Bloated, template sites
Built on page builders and heavy with code the owner never sees and slow on the phones customers actually use.
The mission
Local businesses deserve better than a bloated template.
JavaDog exists because too many small businesses get sold slow, page-builder websites at agency prices, then left to maintain them alone. We hand-code fast, honest sites (and real software) for the trades, clinics, and shops that keep a town running.
Why we started
How small businesses get sold short.
The same story, over and over, a good local business handed a website that was slow out of the box and neglected after launch.
Agency prices, zero access
You pay a premium, then get handed to an account manager instead of the person actually building the thing.
Launched, then forgotten
No upkeep after go-live. Speed, security, and search rankings all quietly slide, and nobody’s watching.
The response
So we built the opposite.
Hand-coded & fast
Every line written by hand, no page builders, no bloat. Sites that load in under a second and actually rank.
One team, start to finish
You deal with us the whole way, no account managers, no telephone game, no handoffs.
Looked after for good
Hosting, security, and unlimited edits on the monthly plan. It stays fast and current long after launch.
Honest pricing
A real number before we start. $0 down, no agency markup, and no surprise invoice after.
The people who sell it are the people who build it. No middlemen.
JavaDog was founded by Patrick, who spent a decade in corporate eCommerce and web technology after a degree in Management Information Systems from RIT. When he became a stay-at-home dad and wanted more flexibility, he built JavaDog around a simple promise: hand-coded quality and honest pricing, put within reach of the businesses that need it most.
And because we've shipped genuine software, a physician-pay platform, an on-call scheduler, a peer-reviewed journal, we can go well past a brochure site when the work calls for it. We work remotely from Sleepy Hollow, NY with businesses anywhere, and we take on a limited number of projects at a time so each one gets real attention.
