About
I'm Joe Stramel. I build websites for small businesses.
I started Apotheosis Technologies because small business owners kept getting the same raw deal: websites they rent instead of own, freelancers who vanish, and prices nobody will tell you up front.
I do it differently. I build fast, mobile-friendly websites at a fixed price, you own what I build, and you work with me directly from the first call to launch day. If you'd rather not touch the site after that, I'll keep it running and make your changes for you.
For bigger decisions, like a CMS-driven site, a migration, or a project with several vendors, I also offer independent technology consulting: honest advice on what's worth doing, whether or not you hire me to do the work.
No vendor strings attached
I don't resell platforms, I don't earn commissions from hosting companies, and I don't push rebuilds to pad an invoice. I make money one way: by giving you advice and work that's genuinely good. That independence is the whole point.
Where I come from
I caught the web bug early — I was a business student at the University of Florida right as the World Wide Web was taking off, learned HTML, and never really stopped. That turned into decades of building for the web.
In the years since, I've worked on a long list of IT and software projects spanning many platforms, languages, and industries. That breadth means I've seen technologies come and go — and I've learned which choices age well and which quietly become tomorrow's liability. It's perspective I bring to every recommendation.
Today I design, build, and operate Cahoot, a SaaS platform running on Drupal, Next.js, custom APIs, and native mobile apps — which keeps me hands-on with the same modern web technology I advise clients on, every single day. When I tell you what's possible and what's worth doing, it's grounded in work I'm shipping right now, not theory.
