Douglas Gorden Jr.
Owner and operator, Gorden Web Design & Computer Repair — a one-person web design and computer repair studio in Moses Lake, Washington, operating since 2003.
Quick facts
How I got here
I started the studio in 2003 in Moses Lake, Washington. The initial focus was local computer repair and small-business technology support — hardware diagnostics, software troubleshooting, network setup, and the kind of on-call IT work that small operators need but can’t justify hiring full-time for.
Over the first decade, the practice expanded into building and maintaining websites for the same small business clients. WordPress became the default platform around 2010, custom theme work replaced page-builder shortcuts, and the studio’s reputation grew by word of mouth across Grant County and Central Washington.
Since 2024 the studio has shifted decisively toward AI-augmented design workflows. AI tools now draft copy, generate schema, and accelerate the production side of every build. The editorial judgment, the local market knowledge, and the on-the-ground accountability still sit with me — those are the parts that don’t move.
What I work on now
Three practices, run end-to-end by one operator:
- AI Sites — Full websites designed and built with AI tooling. From copy to layout to deploy. Finished in days, not months. AI replaces the production time, not the editorial judgment.
- Affiliate Systems — Content and site structures built to run affiliate programs properly: disclosed, tracked, maintained. Compliance first, conversion second.
- WordPress Engineering — Custom themes, performance tuning, hands-on WordPress builds for clients who need it done right. Theme-level work, not page-builder soup.
Outside web work, I do computer repair for local clients in the Moses Lake area — hardware diagnostics, software troubleshooting, and upgrades. Same operator, same studio, same accountability.
