Custom Websites That Get Found and Win Business
I build custom websites for growing businesses with built-in SEO, competitive research, and 1-on-1 attention from strategy through launch. No templates. No agency handoffs. No surprises.
What Makes This Different
You've seen what agencies charge and what templates produce. Here's why businesses choose to work with me instead.
Custom Code
Every site is built from scratch. No slow page builders, no bloated and common themes. Clean, performant code that's uniquely yours and built for your specific goals.
1-on-1 Collaboration
You work directly with the person writing the code. No account managers, no handoffs. The care and accountability you get here simply cannot be matched by a larger team.
Built to Load Fast
Efficient code that scores near-perfect on Core Web Vitals. Fast load times reduce bounce rate, improve SEO rankings, and signal professionalism to every visitor.
Competitor Analysis
Before design begins, I study your competitors, search landscape, and target audience so your site is positioned to stand out where it matters most.
Speed Is a Feature
A slow website doesn't just frustrate visitors. It costs you rankings, credibility, and conversions before anyone reads a single word. Speed is one of the first signals Google and your visitors use to judge whether your site is worth their time.
Every site I build is optimized from the ground up for load time, Core Web Vitals, and real-world performance across devices and connection speeds.
Average initial load time
The average time it takes for a page I build to become interactive for the first visitor, measured on real hardware against real network conditions.

What Clients Say
Real feedback from clients who've seen their websites transform their business presence. Each project reflects the same focus on performance, clarity, and results.
"Working with Tristan to build my company's website was a fantastic experience. Contracting and payment were simple and transparent. He listened carefully to what I wanted and turned those ideas into a site that matched my vision. Tristan kept the project moving efficiently and provided a conceptual design in Figma that allowed me to collaborate directly. He took creative ownership of key details, including my logo, and was patient through my many iterations. He also gave thorough guidance as I set up email and domain tools. The website turned out beautifully and quickly became a strong reflection of my brand. I'd highly recommend Tristan to anyone seeking a skilled, collaborative web designer who delivers a great end product and easy to work with."

How I Compare to the Alternatives
Most businesses end up choosing between DIY templates and large agencies. There is a better option in the middle.
Templates & Page Builders
Sites built on Wix or Squarespace look like everyone else's, load slower, and lock you into a monthly subscription just to keep the lights on. Customization has a ceiling.
Large Agencies
Your project gets passed between account managers and developers you never meet. You pay for overhead and coordination. Communication is slow and the final product rarely feels personal.
Parrish Design
Custom code built for your goals, with one person accountable for every detail. You get agency-quality output with direct communication, faster turnaround, and no bloated overhead.
Included With Every Project
Every project includes a set of strategic extras that many teams treat as add-ons. You get a site that is not only well built, but informed by research, ready for search, and set up to measure real results.
Market Research
Before any layout is finalized I review your closest competitors, search landscape, and positioning so your site is built to stand out where it matters most.
Technical SEO Built-In
Clean structure, semantic markup, metadata, and redirects handled for you. Your site is set up so search engines can crawl, index, and understand your content from day one.
Analytics and Tracking
Help connecting tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, and privacy-friendly alternatives so you can see how people find and use your site without guessing.
Pre-Launch Audit
A full pre-launch review that confirms everything is performing as intended across devices, browsers, and screen sizes. I share a clear report of speed, structure, and search readiness before anything goes live.
Lead Flow Optimization
Thoughtful contact flows, form structure, and confirmation states designed to capture the right information and make it easy for prospects to take the next step.
Post-Launch Support
A walkthrough of how everything works plus a support window after launch for questions, small tweaks, and ideas as you start seeing real traffic and inquiries.
About The Process
Every project follows a clear 5-phase process designed to keep things efficient, focused, and transparent from start to finish.
We begin with a one-on-one call to discuss your goals, audience, and the purpose of your website. This is where I learn what sets your business apart and what success looks like for you. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of my plan, and I'll have everything I need to put together a detailed proposal.
A no-pressure conversation with no commitment required to get started.
Just bring your ideas. A few reference sites or competitor examples help, but nothing is required.
By the end, we'll both know if we're a good fit and have a clear approach mapped out.
After our call, you'll receive a detailed proposal with goals, scope, timeline, and pricing.
Once you approve the proposal, we move into the planning phase. I outline your site structure, content needs, project timeline, and relevant competitor insights. Before design begins, you'll know exactly which pages we're creating, what content is required, and when each milestone will be delivered.
Every page planned before design begins so nothing gets missed.
I review what others in your space are doing so your site is positioned to stand out.
Each milestone is mapped out so you know exactly what to expect and when.
Priorities shift, and adjustments to the plan are easy to make before design work starts.
With the plan approved, design begins. I create layouts that reflect your brand personality and organize content in a way that's clear, engaging, and easy to navigate. You'll review design previews and share feedback along the way so we can refine and perfect the look and feel before a single line of code is written.
You'll review and approve the full design before development begins.
No revision caps. We refine until you're completely happy with the look and feel.

I can work with what you have or suggest colors, fonts, and visuals that fit your goals.
Once the design is approved, development begins. I build using modern, high-performance tools like Next.js and Tailwind CSS, ensuring your site loads fast, looks great on every device, and follows SEO best practices. You'll receive progress updates and can preview the site in a private test environment before launch.
View your site as it's built in a private test environment, with no waiting until launch.

I handle deployment, hosting setup, and performance configuration so your site launches smoothly. I'll walk you through how to manage it going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few common questions about timelines, content, and what to expect along the way.
Most consultations take less than 30 minutes, but there's no rush if you'd like to talk longer. We'll cover your goals, target audience, and what success looks like for your site.
Consultations are typically held over Google Meet, but I'm happy to accommodate a phone call or handle everything over email if that's easier for you.
Most projects take 3 to 6 weeks if all content and assets are ready. I prioritize quality and thoughtful execution, so schedules are planned to allow for proper review and refinement at each phase.
Most clients provide the main copy, but I'll guide you on what's needed for each section and make recommendations during design to help the content fit naturally within the layout.
Yes. The plan is flexible up until the design phase begins. If priorities shift or new ideas come up, we can adjust the structure before design work starts.
Of course. Small tweaks like animations or spacing adjustments are totally fine. For larger design changes, it's best to mention them during the design phase so everything stays on schedule.
If you host with me, basic support is included to keep your site running smoothly. For larger updates or content rewrites, I'm happy to provide a quote or discuss an ongoing support package.
