SITE AUDIT
HI, I'M DAN.
I started Blue Gorilla Media in 2013 with a simple belief: small businesses deserve expert web support without agency markups, offshore teams, or ticket queues.
When you hire Blue Gorilla, you hire me. I personally build every site, manage every account, and respond to every message. I've worked with 100+ businesses across clients nationwide — and every single client left a 5-star review.
Need a brand-new site? I build on WordPress or any platform that fits you best. Already have a site and just want it improved? I do that too — no need to start over if you don't have to. And when something breaks at 10pm, I'm the one who picks up the phone.

CHANGING FAST.
AI is reshaping search, content, and security overnight. Most business owners don't know what to do about it. That's exactly where I come in.
AI Is Rewriting Search
Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are changing how people find businesses — and sites that aren't structured for AI-powered search are quietly disappearing from results. I build and optimize sites for the new AI search landscape, not just the old keyword game. Schema markup, topical authority, and E-E-A-T signals are the new battleground.
Security Is Getting Harder
AI-powered bots now probe WordPress sites 24/7 — credential stuffing, zero-day exploits, and automated malware injection at a scale that wasn't possible two years ago. The future of web security is proactive, not reactive. I implement hardened firewalls, real-time malware scanning, automated backups, and keep your entire stack patched before threats arrive — not after your site is down.
Speed Is Now a Revenue Number
A one-second delay in page load drops conversions by 7%. Google's Core Web Vitals directly affect your rankings. I optimize every site for performance — image compression, lazy loading, CDN delivery, server-side caching, and database cleanup. Fast on every device, every network, every time.
You Need a Guide, Not a Guru
The internet is full of people selling expensive "AI transformation" packages and digital marketing snake oil. I give you straight talk — what tools actually matter for your specific business, what's noise, and a realistic action plan that doesn't require a six-figure budget. Over a decade of cutting through exactly this kind of jungle.
Not everyone makes it
out on top."
Every day, thousands of WordPress sites get hacked, lose their Google rankings, or go down at the worst possible moment — and most business owners don't find out until a customer tells them.
Blue Gorilla Media has been navigating this terrain since 2013. One expert. No ticket queues. No offshore handoffs. Just straight answers, fast responses, and a site that actually works for you — not against you.

STARS.
Every Google and Yelp review is a 5-star. That's not a coincidence — that's what happens when one person genuinely cares about your site.
"Spatial Wave's new product was announced and launched through a website that Dan built. He was reliable, quick and creative. We were very happy with the outcomes and would highly recommend him."
"Dan completely transformed our online presence. The site is faster, looks more professional, and we've seen a real uptick in inquiries since the rebuild. Couldn't recommend him more highly."
"We've been with Blue Gorilla for 3+ years. The site has never gone down, we never worry about updates or security, and Dan is always reachable. Exactly what a small business needs."
