Real reviews, word for word

  • Gabriel at Colorado Web Forge has been wonderful to work with. He built out a custom system for managing my practitioners and handled all the behind-the-scenes technical work so I don’t have to think about it. The design he did within it looks beautiful, exactly the feel I wanted for my practice. He’s responsive, genuinely cares about getting it right, and takes the time to explain things in a way that actually makes sense. If you’re a local business looking for web design or SEO help, I can’t recommend him enough.

  • Blew my expectations completely out of the water. Gabriel has been responsive and timely. Super easy to work with and the designs are top notch. Highly recommend if you’re looking for webpage guidance!

  • Gabe did an amazing job revamping our website, and we're excited to see how the SEO optimization helps drive new business. As someone who doesn't know much about the tech side, I appreciated how simple he made the entire process. I basically sent him a bit of content, and he turned it into something far better than I could have imagined.
    Ashley Southard The Magic Food Bus
  • Gabe's ability to see someone's vision and bring it to life through a professional online presence is incredible. He is responsive, reliable, and highly collaborative, making the entire process feel effortless. His creativity, attention to detail, and ability to translate ideas into reality make him an exceptional partner to work with.
    David Sauvé Quantum Soma Method
  • The entire process was simple, straightforward, and stress-free. He took photos and content from my existing social media pages and turned them into a professional-looking website that represents my business very well. What impressed me most was his attention to detail.
    Rudy Rincon Mountain Ridge Renovations
  • I have been working with Gabe for the last 8 months through 5 web development projects. He is extremely knowledgeable on building websites, using AI, SEO, building apps, and integrations — and is very fast, responsive, and so pleasant. Will continue working with him into the future!

Made in Colorado, for Colorado businesses.

I build for the people who live and work here.

Every site on this page is my work, design through launch. That's the point of hiring one person. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off.

Questions I hear on almost every call

If yours isn’t here, ask me on the call.

How much does a website cost?

I price each project to what it needs. You get one flat number before we start, and it doesn’t move unless the scope does.

Why not just use a cheap template or Wix?

People can tell a template when they see one, and they judge the business by it. I hand-build sites that load fast and read clearly to Google and AI search.

How long does a project take?

Most marketing sites take 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Bigger builds run longer, and so does anything waiting on content.

Will my site actually rank on Google?

Nobody can promise a ranking, and I won’t. I build solid technical SEO and useful content into the site itself, plus a properly set up Google Business Profile.

Can you get my business to show up in AI answers like ChatGPT?

That’s my AI Search & GEO work. No one can guarantee an AI mention, but citable content and strong entity signals raise the odds. I report on where you turn up.
