Custom websites, front-end systems, UX/UI engineering, and consulting for organizations, agencies, and established direct clients.
Start a project
Chris Spurlock
I design and build websites and interfaces.
I help businesses and teams work out what customers or staff need. I turn the requirements into a plan and stay with the work through production.
Selected Work
Four projects from a much larger portfolio
These four are a small sample of a much larger body of work, spanning UI design, custom WordPress, data visualization, and front-end development for clients and agency partners.
One site for coaching, courses, commerce, and community
I led UI design and QA for a custom WordPress site that brought coaching, courses, commerce, and community into one system.
UX/UI Design Quality Assurance
A regional progress site with more than 60 charts and hundreds of initiatives
Working with Tremendousness, I built an accessible front end with more than 60 charts, hundreds of initiatives, and Tableau and ArcGIS integrations.
Front-End Development Data Visualization Collaboration
A parent-friendly custom site for a nature-focused childcare center
I designed, developed, and managed a custom WordPress build with classroom pages, calendars, galleries, and print-friendly tools for parents.
Design Development Project Management
A responsive member dashboard for a large HR resource library
I led UX/UI design, development, and project management for a responsive member dashboard built with Tailwind.

Two ways to work together
I take on custom work for organizations and agencies, plus focused website projects for small businesses in St. Charles County. Either way, you’ll work directly with me.
Local business websites
Small, fast websites, managed hosting, online visibility audits, and business listing cleanup for small businesses in St. Charles County.

What I can help you build
Start with the business problem. I’ll help work out what needs to happen next and whether I’m the right person to do it.
Planning and UX/UI
Work out what the product needs to do and how people should move through it. I use workflows or prototypes when they help answer those questions.
Custom WordPress and modern front-end development
Build production-ready websites and interfaces from custom designs, including requirements a page builder cannot handle.
Accessible, responsive interface engineering
Create interfaces that work across devices, input methods, real content, and the constraints a static mockup cannot show.
Testing and technical quality
After launch, I use feedback and analytics to find what needs work. Accessibility and performance checks are part of the build from the start.
Technical direction and consulting
When a team keeps revisiting the same decision, I document the options and recommend a way forward.
Integrations, dashboards, and data visualization
Connect websites to outside systems and build dashboards, maps, and charts that explain complex data.
What clients and collaborators say
Chris is a coveted member of any team and a genuinely delightful human to be around. His technical know-how is top-tier, and I’d bring him any challenge—technical or organizational—knowing he’d offer not just a thoughtful solution, but a fresh perspective.
Bob Schuster
Agency Owner & Creative Director
He grasps the ‘why’ behind each project, ensuring his solutions are both elegant and effective in achieving client goals. His attention to detail and creative problem-solving don’t just result in beautiful, functional websites, they elevate the work of everyone around him.
Alex Linek
Senior Web Developer
Organizations and agencies I’ve worked with
I’ve worked with local businesses, nonprofits, institutions, and national brands, both directly and through agency partnerships.
Each of these websites was built either by me alone or in close collaboration with a teammate.
Tell me about the project
I work full-time as a senior UX/UI engineer and take on a small number of independent website, front-end, and consulting projects.
I read every inquiry myself and usually reply within two business days. I’ll only use your details to reply.
- After you send: tell me the problem, who it serves, and any timing or budget.
- I’ll reply with a few questions and, if it fits, suggest a time to talk.
- Together we define the next step — a proposal, a paid discovery, or a referral.
