Selected work

Higher education. National retail.

Front Beach Digital is new. The work behind it is not, 15+ years of it, for organizations whose names you know. Here is what that covered, and what it means for whatever you are building.

Read this first

What this page is, and what it is not

01 / WHOSE WORK

Mine, and not this company's

Every site further down was built by me for somebody else's organization, as a contractor or an employee, years before Front Beach Digital existed. None of them hired this business and I am not going to imply that they did. The role and the dates are printed beside each one so you can see exactly what the arrangement was.

02 / WHY BRANDS YOU KNOW

Because recognisable is checkable

A stranger cannot verify that I am good at this. What a stranger can do is recognise a grocery chain, a jewellery shop their daughter drags them into and a university, and note that the work sits on the public internet under a domain they can type themselves.

03 / WHAT IS MISSING

There are no results claimed on this page

No traffic figures of mine, no conversion lifts, no percentage improvements. I have screenshots of work I did; I do not have the analytics accounts, and the ones I did once have were never mine to publish. Anybody quoting you a precise lift from a job that ended four years ago is reading you a number they made up.

Higher education

Northeastern University's entire public web portfolio.

University web work is governed work, accessibility requirements, brand systems, procurement, and content owners across dozens of departments who all need to publish without breaking anything. That is the same discipline a public entity needs for the 2027 deadline.

What the university work actually involved

Two new campuses, built from nothing

Oakland and London each opened without a website and needed one that looked and behaved like the rest of the estate on the day it launched. New build, full stack, on the shared system rather than off to one side as a special case somebody would have to maintain forever.

One rebuild of a programme people actually use

Experiential learning is the thing that university is known for, so its section is the one prospective students go looking for. That was a rebuild of an existing property rather than a new one, which is a harder problem: everything that worked had to keep working while the rest of it changed.

The system underneath the sites

The part that does not photograph well and matters most. Custom blocks a communications person can assemble without calling a developer, so a team of a handful can keep a large estate current. The same conviction this company is built on, at a different scale.

Why any of that is your problem

It is not, directly. What it means is that the person building a five-page site for a shop in Ocean Springs has spent years where a careless change breaks something a hundred thousand people use, and has the habits that come with that.

Accessibility engineering

AudioEye, the fix pipeline itself.

Not a customer of accessibility tooling but a builder of it: the path from audit finding to live remediation on a customer's site, made dramatically faster. Which is why our accessibility service fixes code instead of selling an overlay.

The three of them, in one line each

AudioEye, accessibility, at scale

Team lead and master implementations developer for two and a half years. One-line accessibility fixes, powered by a JavaScript API built to scale, the same remediation applied across a great many customer sites rather than hand-patched one at a time. It is where I learned that accessible and well built are the same sentence.

Claire's, seasonal storefronts at retail speed

Front-end developer on contract over one winter. Seasonal storefront redesigns shipped at retail speed, on Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Retail deadlines do not move because a build is awkward, and a season that ships two weeks late has missed the season entirely.

Stew Leonard's, groceries, wired to checkout

Front-end developer on contract for about a year. A grocery legend's new site, with online shopping wired straight into Instacart, which is the interesting half of the job, because the shop's own pages and somebody else's ordering system have to feel like one thing to a customer who does not care that they are two.

The questions this page invites.

  • Why are there no results or case studies?

    Because I would have to make them up. Screenshots are something I can show you honestly; analytics from somebody else's account, four years after a contract ended, are not mine to publish and in most cases I never had them in the first place. A number I cannot source is worth less than no number, because it teaches you that the rest of the page might be invented too.

  • Were these Front Beach Digital projects?

    No, and that distinction matters enough to say twice. This company was established in 2026. Everything on this page predates it and was done under contract or on staff for the organization that owned the site. What carries over is the person and the 15+ years, which is the part you are actually buying.

  • Where is the local work, then?

    Being built. The first Coast sites are underway and none of them is mine to show yet, a client's site goes on this page when it has launched and the owner has said yes, not before, and not quietly while they are still deciding. When there is one, it appears here with their name on it.

  • These are big organizations. Will you take a small job?

    That is most of the business. A website is $999 rather than five figures because there is no agency overhead behind it, no office, no account managers, no salespeople billing hours to email you.

Your project

The same standard, whatever the size.

A five-page site for a Gulf Coast business and a portal for a regional company get the same engineering. The scope differs. The care does not.
