I'm Keith Hetzel, a software engineer based in West Bend, Wisconsin. I've spent about ten years writing code, building web applications, and working across a bunch of different technologies.
These days, I'm focused on helping local businesses in the West Bend area get online with clean, functional websites. Nothing fancy for the sake of fancy — just solid work that serves your customers well.
I got into web development because I genuinely enjoy building things. There's something satisfying about taking an idea, putting it together, and watching it work. Over the years I've picked up a range of languages and tools, worked on projects big and small, and learned a lot about what actually matters when it comes to a good website.
What I've found is that most local businesses don't need anything complicated. They need a site that loads fast, looks professional on a phone, and makes it obvious how to get in touch. That's where I come in.
I live in West Bend, so when I say I'm a local developer, I mean it. I shop at the same stores, eat at the same restaurants, and care about this community doing well. When you work with me, you're not dealing with a faceless agency — you're working with a neighbor.
I've worked with a lot over the years. Here are the ones I reach for most.
I'm always happy to talk. Whether you have a clear project in mind or just want to bounce some ideas around, feel free to reach out.
