WHAT I DO
Three ways I get your business found
A fast website, local SEO, and AI search. One person builds all three, so they work together instead of tripping over each other.

Become the business AI recommends when customers ask
Generative Engine Optimization: getting your business named and cited when people ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, or Perplexity who to hire.
Explore ai - SEO & Content 02
Get found by the customers already searching for you
Local and technical SEO, plus content that ranks for the searches your customers type in. Focused on the south Denver metro and the Colorado Front Range.

A custom site people take seriously
Designed and coded by hand, so it loads fast and reads cleanly to Google and the AI engines. No page builders, no templates.

Gabriel at Colorado Web Forge has been wonderful to work with. He built out a custom system for managing my practitioners and handled all the behind-the-scenes technical work so I don’t have to think about it. The design he did within it looks beautiful, exactly the feel I wanted for my practice. He’s responsive, genuinely cares about getting it right, and takes the time to explain things in a way that actually makes sense. If you’re a local business looking for web design or SEO help, I can’t recommend him enough.

Gabe did an amazing job revamping our website, and we're excited to see how the SEO optimization helps drive new business. As someone who doesn't know much about the tech side, I appreciated how simple he made the entire process. I basically sent him a bit of content, and he turned it into something far better than I could have imagined.

His creativity, attention to detail, and ability to translate ideas into reality make him an exceptional partner to work with.

The entire process was simple, straightforward, and stress-free. He took photos and content from my existing social media pages and turned them into a professional-looking website that represents my business very well. What impressed me most was his attention to detail.

I have been working with Gabe for the last 8 months through 5 web development projects. He is extremely knowledgeable on building websites, using AI, SEO, building apps, and integrations — and is very fast, responsive, and so pleasant. Will continue working with him into the future!

BUILT IN COLORADO
Made in Colorado, for Colorado businesses.
From Lone Tree and the south Denver metro to Castle Rock, Parker, and the wider Front Range, I build for the people who live and work here.
Every site on this page is my work, design through launch. That's the point of hiring one person. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off, and the guy building your site actually knows your business.

Questions I hear on almost every call
If yours isn’t here, the free consult call is the fastest way to get it answered.
How much does a website cost?
I price each project to what it needs, so there’s no tier table. You get one flat number before we start, and it doesn’t move unless the scope does. The fastest way to get that number is the free consult call.
Why not just use a cheap template or Wix?
People can tell a template site when they see one, and they judge the business by it. Fair or not, that’s how it works. I hand-build sites that load fast and are structured so Google and AI search can read them.
How long does a project take?
Most marketing sites take 3–6 weeks from kickoff to launch. Bigger builds run longer, and so does anything waiting on content. I’ll give you a real timeline before we start.
Will my site actually rank on Google?
Nobody can promise a ranking, and I won’t. What I do is build solid technical SEO and useful content into the site itself, plus a properly set up Google Business Profile, and point it all at the local searches that bring in customers.
Can you get my business to show up in AI answers like ChatGPT?
That’s my AI Search & GEO work, short for Generative Engine Optimization. No one can guarantee an AI mention. Content the engines can cite and strong entity signals raise the odds, so that’s what I build, and I report on where you’re showing up in ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Want a site that pulls its weight?
