Andrew Detwiler

Your Website Should Be
Bringing You Work.

I build websites, online stores and custom software. I also help businesses work out where AI and automation can help.

Some Things I’ve Built.

See selected work

Playtest analytics / My product / Case study

Playloop

I built Playloop for game developers and I run it. It records how people play, finds where they struggle across sessions, and turns that into a list of things to fix.

Real-world case study

See how I used it to analyze 215 Steam Next Fest playtests.

Community platform / Collaboration / Live

GS Poetry

I rebuilt GS Poetry with its team and we launched it. Writers publish their poems and find each other there, and I still work on it.

Business website / My studio / Live

Turtlevania Games

My studio's website. I designed and built it, and I keep it up to date: a page for each game, a newsletter signup and a public mission page.

What people say

  • ★★★★★

    I’ve had the pleasure of working with Andrew for well over a decade, across multiple companies and on more side projects than I can probably count. At this point, we’ve spent enough time working together that I’m pretty sure we could finish each other’s code. Whether that’s a good thing or not is up for debate.

    Andrew is one of those rare developers who doesn’t just know how to write code, but actually understands how to solve problems. He’s incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and has a knack for taking complicated challenges and turning them into solutions that make sense. He doesn’t settle for “good enough,” and that attention to detail really shows in everything he builds.

    One of the things I’ve always appreciated about Andrew is that he’s someone I can throw a half-baked idea at, and instead of telling me I’m crazy (which he probably should more often), he’ll start figuring out how we can actually make it happen. We’ve worked through plenty of challenges together, and there’s nobody I’d rather have helping me figure out the next impossible thing.

    Beyond the technical side, Andrew is just a genuinely good guy. He’s dependable, honest, easy to work with, and someone I trust both professionally and personally. We’ve built some great things together, had plenty of laughs along the way, and somehow still haven’t gotten tired of working with each other.

    After more than ten years, I can confidently say Andrew is one of the first people I’d want on my team for just about any project. He’s an outstanding developer, an even better person, and someone I’m lucky to call a friend.

How it goes

Three Steps, and You Own It.

  1. 1

    We Talk

    Fifteen minutes, plain language, no jargon. You tell me what you need.

  2. 2

    I Build

    You see real progress in days, not months, and you review it as it grows.

  3. 3

    You Own It

    Your domain, your site, your accounts. No hostage situations, ever.

Send Me a Job, Get 20% of It

Anyone who refers a client gets 20% of that client's first project, paid to you once that project is finished and paid for. A $2,400 website in your referral is $480 in your pocket. There is no limit on how many you send.

Businesses, friends, neighbors, other trades: everyone is eligible. Just put your name in the last box below when they get in touch, or tell them to.

When you get paid: when the client makes their final payment and the project is done. Not at the deposit, because a project that gets canceled halfway would mean asking for it back, and I would rather never have that conversation with someone who did me a favor.

How you get paid: PayPal or Venmo, whichever you use.

One form first. Before I can send money I need a W-9 from you, or a W-8BEN if you are outside the United States. It takes a couple of minutes, I keep it on file, and it is the reason I can pay a referrer anywhere rather than only in the States. If what I pay you adds up past $2,000 in a year I also send you a 1099 in January, and the payment app may report separately on its own rules. I am saying all of this up front because finding out in January is worse.

How You Pay Me

Half up front, half when it is done. The deposit is what puts you on the calendar. The rest is due at delivery, and if you are not happy at delivery we are not done.

You get a real invoice you can pay by card or bank transfer. No retainer before we have talked, no hourly billing, no surprise line items. The price on this page is the price, and if something you ask for later is bigger than what we agreed, I quote it separately before I build it rather than adding it to a bill you have not seen.

Monthly plans you can start yourself. The buttons above set up the plan and the first payment. Builds do not have a button on purpose: I quote the work first, then send the deposit invoice, so you never pay for something we have not talked through.

Monthly plans are month to month. Cancel any time, and you keep everything.

Whose name is on the bill. I work through my company, Turtlevania Games LLC, so that is the name on your invoice and on your card statement. It is the same company behind my games. The work is mine and you deal with me directly, but I would rather you read that here than wonder about it on a bank statement.
