Our story

It started with one website, then people started asking.

Benjamin first wrote code to solve his own problem: he wanted a better, free way for engineering students to study for the FE exam, so he built one. FE Mech Prep now helps students across the country, and UCF's EXCEL STEM program shares it with its students.

Then a Tallahassee CPA asked if we could fix his cluttered website. He loved the result so much he launched it on a second domain. Now we do this together, for businesses and individuals who want something better than a template.
