Independent by design · Est. 2001
I build websites for independent escorts, companions and adult-industry businesses. I've been doing it for 25 years, and I'm the one who'll design, build and look after your site.
Demonstration — not client work
01 — Then and now
Drag the handle. On the left is skipsweb.com as the Internet Archive captured it in September 2012. On the right is the site you're reading now. Same business, still me, fourteen years later.
Left: http://www.skipsweb.com/, captured 2012-09-20 (view the archived page (opens web.archive.org in a new tab)). Right: this site, captured at the same 1280×900 viewport.
02 — What I do
Four services that fit together, and I do all of them myself. Pick one, or have me handle all four.
01
I design each site around your brand, your boundaries and the way you actually work, starting from a blank page every time.
02
Hosting where you won't be suspended at the first complaint. I take care of the updates, certificates and backups.
03
Technical and on-page work for an industry that's locked out of most advertising. I'll tell you up front what can't be promised.
04
Screening workflows, galleries, availability, and a content manager that I build to fit the way you already work.
03 — Why work with me
A lot of web designers in this industry have come and gone. I'm still here, and you can check: the whole history is on the public record, including the parts that have aged badly.
04 — The archive
skipsweb.com has been a design studio, a city directory, a Flash site, a WordPress shop and a search engine, in that order. Select any screenshot to open it full size.

05 — How it works
There's no long proposal to sign off on. We talk, I build it, you check it, and it goes live.
What you do, who you want to reach, what you need the site to handle, and what you'd rather it never showed.
You see real pages in your browser instead of a flat mockup. I expect changes at this stage and don't charge for them.
On your phone, on your laptop, with your real content. We fix whatever feels wrong before anyone else sees it.
I handle hosting, updates, backups and changes afterwards. The number you call to start the project is the one you'll call two years on.
Start your website
Tell me what you have in mind and I'll tell you straight what it would take. There's no obligation to go ahead.
You'll be talking to me.
I reply to every message myself, and I'm the one who builds and looks after your site. There's no account manager or reseller in between. I've been building sites for this industry since 2001.
