Hey, I'm Austin. I build websites for the love of it.
Custom, professional websites for businesses — without the massive agency price tag. Every site is built for your business, not a cookie-cutter template with a logo swapped out. And if you can imagine it? There's a good chance I can build it.
Austin placed in the top 1%.
In July 2026, Base44 hosted a worldwide builder competition. Out of 1.28 million web designers who each submitted one build, Austin's work ranked in the top 1% — judged on Customization, Utilization, UI, UX, Practicality, Functionality, and Integrations.
Plus "Maker" status in the Base44 Partner Program — a badge that says Austin builds at a level most don't reach.
Don't just take my word for it.
"Austin built our booking site in a week. We went from 'DM me to order' to actually taking orders in our sleep. Game changer."
So, what can I build? Short answer: a lot.
I don't just build websites — I specialize in the custom functionality that makes them actually do things. Here's a taste, but honestly, if you've got an idea, just ask.
Online Booking
Let people book appointments, classes, or services right on your site — synced to your calendar, no back-and-forth.
Payments & Checkout
Take payments, sell products, run subscriptions. Stripe-backed, with logic that fits how you actually charge.
Customer Portals
Logged-in dashboards where your customers see orders, files, subscriptions, and account stuff — gated by role.
Memberships
Paid or free memberships with tiers, gated content, and member-only areas. Run your own little club.
Automations
When something happens, do the next thing automatically — new lead? Notify the team. Paid invoice? Grant access.
API Integrations
Hook your site up to the software you already use. CRMs, accounting, scheduling, shipping — if it has an API, I can talk to it.
Smart Forms
Forms that actually do something — route leads, save to your database, trigger emails, kick off workflows.
Scheduling
Availability rules, buffers, reminders, time zones. Scheduling that respects your time and your clients'.
E-commerce
Full stores with carts, inventory, shipping, taxes, and discounts — or just a single product. Your call.
Subscriptions
Recurring billing, trials, upgrades, downgrades. The whole subscription lifecycle, handled cleanly.
Admin Dashboards
A back office built for you — see orders, users, reports, and run your business without fighting your tools.
Got a wild idea?
If it's not on this list, even better. Tell me what you're imagining and I'll tell you if I can make it real (I probably can).
Bring it to meNice and simple. No fine print.
I started The Tip Jar Project because businesses shouldn't need a massive budget to have a website that looks incredible and actually works. Here's the whole process.
You tell me what you need
No jargon required. Just tell me what you're after — what your business does, what you want the site to do. I'll listen and ask the right questions.
I give you a straight price
One upfront number. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no agency markup. You know exactly what it costs before I write a line of code.
I build it
Custom design, real integrations, the functionality you asked for — built from scratch for your business, not a template in disguise.
We review & launch
You look it over, we make the tweaks, and when you're happy, we ship it. Your site goes live and starts working for you.
The Tip Jar way.
Custom design. Powerful functionality. Straightforward pricing. That's it. No confusing hourly billing, no surprise invoices, no unnecessary agency markup — just a fair price for real work.
Keep your site sharp for $50 a month.
A simple retainer for sites I've already built — so you're never stuck with something outdated. Send me the change, I make it. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
What's covered
Any and all content & styling changes
New photos, logos, banners, or graphics — just send them over.
Change wording, prices, hours, bios, headlines — anything that's written.
Rearrange, relabel, or re-link buttons and CTAs to fit your flow.
Adjust spacing, colors, sections, and styling so it always looks right.
Small ongoing changes to keep your site current as your business grows.
One flat rate. Cancel anytime. Only for websites I've built for you.

These are project work, not retainer tweaks
- New API integrations or connecting new third-party software
- Brand-new pages or major new sections built from scratch
- New functionality (booking systems, portals, stores, automations)
- Full redesigns or rebuilds of an existing site
- Custom development work that goes beyond content & styling tweaks
Need something from this list? No worries — I'll quote it as a small project at my usual fair, fixed price.
Let's talk about your project.
Think of this like a chat with a friend who happens to build websites for a living. A few quick questions and you're done — no forms that feel like a tax return.
Quick one before we dive in — are you in the United States? I only work with US-based folks.
