About Me

I am originally from the mid-west, going to school and starting my career in Michigan. I moved around in various sales positions until moving to the Southeast in a marketing role. I started an eCommerce department for my corporate employer at the start of the internet boom. We grew the business to seven figures and helped expand the brand footprint online.

I started Capstone Website Design in 2015 with the mission of “to bring the power of the web to all small businesses, and entrepreneurs”.. With over 25 years of Sales, Marketing, and eCommerce experience to draw from, we are helping build brands and drive financial growth for online businesses.

Testimonials

The best endorsement is a satisfied customer.  Here are comments from a few of our customers.

“Steve Brinkey at CAPSTONE developed the first ever website for Fountain Manor HOA.  Working with a small group of volunteers from the neighborhood he created a secure, good-looking site, which is useful for residents and informative for the public.  We found him to be a good listener and very good at explaining to those of us without any web design background how things could work.”

Julia Nile

Web Committee Chair, Fountain Manor HOA

“Working with Capstone has been a very pleasant and enjoyable experience for one who is “an old dog learning new tricks” when it comes to the “new world” of content management and building client relationships through websites. Steve Brinkey was patient, understandable, willing to listen and work with me to achieve my objectives. His (Capstone’s) quick response to answer questions and address my concerns as they arise is truly rare and welcome !!”

Weezie Glascock

Owner, Just Ladies Traveling

“Steve at CAPSTONE has been great to work with.  He reviewed all of my needs and has been clear with each step of the process.  Everything exceeded my expectations where I had them and my eyes were opened to a whole new world of opportunities that I didn’t see.  The professionalism is first class, even though the service is very warm and personable.  As I grow my business, Steve has helped me with my logo, uniforms, website, web presence, social media, and marketing direction.  My growth, in part, can be directly measured due to Steve’s efforts.  I will continue to keep C@PSTONE as part of my business operation.”
