Seventeen years building the web

I'm Chris Holtzlander. I've designed and built websites in Phoenix since 2009, through every shift the web has thrown at me.

Table layouts gave way to CSS, then to frameworks, then to whole platforms. Sites moved from desktops to phones, and now to whatever an AI assistant can read aloud. I have built through all of it: not by chasing every trend, but by keeping what works and quietly retiring what does not.

That is a long time to keep clients happy one project at a time. The work that lasts is the work I am proud of, so that is the only kind I ship.

  1. 2009

    d1git opens its doors

    A freelance design and web shop, one set of hands, taking on whatever a small business actually needs to get online.

  2. 2010s

    Hosting, servers and domains come in-house

    Rather than hand clients off to a registrar and a host, I took it all on: managed hosting, the domains pointed where they should be.

  3. 2020s

    AI joins the toolkit

    Chatbots that answer real questions, AI-assisted builds, automations that quietly remove busywork. New tools, same standard: useful, honest, built to last.

  4. Today

    Web, AI and everything in between

    Domains, hosting, design, code and AI, all under one roof, all owned end to end by the person you spoke to.

A home-based Phoenix studio

Home-based by design, not by accident. The savings go into your project, not a lobby with a fish tank.

I run lean on purpose. No commercial lease, no front desk, no overhead you quietly pay for in your invoice. What you get instead is a studio that picks up the phone, replies within one business day, and treats your budget like my own.

I am proudly local to Phoenix, Arizona, and I work with clients across the valley and well beyond it. There is no street address to visit, and that is the point: the work happens at the keyboard, and the door I keep open is the phone line.

One person owns it

The person who quotes your project is the person who builds it, hosts it, and answers when it needs something later.

At most agencies your work changes hands a dozen times: a salesperson promises, an account manager relays, a junior builds, and the brief gets quieter with every step. Here, nothing is lost in translation, because there is no translation. One owner, start to finish.

  • No account managers. You email the maker, not a middle layer paid to manage you.

  • No handoffs. Design, build and hosting live in one head, so context never leaks out a side door.

  • One number. Call (602) 527-2827 and you reach the studio directly, today, not a queue.

  • Real accountability. When one person owns the whole thing, there is nobody else to point at, and that keeps me honest.

  • Trained on the tools. Anthropic's AI Fluency for Small Businesses certificate, May 2026. Verify it.

The whole idea

"Seventeen years in, the work that lasts is the work one person was proud to put their name on. So that is still the only way I build it."

How I work

Step 01

Brief & quote

I start with a short, honest conversation about what you actually need. You leave with one fixed quote and a clear scope, no hourly meter, no surprises.

Discovery · Scope · Fixed quote

Step 02

Design & build

The same hands that quoted it now design and build it. You see real progress, you give real feedback, and you talk to the maker the whole way through.

Design · Develop · Review

Step 03

Launch & host

I point the domain, tune the server, and put it live on hosting I run myself. Then I stay on, because the person who built it is the one who keeps it running.

Launch · Host · Support

The breadth that makes it rare

Most studios do one slice. I handle the domain, the design, the code, the AI and the servers, all under one roof.

That is the unusual part. You can find a designer, or a developer, or a host, or a registrar. Finding all of them in one person, who has done it for seventeen years, is the rare bit. It means nothing falls in the gap between two vendors, because there is only ever one.

See everything I do

Web

01

Design and development that loads fast, ranks, and converts.

AI

02

Chatbots, automations and integrations that handle the busywork.

Hosting

03

Managed hosting I set up and watch myself.

Domains

04

Search, register and manage the right name, then wire it to everything else.

What I stand on

01

Honest fixed quotes

You get one fixed quote up front, never an open-ended hourly meter. If the scope changes, I say so before the work, not after the invoice.

02

Built to last

I build sites to outlive the launch: clean code, sensible foundations, and choices you will not have to rip out in a year. Built to last, not just to look good on day one.

03

Hosting with a backstop

Your site runs on servers I manage, monitor and back up myself. When something needs attention, I already have the keys. Hosting, domains and email bought through me sit on GoDaddy's platform, so their 24/7 support stands behind me.

Talk to the studio

No contact form maze, no ticket number. Call, email, or send a brief, and you reach the person who does the work.

Tell me roughly what you are thinking and I will reply within one business day with honest next steps and one fixed quote. No sales pressure, no obligation.
