I'd rather earn the click than buy it.

I'm Cameron. I design and build websites and the apps behind them, photograph hotels and real estate, and run the marketing that gets a business found. It started with two hotels on the Oakland waterfront.

In 2013 I was a hotel's entire web department.

I joined Executive Inn & Suites as its IT manager, and ran the website and the marketing too. If the booking engine broke at nine on a Saturday, that was me. I still work with the same owners today, and I shot the photographs on their current site, including this one.

More about me

Four things, one person.

Most projects pass between a designer, a developer, a photographer, and a marketer. With me it's the same person from the first conversation to launch, so what we agreed on is what gets built.

Design

I work out what your site needs to do for your customers and design it around that. Clear, fast, and yours to update.

How MantelMarketing was designed

Build

Then I build it, and the tools behind it when you need them: a booking flow, a quoting tool, a ballot that counts votes, a dashboard for the office.

A festival's voting system

Photograph

Hotels, homes, and businesses, shot by me. Photos, video, and drone. The sites I build come with their own pictures.

House & Home Photography

Market

Search and email that keep working after the ad budget stops. For the hotels, around $1.5M in bookings from one year of email.

Nine years with two hotels

Recent sites and apps.

Five of them, live today. They rotate on their own, or pick a tab.

I'm building a platform that offers small-business websites at a fixed monthly price.

I ran the websites and marketing for two Oakland hotels, helping guests find the properties and book directly.

Read the case study
The public winners page, dark with cream cards, listing a winner for each category from Best Feature down to Best Animated Film.

I built the festival's audience ballot so visitors could vote and staff could review the results before announcing the winners.

The driving lab's front page on the review build, headed The 14-hour behind-the-wheel lab, guided step by step, with a standard track and a neurodivergent-friendly track beneath it.

I built a driving-lesson platform for parents teaching their teens, with a review version ready four days after the deposit.

I rebuilt a roofing and gutter contractor's website and the app its office uses to handle estimate requests.

I shoot the pictures too.

House & Home Photography has photographed homes and hotels across the Bay Area since 2020. Photos, video, drone, and 3D tours, delivered in a day or two. Every photograph on this site is mine.

Mistakes get caught before they go live.

I build checks into my sites, so a broken link, a missing photo, or a number with no source stops an update before anyone sees it. This is the list of checks this site runs on itself.

tests/content.test.mjs14 checks
  1. every page has exactly one h1
  2. every page has a meta description
  3. every image carries meaningful alt text
  4. no placeholder or template rot ships
  5. every internal link resolves to a built page or a public file
  6. no two pages share more than 40% of their eight-word sequences
  7. every fact rendered on a page is marked confirmed
  8. anonymised clients never enter the build
  9. the teardowns tab only ships once three teardowns exist
  10. nothing is still owed before launchruns at launch, 4 still owed
  11. every referenced image actually exists
  12. every work card shows an image or the typeset fallback
  13. every page has a social image that exists
  14. titles and descriptions fit a search result
  15. every page carries structured data naming the person

Every number has a source

Each figure on this site comes from one record that says where it came from. If a number can't be backed up, the page can't be published.

Checked on the finished site

The checks run on what visitors will actually see, not on a draft. And I don't trust a check until I've watched it catch the mistake it was written for.

Honest about what launched

Not every project here has gone live yet. Each page says so, along with what was never measured.
