When I came to Austin I had no fucking idea I needed a website.
In fact- I was sure it was something extra, too-expensive and something that was unnecessary outside of Facebook Marketing.
I asked Austin to help me put together something to launch a retreat that I was having on Kaua’i and my entire life changed
The entire process with Austin was truly incredible. What started off as a landing page turned into me learned SO freaking much about marketing, websites, funnels and all the things that I have not been leveraging that could completely change my online coaching business.
Working with Austin has blown my mind completely because I truly didn’t know that anyone could understand me like he has. I am the type of person that has felt like I have to do everything myself because I’m so picky and have such a vision in my head and no way figure out how to execute it!
Austin walked with me step by step and was able to bring my vision to life in the most seamless and fluid way. His ideas alone were worth so much more than I anticipated
It was so much more than website design. It’s like having a business partner who “gets you”
Austin’s attention to detail is unreal. He is so communicative, timely, passionate and AMAZING at what he does.
Hiring Austin for your “website design” will be the best decision you will ever make.
“Website design” is in quotes because you will be hiring him for so many other things you never ever fathomed existed in support for your business ❤️

The Dancing Digital Wizard
Austin Pranger
Hi there. 💜
My name is Austin.
I dance, write, build websites, create videos, lead communities, challenge my limitations, and am constantly growing in order to make a positive impact on the world and help people like you bring their best selves and work to the world.
I’ve been “building websites” for nearly a decade.
It became a canvas to help me figure out who I am and what I wanted to do with my life. A medium to build communities and share my message.
I quickly realized that I had a knack for it – a form of creativity and play for me – while it was overwhelming and mind-boggling to others.
With the encouragement of peers, I am stepping out to provide my expertise to those that need a helping-hand in bringing their vision to the online world.
From building an entire online platform from nothing to providing insight to help them improve their existing digital marketing efforts and online aesthetic – and more.
I don’t “just” build websites.
I get into the trenches with my clients to make sure that their message is being shared accurately.
I help develop clarity around how to share your message online, translate your message or offering into a tangible online platform, and provide insight on how to use it and stand out as an authority around what you offer.
Absurd Attention to Detail
I’m particular when it comes to design, aesthetic, and the “flow” of content as visitors scroll down a page. I put more time and effort into the fine, minute details than most.
If you are equally-picky about “how things look,” we’ll get along great.
If you don’t care that much about things being “fancy,” then we’ll put our focus elsewhere – like optimizing your website content for clarity, search-engine-optimization, improving other resources on the website, and whatever will help your business the most.
Experienced Writer
I have written over 1,000,000 words for clients in the past 5 years in a WIDE range of industries and niches as a ghost-writer for businesses and independents.
I provide unique content that is unique to you, researched, and has a voice of its own – based on your needs.
I’ve recently written under my own name at Ideapod (here) and have other samples here.
Small Team Friendly
I work primarily with individuals and small teams. I know what it’s like to bootstrap in virtually every project I’ve been involved in – in and out of website design.
I can be a supporter in your business without actually being “on the team.” I’m here to help and can adjust my services based on your personal or business needs.
I’m happy to play as little or a big of a part in your future online kingdom and business processes as you’d like.
Everyone I work with seems to enjoy what I provide for them, not because of just my technical skills (which has been developed from a lot of trial and error), but because of the intuition and insight that I have around design, marketing, branding – and more.
I work well with my clients to make sure that the website not only looks good and functions well, but meets YOUR specific needs and tastes.
When I take someone on as a client, my goal isn’t to just make a website in zero-seconds flat and put a bow on it.
I want to get to know you so that I can accurately translate YOUR VOICE and VISION into a digital format for the rest of the world to see.
Because if you don’t have a website or an online presence – it makes it that much harder for people to find you, realize that your services exist (that they need!), and to establish yourself as an authority on your product or service.
We’ll get along great if you …
- need someone in your corner to help you find clarity through the uncertainty and chaos that comes with having an online platform.
. - visually like what you’ve seen on this page, my website, or any of the projects I’ve created so far (at the bottom of this page).
. - need a simple website to showcase who you are and what you do – and still have it look pretty and professional.
. - have a services to offer but don’t know how to translate it into a websit eor online presence.
. - already know what you want, but need help converting your “vision” into what a website can actually use.
. - … just don’t have time to deal with any of this nonsense and want someone else to handle it for you.
But …
I know my limits.
I’m not here to fluff and pretend that I can do everything – I can’t. When you work with me, you get someone who is upfront about what he can or can’t do.
If I can’t do something for what you’re trying to create, I’ll let you know and then go learn how to make-it-so.
Or point you towards another expert that can.
When we work together, we become a team.
If you want a beautiful, personalized website and get a “Digital Wizard” on your team to help you on your journey to growing your business and brand?
I gotchu’.
I’m constantly evolving and those that I work with get the benefit of all kinds of new “aha!” ideas whenever they come up.
We’re evolving together – and the first people I work with will benefit from it the most because I’m likely underselling my time for your gain while I figure all of this out in real-time, right next to you as you grow your business.
Flexible to Client Needs
Don’t let anything on this page scare you away. Virtually everything related to creating a website or online presence for you can be customized to YOUR needs.
If you know you want a website, or need help with digital marketing, then let’s talk and figure out what that will look like.
I am happy to create a plan that is tailored to your needs and situation.
Selective Client Workload
I prefer to work with a smaller number of clients, rather than pump out generic website in bulk. This gives me an opportunity to establish a deeper connection with you as an individual and be able to understand your gifts and offerings more intimately.
