About bit more about me — your local web developer.

Hi, I'm Austin Fierst, and I'm passionate about helping small businesses in Vancouver and beyond create websites that truly represent who they are. As a Vancouver native and a graduate of Washington State University Vancouver (BA in Digital Technology, minor in Computer Science), I'm deeply invested in the local business community.

I've seen firsthand how many small businesses struggle with generic, cookie-cutter websites built on website builders. These templates often fail to capture the unique essence of a business, leaving a bland and forgettable impression. That's why I'm dedicated to crafting custom, hand-coded websites that are as unique as the businesses they represent.

My skillset encompasses a wide range of technologies, including front-end development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React), back-end development (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, API integration), CMS integration, SEO optimization, and e-commerce integration. This allows me to build robust, scalable, and results-driven websites tailored to each client's specific needs.

I'm committed to open communication and collaboration throughout the entire web development process. Let's talk about your vision and how I can help bring it to life online.

Let's grow, together.
