For ministries and business · Galion, Ohio

I build websites
and apps right here.

Ryan Jon Brown is a web developer in Galion, Ohio. I build websites and phone apps for ministries and businesses in Galion, Marion, Bucyrus and Mansfield. You deal with me the whole way through. Your job never gets handed off to somebody you have never met.

The work

A few sites I have worked on.

These four are up and running and you can click around in any of them. Ministry Planner I worked on with another developer. Every picture down the page is the real site, not a mock up.

A website with an iPhone and Android app

MemoryVerses.com

A place to learn Bible verses by heart. You practice by typing them out. There are games to play and churches keep a scoreboard for their people. I built this one, phone apps and all.

Software a church staff runs the week on

MinistryPlanner.church

One place for a church office to get ready for Sunday. They write the service plan and line up the volunteers and keep every team in the loop without four different logins. It fits around whatever the church already uses.

A big library people pay to read

MockQuestions.com

Job interview questions with answers written by people who do the hiring. It has been online since 2008. There are thousands of pages in it now. Folks sign up for a membership to read the full answers. The search still has to be quick.

A drawing tool that runs in your browser

PaintedAcre.com

You put in one photo of your yard. Then you set out trees and flower beds and a patio right on top of it. Slide the years ahead and everything grows up in place. The painting behind it is made fresh every time.

Yours

I take on a few jobs at a time so each one gets the hours it needs. Tell me what you have in mind. If I am not the right person for it I will say so.

What I build

It does not have to be a website.

Might be a few pages for your shop. Might be the whole system your company runs on. Either way you always know who to call.

  • Sites

    Websites

    A site built around your business instead of a template with your logo dropped on top. It should open fast on a phone. That is where most of your customers are.

  • Apps

    Web applications

    Some jobs need more than pages. A place for customers to log in. A schedule your crew can pull up in the truck. A form that lands where the office can see it. I build those.

  • Mobile

    Phone apps

    Apps for the iPhone and for Android. I got the Memory Verses app through both stores, so I have a fair idea what they ask for and how long the wait runs.

  • Platforms

    WordPress and Shopify

    Already on WordPress? I can work on the site you have. Want to sell online? Shopify is usually the quicker way there. I set it up and make it look like your business.

  • Search

    Showing up in Google

    A site nobody can find does not do much good. I set up the parts Google reads and write pages that answer what people actually type in. Local search too, so folks nearby find you. Nobody can promise you a top spot. I can promise the work that gets you closer.

  • Custom

    Odd jobs

    An old site nobody wants to touch. A form that quit working. A database that has to move. Bring it and I will take a look. If it is not worth the money I will say so.

Tools I use most

  • WordPress
  • Shopify
  • PHP
  • MySQL
  • JavaScript
  • HTML + CSS
  • Swift
  • Kotlin
  • Python
  • Stripe
  • AWS
  • Search Console

Yours is not on the list? Ask anyway. Learning a new one comes with the job.

Faith based

A lot of this work is faith based.

I built a Bible memory app that people use every day. I helped build software a church staff runs the week on. I also keep up a directory of Christian apps, so I have a pretty good feel for what is already out there and what is missing.

If you are a shop or a contractor or a clinic you are just as welcome here. The work is the same either way.

Work I would be glad to take on

  • Churches
  • Ministries
  • Christian nonprofits
  • Bible and study tools
  • Camps and retreat centers
  • Christian schools
  • Podcasts and shows
  • Mission teams
  • Christian apps of any kind

How it goes

Here is how a job runs.

You know what happens next and what it costs before any of it starts.

  1. 01

    We talk

    Call me or we sit down over a cup of coffee. You tell me what you need. I tell you what it takes and what it runs.

  2. 02

    I write it down

    You get a short plan on paper. What gets built. What it costs. When it is done. Nothing starts until you say go.

  3. 03

    You see it early

    You get a link to the design before any of it is finished. Say what you want changed while changing it is still easy.

  4. 04

    It goes live

    I take care of the domain and the hosting and the basics that help Google find you. Then I hand you the keys and it is yours.

Right here in Galion, Ohio

Close enough to shake your hand.

Plenty of this work happens over email and a link you can click. But if you are up the road in Crawford or Marion or Richland county we can sit down at a table and go through it in person. That still counts for something around here.

A rough idea is plenty to start with. I read every message myself and you will usually hear back the same day.

No newsletter and no mailing list. What you write comes straight to me.
