What I Do

  • Development

  • Strategy

  • Partnership

Every project starts with the client, not the platform.

Before I write code, I learn the brand, the content, and who will update the site after launch.

It starts with a discovery call with you and your client. Then I write up a scope outline and an estimate, and we go over it together until you, your client, and I agree on exactly what's being delivered.

I write most of the code myself and keep third-party libraries to a minimum, so sites stay fast and are easy to hand off or maintain.

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

After launch, I stay on for maintenance and updates, billed hourly or through a monthly retainer with rollover hours. Your client is never left without a developer.

Fast, accessible sites your client's team can update without me.

Josh Nussbaum, founder of Wave Land

Hi, I’m Josh.

Before web development, I spent 10+ years as a session guitarist. The stage looks different these days, but the job is the same: learn the material deeply, serve the project, and make everyone around me sound good.

My first development job was in-house, building for brands like L’Oréal and AAA. It taught me that I do my best work as a partner, not just a pair of hands. Agencies working at that level need exactly that.

When you work with Wave Land, you work with me, from the first call to launch day and after.

A CMS They Can Run

Every client gets an editing setup matched to their platform, with SanityPress as the premium option.

What Clients Say

"We reached out to Wave Land to help us develop a custom website that couldn't be made with even the most advanced templates. Their ability to guide us toward achieving our vision with both creative and technical expertise made creating our site a breeze. We had a very unique vision for the site that wasn't something we'd seen before, and Wave Land made it look easy."

- Drew, Supervoid.tv

"Wave Land Web is the best branding & communication decision I made for my business. Although Born Yesterday Bakery started off with font and colors in mind, Josh really took those small elements and ran with them. I get complimented on my website regularly. People love to use it! Also, Josh is an amazing listener/sounding board. He knows how to take my mess of an idea and turn it into something beautiful, cohesive & functional. Everything a website should be. I could not recommend Wave Land Web enough."

- Syd, BornYesterdayBakery.com

"I really love Josh's keen ability to connect with my vision and execute it even better than I could think of myself! He is also very punctual about responding to my requests and getting back to me with his updates."

- Emmie, PowerPassengerPassage.com

"Josh had incredible insight through the whole process. It helps when the person who is building your site understands music and what you want to portray."

- Robby, RobbyWebb.com

"I loved thinking and collaborating with Josh at Wave Land. He got me excited about my website, which not only affected how I branded myself for my online presence, but also influenced some of the ideas in my own research. Our work together connected so deeply to how I understand what I do, communicate it to others, and how I fundamentally do this work daily. I can't thank Josh and Wave Land enough!"
