needed and was really easy to work with. Great guy and great product!

Communication was 10/10. Listened to my vision and received feedback throughout the process to get the exact product (website and logo) we were looking for! Great value and you’re supporting local. As a small business owner your company is your baby. I felt that I was taken care of like family.

Why "Frontline"

Firehouse values, applied to the web

Fires, floods, ocean rescues. That's the day job. The instinct is the same in both: see the problem, show up, fix it, don't leave until it works.

  • Show up.You get my cell, not a ticket queue.
  • No surprises.Flat quotes before work starts. The price on the site is the price.
  • Built right.Accessible to WCAG AA, fast on island connections, tested on real phones.

That day job is also who I build for off island. I make websites for volunteer and career fire departments across the mainland at madeyouawebsite.com.
