About

Hi, I’m Bryce! A developer and web designer building fast sites for small businesses.

I’m a software engineer based in Vermont, working with local businesses and remote clients. I help small businesses look professional online without the stress. I create websites with HTML & CSS so they load quickly, stay stable, and don’t come with the headaches of page builders like WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix.

If you want a site that’s clean, modern, and easy to support long-term, then you’re in the right place.

Bryce Simonds, web developer and owner of Pothos Web Design

What I Do

Hand-coded websites that work harder than templates.

Most small businesses don’t need complicated tech. They need small business web design that loads fast, looks trustworthy, and makes it easy to contact you. That’s what I build.

Custom small business web design

Clean, modern layouts that match your brand and guide customers toward the next step; call, book, or request a quote.

I develop your site in HTML & CSS so it loads fast, stays lightweight, and works beautifully on phones.
