A family business. One builder.
Riptide is a family-run web studio in Port St. Lucie. I design, code and host every site myself, and family keeps the rest of the business running.
Why Riptide exists
Around here I kept seeing the same thing: great local businesses — restaurants, shops, trades, marinas — with websites that didn't do them justice, or no website at all. The people running them are brilliant at what they do. The digital side just never got the attention.
So that's the job. I build sites that look like they belong to the business, host them on my own server so they stay fast and safe, and stick around afterwards to keep them that way.
When you call Riptide, you're talking to the person whose name is on the work — not a sales rep, not a ticket system.
## Why a small shop is safe to hire
- You own your code — it's in the contract.
- Backups and documentation on every site, so it never depends on one person's memory.
- A registered Florida LLC with real contracts.
- A real reply within 4 hours. Yes, even at 2 AM.
Three things I don't compromise on.
Honesty over sales
If you don't need a big new website, I'll tell you. If a cleaned-up Google listing is what you really need right now, that's what I'll recommend.
Own the whole stack
Design, code and hosting all stay with me, so nothing falls through the cracks between three different companies.
Stay reachable
Your site breaks at 9 PM on a Saturday? You shouldn't have to file a ticket and wait three days. Text me. I'll answer.
