My Dead-Then-Not-Dead Friend
(And Why Your Website Might Need a Lazarus Moment)
By David Alfaro
This isn’t a horror story.
It’s a real story. Weird, but 100% true, with a business lesson inside.
Last week, I was on the phone with a friend. Casual chat. Until she dropped this:
“David, I was dead for a week.”
Wait… what?
She wasn’t joking.
Turns out her bank made a bureaucratic mistake and literally marked her as dead. Just like that. Froze her accounts, shut down her business (a local print shop), and nearly wrecked everything.
Thankfully, she got it sorted (after fighting with half the system, I imagine).
But here’s the point:

If your business isn’t visible online… it might as well be dead.
No one finds you. No one buys from you. No one even knows you exist.
And you’ve got something worth selling.
That’s why I build websites that don’t just look good, they bring in customers. Sites that work for you, even when you’re busy doing your thing.
Need one? I can help.
No discounts, no fluff. Just honest, clean design that gets your business back in front of people.
Not ready for a full redesign? No problem.
