Full-Time Travel, Simple Living, Airstream Renovation

Jonathan Longnecker • Phoenix, AZ
Created 6 years ago in Other

We've been traveling full-time since 2015 and have helped hundreds of people realize their dream of living tiny on the road by providing inspiration and highly detailed articles and videos explaining the ins and outs of full-time travel. In 2016 we totally renovated a vintage Airstream that has been covered in Dwell, Good Morning America, Love What Matters, and Popsugar. This whole process was documented on our site, and we have helped many work through their own renovation processes. Running two businesses from the road gives us a unique viewpoint for entrepreneurs on the go. Let's connect and help you determine the next best step for your business, travel dream, or renovation.

Where can I find a web designer who is still willing to create a website with HTML, CSS, and Javascript rather than insisting on Wordpress?

The way I usually explain it is that there are a ton of great, off-the-shelf solutions like Squarespace, Weebly, and even WordPress with a Template that allow a small business owner to get a nice looking functional site up quickly and cheaply.

But at some point, you can't look exactly like 100 other companies that used the same template. Or maybe you have some edge cases that the pre-built stuff just won't do.

That's when you need something custom. I much prefer to design and code everything from scratch for my clients so they get exactly what they need.

Now, you'll most likely still need some sort of content management system so you can update and publish pages yourself, but I, too have many concerns with WP and use Craft CMS instead because of it's flexibility.

As far as hosting, there are a few things going on. A good web developer will know what hosts are fast, solid, secure, and easy to use. The reason we often push platforms we are familiar with is because it's easy to rack up huge bills dealing with sub-par hosting and we are trying to save you money.

Or the opposite is going on, and that developer has a white label relationship with the hosting company and wants that recurring revenue from you, regardless of whether that host is the best choice for you.

I prefer to tell clients who to host with to save them development costs, but let them pay themselves so they have full control over everything should we ever decide to part ways.

Happy to chat if you have any more questions.

Jonathan designed the Edgepoint Church Web-site and our logos. In the past 12 months the site has recieved over 650,000 hits. www.edgepointchurch.com has been given great reviews on several church and web-design blogs. We are extremely happy with the site and 47 media. I wouldn't recommend anyone who wants an ordinary site with no creativity to Johnathan. BUT, if you want a kick awesome site that get you or your company noticed, get Johnathan to look at your project today. I promise you will thank him later.

I've worked with many web developers over the years, but none as responsive as Jonathan. While working together, we often presented him with SEM (or just plain Marketing) requirements that called for creative problem solving skills, as well as technical know-how. He always exceeded our expectations and deadlines with a smile on his face. You won't be disappointed in hiring Jonathan & FortySeven Media.
