Hello & Welcome

Hi there—I’m Nathan Smith, and I build websites that work as hard as you do. Based in Cache Valley, Utah, I help small businesses and professionals throughout the Rocky Mountains bring their ideas online with zero fuss.

Whether you're looking for:
  • A simple site to showcase your business
  • An online store to sell your products
  • A fully custom site built just for you
…I’ve got you covered. I’ll handle everything—from designing a site that looks great on phones and desktops to making sure it loads fast, stays secure, and is easy for you to update. That way, you can keep doing what you do best while your website works behind the scenes.

    I'm a full-stack developer, although there's a special place in my heart-shaped processing unit for front-end frameworks and responsive design. I love tinkering around with CSS and JavaScript.

Analog Life

When I step away from building web applications, you’ll find me weightlifting at the gym or hiking in the surrounding foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, where we can assume I’ll be stalked by cougars and tabbies alike.

I also volunteer as a math and science tutor, and I can make a mean salsa with home-grown serranos.
