One engineer. No layers.
No account managers. No junior devs. One principal-level engineer who builds your entire site from scratch — and picks up the phone when you call.
Andrew Hickman
Before starting Fourth Coast Web, Andrew spent over a decade building websites for agencies in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. — the kind of places where site downtime costs six figures and "good enough" gets you fired.
He moved to Racine because he wanted to bring that standard of work to businesses that actually needed it. Local shops. Service companies. People who deserve a real website, not a $5,000 template.

Four promises we make to every client.
You Own Everything
Your code, your hosting, your domain. WordPress means no vendor lock-in. If you fire us tomorrow, you keep it all.
One Engineer, Start to Finish
You talk directly to the person building your site. No account managers, no junior devs, no game of telephone.
Speed Is Not Optional
100/100 PageSpeed scores aren't a flex — they're the baseline. Every site ships fast because slow costs you money.
Plain English, Always
We explain things in words that make sense. If you don't understand what we're doing and why, that's our fault.
“I started Fourth Coast Web because I was tired of watching businesses get sold websites they don’t own, built on platforms they can’t leave, by people they never talk to.”
