Christopher Wu

I'm Chris. I build websites for LA businesses and nonprofits.

New seasonal drink, new product, an event next weekend? I build the site and help maintain it. Send me a message and your website keeps up.

Recent work includes Good Tails Rescue and Oro.

How I can help

One person from first draft to the next menu change.

Your template is fighting your business

Menus, galleries, online shops and booking pages, planned around how you actually work instead of a generic layout.

Small changes should not take weeks

Send me a message and it gets done, usually within a couple of business days.

When the template cannot do it, I build it

I make the missing piece, like the adoption and foster management system I built for a rescue.

How it works

  1. We talk. You tell me what you need and I tell you what it will take.
  2. I build, you review. You see it before it goes live and ask for changes.
  3. I keep it current. A monthly plan covers a set number of update hours, so small changes never need a new quote.

Good Tails Rescue homepage

Good Tails Rescue

Nonprofit dog rescue. I built their adoption and foster management system and rebuilt sections of the homepage to work around the limits of their website platform.

Oro Protocol website

Oro

The client brought the words and a bold design idea. I built the whole site around them: a glowing amber retro-terminal look, complete with a working command-line style interface.

Custom tools and software

Beyond websites, for teams that need something built or fixed.

Your team needs a tool, not another spreadsheet

Upload tools, search and filter views, and workflow apps built around how your team already works.

Catalog tooling for a retailer. In a previous role, a self-service upload tool that ended per-request engineering tickets.

Building a product and need a developer

Eight years of building production web applications at startups and growth-stage companies, from the data model to deployment.

In a previous role, built the partner integration behind a distribution deal that generated an initial 15% increase in sales.

Already have a site or app that is stuck

Fixes and performance work for software that is slow, flaky or hard to change.

Found why a desktop app slowed down over time and fixed it. Stabilized a production web application.
