About Us

Your trusted web partner

Hi, I’m Josh, the owner and lead developer of Catalyst Web Studios. I started this business because I saw how small businesses often struggled with overpriced, outdated, or cookie-cutter websites that didn’t reflect their brand. My mission is simple: to provide affordable, custom, hand-coded websites that are fast, reliable, and designed to help your business grow—all for just $150/month, with no upfront costs.

Why I do this

I started Catalyst because I saw a gap in the market—small businesses often don’t have the budget for big upfront costs or the time to deal with the frustrations of page builders. My $150/month model is built to solve that problem. It’s affordable, transparent, and ensures you get a website that actually works for your business.

What you can expect

When you work with me, you’re not just getting a developer—you’re getting a partner who’s invested in your success. Whether it’s unlimited edits, 24/7 support, or simply someone who takes the time to understand your business, I’m here to make sure your website helps your business grow.
