Custom sites for businesses tired of rebuilding every two years, and the upkeep that keeps them running.
Why GatorGeeks
Anyone can put a site online. Keeping it fast and standing for years takes a different discipline.
A plugin stops updating. A form stops sending. The page loses a second a year, until a customer mentions it.
A lean site that someone maintains keeps working. Structural boredom is the point. Like plumbing, the part holding everything up should be the part you never think about.
Why sites age badly
Heavier, and no better. Every kilobyte has to keep working.
A plugin is abandoned upstream and takes an unpatched vulnerability with it. You find out when a scanner does.
The agency moved on. Updates stopped, backups were never tested, and the first real test is the day it fails.
Chat, analytics, heatmaps, consent, pixels. Every one a script, and nobody remembers who owns them.
Median page weight, desktop
We aim for far less than the median. Elsewhere, the film above would have shipped at 14 MB.

What we do
From digital humanities archives to the shop on the corner. The scope changes. The discipline stays the same.
No themeA pre-made design bought off the shelf and applied to a site. It arrives carrying features you never asked for., no builderA drag-and-drop page editor. Convenient at first, but it writes dense markup that is hard for anyone to change later., no plugins. One compiled program that serves your site and nothing else.
Every dependencyAny outside code your site relies on. Every one is something that can break, need patching, or be abandoned by its author. is something that can fail in three years. The ones that earn their place stay.
Weekly updates, staged and reversible. Nightly backups, with tested restores.
