Services
Custom web development for Tampa Bay businesses
Four things we do every day: build new websites and web apps, connect the tools you already use, rescue sites that have gone off course, and keep them maintained.
“We'd rather tell you no upfront than take a job we can't finish well.” Article IV, enforced
Who we build for
- Contractors and trades with booking headaches
- Professional services needing client portals
- Retail and hospitality with broken checkout flows
- Anyone inheriting a site nobody can explain
Cannon Work
Connecting your tools
Payments, scheduling, email, inventory, CRM. We wire the systems you already pay for so your crew stops retyping the same thing twice.
Stripe · Square · Zapier alternatives · custom APIs
Salvage Operations
Website rescue
Inherited a site nobody understands? Slow, outdated, or held together with rope and prayer? We refloat it and make it seaworthy again.
Migrations · performance audits · security patches
Keeping Her Seaworthy
Care & upkeep
Updates, backups, monitoring, and speed — on a steady schedule, with a real human to call when something breaks.
Monthly retainers · SLA response · emergency flares
Our process
How a project runs, start to finish
Every project follows the same four steps, so you always know where things stand — what's done, what's next, and what it costs.
Bearing N — Chart
Chart the course
A conversation about what you need, a written scope in plain English, and a fixed price. No hidden reefs.
Bearing E — Build
Lay the keel
Short build sprints with a working preview you can click through from the first week. Feedback while there's still time to steer.
Bearing S — Launch
Set sail
Launch day is calm by design. We cut over with no downtime and stand watch through the first swells.
Bearing W — After
Stay the course
After launch, we can stay aboard for upkeep, improvements, and the occasional emergency flare.
Our promise
How we work with you — in writing
Four commitments we make on every job, so you know exactly what you're getting from your web developer.
Your website, your accounts, your data — all yours. We are crew, not captors. No hostage websites, ever.
Updates in plain language on a steady rhythm. If the ship takes on water, you hear it from us first.
Proven, dependable technology over the shiny and cursed. Your site should outlast the trends.
Estimates are honest or they are nothing. We'd rather lose a job than sink one.
Let's talk about your project
Tell us what you're building, what's broken, or what you've inherited. We reply within one business day — sooner if it's urgent — with honest next steps and a fixed-price quote.
