25 years of building the web.
I'm Tom Dean. I build websites and the systems behind them, from strategy and design to payments, AI tools and the servers they run on. One person, start to finish.
Twenty-five years on the web.
I started in IT, running networks and servers for small businesses, and built my first website in 2001. I still do both: I build the site, and I make sure everything behind it is fast, secure and keeps running.
D3 is just me, Thomas W. Dean III (Dean, the third). I take a project from the first conversation through design, development, launch and hosting, so nothing gets lost in a handoff.
Lately that means membership platforms, Stripe billing, marketing automation and AI tools built with Claude, alongside the everyday sites businesses depend on.
Everything a site needs.
Strategy, brand, design, code, payments, AI, marketing and the servers it all runs on. One person, start to finish, and I write every line.
-
Strategy and consulting
What the site has to do, who it's for, and the plan to get there. Stack audits and second opinions too.
-
Branding
Names, logo marks, color systems and a typographic voice that holds up everywhere the brand appears.
-
Web design
Editorial-grade interfaces with type that reads like a magazine, designed as one system from homepage to member portal.
-
Web development
Laravel, Statamic and custom builds. Member directories, portals, dashboards and whatever else the project needs.
-
E-commerce and payments
Stripe subscriptions, memberships and coupons, with webhooks that keep everything in sync without admin work.
-
AI integration
Claude-powered tools like a conversational case estimator, with the rate limits and spend caps that keep them safe.
-
SEO
Technical SEO, structured data, Core Web Vitals and landing pages built to rank.
-
Marketing automation
Email drips, monthly campaigns and lead flows that run on their own once they're set up.
-
Hosting and security
Servers, deploys, backups, security headers and encryption. The unglamorous work that keeps a site up and safe.
