Modern WebworksWeb design studio
I design websites that earn a second look, then a click.
Modern Webworks builds custom sites for founders, performers, and small to medium-sized businesses who are tired of looking like a template. One designer, real craft, no bloat.

Mockups & Concepts
Full interactive previews — open one and click around, it's the real build, not a screenshot.
Every mockup below is a fictional concept built to show range and craft — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or linked to any real person, business, or brand.
Dee Vasquez‑Okafor
A stand-up comedian's touring site — dates, specials, press, and merch built around a warm, poster-flyer identity.
Nova Reign
A five-page artist site for a genre-blurring hip-hop/R&B act — a literal split-screen identity built around the duality of her sound.
Next project
More mockups land here as they're built — each with its own preview link.
What I offer
Services
Every engagement is scoped and built by the same person who's talking to you now.
Site design
A full custom design for your site — typography, color, layout, and copy direction built around what your brand actually is, not a theme it gets stuffed into.
Mockups & concepts
Clickable, real-code mockups you can preview before committing to a full build — useful for pitching investors, partners, or your own gut check.
Build & launch
From approved design to a live, responsive site — hand-built HTML/CSS or a framework build, hosted and handed off with source files.
Refresh & refit
Already have a site that feels dated? A scoped redesign that keeps what works and replaces what doesn't — no full rebuild required.

About
Small studio, direct line to the person building your site.
Modern Webworks is a one-person design practice. No account managers, no handoffs between departments — the person who designs your site is the person who builds it and answers your email.
Most projects start as a mockup: a real, clickable preview built before any commitment, so you know exactly what you're getting before a single hour is billed toward the full build.
Good design gets out of the way. Great design makes someone stop scrolling.
Every site is hand-built — no page-builder plugins, no bloated frameworks bolted on for features nobody uses. Just clean, fast, considered work.
FAQ
Questions clients actually ask.
What types of businesses do you work with?
I offer web design services with a focus on creating responsive, SEO-friendly sites tailored to your business needs. I support a wide range of clients, from professional services like dentists and attorneys to home services firms like HVAC companies and plumbers. I combine visually appealing design with effective SEO strategy to make sure your site stands out and drives results for your business.
How do you ensure my website will be SEO-friendly?
I start with keyword research, then optimize on-page elements like meta tags, headers, and page structure. I also focus on mobile responsiveness and fast load times, since both affect search rankings directly. Clean internal linking and solid technical SEO practices round it out, so your site is set up to perform well in search results from launch.
What makes your web design services unique?
Every project is a custom solution built around your specific needs — not a template with your logo swapped in. I focus on sites that are both visually strong and genuinely SEO-friendly, reflecting your brand while actually driving business results. Once your site is live, quick response times and real follow-through are part of the deal, not an upsell.
What's the process and timeline like?
Most projects start with a mockup — a real, clickable preview you can react to before anything is built. From there it's a build phase, a revision round based on your feedback, and launch. Simple single-page sites can turn around in about a week; multi-page sites with more back-and-forth typically take up to four weeks.
Do I own my website after it's built?
Yes. You get the full source files with no lock-in — there's no proprietary platform holding your site hostage, and you're free to host it wherever you'd like or hand it to another developer down the road.
What if I need changes after launch?
Revisions are included through final approval before launch. After that, reach out any time — small updates and fixes are handled quickly, and larger changes are scoped and quoted as their own project.
What happens after I receive my source files?
Getting your source files isn't the end of the relationship — it just means you're never locked in. You're free to hand them to another developer or host the site wherever you'd like, but I'm still available for edits, updates, or a redesign down the road. Most returning clients just reach out directly when something needs to change.
Do you offer hosting or ongoing maintenance?
Not currently — I focus on design and development. You'll own your domain and hosting directly, so there's no recurring fee paid through me and no risk of losing your site if I'm ever unavailable.
