Three kinds of work, often overlapping: web presence for small businesses, product builds for people with an idea, and AI tools for both.
A site that loads fast, ranks for the searches that matter in your city, and doesn't require an agency to update. Flat-rate builds with a price you know upfront. SEO retainer plans for ongoing work.
You have an idea. We work through it together — research, prototype, test for real market interest before committing to a full build. No fixed-scope waterfall. Prototyping first.
Custom AI infrastructure that connects to your data and runs under your control. Local LLMs, agent pipelines, MCP tools. Also: open source projects and experiments that ship under the brucepro umbrella.
I'm Jurden Bruce. 26 years of web work — from lawyer sites and ISP pages in the tables-and-images era, to a JavaScript shopping cart for a leatherworker, to 17 years managing web infrastructure for Sam Houston State University — a 21,000-student institution where I oversaw the main university site and dozens of department and project sites. I left SHSU in 2023 when they moved to return to office.
On the client side: web builds and local SEO for small businesses who need a site that actually gets found. Flat-rate pricing — you know what it costs before we start. On the technical side: AI infrastructure, custom memory systems, local LLM deployments, MCP tools. 264 public GitHub repos — original projects, contributed forks, and tools I use daily.
I don't have a portfolio section. I've built hundreds of sites over 26 years and I stopped linking to them — clients do what they want after handoff, and I'd rather not have my name on someone else's decisions two weeks later. You deal directly with me. I answer my own email.
I answer my own email and pick up my own phone. The person who builds it is the person you talk to.
Your code, your domain, your hosting, your data. No proprietary platforms that hold you hostage.
If something I built isn't working, I'll tell you. If a cheaper tool does the job, I'll say so.
Practical advice on web presence, local SEO, and building things that work.
Switching accounting software moves the typing to a new logo. The hours come back from the automation layer: audited bank-feed rules, receipt capture, payments that match themselves, and tools that talk to each other. The October 2026 price math is in there too, briefly.
Audit one bank feed's rules this week. If your invoicing, books, and bank still do not talk to each other, that part is buildable.
Your first tech hire probably isn't a developer. The real map of managed IT, in-house, solo developer, agency, and fractional CTO, with the 2026 cost math on each and the question that tells you which one you actually need.
Match the hire to the problem. The quote under $100 a user is the one that needs a second look.
Fifty-three percent of mobile visitors leave after three seconds, and conversions fall off a cliff from there. The 30-second speed test, the five usual suspects, and the afternoon fixes that moved real revenue.
Run PageSpeed Insights on your homepage tonight. A mobile score under 60 means the problem is live right now.
Three reading paths through the archive, each in an order that makes sense.
The local SEO track: how customers in your town actually find you, from your Google Business Profile to showing up in AI answers.
The practical AI track: no hype, just where AI actually saves hours in a small shop and how to start without breaking anything.
The website fundamentals track: why sites fail to generate leads, who owns yours, and the design and platform decisions that matter.
If you're a local business trying to figure out what the current web landscape actually means for you, or you have a product idea you want to pressure-test — reach out. I'll tell you what I think. If I can help, I'll say so. If a cheaper tool does the job, I'll say that too.
Let's have a 30-minute conversation about your business goals. No sales pitch, no pressure—just honest advice about whether and how we can help.
