Michael Blair. Twenty years in.
I'm the founder, designer, developer, and on-call everything for Zorva Labs. I hand-code every site we ship from a blank Next.js file, host it on Cloudflare's global edge, and maintain it personally. No agency hand-offs, no offshore contractors, no template library. Twenty-plus years of small-business websites means I've already seen most of the problems — and built the playbook to fix them.
Four disciplines. One person shipping them.
- 01Custom web design + hand-coded development
Every site is hand-coded in Next.js — never a template, never a drag-and-drop builder. The result is faster, more accessible, and easier to update than anything Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress can ship.
- 02Modern search optimization (SEO · AIO · AEO · GEO)
Baked into every site from day one. JSON-LD schema, llms.txt, speakable specifications, conversational headings, entity graph — the stack ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity actually cite.
- 03Edge hosting + zero-bloat performance
Cloudflare-grade global edge delivery, daily off-site backups, SSL renewed forever, uptime monitoring, and no plugins to break on the next algorithm update.
- 04Paid media when you're ready to scale
Google Ads + Meta Ads managed weekly under the Zorva Launch plan. Same person designing the site, optimizing the SEO, and tuning the ad creative — no agency hand-offs.
What I've been writing about.
Long-form playbooks on web design, SEO, AI search, paid media, and the actual builds we've shipped. No fluff, no recycled listicles — just what works in 2026.
Need a site that actually works?
Drop me a note and I'll send back a free custom homepage mockup within 3 business days. No call required, no commitment. If you love it, the full site ships in 7 more days under the $57/month Zorva Startup plan.
