# About

About 
## A senior developer, *on your side of the table.*

Mountain Air Web is Nicholas Murray, a web developer in Campbell River, British Columbia, building for agencies and marketing teams across North America since 2014.

For most of that time the work has been the development half of someone else’s project: a PR agency’s client rebuild, a marketing manager’s site refresh, a bank’s API for a chatbot vendor. That is where the process on this site comes from: being the person who has to make the design, the content and the integrations actually work by launch day.

 What we believe 
## Three things that *don’t change.*

### Frameworks over themes

A purchased theme is somebody else’s decisions. A framework built for your content is cheaper to run, easier to edit and still yours in five years.

### The senior person does the work

No bait-and-switch, no junior on the critical path. AI accelerates the repetitive parts so that remains affordable.

### Build for how the web is read now

People, search engines and AI assistants all read your site. Every build ships readable to all three, with the data to prove it.
