Chad Lewine – Web Developer

No fuss, all frills. Expert website designer and SEO pro for authors and books. #1 USA Reedsy Web Designer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overview

Congrats on your new (or existing) book! I look forward to hearing about it and building or working on your website. In today's digital age, books and reading and more important than ever. I'm passionate about doing my part in maintaining this part of society and civilization.


Key selling points:


• I work with any genre

• Fully transparent

• One of the fastest designers on the marketplace

• Works with most budgets

• I make web design concepts and processes easy to understand


I have been active online since I was nine years old. You could say I’m part of a digital latchkey generation - one of the first to grow up completely immersed in the web, albeit the early stages of it. I designed and sold my first website in 2002 for $75. I was 12 years old. The internet is second nature to me. I worked at an agency in NYC for a brief period but have been fully freelance since 2011. I've consulted and designed for start ups, national brands, and non profits.


Navigating the web design world can be overwhelming, contradictory and downright scammy. Lots of my clients find their way to me after trying fancy agencies, offshore cheapies or other freelancers, but were continually left unsatisfied or ripped off. I know the cycle very well. When I engage with a client, we work together to solve their website woes and increase their faith in humanity. Well, faith in web designers at least.


Strength in client relations, business acumen and technical web design and marketing skill allow me to help my clients understand their digital marketing initiatives in down-to-Earth, non-techie language and concepts.


Additionally, I’m fully transparent; no-nonsense or beating around the bush. I'm highly communicative and direct. I don’t answer questions with boiler plate responses and I don’t make promises without all the info.


Let's give your work the showcase it deserves. Send me your brief today! I always reply within 24 working hours.


Looking forward to meeting you,

Chad

Hello. I’m Chad. I build websites for small businesses. I’ve been building them all my life. A website is a property you own and control. It’s different from social media. You don’t own that. You’ll always need a website. I build them. Let’s build a virtual homebase for your books.

I could not rate Chad more highly! He was nearly immediate in his responsiveness. He used his expertise and experience to provide suggestions which were invaluable and saved me a lot of time. He had an artist's eye and a technicians skill. Five star all the way!
