Phoenix, Arizona

Based in Phoenix. Working across the US.

I’m Jeff DeSpain, a software consultant based in Phoenix, Arizona. I work remotely with small and mid-sized businesses across the United States: websites, lead capture, integrations, automations, and scoped custom software. One person to call instead of a pile of vendors.

If you’re in Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun, we can meet in person. That’s a bonus, not a requirement. The same work happens by call, text, and screen share from anywhere in the country.

In person around the Valley

Shops, clinics, contractors, professional services, and other operators often outgrow spreadsheets and a brochure site at the same time. A large product team is overkill. A freelancer with no follow-through is a risk. A retained partner sits in the middle: enough engineering judgment to choose well, enough delivery to actually finish.

In the Phoenix metro, that can include an in-person meeting and the local details that matter—Google Business Profile, phone calls, and a site that doesn’t fight the owner. Everywhere else, it’s the same partnership over a call.

  • Launch — a conversion-focused site when customers need a clear way to reach you.
  • Tech Partner — monthly advice, light builds, and care for owners who want a software person on call.
  • Build / Sprint — a fixed-scope integration, automation, or custom tool without an open-ended project.

Not a storefront. I work from Phoenix and meet around the Valley when it helps. Start with a call, a text, or a short note on the contact page.

Common questions

Do you work with businesses across the US?
Yes. I work remotely with small and mid-sized businesses across the United States—websites, integrations, automations, and small custom tools—without a full-time hire or a large agency. I’m based in Phoenix, Arizona.
Do I need to be in Phoenix to work with you?
No. Calls, text, and screen share are how the work gets done, wherever you are in the US. If you’re in Phoenix or the Valley, we can also meet in person.
What kind of software consulting do you do?
I help you decide what to build versus buy, then I own the work: marketing sites, lead capture, system integrations, automations, and scoped custom software. The job is practical delivery—not a strategy deck that sits on a shelf.
How is this different from hiring a web agency?
You work with me directly. Agencies are a good fit for some companies; if you want one person who can advise, ship, and stick around as a tech partner, that’s the practice.
Can I see a site you’ve shipped?
Yes. The Selling Podcast website is live at https://thesellingpodcast.com. It’s a Next.js and Tailwind CSS site on Vercel for the show hosted by Mike Williams and Scott Schlofman. Episodes come from the show’s Riverside RSS feed, with an in-browser player, a page for each episode, and links to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and the RSS feed.
