# Modern Site Builders

> The portfolio and build-log site of David Miles, who designs, builds, and operates a network of niche websites and interactive tools. Every property listed below is owned and run by the same operator — this is a portfolio of independent internet businesses, not an agency or client work.

Modern Site Builders publishes the build logs behind each property: what was tried, what ranked, what failed, and the numbers behind it. Author and operator of all properties: David Miles (https://modernsitebuilders.com/author/david-miles/).

## Owned properties
