[ 01 - About ]
Formerly CMR Web Studio
I build websites that work as hard as you do.
I'm Christian Rapp, a web developer based in Southwest Florida with over a decade of experience building websites for local businesses, non-profits and organizations across SWFL and beyond.
CMR Web Development is my rebrand - reflecting a sharper focus on bespoke web design and web applications where UX and UI are front and center. Whether that's a custom-coded solution using Next.js, React, TypeScript, or Node.js, a thoughtfully designed WordPress CMS site, or integration with platforms like InkSoft or Shopify - every solution is chosen to fit your goals, not the other way around. Every site is crafted with intention, never retrofitted from a template.

What I do best
From your idea or mockup to launch - and everything after.
Website Redesign & Modernization
A lot of great businesses are being held back by an outdated website. I specialize in redesigning and modernizing existing sites - whether that means a full rebuild, a port to a new platform, or a targeted overhaul of design and performance. Many of the projects in my portfolio started as redesigns.
Why it matters
52% - 64%
of global website traffic comes from mobile devices (as of early 2026). If your site isn't responsive, fast and optimized for mobile, you're losing the majority of your audience before they read a single word.
- Full rebuilds & platform migrations
- Mobile-first responsive design
- Performance & speed optimization
- On-page SEO overhaul
- Modern UI/UX refresh
Signs your site may need a redesign:
It doesn't work well on phones or tablets
Mobile traffic is the majority — a non-responsive site drives visitors away instantly.
It loads slowly
Every extra second of load time costs you visitors, rankings and conversions.
It's hard to find on Google
An outdated site with poor structure and no SEO foundation is nearly invisible to search engines.
The design feels dated
First impressions matter. An old-looking site erodes trust before a visitor reads anything.
You can't update it yourself
If making a simple change requires a developer every time, the site is working against you.
Bespoke Web Design & Development
Every project starts with your users in mind - and search engines are part of that. Whether it's a custom-coded web application or a WordPress CMS site, every build ships with clean semantic markup, fast load times, and solid SEO foundations baked in from day one.
- UX/UI focused design
- Custom code & WordPress CMS
- Mobile-first & SEO ready
- Built to scale
Website Maintenance
Already have a website? I'll keep it updated, secure, and running smoothly - so you can focus on running your business, not troubleshooting your site.
- Content updates
- Security & backups
- Performance monitoring
- Monthly & yearly plans
Animation & Creative Effects
The details are what people remember. I add motion and life to your site through carefully crafted animations and interactions - the kind that feel intentional, not decorative. When it's done right, visitors notice the experience, not the effects.
- Scroll-driven animations
- Micro-interactions
- Parallax & transitions
- Framer Motion & GSAP
Interactive Tools & Calculators
Sometimes the most valuable thing on your website isn't content - it's a tool. I build custom calculators, quote estimators, and configurators that give visitors a real reason to engage and come back.
- Quote & price calculators
- Configurators & form builders
- Real-time feedback
- Fully custom logic
Directories & Data-Driven Sites
Got a lot of content that needs to be findable, filterable, and organized? I build directory-style sites and data-driven platforms that make large amounts of information easy to navigate - for you and your users.
- Searchable & filterable
- Custom taxonomies
- Map integrations
- Structured data & SEO
API & Software Integrations
Your website shouldn't live in a silo. I connect it to the software your business already depends on - whether that's a CRM, a booking system, a payment processor, or something more specific to your industry.
- CRM & booking systems
- Payment gateway hooks
- Third-party data sync
- Custom webhooks
Platforms & integrations I work with
From WordPress and WooCommerce to Shopify and InkSoft - I have hands-on experience building and integrating across platforms so you always get the right tool for the job.
[ 03 - How It Works ]
Simple process, no surprises.
From the first conversation to launch day - and beyond.
Discovery
We start with a conversation - no pressure, no jargon. Tell me what you're trying to accomplish, who your audience is, and what success looks like. I'll listen first and make sure I fully understand your vision before anything else happens.
Plan & Quote
Once I understand the project, I'll map out a clear scope and recommend the best approach for your needs and budget. You'll get a straightforward quote with no hidden fees - you'll know exactly what you're getting before we start.
Build
I work on a staging environment and keep you in the loop throughout. You'll get to review progress, request changes, and test things hands-on before anything ever touches your live site.
Launch & Beyond
When you're happy, we go live. I handle the launch, make sure everything is running right, and stay available for questions. Need ongoing help after that? Maintenance plans are there when you want them.
Common question
How much does it cost?
Honestly - it depends. A simple landing page and a fully custom web application are very different projects, and pricing reflects that. What I can promise is that you'll always get a clear, itemized quote upfront based on exactly what you need. No guesswork, no vague estimates. Reach out and let's figure out what makes sense for your project and your budget.

What clients say
“After taking over the marketing department for our Real Estate office I contacted Christian who built our website years ago. We spoke at length about the culture of our company and our vision and from day 1 he grasped the look and feel we wanted without sacrificing any tools or features that would allow us to help our consumers. Christian was extremely responsive, professional and the quality of his service was stellar. His price was extremely reasonable and he bent over backwards making sure the site was perfect down to the last little detail.”
Tucker Smith
Marketing Director, The Daniel Crapps Agency
“As a property management company in Florida, a professional website is a must. After months of maintaining and designing my own website, I decided to turn it over to a professional and that is exactly what I got. What prompt, professional, imaginative work they do! I am completely satisfied with their design. Now my company has a professional image and I have a perfectly functional website.”
Jennifer Suder
Dragonfly Properties
“Christian designed and put our website online and the increase in business was great. Then, when GoDaddy created problems and our domain was hacked, Christian put our website back online with a new domain, and again an increase in business. Job well done Christian - use us as a reference anytime.”
Alan Wright
Wright Flooring, Inc
“Mr. Rapp did an outstanding job designing our church website. He has a great sense of colors and placement of what is needed to make a website that is exciting, engaging, and just good looking. Most of all, we were impressed with Mr. Rapp's kind demeanor, patience, and response to our requests and changes promptly. Anyone who uses his services will be impressed and will highly refer him to others.”
