About

Websites built by a real person, right here in Brooksville.

I’m Thomas Walz. I design and build fast, clear websites and custom web apps for small businesses, and I stay with you after launch.

Hi, I’m Thomas.

Lightstack is my one-person web studio. You work with me directly, from the first call to launch day and every update after.

A lot of small business websites are slow, hard to use on a phone, or impossible to find on Google. Most owners know it, but they don’t have the time to fix it or anyone they trust to do it. That’s why I started Lightstack.

By day, I’m the IT director at a K-12 school, where I also build the web tools people rely on, like the help desk app our staff use every day. I bring the same care to every site I build: clean, fast, and easy to keep up to date.

When we’re done, you’ll have a site you’re proud to send people to. And when you need a change, you just email me.

What I build

Websites first, and the web tools around them

  • New websites

    A fast, clear site that tells people what you do, works great on a phone, and makes it easy to call or book.

    From $1,800

  • Redesigns
