Freelance web developer

Websites for small businesses that do more than sit there.

I'm Carter Long. I build fast sites on Cloudflare with real backends behind them. Lead forms that reach you. Booking calendars that stay in sync with Airbnb. Content you can change yourself without calling me.

01

Fast on a phone

Hand-written HTML served from Cloudflare's edge. No page builder, no theme, nothing to download before your customer sees the phone number.

02

A real backend

Forms store to a database and email you within seconds. Calendars pull live availability. It isn't a contact form that quietly goes nowhere.

03

You can edit it

Owner dashboards for rates, photos, and reviews. Change your prices on a Sunday night without waiting on me to do it.

The Rustic Cowboy Construction homepage, showing a timber-frame roof photo behind the headline Built rustic-tough Live

Client site

Rustic Cowboy Construction

A residential contractor in Dallas–Fort Worth doing roofing, fences, retaining walls, and patios. Every estimate request stores to a database and lands in the owner's inbox, with the address and job type already filled in.

The Lunazul Villa and Cottage homepage, showing a pool deck overlooking Coral Bay, St. John Live

Client site

Lunazul Villa & Cottage

Two vacation rentals above Coral Bay, St. John, sharing one site. Availability syncs from the Airbnb calendar, rates change by season, and the owners edit pricing, reviews, and recommendations themselves.

The Emberline homepage, showing a live fire behind the headline Everything meets the fire Demo

Demo build

Emberline

A wood-fired restaurant I invented so I could build the whole thing: menu, table booking against real availability, and a to-go basket priced on the server, so an order edited in the browser still costs what the kitchen charges.

The Northline Dental homepage, headlined The whole checkup, every time Demo

Demo build

Northline Dental

An invented dental practice, built for the scheduling. Five clinicians with different weeks and different treatment lists, and the length of the appointment decides which gaps you're offered. Every bill opens up to show what the plan paid and why the rest landed on you.

The Chalkline Climbing homepage, headlined Fall off, get back on Demo

Demo build

Chalkline Climbing

An invented climbing gym, built for the capacity. A full class hands you a numbered place in the queue instead of a booking, and cancelling a spot on a class with a waiting list doesn't put that spot back on sale. The membership keeps a ledger of every credit granted, spent and expired.
