About Crowd Surf Media

A one-man web design show

Hey, I’m Bert Baez, a CT web designer, music lover, and founder of Crowd Surf Media. I’ve been building websites for over a decade, helping small businesses bring their vision to life online. Through my other studio, Pixel Pros Design, I’ve worked with clients across Connecticut and beyond on custom WordPress sites, branding, and digital strategy. But Crowd Surf Media is where I let loose and have some fun.

The name comes from my love of live shows and rock music—there’s nothing like the energy of a crowd, the connection, and the shared experience. That same feeling is what I aim to create through design: something that grabs attention, pulls people in, and leaves a lasting impression.

You’ll notice LEGO characters pop up throughout Crowd Surf Media—that’s not just for laughs (though I do love a bit of humor). To me, LEGO is the perfect metaphor for how I approach web design: every project starts with a pile of pieces, and it’s all about building something great from the ground up. It’s also a nod to staying playful, curious, and creative (no matter how serious the project).

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me at a concert, crowd surfing to my favorite band, or spinning vinyl in the studio.

My Design Process

Building a website with me is kind of like starting a band. We kick things off with good vibes, make a plan, jam out the web design, and get ready to rock the launch. It’s a creative, collaborative process that’s fun, low-stress, and all about making something awesome together.

Discover

Every great site starts with a great conversation. I take time to get to know you, your goals, your audience, and what makes your business tick. We’ll talk strategy, vibe, and vision—like a band warming up before a show.

Plan

Once we’re in sync, I map out the structure of your site. This involves user flows, wireframes, and content planning. This is where we lay the groundwork for a smooth experience, making sure every page has a purpose and your visitors know exactly where to go.

Design & Build

Here’s where the magic happens. I design a custom WordPress website that’s not only beautiful but built to convert. I make sure your site looks great on every screen and rocks just as hard behind the scenes.

Launch & PARTY

After a full round of testing and polishing, we launch! I’ll guide you through the hand-off, provide training if needed, and stick around for support and maintenance. It’s your time to shine, and I’ll be right there cheering you on from the pit.
