Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, over 99% of businesses in the U.S. are classified as small businesses by the SBA (less than 500 employees and privately owned).

That's the world I grew up in. My dad was a farmer, and my grandfather owned a small construction company. I worked for both of them as a teenager, and for many other small businesses as I started my career. I've seen firsthand the challenges business owners face: the late nights, the uncertainty, and the constant pressure to adapt in a rapidly changing world, especially with technology advancing faster than ever.
Small business owners are the unsung heroes of our communities, yet they're often under-served by the tech industry. Many tech companies over complicate things with jargon, and overpriced packages. These are the customers I want to serve, hardworking people who deserve straightforward, honest help with their websites and online presence.
