Sacramento website checkups & fixes

Is your website feeling sick? Let’s get it healthy.

Slow, hacked, out of date, or just not working right? I’m Carson, a local web engineer with 30 years of experience. I give your site a checkup, explain what I find in plain English, and fix it for a fixed price.

Thoughtful web engineering.

What I treat

Common symptoms I see in Sacramento small-business websites every week.

Cartoon of Carson as a coach, ready to help
  • Broken pages & errors

    White screens, error messages, forms that don’t send, links that go nowhere.

  • Slow loading

    Pages that take forever on a phone. I find what’s weighing it down and trim the fat.

  • Hacked or spammy

    Strange redirects, spam pages, security warnings in Google. I clean it up and help it build better defenses.

  • Looks wrong on phones

    Text too small, buttons you can’t tap, layouts that fall apart.

  • Out of shape & out of date

    Outdated WordPress, Drupal, PHP, or plugins that are one update away from trouble.

  • Hosting & email headaches

    Expired domains, SSL warnings, moving hosts, DNS and email that stopped working.

WordPress, Drupal, Nuxt/Vue, custom PHP, and sites hosted on AWS and most common hosts.

Checkups, tune-ups & ongoing fitness

Simple, fixed prices. You’ll know the cost before any work starts. No hourly surprises. Think of the care plan like a personal trainer for your site: a little work every month keeps it strong.

Meet Carson, the person you’ll work with

Cartoon version of Carson as a friendly coach

Hi, I’m Carson Black. I’ve been building and fixing websites for about 30 years, since the early days of the web. I’ve spent about 19 of those years working with Drupal, and I also work with WordPress, Vue/Nuxt, and sites hosted on AWS.

I live and work in the Sacramento area. Website Health Center is just me. There’s no call center or junior tech, so when you call or email, you talk to me, and I’m the one who fixes your site.

I like to explain things in plain English, give you a straight answer, and leave your site healthier than I found it.

  • Local: Sacramento area. Call me, or let’s meet for coffee.
  • Solo: you always talk to me, start to finish.
  • Experienced: about 30 years of web engineering and 19 years of Drupal.
