Paul Hirsch — Freelance Web Designer in Payson, AZ
Hi, I'm Paul

Freelance Web Designer & Developer in Payson, AZ

I'm a freelance website designer and developer based right here in Payson, Arizona. I build custom, professional websites for small businesses throughout the Rim Country — from Payson and Star Valley to Pine, Strawberry, Show Low, and beyond.

After ASU, I began my career as a software engineer for Motorola, helping build projects for telecommunications companies and the U.S. government. I started building websites because I saw firsthand how many talented local businesses were missing out on customers simply because they didn't have a strong online presence — or had an outdated site that wasn't working for them.

Every website I build is designed from scratch. No cookie-cutter templates. No bloated page builders. Just clean, fast, hand-crafted code that performs well, looks great, and actually helps your business grow.

My Approach

What I Believe in as a Web Designer

🤝 Honest Communication

I'll tell you what you actually need — and what you don't. No upselling services that won't help your business.

⚡ Clean, Fast Code

I hand-code everything. That means faster load times, fewer bugs, and better search engine rankings compared to bloated builders.

📱 Mobile First

Most of your customers are on their phones. Every site I build is designed for mobile first, then scaled up to desktop.

🔍 SEO From the Start

Search engine optimization isn't added on at the end — it's built into every page from the very first line of code.

📍 Locally Focused

I'm right here in Payson. I understand the Rim Country market and can meet in person if you'd like.

🎯 You Can Own Your Own Site

When your site is done, it can be yours. All files, no lock-in, no ongoing fees to me. You're free to host it anywhere.

🌐 You Can Own Your Domain

Or, you can own the domain name while I maintain the website for you — keeping it updated, monitored, and running smoothly every month.
