What I do

Six things, done properly

  • 01

    App development

    Interfaces that are friendly and easy to use. Flow mapping and wireframes, screen design, the component system, and full development: from the first sketch to the finished app.

    • User flows
    • Screen design
  • 02

    Web design

    Sites built to be found and to convert, not just to look good in a portfolio. Structure and copy first, surface second, with the search groundwork laid as the pages are designed. SEO as a component, not as a quick fix at the end of the process.

    • Sitemap and structure
    • Page design
  • 03

    Brand identity

    Logo, color palette, type, cards and signage. The whole system, documented, so your brand still looks like itself when someone else picks it up. A brand identity manual, not just an image.

    • Color and type system

    SEO

    Being found is part of the design, not a job for afterwards. Page structure, real copy, loading speed and the technical groundwork that lets a search engine understand what your site is for and who it serves. SEO as a critical part of the process from the start, always.

    • Technical audit
    • Structure and metadata
  • 05

    Marketing and social

    Campaigns and social management on a monthly basis, so the brand keeps showing up after the launch week is over. Organic and paid traffic that generates calls and leads, increases sales and boosts brand awareness.

    • Content design
    • Campaign assets
  • 06

    AI integration

    AI where it removes real work, and helps, not where it makes unnecessary fluff. Usually that is the repetitive middle of a job: intake, drafting, sorting, answering the same question again. Build only solutions that earn their keep.

    • Opportunity audit
    • Assistants and chat

Selected work

Latest project

Interfaces, identities and the systems that hold them together.

RoadDog TMS

A transport management system for small carriers. Dispatch, loads, invoicing and settlements in one place, with a separate app for the people actually driving. Powered by an AI engine that saves dispatchers countless hours of data input.

The RoadDog TMS dispatch dashboard

The Transportation Management System

Loads by status, revenue against cost, top lanes, driver settlements and the fuel index, on one screen. The density is the point. A dispatcher should not need four tabs open to know how the week is going.

The RoadDog TMS driver app on a phone

The driver app

Not the same screens made narrower. A separate app the driver installs on the home screen: loads, pay, cash advances, messages to dispatch, accident and inspection reports, and location sharing the driver starts on the load itself.

The identity

A shield, a dog and a road that bends into an arrow. Drawn to survive being small: it holds together on a browser tab at 32 pixels and on the side of a trailer.

How it works

From first call to growth

  1. 01

    First conversation

    We talk about what you are trying to build or fix, who it is for, and what has to be true for it to work. What is possible, what could be.

    • Goals
    • Audience
    • Possibilities
  2. 02

    Site and market audit

    I run an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) site audit: a complete checkup of the site from the inside, to see how well it performs in search engines and AI discovery tools. What it is doing right, what it is not, and how to fix it.

    • Technical audit
    • Competitors
    • Where it leaks

    Written proposal

    You get a proposal webpage of your own, with scope, timeline and price laid out. You approve it there.

    • Timeline
    • Price

    Directions

    Two or three real routes, built with your own content rather than a mood board. You pick one.

    Design in rounds

    Work happens in rounds. You see it early and often, not once at the end. You and your team are part of the process as much as you want.

    Build and launch

    Responsive, fast, built with purpose and the right tools, and set up to be found from the first day it is live.

    • Responsive
    • Speed
    • Search setup

    After launch

    The site is watched, pampered, not left alone: search position, loading speed, and what people actually do on it. Tested for performance and results.

    • SEO
    • Analytics
    • Fixes
  8. 08

    Marketing

    Campaigns and social media management or support, month after month, so the brand keeps showing up and growing, always with a plan, always with intent.

    • Monthly reporting

Questions

The questions I get

How much does a project cost?
A website starts at $750 and an app at $2,000. Past that the number moves with scope, timeline and the stage you are already at, which is why there is no price list. Tell me what you are building and you get a written proposal with a real number in it.
How long does it take?
From one day for something small and self-contained, up to several weeks for a full app or a site with a lot of pages. Complexity sets it, not a queue, and the timeline is written into the proposal before anything starts.
Do you design it or build it?
Both. Flows and screens, the component system, and the development through to a working app or a site that is live. You do not need to go and find a developer afterwards.
Who actually does the work?
I do. There is no account layer and no handoff to someone you have not met: the person who asks the awkward questions on the first call is the person who designs and builds the thing. Marketing runs with a small support team behind it, and you meet them too.
Do you work with people outside The Woodlands?
Yes. I work out of The Woodlands and most clients are in Conroe and the Houston area, but the work happens over calls and shared files, so where you are is not the constraint.
Can we do this in Spanish?
Yes, in either language, and the site itself can ship in both. This one does.

Clients

In their own words

  • Juan took a bunch of scattered ideas and somehow turned them into exactly what I was trying to build. He understood the vision incredibly quickly, made smart suggestions along the way, and delivered a polished, functional application much sooner than I expected.
    Dario · Clutchero
  • Juan, thank you for taking all of my crazy ideas and running with them to make them something that made sense. The app came out better than we ever expected. I also really appreciated how quickly you delivered everything.
    Alex · Gorilla Cargo
  • Juan, thank you for making this such an easy experience. Your communication was always clear, you listened to every comment I had, and you kept refining things until we got exactly where we wanted to be. It was a pleasure working with you.
    John · Clutchero
  • I really enjoyed working with Juan. Communication was always clear, professional, and straightforward. He listened carefully to my feedback, made revisions without making the process feel complicated, and stayed with it until we were completely happy with the final result. I will always recommend him.
