Thorne Web Designs
My name is Jake Thorne, born and raised in Colorado, and I am the sole developer and designer of Thorne Web Designs. I’m currently mastering the art of juggling two very different jobs. By day (and night), I’m the go-to person for my aging parents, which means I’ve become an expert at finding lost remotes and answering endless questions about the Wi-Fi.
When I’m not busy being the family’s unofficial tech support, I’m running a website development business. I help small businesses get their online presence sorted, which is a nice change of pace from the daily adventures of caregiving.
So, if you need a website that works or advice on how to reset a router, I’m your person!

Static Sites Outperform Most Wordpress Sites
There are three main reasons why someone in need of a website would prefer hiring someone like me to make them a static site (and maintain it) rather than make their own on Wordpress or Wix.
-
Security Risk
Page builder sites like Wordpress and Wix have databases and server-side platforms that give hackers a very convenient backdoor into the process to compromise your site. One of the easiest ways they can access your site is through outdated plugins - and page builders use quite a lot of plugins.
-
Weighed Down
Speaking of plugins and databases, those things are the equivalent of going for a run with a hundred pound backpack on. They just slow down your website, impacting your Google PageSpeed, which impacts how Google will rank your website. Anything that scores below a 90 will be served under better optimized websites - I always aim for 95 or better.

You Ain't Got Time For That
Finally, perhaps the most important reason, your time is valuable. You're running a business! You've got your hands full with the dozens of other moving parts a business requires of you, worrying about your website shouldn't be on your list. Checking links, page speeds, and updating content - instead of squeezing all of that in your free time on the weekend, let me handle it.

That's ultimately what this is - you're not buying a website, you're buying a partnership with me to help you build and maintain a website.
