Here's how I work with clients.

Everyone works differently (and that’s a good thing). Maybe you’ve never worked with a web developer before, or you’re an agency that’s contracted literally hundreds! In either case, building relationship takes transparency. Here's a glimpse into what it’s like working with me.

Process

Process

1

Send me the design

A finished Figma file, or a link to the site you want moved. No sales call, no discovery phase, no brief to write. Contract and invoice by email, 50% up front.

2

Build it in Framer

Updates over Slack or email as they happen. No standing meetings, no hourly billing. Most projects take 1–3 weeks from start to finish.

3

Site ownership transferred

Transferred to your own Framer account. You own it, you can edit it, and you are not tied to me to keep it running.

“Here’s a developer who ‘gets’ design.”

“Working with Aaron has been nothing short of a dream. On two major projects: Summer Health’s website and my own personal site — his skill and ingenuity stood out. He’s not just a cog in the machine. He’s a sounding board, a co-creator, and let me tell you — he’s fast. Like, lightning fast.”

Core principles

Core principles

1. Avoid meetings

99% of meetings could simply be an email or Slack message. This frees up everyone’s time and leaves a written trail that’s easy to reference later. Talking face to face is for building relationships or solving problems in real time, not for status updates.

2. Come prepared

The more context you give me, the better the result. A finished design, a written list of what you want, and a clear picture of what a slam-dunk looks like will get you further than any amount of back and forth later. Same goes during revisions.

3. Quickly, quickly, quickly

I pride myself on working efficiently, delivering quality work that you probably think will take 3x as long. Having everything prepared beforehand is what makes that possible.

4. One point of contact

It’s impossible to build a great site with twelve people giving input. I require all clients to appoint one person (project manager or CEO, doesn’t matter who) to communicate with about requirements, updates, or revisions.

5. Less is more

Clarity is top priority for websites. You can count on me to intuitively combine, remove, or optimize things to have the clearest site possible. Occasionally that means trimming something you like to keep the site on course.
