About

Origin Story & Founder’s Note

I’m Dat, your Los Angeles web designer and SEO expert. I don’t just build custom WordPress websites — you’ll also find me proudly embracing my role as a father of two sons.

I help Los Angeles small businesses grow online, build memorable brands, and outrank competitors—without forcing you to juggle five different vendors. Since 2020, I’ve run Growwithdat as a one-person partnership where I handle web development, design, and SEO directly.

I got here through a winding path. Back in 2012, I opened Fix Fixie—a bike repair shop in Panorama City that became a hub for local cyclists. I didn’t plan on becoming a designer; I taught myself Photoshop, built websites, and designed flyers because I had to. That necessity grew into a full cycling brand I launched from scratch, handled everything for, and eventually sold to a local owner (who still hires me today). After four years managing print projects for clients like El Pollo Loco and SADA, my son Nova was born in 2020. I started this agency to support my family while helping other small business owners actually succeed online.

We hired Dat to create our website last summer. He was so efficient and paid attention to every detail. Having Dat on board for our small business has made such a difference in overall operations and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
