Miguel Treviño
10+ Years Senior Software Engineer
👨💻 Direct Engineer Accountability
Built by a senior engineer with 10+ years of real-world production experience.
When you hire a traditional design agency, your project is sold by an account manager and handed off to a junior intern or an outsourced contractor who stitches together bloated WordPress plugins.
With AI Builder, you work directly with me: Miguel Treviño. I’ve spent more than a decade designing, scaling, and maintaining mission-critical web applications.
I bring that same high-level engineering rigor to neighborhood business websites:
Zero Fragility
No plugin updates that randomly break your live site on a Saturday night.
100% Owned
Standard Git, HTML & Markdown handoffs. You are never locked in.
Direct Contact
WhatsApp and email directly to the engineer writing your code.
Launch · Grow · Maintain
Three stages · one accountable engineer
Everything your business needs from first live brochure shell to ongoing uptime, backups, and menu updates.
Ship a site visitors actually finish on mobile
Starter pages that respect how people browse after finding you—Maps, flyers, QR codes, referrals.
- Clear hours, address, menus, booking links
- Fast static delivery with Astro-grade performance-by-default patterns
- Copy blocks you own (no walled-garden traps)

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our process, pricing, and engineering standards.
How can you charge $499 when traditional agencies charge $5,000+? ↓
Agencies have heavy overhead: expensive offices, sales executives, project managers, and account liaisons. We are a lean studio operated directly by a senior engineer. By eliminating corporate bureaucracy and utilizing modern static-first frameworks (Astro + Tailwind), we ship better code in 5 days than agencies ship in 3 months.
What difference does a 10+ year engineer make for a local business website? ↓
Junior developers and amateur site builders rely on bulky templates, 40+ third-party WordPress plugins, and uncompressed assets that lead to 5-second mobile load times, frequent crashes, and security vulnerabilities. A senior engineer designs clean, lightweight code that loads in under 500ms on mobile, scores 100/100 on Core Web Vitals, and never crashes.
How fast will my website be ready? ↓
Most Starter builds go live in 5 to 7 days from kickoff. You provide your business details, menu/services, and any photography you have—we build, review with you, and launch.
Do I actually own my website? ↓
Yes, 100%. Unlike proprietary site builders (Wix, Squarespace) or agencies that hold your domain hostage, you own every line of code, asset, and Markdown file. We provide a full Git repository handoff upon request.
What about hosting and domain renewal? ↓
Your first full year of fast CDN hosting and SSL encryption is 100% included in every package. After year one, hosting and ongoing support is optional starting at just $49/mo. You are also completely free to export the site and self-host anywhere.
What if I already own a custom domain? ↓
We connect your existing domain seamlessly (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, Cloudflare, etc.). We provide simple DNS instructions or configure it for you.
