Services
Most solo agencies are a designer or developer, and they often struggle with the sales side because they've never done it. My career is the sales side, selling everything from $10K to $1 million websites. I help you define the problem, then I bring in the right designer, developer, or team to solve that problem. No overhead, no company keg, although you are welcome to buy me a beer :)
- Website design & development From first sketch to live site using Drupal, WordPress or static site technologies.
- Ongoing support Websites need constant care and attention. Security patches, version upgrades, daily upkeep and content changes are services I can deliver.
- Sales Leadership Need help with your agency? Get in touch.
- Contract Proposal Writing Responding to public sector RFPs is how I've paid the bills for most of this century.
Selected Work
The reality is that most case studies on agency websites are 5+ years old and were mostly completed by people that are no longer at that agency. It's not dishonesty, it's the nature of the business. Turnover in web agencies has always been high, and it's been brutal since 2024. Plus, many of those team members were contractors to begin with. The agency reference doesn't really matter. It's the people you'll be working with that you should care about.
- Government My favorite designers and developers, the folks I'll bring to bear on your project, have worked on everything from small town websites to three letter Federal agencies.
- Higher Education Likewise, the team has worked on projects ranging from a small seminary with 100 students to the Ivy League and Big 10 schools.
- Non profit and Associations Like government projects, but different, is the best way to describe these projects. Again though, we have range from small local service organizations to large international organizations.
- Commercial From the local Veterinarian clinic to Fortune 500 corporations, the problems and solutions really aren't that different. It's mostly a matter of scale.
About
I’m Chris O'Donnell. I built my first website on New Year's Eve 1995, and turned it into a career a few months later. I'm known mostly for my ability to bring in large projects to web agencies, and I've done so to the tune of $20+ million over the last dozen or so years.
With the changes in the economy in 2025 I decided to go freelance. If you need to get something done on the web, I can help. I aspire to work from a camper, but in reality I mostly work from a home office. If you need to build sales in your web agency, I can help with that too.
