About

Frank Claridge

I'm a full stack developer. I'm an app developer. I build websites, apps, and small tools for local businesses. Everything is built from scratch. No templates. No page builders. No outsourcing.

Most small business sites are slow, generic, or stuck on a template that doesn't fit. I build the opposite. Clean, fast, and custom. Sites that actually look like your business and show up when people search for you.

I take on a small number of clients at a time so the work stays sharp. If you want something done right without chasing an agency for updates, that's what I do.

Website Design & Development

Built from scratch. No templates, no page builders.

Built from scratch, every time. I don't use themes or page builders. You get something that actually fits your business instead of something that kind of fits everyone's.

SEO, GEO & AEO

Show up on Google, Maps, and AI answers.

Most small business sites are invisible on Google because nobody touched the SEO. I handle the structure, metadata, local signals, and AI-answer optimization so you show up when someone nearby is searching and when ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI is recommending who to call.

Get found

Website Improvements & Audits

Got a site that's just sitting there? Let's fix it.

Already have a site that's just kind of sitting there? I'll go through it, tell you what's wrong, and fix it. Sometimes it's small stuff that makes a big difference.

App
Services

Full-stack apps. Interface, engine, payments, ship.

02 / 01

App Design & Development

Native-feeling web and mobile apps. Built end to end.

I build the whole thing: interface, screens, flows, and the engine behind it. No half-finished side of the app. You get something that looks the way you want and actually works the way users expect.

Front End & UI

The part your users actually touch.

Clean, fast interfaces that don't feel like a template. Animations, transitions, responsive layouts, built so the app feels good to use, not just functional.

Design the UI
02 / 03

Back End & APIs

Auth, database, server logic. The part nobody sees but everything depends on.

Real back ends, not no-code duct tape. User accounts, databases, APIs, secure endpoints. Built so it scales when you actually get users.

Wire the backend
02 / 04

Paywalls & Payments

Charge for access. Stripe, subscriptions, gated content.

Free tier, paid tier, monthly, yearly, lifetime, whatever model fits. Stripe integration, gated routes, webhook handling, customer portal. The boring plumbing that turns an app into a business.

Add a paywall
02 / 05

Hosting, Launch & Maintenance

Get it live and keep it live.

Deploy, domain, SSL, analytics, error monitoring. I'll get the app shipped to a real URL and stay on it after launch so you're not on your own when something breaks.

Ship it
02 / 06

AI Chatbots & Automation

A 24/7 closer on your site. Qualifies leads, books appointments, answers questions.

Lead qualification, appointment booking, follow-up sequences, customer support. Trained on your business so it sounds like you, not a generic bot. Wired into your site and email so the conversation doesn't die when someone closes the tab.
