About Resolution Web Development
Web design and SEO for small businesses, from Byron Center, Michigan.
Our Story
Resolution Web Development began in 2016 as a high school side project: building websites for local businesses and figuring out how far a small business website could really go.
That curiosity turned into a business. Since then I've designed and built more than 200 websites, from simple sites for local service companies to member systems, custom databases, client dashboards, and API integrations that most people assume need an enterprise budget.
Built Around Results
I've never been interested in websites that just look nice. Every site I build is designed to bring in customers: fast on a phone, clear about what you do, and built to show up on Google. That's why I offer SEO alongside web design. A great website that nobody finds isn't doing its job.
Where We Are Today
Today Resolution Web Development is based in Byron Center, just outside Grand Rapids, and works with clients across West Michigan and the country. From service businesses needing local visibility to companies that need custom functionality, we build websites that perform, and we keep them current after launch.
We're not a marketing agency that "also does websites." We're developers who have spent nearly a decade perfecting one craft: building high-performance websites that drive real business results.
Meet the Founder
Jarod Dykstra | Founder & Lead Developer
I started Resolution Web Development in 2016 while still in high school, building websites between classes and figuring out what the web could really do for a small business.
After graduating, I made a decision that surprised a lot of people: skip college and go all-in on web development. For the first few months, I delivered sandwiches for Jimmy John's to pay the bills while building client websites at night. It wasn't glamorous, but it gave me the runway to turn Resolution into a full-time business.
What Drives Me:
I'm obsessed with solving problems. Not abstract coding challenges—real business problems. How do we get more traffic to your site? How do we turn visitors into customers? How do we automate the repetitive tasks eating up your time? That's what gets me excited about every project.
Eight years and 200+ websites later, I still get satisfaction from seeing a client's online presence transform—better traffic, more leads, and websites that actually work as hard as they do.
Beyond the Screen:
When I'm not building websites, you'll find me on the basketball court. I coach high school girls basketball and play pickup whenever I can. I got married in 2025 and still live right here in Grand Rapids where I grew up.
I built this business on the belief that you don't need a computer science degree to be great at what you do—you just need to care more than anyone else and be willing to put in the work.
