Specialty

Where I go deep: search and accessibility.

Most of what I do is broad by design. Two things I do at specialist depth — technical SEO and ADA/WCAG compliance — and I run them as one engagement, because the same fixes move both.

  • Technical SEO

    Crawl, index, and rank the whole catalog — not just the homepage.

    • Site architecture & internal linking
    • Metadata at catalog scale
    • Schema & structured data
    • Core Web Vitals
    • Faceted-nav crawl control
  • AEO — AI visibility

    Get named when a buyer asks ChatGPT, Claude, or an AI Overview.

    • Entity & schema groundwork
    • The round-ups AI paraphrases
    • Answer-shaped content
    • Query-level visibility tracking
  • ADA & WCAG 2.1 AA

    Real remediation in the theme itself. Never an overlay widget.

    • Contrast & visible focus states
    • Full keyboard paths
    • Alt text & labeled forms
    • Screen-reader semantics
    • Audit, fix, retest
Platform

BigCommerce specialist

Stencil theme work, Script Manager deploys, catalog-scale metadata, product and collection schema, and faceted navigation that doesn't shred the crawl budget.

Buyers

Consumer and wholesale

DTC storefronts and the B2B side of the same business — customer groups, gated pricing, price lists, and dealer or practitioner accounts that search still has to find.

Why they ship together: an accessible page is a crawlable page. Semantic headings, alt text, labeled forms, and a clean focus order are the same signals a screen reader and a search crawler both read.

AgentAI

AgentAI hired me to redesign their marketing site. The original was a flat, template-green layout with a generic “AI-Powered Speed” headline that read like every other SaaS startup. I rebuilt it into a dark, cinematic experience — a bold serif-accented promise (“The first agentic billing company”), a live revenue-impact card doing the selling, and honest, measured proof in place of hype.

WeLeap

The original site leaned on a flat, template-green layout that buried the product. I rebuilt it as a dark, cinematic hero with a single sharp promise — “Meet your AI financial sidekick” — tighter typographic hierarchy, and one focused path to the waitlist.

Eye Care Billing Consultants

A dated, all-caps stock template got a full editorial redesign — an immersive ophthalmology hero, a refined serif-and-sans pairing, and specialist positioning (“Ophthalmology billing specialists”) that signals real expertise over generic medical billing.
