I'm Rick Ortiz. I was born and raised in Belleville, and for more than 20 years I've been building websites for local businesses. I'm still here answering the phone for the people I built them for.
Years ago, I was the director of a local non-profit. One of my first jobs was to sign off on our new website and write the final check to the agency that built it. They had promised to support us with the constant updates and calendar events our programs depended on.
I handed the check to our web designer. Then he disappeared. No returned calls, no updates, no help.
Someone still had to keep that website running, so I went looking for help. A local IT guru, part Obi-Wan Kenobi and part Mr. Miyagi, refused to just show me which buttons to push. He insisted I learn to code.
I loved it. Before long I was building websites for other local businesses, and I've been doing it ever since.
The promise I made to those first clients is the same one I make today. Plenty of web companies chase the big check for the design and then vanish. I stick around and make your website a living part of your business plan, one that keeps growing and evolving as your business does.
Belleville pricing for small and mid-sized businesses, with work that stands up to any St. Louis agency.
Updates, questions, fixes. You call me and you get me. That's been true since day one.
Your website is part of your business plan. It should grow and change as your business does.
I was born and raised in Belleville, and I've raised my family here and in the St. Louis area. This is my community, and the businesses I work with are my neighbors.
Between website sessions, you'll probably find me walking Apollo, my Belgian Malinois / Dutch Shepherd, through downtown Belleville. If you see us, say hello.
