About
Hi, I’m Ryan, an experienced full-time WordPress web developer and UX/UI designer located in St. Louis, MO.
I specialize in website redesigns for established content creators primarily in the food, lifestyle, and fashion niches.
I also offer ongoing WordPress support & maintenance plans.
I’m passionate about helping publishers like you reach your goals and level up your website with the best reader experience possible. This includes design/dev, usability best practices, technical SEO, performance (site speed), mobile responsiveness, and accessibility optimization.
From my experience, when you think of the user first, giving them the best experience possible, this leaves you free to focus on your content so that search engine rankings and traffic follow organically.
Introducing Townhouse
Big news! My wife, Tyler, who has been working with me on the graphic design side of some recent redesigns is coming on board in a larger role.
Our new boutique agency website (bytownhouse.com) is coming soon to showcase our new and improved offerings.
“Ryan, I just wanted to thank you for a great year! Your support and knowledge has been an integral part of this great business year, and I really appreciate you, your wife, and what y’all do. From taking me on as a new client before the site redesign through the whole design process to the monthly care reports, answering my questions, your awesome videos, and putting my mind at ease when I’m panicked, you have been awesome every step of the way. Thank you so much. You are really good at what you do.”

Now that I have some help, I also plan to delve more into the SEO consulting side of things. Something I have tons of experience in, but has taken a backseat to design, development, and technical support.
Your website partner
If you’re a solopreneur, you might not have the resources for in-house web designers and developers. So, you likely need an agency or consultants you can trust to help make your business shine online and take care of the technical stuff.
“After a frustrating four-month search for an experienced WordPress developer, I was relieved to find Ryan. He is a super-skilled developer and a talented designer—an ideal combo.“

Very Good Cook
We work with established mid-tier bloggers who monetize their site with ads and/or other methods. My clients generate between 50K – 4MM pageviews per month, each.
We also work with the majority of my clients on an ongoing basis keeping their websites running smoothly, helping them continue taking their sites further, and available should anything go sideways technically.
“Ryan has been an absolute joy to work with. He is fast to resolve any tech issues that come up on my site and is always looking for ways to better my pagespeed. He listens to my goals for my business and website and executes with ease, always exceeding my expectations!“
