About Sitethreesixty

I'm Steve Brown, founder of Sitethreesixty.

I've spent my life building, fixing, designing, and learning by doing — often with my hands, sometimes the hard way, and always with a need to understand how things actually work.

I'm an animal person through and through. Dogs, cats, horses — I like them all. Loyalty, honesty, and standing by my word matter to me. Reliability matters — if I say I'll do something, it gets done properly.

In the UK, the term would be "tinkerer." Building and making things is a big part of who I am, from 3D printing and TIG welding to construction, car repair, smart home technology, networking, and computers. I enjoy taking things apart, improving them, and never accepting "that's just how it is" as an answer.

My career has been just as varied. I've owned multiple businesses — some successful, some less so — and every one taught me something valuable. In Florida, I've built bars and restaurants, carried out TIG marine welding, and worked hands-on in environments where quality, safety, and reliability actually matter.

Sitethreesixty is about understanding the full picture and building things that make sense in the real world.

Earlier, I spent over a decade as a lighting and sound technician and DJ. That world teaches you preparation, adaptability, and how to stay calm when things go wrong — because there are no do-overs.

For more than 12 years in the UK, I managed teams responsible for systems infrastructure for a hospitality chain. That gave me a deep respect for scale, resilience, and systems that work quietly and consistently in the background.

Sitethreesixty exists because I've seen too many systems, services, and ideas that look good from one angle but fall apart when you step back. This site is about perspective — understanding the full picture, asking better questions, and building things that make sense in the real world.

My father was a welder. He worked long hours, came home tired, and took pride in doing things properly. He never had to worry about websites — but if he were starting out today, he'd be expected to have one. And the industry would charge him a fortune for it, or hand him a tool and tell him to figure it out himself. That doesn't sit right with me.

A good website shouldn't cost more than your tools. It shouldn't require a computer science degree to maintain. And it shouldn't be something that keeps you up at night when you've already done a full day's work. I build websites for people who build things, fix things, and get things done — because that's the world I come from, and those are the people who deserve better than what's currently on offer.
