01

Position

Small business / serious craft

A website should feel like your business. Not the business next door.

I design and build the whole thing directly: the hierarchy, the typography, the motion, the responsive behavior, the technical structure, the search foundations, and the details people notice without knowing why.

MØNOLITH Architecture

Creative development / WebGL / Spatial interaction

Under the hood

The part clients should not have to think about

Pretty is not enough.

The design is the visible layer. Underneath it is responsive behavior, performance, semantic structure, search intent, accessibility, deployment, analytics, and enough engineering discipline that the site keeps working after the launch post disappears.

01Design

Art direction, hierarchy, typography, content structure, interaction, and mobile-first composition.

02Front-end

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Next.js, responsive systems, and performance-minded implementation.

03Motion

GSAP, scroll choreography, Three.js, WebGL, shaders, and interactions that support the story instead of distracting from it.

04Search

Semantic HTML, metadata, schema, internal linking, local intent, crawlability, and technical SEO foundations.

05Systems

Backend integrations, forms, APIs, databases, auth, deployment, and the software behind the interface when a project needs more than a brochure site.

The person doing the work

Steve Brooks / Philadelphia
Steve Brooks, independent web designer and developer behind WebDotMe

Self-taught. Obsessive about details.

I’m Steve Brooks. WebDotMe is intentionally small. You talk to me, I do the design, I write the code, I test the phone version, I launch it, and I am still here when the business needs something after launch.
