Your business is bigger than its website. I build what supports it.
Looking for a web designer in Mississippi—or a consultant who understands the technology behind your business? You tell me how your company works, what you’re trying to create, and what people keep getting wrong about it. I listen—and help turn your words into a digital presence and operating experience that finally reflects the business behind them.
What you see on the screen is only the surface.
I am Dusty McLean—a Mississippi-based technologist, business owner, and digital systems strategist. A website may be the first thing a customer notices. Behind it are all the decisions, systems, and moving parts that make a business work.
Depending on the engagement, my role can extend from the brand’s public presence to the architecture beneath it: commerce operations, checkout and payment-provider integrations, product information, customer journeys, analytics foundations, connected platforms, and ongoing technical guidance.
I work with the people responsible for the business. The scope is agreed privately. I do not publish a proprietary technical playbook or disclose client-sensitive operational details.
Beautiful on the outside. Thoughtful all the way down.
Need a Mississippi web designer or technology consultant?
Maybe you searched “I need a website,” “website designer near me,” “web designer Mississippi,” or “someone to fix my website.” You’re in the right place. I help business owners plan, build, redesign, and manage professional websites that actually make sense to their customers.
Build My Website
Private website design and complete custom builds for business owners who have a vision but need a technical partner.
Fix or Redesign My Website
Help with confusing pages, outdated websites, unclear messaging, mobile issues, customer journeys and website improvements.
Set Up an Online Store
Support for Shopify, WooCommerce, product catalogs, checkout and suitable payment-provider integrations.
Based in Mississippi and available for scoped remote consulting throughout the United States. No public prices—every project is reviewed and quoted individually.
One trusted technical counterpart. A much bigger picture.
You should not have to explain your company separately to a designer, a developer, a catalog specialist, and the person dealing with the technical systems. My work can connect these moving parts into one coherent direction—without requiring you to understand the machinery underneath.
Brand & Digital Presence
Clear positioning, beautiful websites, thoughtful navigation, and language that reflects your company’s real voice and purpose.
Commerce & Checkout
Storefront strategy, catalog architecture, buying journeys, and coordination of suitable third-party payment and checkout integrations.
Digital Infrastructure
Practical architecture for the connected platforms, tools, and operational workflows that support your online business.
Company Data Integrity
Verified business facts, accurate content, useful site structure, and eligible structured data that represent what you actually do.
Customer Experience
More intentional pathways from first introduction to inquiry, purchase, support, and lasting trust.
Ongoing Stewardship
When agreed in scope, a continuing technical relationship for refinement, decisions, updates, and keeping the business aligned as it grows.
Payment processing is provided by the client’s approved third-party providers. I advise on and support suitable implementations; I do not act as a bank or payment processor.
Everything I can help you build, improve or understand.
From website help to research, business systems and notary inquiries, this is a practical directory of the ways I can help. Each project is scoped to fit your situation. Based in Mississippi; digital consulting may be available remotely nationwide. Notarial acts are handled separately and only within applicable Mississippi requirements.

Not sure which service you need? That’s what the guided project application is for. Describe the problem in your own words and I’ll help identify the right questions. Notary inquiries: contact me separately for appointment eligibility and availability. No remote notarization or legal advice is advertised.
You speak. I understand. We make it real.
The Private Conversation
You tell me what your business is, where it’s going, and what you wish the world understood. I listen, ask questions, and help uncover what really matters.
The Clear Direction
I translate that understanding into a practical proposal: the priorities, the work, the scope, and the right level of investment for the engagement.
The Transformation
For accepted projects, we may work together live while pages and decisions take shape, with dedicated implementation time for the deeper technical work.
The Long View
You receive agreed documentation, a responsible handoff, and—when commissioned—continuing support as the company evolves.
“Tell me about your company in your own words. I’ll help your digital world finally tell the same story.”Dusty McLean · Private Technologist & Digital Strategist
The right investment is personal. The standard never changes.
There is no public rate card, instant checkout, or generic package to select. Every inquiry starts with a private conversation. I develop proposals around the actual scope, complexity, responsibility, deliverables, and dedicated time a project requires.
A growing independent business and a mature enterprise may need different kinds of work. Neither should pay for services it doesn’t need. The goal is a thoughtful proposal, not an arbitrary surcharge for being successful.
If relevant, we may discuss business stage, approximate annual business revenue, or a comfortable investment range privately and voluntarily to help right-size the engagement. Personal credit scores are not required to request a consultation. Exact fees and terms are presented only in a written proposal.
Is this an online service I can buy instantly?
No. This is a consultation-led private professional service, not a retail product or prepackaged website purchase. After an initial inquiry, suitable work is scoped and quoted individually.
Will I work directly with you?
Yes. Direct, one-on-one interaction is central to the experience. Any outside specialist participation or additional implementation support would be disclosed and agreed in the project scope.
Do you share your methods or client systems?
I explain decisions, agreed deliverables, and what clients need to operate their own systems responsibly. My independent workflows, private methods, and other clients’ confidential details are not published.
Can you help with payment systems?
Where appropriate, I can help evaluate and implement integrations with eligible third-party payment providers, checkout experiences, and related digital workflows. Approval, underwriting, fees, and processing remain with the chosen provider.
Do you guarantee rankings or sales?
No. I can help improve site quality, accuracy, structure, and commerce readiness. Search visibility, provider decisions, and commercial performance depend on factors beyond any consultant’s control.
Website help, without the jargon.
Can someone build a website for my small business?
Yes. I provide private web design consulting and custom website development. We start by talking through your business, what your customers need and the scope of the build.
Can you fix an existing website?
Yes, where the platform and project are a fit. I can review the structure, content, ecommerce experience and technical needs of an existing WordPress, WooCommerce or Shopify website.
Can you help me start selling online?
I can help plan and build online store experiences, organize products and connect suitable checkout and payment-provider services. Approval and payment processing remain with the provider.
What kind of consultant are you?
I am a Mississippi-based website designer and technology consultant specializing in websites, Shopify, WooCommerce, technical strategy, e-commerce and connected business systems. I offer project-specific consulting rather than general help-desk or consumer computer repair.
Do you work with businesses outside Mississippi?
Yes. My consulting work is Mississippi-based, and remote engagements can be scoped with businesses elsewhere in the United States.
How much does website design cost?
I do not publish generic prices. The investment depends on your business goals, the complexity and amount of work, the systems involved and the time reserved. You’ll receive a written proposal for an agreed scope.
Your next move starts with a conversation—not a checkout.
Tell me what you’re building, the systems that need attention, and what a successful engagement would change for you. You don’t need a polished brief. I want to hear the real story.
Private inquiries are reviewed individually. Acceptance, scope, scheduling, and fees are confirmed in writing. Please do not send credit reports, identification documents, bank details, payment card information, or passwords in an initial inquiry.
