Jeremiah's Story

Jeremiah stepped into web design and software development in 2012, starting with a now-outdated book, "Head First Web Design." His real growth spurt happened in 2015 at The Tech Academy in Portland, Oregon, where he mastered various programming languages. Over the next three years, he polished his skills through website projects, treating them as a side hustle.

In 2018, an enlightening experience with his grandfather-in-law, a master craftsman in flooring, sparked Jeremiah's dedication to applying his web design and local SEO expertise to become a master craftsman in the digital world. At this point he founded Svaren Web Studio.

Through continuous learning and application across different sectors, Jeremiah has developed a keen sense of what businesses need to flourish online, offering valuable web design tips through YouTube tutorials. He's worked with a range of businesses, from one of the largest steel fabricators in the U.S.A. to niche YouTubers and everything in between. But he's always enjoyed working with local blue-collar business owners. They keep our local communities moving forward.

In March of 2023, Jeremiah launched the beta version of LeadingLocal to some clients at Svaren Web Studio. And so the story of LeadingLocal began...

Connect with Jeremiah

Before using LeadingLocal we were just another small business struggling with staffing issues up front. Trying to balance life between the front desk and actually getting customer cars fixed in the back. Now I have one main guy upfront, and if we miss call, or text, LeadingLocal will follow up with the customer while we finish up with the customer at our desk. LeadingLocal has essentially replaced two people, and has given us better follow up and customer service with our customers.
