THE STUDIO
Twenty years building the web. Now building what's next.
The other half of the double life: websites, hosting, SEO — and lately, AI workflows that actually save businesses time instead of just impressing them in a demo.
SINCE 2004
Live Web Studios
Jon has owned and run Live Web Studios since 2004 — web design, development, hosting, and SEO for businesses that need their site to work as hard as they do. Two decades of launches, migrations, and redesigns, all under one roof.
Business inquiries belong over there: livewebstudios.com. This page is the short version — the agency sites have the full story, the services, and the door.
THE NEW INSTRUMENT
AI workflows for real businesses.
The current direction: AI consulting and AI workflow design — helping small businesses figure out where AI genuinely fits in their operations, and teaching teams to use the tooling without the hype.
The shape of the work: a walkthrough of how the business actually runs, an honest map of where AI saves real hours versus where it wastes them, and hands-on setup of the two or three workflows that earn their keep — with the team trained to run them on their own.

AUTOMATION
The busywork, handed off to the machines.
This site runs on that exact stack. The proof loads in under a second.
We've played weddings, festivals, theaters, and rooms with twelve people in them. The twelve-person rooms taught us more. There's nowhere to hide and no reason to.
Wondering what AI could do for your business?
That's exactly the conversation Jon is having right now.
We should talk about this.
