> CKURO.ART / BUILD_
I'm Julian Waits, the person behind C. Kuro. I designed and built this site, accounts and payments included, after eight-plus years in tech, from Apple to MSP help desks to selling remote-support software. Now I build sites, bots and tools for small businesses, bands and anyone whose printer has personally wronged them.
One page that says who you are, what you do and how to reach you. Built for phones first, loads fast, and your domain gets hooked up properly.
Around five pages: home, services, about, contact, plus the one thing your customers keep asking for, like a menu, a booking link or a gallery. Google can find it, and the contact form lands in your inbox.
I keep it running: updates, uptime checks, small text and photo changes. If something breaks, you text me and I answer the same day. Cancel any month.
If you do the same clicks every day, a script can probably do them for you. If it can't, I'll tell you before you pay for anything.
Built for how your server actually runs, not a bot off a list you end up fighting with.
Logins, payments, a database and an admin side to run it. The same kind of build as the site you're on right now.
Home or small office. The stuff that eats your afternoon, sorted by someone who's done it for a living.
Fifteen or twenty minutes on the phone or a video call. You tell me what you need, I ask the annoying questions now so nobody's surprised later.
I send back one page with what I'll build, the price and a target date. You sign off, or we change it until you can.
50% up front, the rest when it's live. Every invoice comes from me, with my name on it.
Once the final invoice is paid, the domain, the logins and the code are yours. Anything licensed, like hosting or a paid plugin, gets set up in your name. Nothing is held hostage.
The site you're on. Accounts and sign-in, Stripe payments, an admin panel, a blog, and a marketplace engine waiting for its first artists. I designed and built it, and I keep it running.
You're standing in it →A golfer friend kept missing the good tee times. I built him a small app on his own PC that watches the course's booking page and books a slot when one opens up. Same idea works for tennis and pickleball courts, gym classes, campsites and restaurant tables, anything with a booking page that fills up fast.
A Windows app for breaking images and video on purpose: an effects engine, timeline and exports, fully offline. It's the tool behind my art, and anyone can download it.
See C-Suite →Before any of this I spent eight-plus years in IT and tech: Apple, managed service providers, AnyDesk and ShyftOff. At AnyDesk I went from cold-calling to closing deals to keeping customers happy after the sale, so I know both sides of the conversation, the tech and the money.
I've earned AZ-104 (Azure administration), Security+, Network+, Cloud+ and A+. Which mostly means that when I say your backups are fine, I've actually checked.
I also draw mechs and monsters as C. Kuro, which is why I'll fuss over the spacing on your logo.
More about me →Send me the link. I'll tell you whether it needs a fix, a cleanup or a rebuild, and what each costs.
Because a five-page site for a bakery and a five-page site with online ordering aren't the same job. Every project gets a fixed quote in writing before anything starts. IT help is hourly, and I'll tell you up front if I think it'll run past two.
No. That's my half. Your half is knowing your business and answering my questions.
Tampa, Florida. Most work happens remotely, so you don't need to be local.
Tell me what it is in a couple of sentences. I reply within two days, usually sooner, and the first conversation costs nothing.
