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 page builders, 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.

September 2026 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!

Straight work, straight prices

Every price below is real and on the pricing page. You'll never hear "it depends" twice in one call.

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.
