Colorado Springs · Hand-coding since 2000

Made by hand. Built to last.

I’m Brian Brixon. I build websites for kennel clubs and the dog world, laser-engrave Celtic and NorseCeltic, Irish and Norse keepsakes, and make software for kennels and dog sports.

How I work

Four things I hold to

  • You own it.

    Your domain, your code, your content. If we ever part ways, every file goes with you.

  • Hand-coded, no page-builder lock-in.

    I write the PHP, HTML and CSS myself, so nothing is hidden behind a plugin you have to keep paying for.

  • Kept running for years, not launched and left.

    I’ve looked after the Colorado Springs Kennel Club’s site since 2017. Updates, security and small changes are part of the job.

  • Perpetual means perpetual.

    A GateKeeper Club Licence is yours to keep, with no per-entry fees and your own choice of payment processor.
