We help auto repair shops win on the web. Our websites may not be perfect, but they are less bad than the other guy's, and we can prove it.
Not All Web-Developers Create Equally
The mechanic.media difference
We build our websites centered on one thing: Your customers.
The difference between winning and losing on the web is not in razzle-dazzle special effects — it's in practical usability.
Our hand-coded websites set us apart from the competition. They may not be perfect — but they are better than the other guys.
- Performance
Search engines are in the business of giving their users what they want, and the numbers are in: Internet users prefer speed, and even more so on mobile, where the majority of search takes place.
We put top-priority emphasis on performance, and test all of our work using the industry performance benchmark WebPageTest.org.
- Craftsmanship
We take pride in our work, and build everything by hand. We don't use Wordpress and similar dated platforms that pile on excess baggage and slow things down. Do you want a web-developer, or a Wordpress developer? If a website is what you want, a web-developer is what you'll need.
- Precision
Our greatest strength is our fine-tuned attention to detail that is driven by our dedication to Web Standards. This assures that your content will be accessible to as wide an audience as possible — including especially your most important audience: robots like Google, Bing, and Siri.

Who We Are
It's not ‘we’, actually ... it's mostly just me, but I wouldn't be here without the support of my loving family.
My name is James. I'm a web-developer and entrepreneur, and I built this business after I noticed there was a need in the marketplace.
I believe that small, independent auto-repair shops should have websites that compete with the big guys for a price that doesn't break the bank.
