About Jon Martinez: Florida Web Designer & Founder of SpeedyManatee Websites
I’m Jon Martinez, a web designer based in Florida, with over 5 years of experience creating dynamic, custom websites for businesses across the state. My passion for web design started at age 12, where I was inspired by the growing power of the web and the intersection of art and coding. Today, I use that passion to help businesses thrive online through affordable, high-quality website design and SEO services.
At SpeedyManatee Websites, my goal is to deliver websites that are not only visually stunning but also optimized to perform in the competitive online space. From local businesses to larger enterprises, I work closely with every client to create websites that meet their specific needs and help them achieve their business goals.
My Journey into Web Design
I grew up in Bradenton, FL, and discovered my love for web design in the 6th grade when I realized the potential of the internet as a platform for creativity and communication. After graduating high school, I completed a web development course at Manatee Technical College, where I built a solid foundation in web design and coding.
Since then, I’ve worked in various roles, including inventory management and data entry, before joining Afteractive, a web design company in Orlando. During my time there, I honed my skills in web development and SEO, and I continue to collaborate with them through contract work today.
In 2021, I launched SpeedyManatee Websites with the ambition to work for myself and grow as an entrepreneur. While managing a business was once a challenge, I’ve embraced the opportunity to turn my weaknesses into strengths and build a thriving business that reflects my passion for web design and client satisfaction.
What Sets SpeedyManatee Websites Apart
- Action Over Perfection: I believe in taking action and refining as I go, rather than waiting for perfection. This approach allows me to push through challenges and deliver results faster.
- Communication & Transparency: Clients will always know where their project stands. From clear communication to timely updates, I ensure a smooth workflow throughout the process.
- Tailored Solutions: Whether you need a simple landing page or a complex ecommerce site, I take the time to understand your vision and build something that aligns with your goals.
- Fast Response Times & Flexible Scheduling: I pride myself on providing quick turnaround times and working around your schedule. Whether you need a website launched in 72 hours or support with last-minute updates, I’m here to make it happen.
My Design Philosophy
My approach to web design is rooted in understanding the client’s vision and bringing it to life with creativity and technical skill. I strive to get into the mindset of my clients, so I can deliver designs that truly reflect their business and objectives. While my technical skills drive the process, creativity plays a key role in ensuring that every website I create is unique and visually impactful.
Expanding into Business Solutions
In the next 5 years, I plan to evolve SpeedyManatee into a full business solutions firm that offers more than just web design. My goal is to provide clients with integrated services, including insurance solutions to protect their assets and businesses, alongside web design and marketing support. Through automation and scalability, I aim to offer comprehensive business solutions that help my clients succeed both online and offline.
Balancing Family & Work
As I prepare to welcome my first child in September 2024, I’m more focused than ever on building a lasting legacy for my family. Becoming a father has reinforced the importance of balancing work with personal life, and I’m committed to giving 100% to both. My family motivates me to push forward in my career while staying grounded in what truly matters.
