Jacksonville, FL | Veteran-Owned
Websites That Work For Jacksonville Small Businesses
Fixed-price, no-retainer web design from a Navy veteran who builds it, hands it over, and lets you own it. No fluff, no subscriptions, just a site that brings you customers.
What We Do
Everything your business needs online
One fixed price. One handoff. You walk away with a site you own.
Custom Website Design and Build
A clean, fast, mobile-ready website built specifically for your business. No templates dressed up as custom work. No drag-and-drop builders that slow you down. Performance-optimized for fast load times and better Google rankings.
CMS Setup and Training
You get a simple content management system so you can update text, photos, and hours yourself. No ticket systems, no waiting on a developer for every small change. One-on-one walkthrough so you know exactly how it works.
Local SEO Foundation
Your site is built with the structure search engines need to find you. Proper heading structure, metadata, and schema markup. Google Business Profile alignment. Fast, mobile-friendly pages that Google rewards.
How It Works
From handshake to handoff in weeks!
Discovery and Scope
We talk about your business, your customers, and what you need the site to do. You get a fixed price quote before anything starts. No surprises, no scope creep, no hourly billing.
Design and Build
I build your site, start to finish. You see progress along the way and get a chance to weigh in. Clean code, real design decisions, no page-builder shortcuts.
Review and Refine
You review the finished site on a staging link. We make adjustments until it is right. Direct feedback, direct changes, no layers of project managers.
Handoff and Training
The site goes live on your domain. You get the keys: CMS access, a personal walkthrough, and full ownership. One payment, one handoff, your site.
Technical experience, plus a BS in Computer Science
You know the cost upfront. No hidden fees.
Methodical, precise work ethic from naval service
Jacksonville roots. Your neighbors, not a remote agency.
Why Shoemaker Solutions
A different kind of web team
Josh Shoemaker
Seven years in the Navy as an avionics instructor and electronics technician, then a BS in Computer Science. I build every site myself, hand you the keys, and stay reachable when you have questions.
You Own It, Completely
After handoff, the site and CMS are yours. All of it. No ongoing fees to access your own content, no lock-in, no retainer holding your site hostage. You paid for it; you own it.
Direct Communication
You talk to the person building your site. No account managers, no ticket queues, no agency jargon. Questions get straight answers, and decisions don't get lost in layers of people.
Veteran Discipline
Seven years in the Navy taught me to do the job right the first time. Thorough, reliable, and accountable. When I say it will be done, it gets done. BS in Computer Science from SNHU backs up the technical side.
Direct web design, built on discipline.
I'm Josh Shoemaker, a Jacksonville-based web developer and seven-year Navy veteran. I spent my service as an Avionics Instructor and Electronics Technician, teaching complex systems and maintaining mission-critical equipment. That experience shaped how I work: methodical, precise, and direct.
After the Navy, I earned a BS in Computer Science from Southern New Hampshire University, building on the technical foundation I already had. I also hold a BA in History, because understanding how things got here matters whether you're studying the past or building for the future.
Shoemaker Solutions exists for one reason: Jacksonville small businesses deserve better websites than what the template mills and retainer agencies are offering. HVAC companies, plumbers, landscapers, restaurants, law firms, contractors. Businesses with under ten employees that either have no online presence or one that hurts more than it helps.
My model is simple. Fixed price, one-time build. You own the site and the CMS when we're done. No retainers, no subscriptions, no handcuffs. Just a professional website that brings in customers and a developer who answers your questions in plain English.
Your business deserves a website that pulls its weight
If your current site isn't bringing in customers, or you don't have one at all, let's fix that. One conversation, one fixed price, one handoff. No strings attached.
Let's TalkLet's Talk
Start with a conversation
No sales pitch, no pressure. Tell me about your business and what you need. I'll tell you honestly what it'll take and what it'll cost. If we're a good fit, we move forward. If not, I'll point you in the right direction.
