Hi, I'm Zach.

I’m a web developer based in Sandy, Utah and the founder of Wasatch Bitworks. After 24 years in local broadcast television, I spent several years studying software development and building real-world projects before founding Wasatch Bitworks.

Today I help small businesses build fast, modern websites that are easy to own, easy to maintain, and built without agency complexity or template-driven shortcuts.

About Wasatch Bitworks

I started Wasatch Bitworks because I believe small businesses deserve well-built websites they actually own, without the complexity or overhead of a typical agency.

I kept seeing small businesses pay thousands of dollars for websites that were difficult to update and expensive to maintain. I thought there had to be a better way. Wasatch Bitworks grew out of that idea: custom-built websites that are straightforward to own, simple to manage, and built for the long term.

I intentionally keep Wasatch Bitworks small so clients always know who's building their website and who they'll be talking to.

How I work

Every project is different, but a few things stay constant.

Direct communication
There's no team behind me handling communication. When you have a question or a change, you're talking directly to me.
Built for ownership
Every website is built specifically for your business using modern, portable technology. You own the finished product, without being tied to a proprietary website builder.
Fast and practical
I focus on what actually matters: a site that loads fast, works on every device, and helps your business get found online.
Reliable by design
Clean code, solid infrastructure, and no shortcuts. I build things to last, not just to launch.
Clear expectations
Clear pricing and honest timelines. If something's going to take longer or cost more than expected, you hear about it before it happens.
Always learning
I build personal projects because I'm genuinely curious how things work, and that same curiosity carries into client work. I care about getting it right, not just getting it done.

Outside of work

I live in Sandy and spend a lot of time outdoors in the Wasatch Mountains: snow in the winter, trails in the summer, and plenty of camera time along the way. One of those interests eventually became Wasatch Birdworks, a personal project built around bird detection, photography, and local wildlife observation.
