About ArdinGate
ArdinGate LLC — Custom web design for small businesses
Every website ArdinGate builds starts the same way: a blank file and a clear brief. No page builders, no drag-and-drop templates, no unnecessary theme frameworks. Just clean HTML, CSS, and PHP, written by hand. The result is a faster site, a smaller codebase, and code that doesn't break every time a plugin updates.
This matters more than most agencies will admit. Page builder sites routinely load dozens of unnecessary scripts and stylesheets. They slow down your site, hurt your search rankings, and make the code harder to maintain over time. Hand-coded sites load faster, rank better, and hold up longer. That's the difference between a site built the right way and one that's just fast to assemble. Not sure whether to build it yourself or hire? See the guide on deciding whether to DIY or hire →
ArdinGate LLC builds custom websites for small businesses across the US and Canada. From a focused single-page site for a service business to a full multi-page build for a growing company, every project is responsive, mobile-friendly, and built to convert visitors into customers. Mobile app development is handled through a sibling brand, ArdinGate Studios.
Pricing is straightforward with no hidden fees. Every quote includes a realistic timeline. When the project is done, you own everything: the code, the database, and all the files. Not sure what that means in practice? See what to retain ownership of → Hosting has no long-term contract — cancel anytime with 30 days' written notice and no cancellation fee. If you ever want to move to a different host, you'll receive a complete export of your site at no charge.

The person behind it
Solo-run. Direct contact. No handoff layer.
ArdinGate LLC is operated by Keith — an independent developer who leads every project from start to finish. No hidden white-labeling; you always know who's working on your project. No agency producer sitting between you and the person building your site. The same person who quotes the project writes the PHP, registers your domain, and answers your support email six months in.
That matters because small businesses routinely get the short end from agencies: account managers who can't answer technical questions, retainers that balloon, and builds that mysteriously take twice as long as promised. Here, you get direct answers, honest timelines, and code you can read and own. Learn how I work →

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with remote clients?
Yes, most clients are remote. I work with small businesses across the US and Canada. Everything is handled online, and the quality of work doesn't change based on where you are.
What happens if my site goes down?
If you're on a hosting plan, I monitor uptime and handle issues as they come up. You'll get a response within 24–48 hours for any support request.
