One-paragraph bio (for direct quotation)

Pikes Peak Web Designs is a Colorado-based agency building custom-coded websites for small service businesses across the U.S. and Canada. Founded by Jon Ajinga in Colorado Springs, the agency rejects the WordPress, page-builder, and template-mill model in favor of custom-coded sites on the modern edge: 95–100 PageSpeed scores, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, custom-coded schema for the local pack, and a single flat $175-a-month plan with nothing down at signing rather than a five-thousand-dollar design deposit. The whole agency operates in public, with a live changelog, an open service agreement, and a public Owner's Guide, so prospective clients can evaluate the work before any sales conversation.

Two-line bio (for short-form attribution)

Jon Ajinga is the founder of Pikes Peak Web Designs, a Colorado Springs agency that builds custom-coded websites for small service businesses across the U.S. and Canada. He writes about local SEO, page speed, and the hidden cost of "good enough" templates for the trades.

Topics I am happy to be quoted on

I will go on the record about any of these. Email or text and we can do it written, on a call, or as a podcast guest.

  • Local SEO for service businesses. The local pack, Google Business Profile, structured data, the doorway-page penalty, NAP consistency, why "near me" search rewards specificity.
  • Page speed economics. What a slow site actually costs in lost mobile visitors, the conversion-rate impact of every additional second, why the calculator industry has been quiet about this.
  • The "good enough" trap with AI website builders. Why generic copy ranks worse over time, why an AI-generated page looks done but does not perform, the real ceiling on Wix AI / Squarespace AI / Durable / GoDaddy AIO output.
  • WordPress security for non-technical owners. Why service-business sites do not need a CMS, the maintenance retainer industrial complex, the static-site alternative.
  • The Service Site Standard. The seven-principle methodology behind every site I ship, one owner end-to-end, custom code over CMSes, posted prices, fast by construction, accessible by default, local before global, boring infrastructure. Read the principles.
  • Pricing transparency. Why posted prices increase qualified inquiries, why "request a quote" buttons cost more revenue than they protect, what a real flat-rate plan does to the agency-client relationship.
  • The trades-specific take. Roofing storm season, HVAC seasonal demand cycles, plumbing emergency-call landing pages, what each trade specifically needs from its website.
