I Live in Clatskanie, Oregon — and I Build Websites

If you're a small business in Columbia County, Clatsop County, or the lower Columbia region, I can build you a website locally. No big agency, no outsourcing, no templates.

My name is Kyle, and I'm a full-stack web developer living right here in Clatskanie, Oregon. I build websites, web apps, directories, tools, and pretty much anything that runs in a browser.

I'm not a big agency. I'm one person who actually lives in this area, understands the local market, and builds things from scratch. When you work with me, you're talking directly to the person writing the code — not a project manager or a sales rep.

Areas I Serve

I work with small businesses, contractors, shops, and anyone who needs a web presence in the lower Columbia region:

  • Clatskanie
  • Astoria
  • Longview
  • Kelso
  • St. Helens
  • Rainier
  • Scappoose
  • Warrenton
  • Seaside
  • Vernonia
  • Columbia City
  • Cathlamet
  • Woodland
  • Kalama

I'm happy to meet in person if you're nearby, or work remotely — whatever works best for you.

What I Build

  • Business websites — clean, fast, mobile-friendly sites that show up in Google
  • Contractor directories — like pnw.contractors, which I built for our area
  • Online tools & apps — scheduling, booking, inventory, whatever your business needs
  • SEO — I build sites that rank. Not just pretty pages, but pages that actually bring in customers
  • E-commerce — sell products or services online
  • Hosting & maintenance — I can handle the whole thing so you don't have to think about it

What I've Built

I don't just talk about building things — here are real projects I've shipped:

  • BabyNa.me — 164,000+ baby names across 21 countries, with real government data
  • PNW Contractors — free contractor directory for Columbia County, Oregon
  • Slodds — free browser tools, 14+ games, and this blog
  • Boooks.ai — AI-powered book discovery
  • FactFacts — 11,000+ random facts
  • BestAIFor — AI tool reviews and comparisons
  • Trading bots, data pipelines, admin dashboards, and more

Why Work With a Local Developer?

Big web agencies charge $5,000–$15,000 for a basic site and take months. They hand you a WordPress template, slap your logo on it, and call it custom. Then they charge you monthly for "maintenance" that's mostly just updating plugins.

I build from scratch. Your site is actually yours — custom code, no bloated plugins, fast load times, and built to rank in search. And because I live here, I actually understand the local market. I know what people in St. Helens and Astoria are searching for. I know what a contractor in Rainier needs versus what some agency in Portland thinks they need.

Interested? Shoot me an email at kylesloderbeck@gmail.com or fill out the contact form on my about page. Tell me what you need and I'll get back to you fast.

Whether you need a simple business site, a full web app, or just someone to fix what you've already got — I'm right here in Clatskanie and I'm ready to build.
