I tell clients to show the real people behind their business. So here's mine, laid out the way Google reads trust.

- EExpertise

- TTrust

Training certificates
Six courses, 25+ hours of training, each one verifiable on Uxcel.
Every website is a mission.
A landing page is built like a rocket. The hero gets it off the ground, social proof builds trust, services carry the weight, and the call to action is the payload. Scroll through how a mission comes together, from T-minus 12 weeks to orbit.
- T-12 weeks
Step 1 Discovery kickoff
We start with your business, not your homepage: who you serve, what a good lead looks like, and what the site has to do. Then I map the pages and the path a visitor takes to call, book or buy.
- T-10 weeks
Step 2 Design
Layouts, type and color in your brand, with real copy written for your customers. You see actual pages, and we refine them together.
- T-7 weeks
Step 3 Build
Custom WordPress or Shopify, built from the approved design. Fast, mobile first, easy for you to update, with a strong focus on accessibility.
- T-3 weeks
Step 4 Feedback and testing
You review everything on a private staging site while I test forms, speed, devices and tracking, so nothing surprises us on launch day.
- T-0
Step 5 Launch
We go live on your domain, redirect the old pages so your search rankings carry over, and confirm every form lands where it should.
- T+ every month
Step 6 Maintenance and support
Launch day is the start, not the finish line. Updates, monitoring, monthly reports, and steady improvements based on what visitors actually do.
“He not only took the time to learn about both me and my business, he also checked in and let me give input every step of the process.”
Missions flown.

Proactive, not reactive.
Launch is where the real flying starts. I watch what visitors actually do, and when something drops, we find out why before it costs you a season. Try it: the feed below just raised an alarm.

Your move. What would you do?
“My website has helped drive traffic to my storefront and has given my company exposure in cities beyond my own.”
Rockets don't launch without a cleared crew. Neither do websites.
Google looks for real, credible people behind a website: Experience, Expertise, Authority and, most of all, Trust. Enter your site and run the same pre-flight check I run before every launch.
The full Pre-flight Check is still in the hangar. It launches soon as a Movy Media tool. In the meantime, send me your site and I'll look it over myself.
Send it to me“Cevan from Movy Media audited our website and provided a detailed report on design and technical issues.”
“He not only provided what I can improve upon but explained why as well.”
Flight record.
The long version: how I got here, and what clients say about working together.
Mission logs
- 2006
First footage
A Kodak point-and-shoot for Christmas, duct-taped to a dirt bike helmet. I was 11. That camera taught me the rule I still build by: you have about three seconds to earn someone's attention.
- 2012
Gamers Vault
My first website: a video game guide and forum.
- 2013
The prom proposal
I asked my prom date with a website I built, countdown and all. Conversion rate: 100 percent. We're married now, with two kids.
Rebuilt from the original 2013 files - 2017
University of Rhode Island
Business and film degrees, then an MBA in Strategic Innovation, with live projects for real companies.
- 2019
Movy Media liftoff
Websites for small businesses, designed, launched and managed from day one: hosting, updates and monthly improvements in one plan, never handed off and forgotten.
- 2020
Going remote
When the world moved online, so did every small business that had been putting off its website. Video calls replaced coffee meetings, and my client list stopped ending at the Connecticut line.
- 2022
Coast to coast
Clients from California to the Carolinas, from fastener suppliers to auto detailers.
- 2023
Conversion first
Every build now starts with one question: what should a visitor do next, and what's stopping them?
- 2025
Mission control gets a crew
A dedicated designer joined, so more builds could launch without losing the attention to detail.
- 2026
Shopify, unlocked
Client requests turned into a new specialty: Shopify storefronts with the same design and conversion approach as everything else I build.
