About
Deadbounce is one person.
That is the point.
I'm Dylan Hughes. Email Deadbounce and I'm who replies. If your site goes down at nine on a Saturday, I'm who fixes it. No account manager, no ticket queue, and nobody quietly handing your project to a junior the week after you sign.
The name
A dead bounce is the calm play.
It comes from pinball. When the ball comes screaming down the outside of the playfield, the instinct is to flail. Flip wildly and hope. The better move is to do nothing: leave the flipper down, let the ball drop onto it, and let it bounce back up under control.
You stop panicking and let the chaos land where you want it.
Which turns out to be what most local business owners want from a website. You already know your trade. You don't need someone selling you a digital transformation strategy. You need it handled, properly, by someone who answers when you email.
Why the prices are on the website
Because hiding them
is a sales tactic,
and you can tell.
Every agency site says contact us for a quote. What that means is get on a call so we can figure out what you can afford. Every small business owner I've met knows it, and it's the single biggest reason they put off getting a website for another year.
So the prices are right there on the homepage, above the fold. If $500 is more than you want to spend, you haven't wasted a call. If it seems fair, we skip straight past the money and talk about your business.
I did the same for Tip Top Pinball, posting their hourly rates right on the page instead of hiding them behind a form. It works.
Local, actually
I live here.
I work with businesses in Richmond, Henrico, Hanover, Midlothian and Ashland. Not serving clients nationwide. Actually here, close enough to come look at your space.
That matters more than it sounds. I can shoot photos of your storefront. I can sit across a table for the first conversation, which for a lot of people beats a video call. And I know the difference between Scott's Addition and Short Pump without looking it up.
Also
A lot of the early work here has been pinball. Eclipse and Tip Top are both in the portfolio, and that's no accident. It's a small, tight community where word travels fast. If you run an arcade, a route, or a repair business, I already speak the language and I've already built the integrations.
The rest is contractors, trades, and hospitality. Businesses where somebody has to find you, believe you, then call.
