Meet Reid
Hi, I’m Reid. I build the website. You run the business.
Beachside Web Devs is me: one developer who’d rather give you a straight answer than a sales pitch. When you email, I’m the one who reads it.
Why Beachside
Why I started this
I’ve spent years building software: apps, servers, and websites. Along the way I kept meeting business owners, from solo contractors to busy practices and firms, who were great at their work and stuck with a website that didn’t pull its weight. Some were paying an agency too much for it. Some had no idea how to change it.
Beachside is my answer to that: a website built around your business, by someone you can actually reach, at a fair price whether you need three pages or thirty.
I keep my client list small on purpose, so every project gets my full attention. When a project needs something outside my lane, like photography or brand design, I’ll bring in people I trust.
How I work
Three promises.
You talk to me
No account managers, no ticket queue. The person you talk to is the person building your site.
Your OK comes first
Nothing goes live, and nothing gets sent to your customers, until you’ve seen it and said yes.
No lock-in
Your site, your domain, your content. If you ever want to move on, I’ll help you take it with you.
About AI
Yes, I use AI. Here’s how.
AI helps me work faster on first drafts and busywork, which is part of why I can keep prices fair and turnaround quick. But it doesn’t know your business, and I don’t pretend it does. Every page gets written for you, checked by me, and approved by you. If a tool isn’t worth it for your business, I’ll tell you that too.
Off the clock 🏄
Beachside isn’t just a name. I’m based in the Bay Area, just off Highway 1, and when I’m not building websites there’s a good chance I’m by the ocean.
Say hello
Got a business and a website that isn’t pulling its weight?
Tell me about it. I’ll reply myself, usually within a business day.
