Who is behind Artifex?

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew 5:14

It started with a conviction. Bible-preaching churches had some of the worst websites on the internet — not from lack of care, but from lack of anyone in their corner who could represent them well online. A ministry set on a hill to reach the lost was hidden under a digital bushel. A doctor, a trade, a small business with something worth finding — same story.

That conviction led to a project. The project led to a craft. Twenty-plus years in cybersecurity gave me the discipline. The rest I taught myself — using every resource available, including AI — until the work spoke for itself. The name Artifex comes from Latin: craftsman. It's not a slogan. It's an accountability. Every site I build has one job: to be found.

I'm Orlando. I'm based in Virginia.

What do clients say about Artifex?

From blah to bling. That's been our experience with having Orlando completely redo our churches' website. He completely replaced our site with a new and updated system. The new site is much more functional and user friendly and the pages are all coordinated. He was so easy to work with. He quickly edited or changed everything we felt needed. We have had 2 first-time visitors just in the last 2 months who came solely because they had found our website. I would highly recommend Orlando's ministry…not only because of his expertise in this area but mostly because he considers this an outreach ministry to help churches reach more people for Christ.

Faith Baptist Church — Colonial Heights, VA
Our website is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is a piece of art that makes such an impression on our customers that it serves as a lead generation engine in and of itself. If you're looking to work with somebody who has integrity, passion, and expertise, look no further than Orlando Garcia with Artifex.

What should you know before hiring a web designer?

What types of businesses does Artifex work with?
Artifex builds websites for three types of organizations: Baptist churches, healthcare and wellness practices (like chiropractic clinics), and small businesses. Every site is custom-coded with technical SEO and structured content to support discovery. Results vary. No templates and no shortcuts.
How much does a custom website cost?
Clear, fixed-scope options cover common website needs. If your project needs something different, Artifex provides a custom proposal with the scope and price stated before work begins.
What is AEO and why does my website need it?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It structures public content so AI systems can more easily find and understand it. Citation or recommendation is not guaranteed.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and SEO?
Yes. Artifex offers monthly support plans that include software updates, security monitoring, tracking which searches bring people to your site, content updates, keeping your Google listing accurate and effective, and strategy calls. Plans come in different levels — from basic maintenance to full-service growth partnerships.
Why custom WordPress instead of Squarespace or Wix?
For new engagements, clients own their production domain and hosting accounts while Artifex uses delegated access. Managed exceptions are documented. No Artifex retainer is required unless the agreement says otherwise; hosting and third-party costs may continue.
What is the Artifex Visibility Report?
The Visibility Report is a free automated on-page website diagnostic. It checks selected public-page signals across technical health, on-page search signals, structured information, and content clarity. It provides plain-language findings and a downloadable PDF report. The Artifex diagnostic score does not predict rankings, citations, recommendations, or leads.
Do you work with churches and businesses outside Virginia?
Yes. All development is done remotely, so location does not limit the engagement. Artifex is based in Colonial Heights, Virginia, with current clients in Virginia and Connecticut.
