About
One developer. Zero overhead.
Gorb Studio is me - Gaston Fox. I’m finishing a Bachelor’s in cybersecurity, I play college baseball at the NAIA level, and I build websites the way I’d want one built for my own business: by hand, fast, and without a sales layer between you and the work.
I started this studio after watching Omaha small businesses get two bad options: $89 template mills that all look the same, or agencies quoting five figures for a WordPress site with a page-builder under the hood. There’s a better deal, and this is it.
Baseball taught me the part most developers skip: showing up every day, hitting deadlines, and performing when it counts. Cybersecurity taught me to build things that don’t fall over when someone pushes on them. Both go into every site.
Principles
Four rules I don't break.
-
Speed is a feature
A site that loads in six seconds is a site nobody sees. Every build ships with a performance budget: 95+ Lighthouse, sub-second paint, no exceptions. If it gets slow, I fix it.
-
Real prices, posted publicly
Pricing pages shouldn’t be a treasure hunt that ends in a sales call. The numbers are on the services page. They’re the same numbers you’ll see on the contract.
-
You talk to the developer
No account managers, no project coordinators, no “let me check with the team.” The person you email is the person writing the code. Questions get answers, not meetings.
-
Security isn’t an add-on
I study cybersecurity for a living. Your site ships with HTTPS, security headers, spam-protected forms, and no plugin attack surface - because there are no plugins.
Tech stack
Boring on purpose, fast by design.
No trendy frameworks that need a rewrite in two years. This stack is chosen for one thing: sites that load instantly, cost almost nothing to host, and don’t break.
Tailwind CSS
Styling that compiles down to only what each page uses. No 300KB framework downloads for a 5KB design.
Cloudflare
Your site lives on 300+ edge servers worldwide, so it loads from the one nearest your customer. Free tier, no hosting markup.
TypeScript
Strict mode, always. Bugs get caught while building your site, not after it launches.
