It's a fast-moving industry, stay up-to-date.

It can be hard to keep up — I’m still learning new things every day. Make it easier by signing up for my hand-written newsletters. And don’t worry, I hate spam just as much as you and will NEVER share your information with anyone.

👋  Howdy! My name is Ben Marshall & I’ve been developing websites for over 20 years. I specialize in WordPress development, SEO strategy & LOVE what I do. Familiar with CSS-Tricks? … you should be, my site’s design was heavily inspired by it — hope you like it.

I build websites for both small mom & pop shops to large Fortune 500 companies. In addition to freelance work, I also have a full-time position at the New York-based Entermedia agency. Need a site, help with an existing one or a boost in search engines? I’m your guy, contact me today!

Are you a non-profit or organization helping the community and in need of a site? I offer heavily discounted services — sometimes free — to worthy causes.

But wait… there's more.
