Web development for Orlando & Central Florida
Website development, ecommerce, and ongoing support for Orlando businesses
Zqdo is a web development studio run by David Frempong. We build and maintain websites for Orlando businesses—new builds, redesigns, Shopify and WordPress work, performance fixes, SEO, and the ongoing changes that keep a site useful after launch. Based on Florida's Space Coast, working with Orlando and Central Florida clients remotely and on-site when a project calls for it.
One developer, start to finish
You talk to the person writing the code, not an account manager relaying messages.
Any platform you already run
Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, or a custom build—we work in the stack you have.
Build and maintain
Projects don't end at launch. Ongoing support, fixes, and improvements are part of the work.
Measured against outcomes
Speed, search visibility, and conversion paths—not just a design everyone likes.
Overview
Most Orlando businesses looking for a web developer are somewhere in one of three situations. They need a first real website, they have a site that has aged badly and needs a rebuild, or they have a site that mostly works but nobody available to change it, fix it, or make it faster.
Zqdo handles all three. The common thread is technical ownership: someone who can read the code, understand the business goal behind a page, and ship the change without breaking something else. That covers marketing sites, Shopify storefronts, WordPress installs, Webflow projects, integrations between your site and the tools you already pay for, and the SEO and conversion work that determines whether any of it pays off.
Orlando and Central Florida cover a lot of ground—tourism and hospitality, healthcare, simulation and defense in the research park, construction and trades, professional services, and a growing base of ecommerce brands. The right build for a Winter Park law firm is not the right build for a Lake Nona clinic or a DTC brand shipping out of a warehouse off the 417. We scope around what your customers actually need to do on the site.
Services
The full range of work Zqdo takes on, whether you need a single project or an ongoing development partner. Every service page below has more detail on scope and process.
Custom builds with clean markup, sensible page structure, working forms, and a CMS your team can actually update. Built to be maintained, not replaced in eighteen months.
Website development →Rebuilds for sites that look dated, break on mobile, or bury the one thing you want visitors to do. We keep the pages and rankings that are working and fix the rest.
Website redesign →Theme development, custom sections, app integrations, checkout and PDP work, and speed fixes for Orlando brands selling online. Our deepest technical practice.
Shopify development →Theme and block work, plugin cleanup, security and update hygiene, and fixes for sites that have collected too many page builders over the years.
Development services →Webflow builds, CMS collections, and custom code for teams that want designers editing pages without filing a developer ticket for every change.
Webflow development →Ongoing support for businesses without an in-house developer—updates, content changes, bug fixes, monitoring, and a person to call when something breaks.
Website maintenance →Core Web Vitals, render-blocking scripts, oversized images, and the third-party tags that quietly add seconds to your load time. Measured before and after.
Website performance →Technical SEO, site architecture, schema, and content structure so your pages can be found in Google and cited in AI-assisted answers.
SEO services →Google Business Profile, location and service pages, citations, and review signals for Orlando businesses that need to show up in nearby searches and map results.
Local SEO →Analytics review, funnel analysis, and testing to find where visitors drop off—then the development work to fix it, not just a slide deck about it.
CRO services →Connecting your site to CRMs, email platforms, booking systems, payment tools, and internal workflows so data moves without anyone copying it by hand.
Integrations & automation →Platforms
We don't push every Orlando client onto the same CMS. If your site already runs well on a platform your team knows, the better move is usually to improve it rather than migrate.
Theme development, custom sections, app evaluation, checkout extensibility, and performance work. Our most-used platform, including agency-side development support.
Shopify development →Custom themes and blocks, plugin audits, migrations off bloated builders, and maintenance for sites that have gone untouched for a few years.
Builds and CMS setups for teams that want visual editing with clean output, plus custom code where Webflow's native tools stop.
Webflow development →Next.js and React builds when a site needs more than a CMS template—custom tools, dynamic content, or a product surface rather than a brochure.
Improvements and honest advice on whether staying is fine or whether the platform is now the thing holding your site back.
GA4, Google Tag Manager, server-side events, and conversion tracking set up so the numbers you make decisions on are actually correct.
Who we work with
Different businesses need different things from a developer. These are the situations where Zqdo tends to be a good fit.
Contractors, home services, clinics, and professional firms that need the phone to ring. The site's job is to be findable, load fast on a phone, and make contacting you obvious.
Shopify merchants who need theme work, speed improvements, PDP and checkout changes, app integrations, or a developer who can ship without breaking the storefront.
Firms selling considered purchases where the site has to explain complex services clearly, support a long sales cycle, and feed leads into a CRM.
Orlando businesses competing on booking-driven traffic, where page speed, mobile experience, and integration with booking or reservation systems decide the outcome.
Teams that need a marketing site, an onboarding flow, or a product surface built and iterated on quickly—Zqdo built and runs Stryo, a SaaS product, in-house.
Design and marketing agencies that need a developer inside their workflow. Zqdo has shipped contracted Shopify development for agency clients under NDA-style arrangements.
Scope
If you're deciding whether you need a developer or a designer, a marketer, or nothing at all, this is the practical list of what falls on the development side.
Working together
Agencies, freelancers, and in-house teams all solve real problems, and there are Orlando businesses better served by each. Here's what an independent developer specifically gives you, so you can decide honestly whether it fits.
Requirements don't get relayed through a project manager and lose detail on the way. You explain the problem to the person who fixes it.
The same person sees the business goal, the code, the analytics, and the search data—so the fix is picked for the outcome, not for the ticket.
A five-page site doesn't get billed like a platform rebuild. Small ongoing work stays small instead of triggering a new statement of work.
The developer who built it is still the one maintaining it a year later, which means changes don't start with someone relearning your codebase.
There's no in-house team to keep billable, so 'your current site is fine, fix these three things' is an answer we're willing to give.
Zqdo has worked as contracted development support inside agency workflows on high-traffic Shopify storefronts, so the standards come from that environment.

Zqdo is based on Florida's Space Coast and works with Orlando-area businesses remotely, with in-person meetings when a project genuinely benefits from them. Most development work—discovery, reviews, launches—runs fine over calls and shared docs.
If you're outside these areas but still in Florida—or outside Florida entirely—that's fine too. Most of our client work is remote.
FAQ
Straight answers to what Orlando business owners usually ask before starting a website project.
It depends on scope more than location. A focused fix or a small marketing site sits at the low end; a custom build, a Shopify storefront with app integrations, or a full redesign with content migration costs more. Ongoing maintenance is usually a monthly retainer sized to how often you need changes. We quote after understanding what the site has to do, so you're not paying for a package with features you'll never use.
A straightforward marketing site is typically a few weeks from kickoff to launch. Redesigns and ecommerce builds take longer because of content migration, product data, integrations, and testing. The biggest variable is usually content readiness on the client side. You get a timeline with milestones before work starts.
Zqdo is based on Florida's Space Coast, about an hour east of Orlando, and works with Orlando and Central Florida businesses regularly. Most of the work happens remotely—calls, shared docs, staging links—and we meet in person when a project genuinely benefits from it. If being able to sit down with your developer in Orlando every week is a requirement, a local-only shop may suit you better, and that's a fair thing to want.
No. Shopify is the deepest part of our technical practice, but a large share of the work is WordPress, Webflow, custom builds, and general web development for businesses that don't sell online at all. If your project isn't ecommerce, it's still squarely in scope.
Yes, and it's a common request. We'll audit what you have, document how it's built, fix what's broken or slow, and either keep improving it or plan a rebuild if the foundation isn't worth maintaining. You'll get a clear recommendation either way, including when the honest answer is that the current site is fine.
Yes. Maintenance is a core part of what Zqdo does—updates, content edits, bug fixes, performance monitoring, and small feature work. A lot of Orlando businesses come to us specifically because their previous developer disappeared after launch.
Yes. We handle the technical and structural side—site architecture, page speed, schema, internal linking, crawlability—plus local SEO work like Google Business Profile and location pages. That's the foundation content and link building sit on top of. If you already have an SEO agency, we're comfortable implementing their technical recommendations.
Yes. Zqdo has provided contracted Shopify development support inside agency workflows, including work on high-traffic storefronts for the agency Minion Made. If you're an Orlando agency that needs development capacity without hiring, that's a normal arrangement.
A description of your business, what the current site does or doesn't do, and what a successful outcome looks like. Access details and content can come later. The first conversation is about whether the project is a fit, not a sales pitch.
