Hi, I'm John Gresh. I build fast, clean websites and web apps for small businesses in Winston-Salem and across the country. My background is in mechatronics and software — so I care about how things actually work, not just how they look.
Fixed price. Two-week launches. No retainers. You own the code and the domain from day one. Tell me what you need and I'll quote by morning.
John Gresh is an independent developer working with a small number of clients each year. The approach is considered: fewer sites, more care per site.
Each build is tailored, hand-coded, and owned entirely by the client. Based in Winston-Salem. Available by appointment.

An independent developer working from a small studio on Buckingham Road in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. A background in mechatronics at North Carolina State and ten years of production code at companies in Raleigh and Charlotte before the studio opened its doors in the spring of 2025.
Small businesses seldom need a six-figure agency. What they need is a site that works on a phone, loads quickly on the Piedmont's uneven cellular, and someone who picks up the line in the evening when a form starts dropping submissions from the contact page.
Outside the studio: a slow runner, a patient golden retriever named Birdie, and a long-standing and unsuccessful feud with the crepe myrtle out front.
Calls are free and unscripted. Most projects begin within the fortnight after a scope is signed. The studio is small by design; two or three engagements run at a time, no more.
