Why you got an email from me

This is the current version. Changes will be posted with a new effective date.
If you landed here, you probably got a cold email from me. No tricks — here's exactly who I am, how I found you, why I reached out, and how to make sure you never hear from me again if that's what you want.
Who I am
I'm Donovan Crader — a freelance web developer based in San Diego, California. I'm one person, not an agency or a call center. I build and fix websites for small and local businesses, with a focus on making them work for everyone, including people using assistive technology.
How I found your business
I found your business through public listings — the same way a potential customer would. That means public business profiles on Yelp and Google, and your own public website, where your contact email was listed publicly.
I don't buy email lists, I don't access anything private, and I don't collect sensitive personal information. It's just the business contact info you've already chosen to publish.
Why I reached out
I reached out because I ran your public website through an accessibility check and found issues that could affect real customers — and that increasingly expose business owners to ADA-related legal complaints.
Things like unreadable color contrast, images without text alternatives, forms that don't work with a screen reader, or buttons you can't reach with a keyboard. These are common, fixable, and easy to miss. My email shares what I found and offers to help — that's it. You're never obligated to reply or to hire me.
How to unsubscribe
Don't want to hear from me? Any one of these will do it — pick whichever is easiest:
- Reply with “STOP” Just reply to my email with the word STOP. That's enough.
- Click the unsubscribe link Every email I send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom.
- Email me directly Write to dcraderdev@gmail.com and ask to be removed.
Any of these adds you to my permanent do-not-contact list. I honor every opt-out — once you're off, you're off for good.
My promise to you
I don't sell, share, or resell my outreach list — ever.
And I never email anyone who has opted out.
Your information stays with me, used only to reach out about your website. For the full detail on how I handle data, see my Privacy Policy.
