Which is why I do not talk to plumbers and contractors the way agencies do.
In 2010 I was assembling electronic parts and soldering cables in a San Jose shop. Then quality control, reading blueprints and inspecting units. From there I moved into tech support at Microsoft, then Barracuda Networks, then pre-sales engineering at Proofpoint in Sunnyvale, and today I lead customer support at a cybersecurity company. Sixteen years of fixing things for people who were frustrated and needed a straight answer.
I got the CCNA and a Linux administrator certification at Mission College in Santa Clara along the way. I mention them because they are why your site is hand coded on a server I understand, not dragged together in a page builder.
Latino and Hispanic business owners across the Bay Area do excellent work and run entirely on word of mouth. Word of mouth moved online: Google first, and now ChatGPT. The businesses I grew up around are invisible there. They get $199 template ads on one side and $8,000 agency quotes on the other, and both sides talk to them like they cannot understand what they are buying.
So the rules here are simple. Prices are published. English and Spanish are both written, not translated. You own your domain and your code. And the person who answers the phone is the person who built the site. I am not doing this to get rich; I have a job. I am doing it because these businesses deserve to be found.
Working from San Jose: see every city I cover.
Twenty minutes, no pitch. You will know in the first two whether I am talking to you like a person.
