I'm Jesse -- a web designer and IT guy right here in Connecticut. I build websites, fix tech problems, and treat every client like a neighbor. Because you are one.
Hi, I'm Jesse. I'm an IT professional with over a decade of technical experience building applications, websites, and tech support for thousands of people across several companies. I love what I do, and I want to use those skills to help you connect with customers, build applications that elevate your business, and fix the problems you see day-to-day.
I started Hammer & Pixels because I noticed small businesses get treated like ticket numbers at big companies. You deserve better.
My mission is simple: help small businesses succeed with websites, applications, and tech support that actually fit your needs. I'm committed to making people happy and helping the world be a better place.
When you reach out, you get me. Not a chatbot, not a call center, not a rotating cast of strangers. Just someone who already knows your name and your project.
Your business isn't generic, so your website shouldn't be either. I build everything from scratch because cookie-cutter sites get cookie-cutter results.
If you don't need something, I'll say so. If there's a cheaper way to get what you want, I'll tell you. I'd rather earn your trust than pad an invoice.
I don't do templates. I sit down, learn how your business works, and build exactly what you need -- nothing more, nothing less.
I'll build you a website that actually looks like your business -- not a template with your name slapped on it. Every site I make is hand-crafted, because your work deserves that.
Once your site is live, I keep it running smoothly. Updates, backups, security checks, and content changes -- one less thing you have to worry about.
Printers, email, networks, computers -- the stuff that drives you crazy. I'll fix it, explain what happened in plain English, and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Contractors, salons, restaurants, shops, nonprofits -- the businesses that keep the Farmington Valley running. You're excellent at what you do. You shouldn't have to be excellent at websites too.
I know your work because I live here. I've sat in your chairs, eaten at your tables, and hired your crews. When I build your site, I understand what your customers need -- because I am your customer.
Every project starts with understanding your business and ends with something you're proud to put your name on.
Full website redesign for a Canton-based landscaping company. Gallery, quote form, and service pages that actually convert.
New site with online menu, hours integration, and a monthly care plan. Mobile-first because 80% of their traffic comes from phones.
Professional website with online booking, plus ongoing IT support for their office network and equipment.
These are example projects that represent the kind of work I do. Your project could be next.
Let's Talk About YoursI'm a real person right here in Connecticut you can actually call. Not a ticket queue. Not a faceless agency three states away. Someone who knows your name and your business.
I don't drag-and-drop templates and call it custom. Every site is hand-built with clean code, thoughtful design, and the kind of attention you'd expect from someone who takes pride in their work.
No hidden fees. No corporate nonsense. No surprise invoices six months later. You'll know exactly what you're paying for and what you're getting before I write a single line of code.
Most small businesses need both a website and tech support. I handle both, so you don't juggle vendors, logins, or blame games between providers.
Every project is scoped before I start. You'll know the price, the timeline, and what's included -- in writing, before any work begins.

The name says it all. The hammer represents real work -- tangible results, durability, the kind of hands-on care that builds things to last. The pixels represent precision -- clean code, sharp design, digital tools wielded with skill.
I started this business because too many small businesses were stuck choosing between overpriced agencies and cheap templates that fall apart. There's a better way, and it starts with someone who actually cares about your success.
I believe your website should be built the way a good contractor builds a house -- solid foundation, quality materials, and someone who stands behind their work long after the job is done.
I'm a real person and I like talking to people. Tell me what's going on with your business and I'll get back to you within one business day -- usually sooner.
