From Startup Experience to Your Success

Hi, I'm Jackson, the founder of Launch Turtle. I didn't start this as just another web agency. I started it as a business owner who experienced every problem you face with traditional agencies—and built the solution I wished existed. This is the story of how my journey from startup founder to web development partner shaped everything we do at Launch Turtle.

Education Foundation

NYU Shanghai • CU Boulder • University of Denver

While studying Economics and Finance at CU Boulder and abroad at NYU Shanghai, I discovered my passion for programming through data science coursework. This led me to the University of Denver's web development bootcamp, where I learned to build digital solutions that solve real business problems.

Startup Struggles

Treasure Tracker • 3 Years • Hard Lessons

For three years, I built Treasure Tracker from zero to functioning product. While working with a great development team, I learned firsthand the challenges modern businesses face—complex tech architecture, the need for simplicity, consistent communication, effective online marketing, ADA compliance, and more.

The Business Challenges I Discovered:

Overly complex tech architecture vs. need for simplicity
Consistent communication crucial for business confidence
Modern marketing requires fast, accessible websites
ADA compliance and performance are business imperatives

The Result? Websites That Actually Work

Every Launch Turtle website is built with the same obsession for results that I demanded for my own business. Because I know exactly what it feels like to need a website that works.

How we're different

We believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way. Here are the principles that guide every project we build.

We build for everyone, not just some

While other agencies treat accessibility as an afterthought (or skip it entirely), we bake WCAG 2.1 AA compliance into every line of code from day one.

Screen reader compatible
Keyboard navigation support
Color contrast compliance
ADA lawsuit protection
15%

of the population has a disability

"Every website should work for every user. It's not just good business — it's the right thing to do."

Lightning-fast isn't optional

While agencies load their sites with heavy themes and plugins, we hand-code for performance. Every millisecond matters because your customers won't wait.

90+ Google PageSpeed guaranteed
Sub-3 second load times
Optimized images and assets
Core Web Vitals excellence
40%

of users abandon slow sites

"Fast websites don't just rank better — they convert better, sell more, and keep customers happy."

Every line of code is hand-crafted

WordPress themes and page builders create bloated, vulnerable websites that all look the same. We write custom code that's lean, secure, and unique to your brand.

Zero WordPress vulnerabilities
Completely unique design
Modern development practices
No bloated plugin dependencies
3x

better conversion vs templates

"Custom code isn't just cleaner — it's more secure, faster, and designed exactly for your business goals."

Your data is bulletproof

While others patch security holes after they're exploited, we build security into the foundation. Your customers' data — and your reputation — stay protected.

SSL encryption standard
Regular security audits
Secure hosting environments
GDPR compliance ready
43%

of cyberattacks target small businesses

"Security isn't something you add later — it's something you build in from the very first line of code."

Built for the world, not just America

Local agencies think locally. We think globally. Your website works perfectly whether your customer is in Denver or Dubai, on fiber internet or mobile data.

International SEO optimization
Multi-timezone consideration
Mobile-first for global users
CDN and global performance
60%

of web traffic is mobile globally

"Your next customer might be anywhere in the world. Your website should be ready for them."

The Launch Turtle Promise

What we'll never do:

  • • Use WordPress themes or templates
  • • Ignore accessibility requirements
  • • Build slow, bloated websites
  • • Go radio silent during projects
  • • Compromise on security
  • • Think locally instead of globally

What we'll always do:

  • • Hand-code every single line
  • • Build for every user, everywhere
  • • Deliver lightning-fast performance
