James Karnes

Founder & Web Developer · Punta Cana, DR

My Background

I founded DR Web Studio in 2023 with a simple mission: give Dominican businesses access to the same fast, modern web technology used by companies worldwide — without the slow WordPress templates most local agencies deliver. With years of development experience, I specialize in Next.js, Sanity CMS, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.

Living in Punta Cana, I understand the Dominican market firsthand — the tourism industry, the bilingual audience, the mobile-first browsing habits, and what local businesses need to compete online. Every website I build is custom-designed, SEO-optimized, and delivered with a full year of free hosting and maintenance.
