Hello

Kurt Dommermuth is a Senior Web Developer with extensive experience in front and back-end development.  Over the course of twenty years, rock stars and fortune 500 companies have utilized Kurt’s web sensibilities and skills, including design and programming.   Kurt’s recent work includes large, sophisticated WordPress websites for Choice Hotels and Versant Health as well as helping to migrate Kaiser Permanente away from self-publishing platform Brandcast into WordPress.  Kurt also single-handedly develops and runs Serious Email (serious.email ) – an Email Service Provider that counts both Choice Hotels and Kaiser Permanente as clients.   He also created and operates US Online Testing (usonlinetesting.com) – a Node.js tool for secure online testing.   US Online Testing is the only platform approved by the Fire Department of New York.  It includes John Jay College of Criminal Justice as one of it clients.

I am currently busy with the following:

I specialize in PHP/MySQL, JavaScript (NODE.js/Typescript.)  I manage a dozen or so WordPress sites.

  • icon_phpPHP
  • icon_mysqlMySQL

I value attention to detail, clear communication and have genuine passion for every project.

A few examples:

US Online Testing

US ONLINE TESTING is the first FDNY approved online / virtual testing platform. USOT enables students to take tests online and enables instructors to monitor and assist students while taking tests. Though USOT is FDNY approved, it is not just for fire and security certification. Classes of any kind can use USOT for testing.

Serious.email is an advanced solution for quickly developing, managing and sending HTML emails. If you represent a business who needs to manage unlimited ongoing email campaigns with evolving HTML email content, then you should be using Serious.email. With respect to actual HTML email development and testing, it far surpasses tools like Mail Chimp and Exact Target. Additionally, it does things no other ESP is capable of. You can manage thousands of users, apply refined roles to each, give them autonomy to send emails at their own discretion and at the same time ensure your brand standards are enforced. If interested, please do contact me for a tour. Serious Email is built using several Laravel components, Redis for a fairly sophisticated caching strategy and other things.

TreeServiceSoftware.com is a purpose-built CRM for stump grinding and tree service businesses, designed from firsthand operational experience rather than abstract product requirements.

After running a stump grinding business myself, it became clear that existing field service platforms were bloated, expensive, and poorly aligned with how tree and stump work is actually estimated, scheduled, communicated, and billed. Tree Service Software was built to address those gaps directly.

The platform handles quoting, job management, invoicing, customer communication (including two-way SMS), automations, and real operational metrics, with a strong emphasis on simplicity, speed, and cost transparency. It is intentionally opinionated software, optimized for solo operators and small crews rather than enterprise field service models.

Tree Service Software is a full-stack Node.js application with a custom multi-tenant architecture, role-based access control, real-time messaging, and a tightly integrated UI designed around actual field workflows. It is actively used to run a real stump grinding operation, ensuring continuous feedback between software design and operational reality.
