How I Work
I build websites you actually own.
I'm Walid, a web developer and designer in New Orleans. I build custom sites for small businesses. No page builders. No monthly rent on software you'll never own. Just hand-coded work that's actually yours.
Why I build this way.
Honestly? I started doing this because the alternative bugged me. I kept running into small businesses paying Wix every month for a site they didn't even own. Then waiting a week just to change a phone number. Every tiny edit was a fight, and they paid for it.
Agencies aren't much better. They overcharge and hand you a template you're then locked into. A local shop deserves the same quality as a company with a design team. A site that loads fast and still holds up a few years later.
“Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
So I build everything custom, by hand. I cut anything that isn't pulling its weight. Less code means a faster site that's easier to keep running. And since I'm bilingual in English and Arabic, I can build for clients a lot of developers can't reach.
Small businesses deserve great websites.
The whole reason I do this
The Work
The whole stack
I handle the whole build, from design to shipping.
The Front End
The part people see and use. Fast, accessible interfaces that work on every screen, from a one-page site to a full web app.
The Back End
The engine behind it. APIs, databases, and server logic that stay reliable as a business grows.
Shipping & Upkeep
Getting it live and keeping it that way. Clean deploys, sane tooling, and no shortcuts that break six months later.
What I stand for
Own it, don't rent it.
You own the code and the domain. No subscription holding your business hostage, no platform you can't walk away from.

Bilingual by default.
English and Arabic. I build for the clients and communities a lot of developers can't reach.
Fast on purpose.
Every site loads quick and stays quick, long after launch day.
