Just websites that work.
Hi, I'm Zach. Every line of code, written by me. Enterprise rigor, local accessibility, zero agency overhead. The same craft that ships compliance-critical systems at Fortune 500 scale goes into every project I take on.

Donations, volunteer signup, event registration, and email outreach that respect your supporters' time and your operational budget.
501(c)(3) discounts available. I built joepro.findzach.dev and I'd love to build yours next.
For Local Grocery Stores & Markets
Beat Instacart at their own game.
Online shopping for pickup or local delivery on your own domain, branded to your store, with payments going straight to your bank. No 15% Instacart markup, no 30% delivery fee on top, no platform owning your customer list.
Built for the way grocery actually moves:
- Digital weekly circulars that update in seconds. Add a sale, push it live, email the list, all in the same five minutes you used to spend just designing the print flyer.
- Loyalty and digital coupons tied to phone number or email. Track redemption, reward your regulars, build a list that's actually yours.
- Email marketing for weekly specials, holiday hours, new arrivals, and recipe inspiration. Industry-average $30+ in revenue per dollar spent on grocery email.
- SNAP / EBT online ordering support for USDA-approved retailers, with the compliant flow your low-income shoppers depend on.
- Inventory-aware product pages so customers don't order what's not on the shelf. Sync with your existing POS or fall back to manual updates.
- Recipe & meal-planning content that turns "I need bread" into "I need everything for Sunday dinner." Real basket-size lift.
Independent grocers compete on freshness, neighborliness, and the names you call when you walk in. Your website should sound like that, not like a chain.
For Dentists, Clinics, Vets & Specialists
A patient experience worth recommending.
The way patients pick a practice today: they Google you, scan reviews, and look at your website on their phone in 30 seconds. If any of those three feel sloppy, they call the next office on the list. I make sure all three feel right.
Built for the way patients actually behave:
- Online appointment booking that ties into your existing scheduling software (Dentrix, OpenDental, Athena, eClinicalWorks) instead of replacing it.
- Secure intake forms hosted on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure (Jotform Healthcare, Formstack, your patient portal). I don't store PHI in custom code.
- New-patient flows that capture insurance, history, and preferences cleanly so your front desk doesn't re-key anything on day one.
- Reviews & reputation. Automated post-visit Google review prompts. Replies that don't accidentally violate HIPAA (the most common compliance mistake practices make online).
- ADA / WCAG accessibility baked in. Healthcare sites are a heavily-targeted vector for accessibility lawsuits.
- Telehealth links and patient education that make your practice feel modern without trying to replace the EMR you trust.
I'm not a HIPAA officer and I won't pretend to be. But I'll build the patient-facing surface of your practice in a way that respects your compliance team and your existing software, not against them.
For Founders, Entrepreneurs & People With Ideas
You bring the idea. I'll build it.
You don't need a co-founder, an offshore team, or a six-figure agency to turn an idea into a real product. You need one experienced developer who will think with you, push back when you're wrong, and ship the thing that actually matters.

Enterprise impact
Full service, end to end:
- Discovery & strategy. We pressure-test the idea before anyone writes code. What's the smallest version that proves the concept? What can wait until v2?
- Design & UX. Done by me, or by a vetted designer partner if your idea needs that level of polish.
- Build & ship. Modern, maintainable code. Your stack, my recommendations, or both. You own everything from day one.
- Launch & support. Hosting, monitoring, analytics, on-call. I stay with the project as long as you want me to.
- Iterate with the data. Real users tell you what to build next. I help you read the signal and ignore the noise.
Real proof, not promises. Things I've shipped end-to-end:
- NoJoke.Cash full-stack personal finance platform with web, mobile, and Windows apps plus Stripe-integrated bank linking.
- ImgSnapz cross-platform screen capture tool with web hosting and a Windows desktop app.
- God's Good Book Bible study web app with 31,000+ verses, search, accounts, and 32 themes.
Honest pricing. Honest timelines. No equity asks, no five-figure retainers just to talk. If your idea is bigger than one developer can handle, I have the network and can handle that too, and will help you build the team you actually need.
For Everyone Else
Don't see your kind of business?
Good. The most interesting projects rarely fit a category. Tell me what you do and what's frustrating you, and I'll tell you what I'd build.
If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you that too — and try to point you to someone who is.
Proudly local
Built right here in
Western New York.
FindZach is based in Canaseraga, NY and works with shops, contractors, restaurants, and service businesses from Rochester and the Finger Lakes down through Hornell and Dansville, covering Monroe, Ontario, Livingston, Steuben, and Allegany counties.
Local means a real person you can call. It means I know your customers because they're my neighbors too. It means the website I build for you isn't some agency template — it's made for the way business actually runs around here.

Who builds your project
Every line of code,
written by me.
Hi, I'm Zach Smith. I've been building production software for 13+ years and have shipped projects for 100+ clients across e-commerce, SaaS, web apps, and creative tools. My work has included enterprise engagements building compliance-critical loan systems in Java Spring Boot, Salesforce, and Apache Camel. That work cut regulatory violation risk by 40% and saved millions annually.
That same enterprise rigor comes to every FindZach project, whether it's a local diner's menu site, a founder's idea, or a community bank's customer-facing portal. One developer, one point of contact, every line of code written by me. No outsourcing, no junior handoffs, no agency pyramid where the person who pitched you disappears after the contract is signed.
For specialty work that isn't development (photography, graphic design, branding, copy), I bring in vetted local partners I've worked with before. You get one point of contact, one invoice, and the right specialist for the job.

Is this a fit?
Not for everyone.
By design.
I take on a small number of projects each quarter so every client gets my best work. The people who get the most out of working with me tend to share a few things.
Good fit if you...
- Want one accountable developer, not a rotating agency team
- Value craft and ownership over the cheapest possible thing
- Welcome honest pushback when a design decision is wrong
- Are ready to commit to building something real
Probably not a fit if you...
- Are shopping primarily on the lowest price
- Want a vendor who builds whatever you ask without question
- Need a 24/7 support desk more than a thoughtful partner
- See your website as a checkbox to tick, not an investment
A fit check, both ways
Free 30-min
consultation.
A 30-minute call to figure out whether your project is the right shape for what I do best, and whether I'm the right partner for what you're trying to build. Honest scope. Honest pushback. Honest pricing.
No pitch. No pressure. Either of us can say it's not a fit.
What we'll cover
- Your goals. What success looks like for the project.
- Scope. What's a v1, what can wait, what's out of scope.
- Budget & timeline. Honest ballpark before we go further.
- Fit. Whether we're both confident in the partnership. If not, I'll point you to someone better suited.
