Eight Deuce

Eight Deuce A one-man shop focused on building websites, shooting photos, and consulting with other solopreneurs. That’s where the name Eight Deuce came from.

Hey there, I’m Randy Johnson and I was born in good old 1982. Graphic design is what I spent most of my time on from 2000-2009, doing a lot of print work, identity design, etc. I had always done a little web design work here and there, but nothing serious. In early 2009, I discovered WordPress and I became intrigued. I started blogging and learning more ways to customize this popular framework. A

year later, I was building sites for clients and expanding my skills on the web, including SEO, social media, and other types of internet marketing. Between 2011 and mid-2014, I spent most of my time on just WordPress websites, most of which were e-commerce. I was creating sites for anyone and everyone, but many of my clients were in the custom car/truck world. It didn’t take long to realize this was my niche. These days, I focus most of my time consulting with small businesses and professionals looking to grow their online presence. If you are looking to turn your basic informational website into an e-commerce site that gets your products available to the masses, I’m your guy. Looking for new marketing ideas? I have a lot of those too. I still take on new web design jobs, but I’m selective with who I work with. Typically this would include custom automotive related businesses, tattoo artists, small clothing lines, and entrepreneurs. This works out for both the client and myself because I’m very knowledgeable in these industries and they are based on things I’m passionate about. Now that you know a little about myself and my business, I’d love to hear about what you’re creating and how I can help you. A website doesn’t need to be some boring place where you throw up some quick text and photos. It should be a reflection of you and help tell your story to your audience. If you’re ready to improve your website, contact me today! I am currently located in Dayton, Ohio but work with clients all over the world. Travel is important to me, so I do it often. Luckily I just need my laptop and an internet connection to do my work. Now that’s what I call location-independent!

It’s been years… YEARS… since I’ve posted on this account. I’ve been building websites for clients for over a decade and I’ve mostly relied on word of mouth. (I still believe it’s one of the best forms of marketing out there, and it’s been used for centuries.) But a lot of people either forget I build websites and shoot photos and do other types of digital media, or they think I stopped all together to focus on other things. So I figured, why not get back to social media on all of my accounts (I have about 15-20 IG accounts… ya, I know). When I’m a customer or fan of something, or someone, or a business… I always check social first to see what they’re up to. Sometimes I have to put myself in my client’s shoes (or potential client’s shoes) and think how they would think. If I’m not posting, it makes sense to think I don’t build websites anymore. I never knew of a good way to share my web design business on social, so here I am doing it anyway… whatever makes sense in the moment. Like these photos. This was last Saturday at my vendor booth at a local car show, but one of my longtime website clients needed a website to launch at 1pm. So I had my laptop setup while I was selling tshirts in the middle of the event. This is what the entrepreneur life looks like! Some of my clients laugh when I tell them what my “office of the day” looks like when I’m working on their website. Sometimes in my studio, sometimes at a car show, sometimes in an Airbnb in Scotland. You just never know. But I get the work done and that’s what matters, not my location. So if you need any website or photography work done, hit me up. Let’s work on something cool. Local or across the globe, I’m ready to help you! (Oh ya, in case you forgot, it’s called Eight Deuce because I was born on 8/2/82.)

Six years since my last post on here! Still building websites for people all over the country. I’ve been strictly using WordPress and WooCommerce this whole time to build all client websites (and all of my own websites), which has been over a decade. But over the past few years I started using Squarespace and Shopify as well. If you or your business needs a new website, I can help you decide which platform would be the best for you. Contact me today with any questions or if you’re ready to get started!

Screenshot of the ecommerce site from my iPhone. Low Label is another one of my businesses. It's the place where I sell all of the clothing for all of my brands. All of the sites I build are responsive WordPress sites that are clean, modern, and simple to use. Let me know when you're ready to start selling online!

Brian from approached me about redesigning his site. He wanted something that was cleaner, easier to update for frequent blog posts, and responsive since we are all on our phones 24/7. He got just that!
Here's a random screenshot from the site from my iPhone 6. Looks best on a desktop but auto-scales to fit any device perfectly.
And if you're into old Chevy trucks like I am, go check out the site to see this badass video from 's 2015 Git Down shop party. I must attend this next year!
If you or any small biz you know of need website work, hit me up: [email protected]. Thanks!

Hi, I'm and I'm here to help. As a small business owner myself, I understand the importance of utilizing your resources to build your biz.
Let me be your web guy and I'll get you setup with a clean website that you'll love, easy for customers to navigate, and works well on mobile devices. Best yet, I'll train you how to update the site, unlike most web designers that will try to nickel and dime you for everything.
My calendar is filling up quickly, so hit me up this weekend and save some money. And if you're not looking for a website at this time, please tag a few people that you know that might be. Thanks!

Angela at reached out to me a few months back to build her online presence. She wanted to use the great features of so I integrated that into the responsive WordPress site I built for her.

And if you're looking for a new website or need your current site redesigned, this is the weekend to contact me. I'll be posting a sale tomorrow so stay tuned!

If you own a small business or thinking about taking your side gig to the next level, you're going to need a nice looking website.

The left side is a screenshot on my iPhone 6 of a responsive WordPress site I built for Seasonal Selections. They are based out of Waynesville, Ohio and make some of the best salsas around. Before I stepped in, they had a basic static site. It looked decent but no one could buy their products. They wanted to keep the same look but add e-commerce functionality so they could get these great salsas out to the rest of the world. So that's exactly what I did and they've been shipping a ton more orders. The right side of the screen shows two of my favorites: Spicy Sauerkraut and Sizzlin' Bacon.
