Websites and tech support
from your neighbor

I'm Jesse, a web designer and IT guy in the Farmington Valley. I build sites, fix tech, and treat every client like a neighbor. Because you are one.

Meet Jesse

The person behind
Hammer & Pixels.

I'm an IT professional with over a decade of experience building websites, applications, and tech support for thousands of people. I started Hammer & Pixels because small businesses deserve better than ticket numbers at big companies.

My mission is simple: help local businesses succeed with websites and tech that actually fit your needs - not a one-size-fits-all package.

What I Do

Custom solutions.
Not one-size-fits-all.

I learn how your business works and build exactly what you need.

How It Works

Three steps, that's it

1

We talk

You tell me about your business, what you need, and what's not working. No forms, no tickets - just a conversation.

2

I build it

I design and build your site from scratch. You see drafts along the way with dedicated revision rounds to get it dialed in.

3

You launch

Your site goes live. I handle hosting, DNS, and all the technical stuff. You focus on your business.

Why Work With Me

Not an agency.
Not a template.

Your neighbor, not a chatbot

I'm a real person in Connecticut you can actually call. Someone who knows your name and your business.

Craftsmanship, not shortcuts

Every site is hand-built with clean code, thoughtful design, and the attention to detail your business deserves.

Total transparency

No hidden fees. No surprise invoices. You'll know exactly what you're paying for before I write a single line of code.

Web and tech under one roof

Website and IT support from one person. No juggling vendors or blame games between providers.

Honest Pricing

Clear costs, no surprises

You'll know the price, the timeline, and what's included - in writing - before any work begins.
