Great websites start
with what you
already know.

I’m Brian Jessee. I’ve built websites for nonprofits, associations, and restaurant groups around Washington, DC since 2009.

A content map: the first thing I make on every project.

Websites shouldn’t be something clients dread.

A client once used that word, “dread,” to describe building a website. Most projects start with wireframes and a request for content, the part developers find easy and clients find hardest. So I changed the order.

Every project now starts with research: interviews with your experts and your customers, and a look at your analytics. That becomes a content plan where every page has a clear job. Then I build a few pages at a time, in two-week rounds, so you review real content in real layouts from the first wireframe.

Selected work

A few of the sites I build and look after.

  • Fishwise homepage: a fisher hauling a net at sunset behind the headline Sustaining ocean ecosystems and the people who depend on them Fishwise (opens fishwise.org in a new tab) Ocean conservation nonprofit. Seven years of continuous work since 2019, including a full rebuild of its interactive maps in 2022.
  • AP Pizza Shop homepage: a cartoon pizza-slice mascot under the words Deck Oven Pizza, with Catering and Order Now buttons AP Pizza Shop (opens appizzashop.com in a new tab) Deck-oven pizza on Bethesda Row. Eight years on the site, with catering, online ordering, and menu schema built in.
  • Sun River Health homepage slide for telemedicine: a patient waving at a doctor on a laptop video call Sun River Health (opens sunriver.org in a new tab) Community health network in New York, in English and Spanish. Its doctor directory went from 2,461 database queries per page to two.

Also Fossette Focacceria (opens in a new tab), NERO (opens in a new tab), RISE (opens in a new tab), and Aventino (opens in a new tab).

What I’m working on now

  • Local marketing for a global hotel brand

    More than 500 hotels are getting their own local stickers and recommendation cards over the next year, without anyone starting from a blank page. Hotels describe their neighborhood, AI drafts the slogans, card copy, and a first sketch, and designers finish the artwork before hotels order prints. I built the whole platform, from the AI workflow and role-based logins to ordering and payments.

  • Local SEO for a six-restaurant group

    Ongoing SEO for All-Purpose Hospitality’s six DC-area restaurants: Google Business Profiles, AI-search files, review responses, and a monthly results dashboard.

    52 → 91 Average score across all six sites on my SEO audit tool, April to September 2026.

Maps and data tools

Custom interactive maps built on each client’s own research, so visitors can explore the data for themselves.

  • Forest and Mill Data Dashboard: a US map shaded by privately owned timberland acres in each state, with a forest ownership bar below Forest & Mill Data Dashboard (opens nafo.org/dashboard in a new tab) State-by-state data on private forests and mills for the National Alliance of Forest Owners
  • Seascape: a world map of 227 seafood traceability, counter-IUU fishing and social responsibility efforts, with a filter list beside it Seascape (opens fishwise.org/salt/seascape-map in a new tab) A world map of seafood traceability, illegal fishing, and social responsibility efforts for Fishwise
  • Indian Shrimp Aquascape: a map of Andhra Pradesh districts beside a list of 48 shrimp farming initiatives Indian Shrimp Aquascape (opens fishwise.org/aquascape in a new tab) Initiatives improving shrimp farming in Andhra Pradesh, India, mapped by district for Fishwise
