Developer. Founder. Builder.
Every day without an optimized digital presence is revenue you're not capturing.
I'm a developer and founder based in Covington, WA. I build websites, conversion systems, and AI tools for businesses serious about growth — serving Washington, Oregon, and remote clients nationwide.
I started Dott Designs after noticing the same gap everywhere — great businesses with digital presences that didn't match the quality of what they actually do. That's the problem I solve.
Outside of work I'm into fitness, investing, and traveling when I can. I believe the same discipline it takes to build something real applies everywhere.

Common questions.
I build websites optimized to show up where your customers are searching — Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI. I also build the systems that turn visitors into leads. Booking forms, quote flows, client dashboards. Everything a business needs to run and grow online.
I design, build, and launch custom websites. No templates, no page builders. Every site is coded specifically for your business, optimized for search from day one, and built to add more capability as you grow.
Your customers are searching for what you offer right now. If your business isn't showing up — on Google, in AI search results, on maps — someone else is getting that customer. A well-built site closes that gap.
No. Instagram is rented space — the algorithm controls who sees you. A website is yours. It works 24/7, shows up in search results, and builds authority over time. Instagram cannot replicate that.
Every project is scoped after a free consultation. I price based on what the business actually needs — not a fixed package. There are no surprise invoices and no retainers you didn't agree to.
AI can generate a site. It cannot research your competitors, structure your content for search, build your booking flow, or optimize for AI discovery. The tools are only as good as the strategy behind them.
Traditional SEO takes time. AI search is different. Raining Ink Tattoo, a client site built by Dott Designs, is currently the #1 recommendation on ChatGPT when someone searches for a tattoo shop in Maple Valley. That is the advantage of building for GEO from day one.
A well-built, properly optimized site puts your business in front of people actively searching for what you offer. Raining Ink Tattoo is being recommended by ChatGPT as the #1 result to anyone searching for a tattoo shop in Maple Valley, Washington. That is a direct pipeline to new clients.
It depends on what your business needs — and that is exactly what we determine in the consultation. Some sites run independently with a client dashboard you control. Others benefit from active management. Some need nothing more than occasional updates. Every engagement is structured around what makes sense for your operation.
What I build with.
React framework for fast, SEO-optimized sites
Next.js 14 is a React-based web framework built for production. It generates server-rendered, SEO-optimized pages that load fast and are fully readable by Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Every Dott Designs site is built on Next.js 14 for maximum search visibility and performance.
Utility-first styling for pixel-perfect design
Tailwind CSS is a utility-first styling framework that produces clean, lightweight code. Sites built with Tailwind load faster, score higher on Google PageSpeed, and deliver a consistent experience across all devices and screen sizes.
Smooth, accessible animations
Framer Motion is the animation library used on every Dott Designs build. It enables smooth, performant transitions and scroll-triggered interactions that increase time-on-page — a direct factor in search engine ranking.
Database and auth for forms and dashboards
Supabase is a PostgreSQL database platform with built-in authentication and row-level security. It powers the booking forms, quote systems, lead capture tools, and client dashboards built into every Dott Designs site.
Edge deployment with instant global delivery
Vercel is the deployment platform behind every Dott Designs site. It delivers sub-second load times through global edge caching, automatic SSL, and instant deployment — all of which directly impact Google search ranking.
Type-safe code across every project
TypeScript is a strongly-typed programming language that eliminates runtime errors before they reach production. Every Dott Designs build uses TypeScript to ensure the codebase is stable, maintainable, and ready to scale.
