Your Custom Website

A career in the performing arts is incredibly difficult - getting a website shouldn't be.


My mission is simple: to build you an excellent, hassle-free website that showcases you in the best way possible.
As a full-time web developer, and actor myself, I know precisely what your website needs to deliver and how it can be done.

web development

Fast, sleek, modern sites fully customized to suit your needs.

mobile responsive

Your site will look and function just as well on a cell phone as it does on a desktop (and everything in between).

Update Content Yourself!

A built in content management system will allow you to easily make simple content updates to your site whenever you please.

Turnkey

I will hand off a completely finished website the requires no work on your part until you are ready to make updates!

What's the plan here?

Here is the basic gist, but we can get much deeper into the nitty-gritty details together.

Design

The first thing you will do is choose from a selection of fully-customizable designs. Customizable is the key word here. Whatever you choose will be coded and built to suit your needs. All available designs are fully responsive and mobile-device friendly.

Sit Back and Relax

Once a design is chosen and I have your wish-list in hand, I will do all the heavy lifting and build your website.

Finishing Touches

After the initial build, I'll have you jump back in and see if there are any final tweaks or changes you want made to your site. Once approved, your site will be live in no time!

What About Afterwards?

Odds are you will want to share exciting news and make other various updates to your site. An easy-to-use content management system is available that would allow you to make edits to the content on your website. Need a more substantial change? I'm only an email away, but I will also supply you with the source code for your website so any other developer can easily work on it.

Why StageHacker?


One-Time Fee

A one-time fee covers the design, construction, and deployment of your site.
Domain Registration & Hosting are handled by third party companies, but those are typically only around a few dollars a month (much cheaper than most subscription based web services you can find). I will help you get those set up as well!

flexibility

A custom-built website offers much more flexibility than the "drag-and-drop" site builders available elsewhere.

CMS

I will teach you how to use the content management system that enables you to make edits to the content of your site.

Content

Seamless integration of all of your media: audio, video, resume, social media feeds, etc.

30 Minutes For You

Need some work done on your site in the future? Included is an additional thirty minutes of development time to be used within the first year of your site going live.

Source Code

I will supply you with the source code for your website. Not only does this give you ownership of your site and serve as a reliable back up, but it will also help facilitate the work of any future developers if you wish to make any changes down the road.

Look what I made!

The process of working with Shane on building my actor website was superb! I had a good sense of what I envisioned for it, and not only did Shane deliver exactly what I wanted, but he also came to the table with his own ideas on how to better promote my brand and marketability. He also made what can sometimes be a frustrating process totally fun and rewarding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shane and the StageHacker services to any actor, artist, musician or entertainer who is looking to take their professional online presence and brand promotion to the next level. Quick, efficient, affordable and a worthwhile investment! - Matt Kruggel

I cannot say enough wonderful things regarding Shane and the process of developing my new and improved actor website. Shane was knowledgeable and efficient, and, being an actor himself, he was able to fully understand my logistical needs for the website. His design was clean, succinct, easy to navigate, and felt perfectly in tune with my brand; Any requests or questions I had were met with prompt and thorough responses. The final product even came complete with a very informed “DIY” tutorial for future updates to the site. I could not be more thrilled with my new site, and confident that this new online presence will speak volumes about my brand and levels of professionalism. - Rebecca Kostell

I give Shane O'Neill (www.stagehacker.com) my most emphatic recommendation; his technical knowledge, ability to relate said knowledge, customer service, individualized approach, and efficiency are all of the highest quality. The building process was incredibly smooth and simple, as Shane made sure I was not only happy with the overall design and look of the website, but also that I was comfortable editing and working with technology that was new to me. - Jeff Haffner

Whose idea was this anway?
