⚡ Southeast Michigan · Taking on new projects
I'm Dustin Ely — a designer, developer, and systems builder who ships the whole thing: the site, the AI, the servers, and the automation that keeps it running. No page-builder templates. No nickel-and-diming subscriptions. Just one connected system.

I'm a web designer and AI systems builder based in Southeast Michigan. I've spent years building websites, apps, and automation for small businesses — and I do it the way I think it should be done: all in-house, all connected, no rented page-builders held together with plugins.
When you hire me, you get the whole stack from one pair of hands. I design the site, write the code, stand up the servers, wire the AI, and keep it running after launch. You get one person to call — not an account manager, not a ticket queue — and one bill instead of five.
My clients are contractors, real estate agencies, medical spas, and service businesses across Lenawee, Washtenaw, Monroe, Jackson, and Hillsdale counties — plus Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Toledo.
Full lifecycle, one person: I design it, build it, deploy it, and keep it running.
Custom sites that look sharp, load fast, and actually convert — not templates with your logo swapped in.
Practical AI that does real work for your business — answering calls, generating content, and replacing busywork.
Your site runs on my own hardened VPS infrastructure — monitored, backed up, and secure. No shared-hosting roulette.
Custom websites, full-stack apps, and digital infrastructure for businesses that need more than a template.
My own digital infrastructure company. A full operations dashboard with AI-powered automation, real-time VPS monitoring, cron management, knowledge base, and task tracking — all containerized in production. This is the system I run my whole business on.
