ErikClear structure first
Layout, content, and navigation get worked out before any visual design starts, so the site is organized around how people actually use it.
About ErikHash
One developer, building things that need to actually work.
ErikHash is the independent web development practice of Erik Hallowell. I build websites, client portals, and internal tools for businesses that need something more considered than a page-builder template — without the overhead of hiring an agency.
Design
Considered, not decorative
Layouts and copy built around what a visitor actually needs to know.
Systems
Built to function
Portals, permissions, and workflows that hold up under real use.
Support
Around after launch
Fixes, updates, and new features as the business changes.
What ErikHash does
Not just websites — the systems behind them.
Some projects only need a strong public-facing site. Others need a client portal, a billing area, or an internal dashboard behind the scenes. Recent work includes Hath It Happened?, an iOS app built end-to-end with its own subscription billing and marketing site.
Every project is scoped around what the business actually needs, then built so it can be extended later without a rebuild.
Frontend
Clean, responsive, accessible
Backend
PHP, SQL, and native iOS
Approach
Direct communication, no hand-offs
Core approach
Three things every project is built around.
Systems that do work
Portals and dashboards should handle something real — support requests, payments, or project status — not just look like they do.
Room to grow
Code and content are structured so new features, pages, or portals can be added later without starting over.
How projects are approached
A straightforward path from idea to launch.
Step 01
Understand the goal
Start with what needs to be built, who will use it, and what it needs to support over time.
Step 02
Scope and design
Define the structure and visual direction, and agree on cost and timeline before development starts.
Step 03
Build and review
Develop in stages with regular check-ins, so there are no surprises when the project is ready to launch.
Step 04
Support after launch
Projects can continue to evolve through updates, fixes, and added features as the business grows.
