Work
A few sites I've built for clients and for my own shop, plus sample designs that show the range. Click through, poke around, try them on your phone.
Author and children's book
Author site for Keri Gibson-Bentley and her children's book Milo the Mockingbird, coming December 2026. Illustrated look with an animated hero, a blog, preorder editions through Ko-fi, a newsletter signup and a page for her handmade pottery.
Result: Preorders and newsletter signups open months before the book ships.

A clean, trust-first site for a special education services provider working with 5th-9th grade students in Portsmouth and Scioto County.

About Tyler
I've run Fourth Space Games here in Portsmouth for over 10 years. I know the tight budgets, the slow Tuesdays and the "how do people even find us" questions, because I deal with them too.
That's why I started McGraw Web Designs: honest, affordable websites that actually help a local business get found and get calls. I build them by hand with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Astro, no page-builder bloat, and I stick around after launch.

Let's chat about getting your business online! I promise I won't try to sell you any video games... unless you ask nicely.

Best times to reach me: mornings and early evenings. Afternoons I might be running a gaming tournament or helping customers pick out new games and accessories. Don't worry, web projects always get priority. Your business matters to me because I know how much it matters to you.
