Design & build
A custom site designed around your business, not a template with your logo dropped in. Written by hand, so it stays fast and easy to change.

03About
Morgan Stovold · Est. 2007
Two jobs,
one habit.
I'm Morgan. I started programming in 2019 and spent the last few years building websites for local businesses: a remodeler, a Hawaiian restaurant, a family foundation in Benicia.
In 2026 I took a turn. I earned my EMT certification in March, and since June I've been working on an ambulance around the Bay Area. I'm applying to paramedic school now, and the long-term goal is paramedic firefighter.
I still build websites, and the two jobs ask for more of the same than you'd think: stay calm, communicate clearly, and do it right the first time. Hire me and you work with one person who picks up the phone.
