Who is The Web Dude?

My name is Steve Leal and I am looking forward to becoming the premier San Diego web site design company for small businesses. I have been designing web sites for friends and for fun since the late 1990's. After working in the same (non-related) industry for nearly 30 years, I have decided to change channels and turn my hobby into my new career.

Although The Web Dude is a new business, I come into it with all the knowledge and skills necessary to build an effective web site and internet marketing strategy for your business! Let me show you why I should be the custom website designer for your small business!

I am lucky enough to live in beautiful San Diego. However, due to the nature of the work, I can help anybody in the world with their website needs. I have recently created sites for clients in Arizona, Louisiana, Texas and Florida and Hawaii.

Please take a look at some of my custom web designs (click the picture to go to the site), and some nice words my clients had to say about me and my work:

“Steve created and has maintained a website for me, sdsyndicate.com, for over two years now. My only expectation was a simple, informational site to keep players in our poker league updated. While keeping it simple per my instructions, he also created a site that exceeded my expectations. Each section is linked and flows well from one to another and it is the go-to source for all the information our poker community needs. Additionally, the site requires regular updates and Steve has been very responsive in handling this; often getting the material up within a couple of hours. He is working on a redesign of our site for our next season and I look forward to seeing how it turns out." - John Kral (San Diego Poker Syndicate)

“I was a bit skeptical with a friend's recommendation to go with a web designer located across the country. But, I am glad I did! Steve Leal has been excellent at staying on top of my businesses' website from the very beginning. Within a week of us launching the site, he had my business showing up on top search engines such as Google. If there is ever a picture or news update I want added to the site, he is on it within a few hours. My business has benefited greatly from Mr. Leal's hard work, ingenuity, and technical expertise. I am very happy I found someone as dedicated to his business as I am to mine"- Jeff Lakey (NOLA Paddleboards)

“Working with Steve on the creation of my web site has been a real pleasure. He listened to what I wanted to accomplish and has the knowledge and skills to make it happen. Establishing an online business is very new to me so I had to rely entirely on him and I’m very happy with the end product. I would not hesitate to recommend The Web Dude to anyone wanting a great web page." - Linda (Spirit Horse Designs)

"Steve Leal is a complete professional and I recommend his services without hesitation. Being a business owner that gets maximum exposure via our website presence, Steve's professionalism, efficiency, accessibility, and ease of working with are something I value highly. His patient suggestions have helped to create a site that is easy to navigate even with our many pages and links. 5 Stars!!" - Cathleen Murakami (Synergy Systems)
