Let's build a website you love.
I build fast, modern websites for Springfield-area businesses — flat rates at about half a typical agency quote, tested like software, and yours to keep. 417 Web Co is a one-man shop: your money pays the person who actually builds your site, and it stays in the Ozarks.
Why me
Built like software, not like a brochure.
Actually tested
Before starting this shop, I spent seven years as the sole QA engineer on a high-traffic federal government website. Every site I ship comes with an automated test suite that runs before every single update.
Fast where it counts
Google ranks fast sites higher, and customers bounce from slow ones. I build static-first sites that load in a blink on a phone in a parking lot — my last rebuild cut page weight by 85%.
You own everything
Your domain, your content, your code. If I disappeared tomorrow, your site keeps running and any developer could pick it up. Compare that to a page-builder subscription that holds your site hostage.
Keep it local
Your dollars pay for work, not overhead.
A big agency invoice covers a CEO, an HR department, a sales team, and an office lease before anyone touches your website. 417 Web Co is one person: Peter Hartman, an engineer born and raised in the 417, working from Nixa, Missouri. When you hire me, every dollar pays the person who actually designs, builds, and tests your site — and it stays in the community instead of leaving town. I take on a couple of builds a month, so every project gets my full attention.
Recent work
A leaner, tested site for a local contractor.
Springfield outdoor contractor
A local contractor was on an agency-built platform with a monthly fee and a page far heavier than it needed to be. I rebuilt it the way I build everything — carefully, and tested: 17 pages, 85% lighter, per-city landing pages for local search, an automated test suite, and hosting & care at half the going rate — with the code and content theirs to keep.
