Michael Kiger is a dedicated American web developer whose career is defined by a transition from traditional CMS management to sophisticated modern web architecture. Based in the United States, Michael has cultivated a professional ethos centered on transparency, rapid communication, and high-performance code.

He successfully passed the entrance exams for the DeVry University Associates in Information Technology program, providing him with a structured understanding of IT systems. However, in the fast-paced world of web development, he identifies primarily as a lifelong learner.
He has personally completed over 100 specialized courses and tutorials covering the full spectrum of modern development. This includes deep dives into the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js), Tailwind CSS, and his current mastery focus: Angular and RxJS. This commitment to education ensures that his clients receive modern solutions rather than outdated practices.

These projects demonstrate his ability to identify "Perfect Domain Names" and build cohesive, industry-specific landing pages that are ready for commercial use.
His work often involves "Five Page Website" packages that offer small businesses a comprehensive digital footprint for an affordable flat rate. Each project includes custom Schema Markup, ensuring that the business is "explained" correctly to search engines from day one.
Michael maintains a high rating across major freelance platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, largely due to his "above and beyond" approach to client satisfaction.
His clients frequently cite his ability to integrate complex tools like SureCart and Square payment gateways, as well as his proficiency in migrating sites away from bloated builders like Elementor toward the more efficient Astra and Gutenberg ecosystems.
