About The Renegade

One developer, fourteen live projects, and a phone number that reaches him

I build things, then I keep them running

Hi, I'm Richard Whitney, The Renegade. I write software for a living and, apparently, for fun as well -- a tiling desktop browser, a rich text editor with no dependencies, an AI content detector, an ad network that survives ad blockers. Most of what is in my portfolio is mine, and it is all still online because I still run it.

That matters for client work more than it sounds like it should. I have usually already hit the problem your project is about to hit -- the payment edge case, the mail that will not deliver, the certificate nobody renewed -- on my own time and my own sites. Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, working with clients here and across the country.

Richard Whitney

Founder & Lead Developer

What working with me is like

The short version: you deal with one person, and that person wrote the code

Direct Access

You email me, I answer. Nobody relays your problem to a third person and back.

Ongoing Support

I host and maintain most of what I build, so launch day is not the last you hear from me.

Fair Pricing

Fixed price, quoted before I start. Half up front, half on delivery, no hourly meter running.

Fast Delivery

Something working to look at every week, not a status report saying it is going well.

Specialized Solutions for Your Business

Custom web development tailored to your industry and needs

For Manufacturers & Wholesalers

Do you sell products through retail partners? Stop manually managing CSV files and spreadsheets.

I build custom APIs that:

  • Automatically sync your inventory to retail partners
  • Eliminate manual data entry and errors
  • Update in real-time from your database
  • Scale effortlessly as you add more retail clients

Result: Sell more products in more markets through more retailers, while reducing operational overhead.

For All Businesses

Whether you need a simple business website or a complex web application, I deliver solutions that work for your specific needs.

Services include:

  • Custom website design and development
  • E-commerce platforms and shopping carts
  • Content management systems (CMS)
  • Mobile-responsive applications
  • Website maintenance and updates

Promise: I stay in constant contact throughout the project and remain available for updates and enhancements after completion.

My Development Process

Four steps, and the same person at every one of them

1

Consultation

You tell me the problem. I ask the awkward questions about the edge cases.

2

Planning

A written scope and a fixed price, so there is no argument later about what was included.

3

Development

Something working to look at every week, on a real URL you can poke at.

4

Support

Hosting, certificates, backups and the six-month upgrade, if you want me to keep it.
