Hi, I’m Jacob. I handle your website end to end, so you can get back to running your business.
I’m a senior software engineer with ten years of experience building websites and web apps for startups and large companies. Over the years, I watched friends and family pay too much for websites they couldn’t update themselves, or spend hours trying to build one themselves that still didn’t look or work the way they wanted.
They kept coming to me for help, so I started Searchbar Studio to do the same for other small business owners.
You work directly with me, and I build you a website you’re proud to show your clients. You can easily update your content from a simple dashboard, or just send me a request and I’ll handle it for you.
I’m based in Tempe, working with businesses across the Phoenix metro and clients anywhere in the U.S.
