About
A little bit about us.
My name is Thomas Klein — a software engineer who would rather work with a handful of small business owners for years than sell a hundred websites once. Most of the people I work with run service businesses: pressure washing, window cleaning, landscaping. They are excellent at the job and were never meant to spend their evenings fighting with Google.
I have worked behind the counter at a local bike shop here in Rochester, so I know what running a small business actually looks like from the inside — thin margins, long days, and no spare hour for working out what Google wants from you.
My wife Monisha and I take on a small number of these partnerships at a time, on purpose. When you call, you get the person who built it.
We are currently in the Philippines at IGSL — the International Graduate School of Leadership — training in biblical studies and discipleship. Client work carries on from here, on the same timelines as always.
What I actually do for you
Everything that gets a local business found and called: the website, the Google listing, the local search work, the photos, the reviews. One monthly fee, no build cost, and changes whenever you need them. See what is included
A partner, not a vendor
A website handed over on launch day and never touched again is worth almost nothing — and it is what most owners have already paid for once. I would rather be the person still working on your business in year three, paid a little each month, with every reason to keep your phone ringing.
I build serious software too
Alongside this I build real products — including Ruta, the platform a landscaping company runs its whole operation on, and apps on the App Store. It is why I understand your trade, and why the technical side of your site is in good hands. My work
Free websites for ministries
Ministries, missionaries raising support, and churches get the site built for free* — the same work a paying client gets. It is one of the ways this business goes toward the advance of the gospel. Our mission
* My time is the donation. The running costs — the domain name, hosting, and any outside service the site depends on — stay with you, billed to you directly.
