One Partner, Full Stack
Design, development, and the infrastructure underneath — handled by the same person. No account managers, no translation errors, no “that’s not my department.”
Web & App Development for Arlington, TX
SMC designs and builds the websites, web apps, and mobile apps growing businesses run on — engineered properly and supported after launch. One Texas-based partner for the whole build, from the first pixel to the servers underneath.
Products I've built
Real software, shipped and in production.
I don't just talk about building products — I ship them. These are live platforms I designed, engineered, and operate end to end, for my own businesses and for clients.
What I Build
Web Development
Fast, modern websites built to convert — designed, coded, and maintained in-house.
App Development
Native iOS and cross-platform mobile apps, from first sketch to the App Store.
Product & SaaS Engineering
Full web applications with auth, billing, and dashboards — the complete product, not a prototype.
Brand Identity & Design
Logos, brand systems, and visual identity that make your business look the part.
IT & Infrastructure
Need the tech behind the business handled too? I keep the lights on — so the same person who builds your site can run the systems underneath it.
Web Hosting
High-availability hosting tuned for uptime and speed.
Networks & Security
Business-grade firewalls, VPNs, and Wi-Fi done right.
Backup & Recovery
Automated offsite backups so a bad day never becomes a disaster.
Email & Domain
Professional email on your domain, set up and migrated cleanly.
IT Support & Consulting
A direct line for the day-to-day tech your team runs on.
Built & run on
Production-grade tools, not weekend experiments
I build on the same platforms that power serious software — AWS, Cloudflare, and Microsoft for cloud and edge, Ubiquiti for the networks underneath. The result is software and infrastructure that stays fast, secure, and online while you focus on running your business.
One partner, the whole build
Most projects break in the handoffs — between the designer, the developer, and whoever runs the servers. Work with one person who covers all of it and those gaps disappear. For Texans, by Texans.
Ships and Stays Shipped
I build things that launch and keep working — not prototypes that need someone else to finish them. Everything is tested, documented, and supported after it goes live.
Built to Last
Quick fixes turn into bigger problems. I do it right the first time — secure defaults, clean code, and systems built to grow with you instead of being rebuilt in a year.
What I do - From idea to shipped product.
Whether you need a website, a full web app, or the systems behind your business, it’s the same straightforward process — and the same person start to finish.
- Custom Websites. Professional, fast-loading sites that represent your business and turn visitors into customers — designed and built, then maintained as you grow.
- Web Applications. Full-featured web apps with accounts, billing, and dashboards. Real product engineering, not a template with the serial numbers filed off.
- Mobile Apps. Native iOS and cross-platform apps that put your business in your customers’ pockets.
- Brand & Design. Logos, brand systems, and the visual identity that makes everything else look intentional.
- Hosting & IT Support. The infrastructure behind it all — hosting, email, networks, and backups, handled so you never think about them.

Strode Media Is All-In on AI — Here's What That Means for You
AI is not a buzzword I sprinkle on a sales page. It is woven into how I design, build, and ship every project. Here is exactly how I use it, where I refuse to, and why that makes your project better — not cheaper-feeling.

The Problem With GoDaddy (and What I Set Clients Up With Instead)
After years of untangling GoDaddy accounts for clients, my honest take: it overcomplicates the simple, charges for things that should be free, and buries small businesses in upsells. Here is what is actually going wrong and the cleaner, cheaper way to run your domain and hosting.
