About

Hi, I'm Justin.

Photographer. Lighting designer. Web builder. Peoria, IL.

My Story

Every detail matters.

I've spent the last eight years behind a camera. Commercial work, real estate, events — if it needed to be captured well, I showed up. That same eye for detail found its way into web design when I started building sites for small businesses here in Peoria, and it turned out the work wasn't all that different.

My background is in live production — I design lighting for shows and install full AVL systems in churches and concert venues across Central Illinois. In that world, a single overlooked connection can bring the whole system down on the night it matters most. I build websites the same way: every detail deliberate, every piece accounted for, nothing left to chance.

Mostly though, I just love people. I don't need a big reason to help. If I can make someone's day a little better — a business owner finally proud of their website, a church with a stage that feels professional — that's enough for me.

Work With Me
"One bad connection brings down the whole system. I don't build things that fail."
— Justin, The Dove Design Co.
01

Photography

Eight years shooting commercial, real estate, and events. I know what makes a business look its best — and I shoot content for every website I build.

02

Web Design & Development

Custom-coded sites for small businesses across Central Illinois. No templates, no shortcuts — built right from the start.

03

Lighting & AVL

Live production lighting design and full AVL installs for churches and concert venues. Precision work that taught me to never overlook the details.

Questions

Things people
usually ask.

Most Starter sites take 2–3 weeks. Standard sites take 3–5 weeks. Timelines depend on how quickly we finalize content and how many revision rounds we go through. I'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Content shoot is included with every new website build — I'll come to you and photograph your space, your work, and your team at no extra charge. For copy, I can help you structure and refine what you want to say. You know your business; I'll help you say it well.
Small tweaks (text updates, new images) are included in the first month. For ongoing changes, I offer monthly maintenance plans starting at $75/month — or I can handle one-off requests at an hourly rate.
Not at all. I handle everything technical. You focus on your business and tell me what you need — I'll translate that into a great website without burying you in jargon.
Just fill out the contact form with a bit about your project. From there, we'll hop on a quick call to talk through your goals, and I'll send you a custom quote. No commitment required for that first conversation.
Yes. I typically split projects into two payments: 50% upfront to kick things off, and 50% on launch. For larger projects, we can discuss a payment schedule that works for you.
