Who You'll Work With
Our head engineer plans and leads every project, with experience building software since 2014. That work includes interfaces for the FAA's modernization of the flight navigation systems pilots and air traffic controllers use, software for SaaS companies and national utilities, and member platforms for Philadelphia labor unions and benefit funds.
If your project needs extra hands or a specialist, we bring in experienced developers we trust. You keep one point of contact from the first call through launch.

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from the people we've built for.
Web Wizard is an amazing company! They designed my website for my business exactly the way I wanted. They also optimized my new website to naturally gain traction. Ever since, my sales have increased exponentially! I would suggest this company, whether they are big or small, to spice up their current website or even create your first website.
I cannot say enough good things about Web Wizard!!! Super easy to work with and receptive to all of my ideas. Very fairly priced. Zach truly made my vision come to life! If you are looking for someone to help design your website and grow your business, LOOK NO FURTHER!
Web Wizard did an amazing job on my website!! I emailed them asking about pricing to build an online store for my art and one of their devs got back to me super quickly to discuss the different options and pricing. In less than a week my shop was up and running! Will definitely use Web Wizard in the future.
Zack is a super cool guy. Very easy to work with. 10/10
I really like the sleek, intuitive layouts. Great, attention grabbing designs!
Questions About Hiring Web Wizard Dev
What does Web Wizard Dev build?
Websites, member portals, online stores, web apps and mobile apps, plus updates to sites and apps that already exist and technical consulting. We're based in Philadelphia and work with businesses and organizations nationwide.
How much does a website or app cost?
It depends on what you need, so every project gets a fixed-price proposal, broken into phases, before any work starts. Payments are split into four 25% milestones, and the first consultation is free. Our pricing page lists a typical range for each kind of project.
How soon can you start, and how long does a project take?
We reply within 1 business day. After you approve the proposal, work usually begins within 3-5 business days. As a guide, a business website takes 4-8 weeks, an MVP 2-4 months and a custom app 3-6 months; your proposal gives the exact schedule.
Who owns the code and the website when the project is done?
You do. Once the final payment is made, the code, designs, database structure and other deliverables are yours. Your domain is registered in your name, and hosting is billed to you directly.
Can you take over a website or app someone else built?
Yes. We take over sites and apps that other developers built, then fix, speed up or extend them. Ongoing updates are available too: we've kept a Philadelphia recording studio's website current since 2020.
