About Peter Gerdes

I'm Peter Gerdes — a lifelong art enthusiast and a dedicated creator. My artistic journey began as far back as I can remember, with me sketching and capturing the world around me. In 2004 I stumbled upon my true calling when I was tasked to design my first logo. That pivotal moment ignited my passion for design and set me on an extraordinary path.

Venturing into the realm of technology, I kicked off my adventure in web development back in 2005. Armed with HTML and CSS, I dove headfirst into crafting custom websites, and there's been no looking back. Over the years, I've launched hundreds of websites across various platforms, dedicating my time to mastering dozens of tools to make me a full stack web builder.

In 2018 I stumbled upon Webflow — a website building platform that allowed me to create the highest quality websites, fast! Since then, I've said farewell to WordPress, and moved all my clients to Webflow. In the ever-evolving and changing landscape of design and tech, I am driven to stay at the forefront of innovation, consistently adopting the latest and most cutting-edge tools. And now with Evolving Sites my clients websites get to continuously evolve with me!


On a more personal note, I grew up on an 11,000 acre cattle ranch in Southern Oregon where work ethic was drilled into me at a young age. I tell people, I never had time to throw a football because I was too busy throwing hay. My life is colored by a myriad of hobbies and passions. Currently volleyball holds 1st place in my list of activities... I could play it every day if I had the chance! Above all, my family holds the most significant space in my heart. Since 2012, I've been fortunate to share my journey with my incredible wife Christine, who not only "completes me" but also inspires me to strive for betterment. Together, we're blessed with two amazing daughters, Ella and Izzy, who constantly keep me on my toes and young at heart.

Life took an unexpected turn in the winter of 2020 when we learned that our youngest daughter was deaf. While it presented its challenges, this experience has taught me the immeasurable value of embracing the tough moments in life. Our family embarked on a journey to learn American Sign Language (ASL), which has not only bridged communication gaps but has also enriched our lives in ways we couldn't have imagined. This newfound appreciation for communication has even extended to my business ventures, reinforcing the importance of effective communication in all aspects of life.

That's a glimpse into my world — a world where creativity, technology, family, and personal growth intersect to create a truly vibrant and fulfilling life journey.

Peter Gerdes came highly recommended by two different business associates when I needed a new website for my company. From the very first contact (he was on vacation with his family and still returned my call the same day!) he was professional, friendly and always there to answer any question. The most important part for me was to have my site up and running accurately and very quickly, and Peter exceeded all my expectations. I am very happy with the results and I highly recommended Peter for all your web design services.

A+++, I have been in business for 15 years. Peter has been the best website designed by far and it's not even close. He listened to my goals and was able to translate all of my personality and expertise into my website. His professionalism, communication, and speed of work makes him the best in the industry. He even shares market trends with you to share what's working and what's not working TODAY so you don't have to feel worried about an out dated website. Don't believe me? Ask him to show you my website. That's how confident and proud I am of the work he's done for my company. Working with Peter has been a pleasure. I'm confident he can help you too!

Giving Cephas Designs and Peter Gerdes 5 stars because I have worked with 3 other web designers prior to Cephas Designs and until I worked with Peter, I had been so dissatisfied and unhappy with the results from them! I had spent lots of time and money with a below average results until working with Cephas Designs. Peter was fantastic to work with. He made the designing experience fun and enjoyable and I really appreciated the time he took to get to know me and what my vision and goals for my website was for my business. He went over and above to provide insight, direction, exceptional workmanship with great turn around time. Time is of the essence when you are in business and wanting to reach out to prospective clients. Peter would actually get more than 5 stars if that was an option. First time in 16 years that I have had people go to my website and say "We love your site! It is so cool!" All I can say is Thank you Peter! May your business be extremely blessed because you are a God send for us that are not techy!!

Cephas again delivers beyond our expectations! Peter and his team have single handedly assisted our firm on our journey from a regional firm to a national brand. Their attention to detail and awareness of the heart is what separate them from the rest. They genuinely have your best interest at heart from start to finish. I cannot thank them more!

Peter has totally redesigned my business website and has done such an amazing job. He has been very prompt and has followed through every time we've spoken. I recently had some changes and the job he did adjusting some of the photos was astonishing. Obviously, I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for quality website design.

I needed a high-quality website built for my financial business. I found Peter at Cephas Designs, and I'm so glad I did! I am extremely happy with what he was able to accomplish for me. He worked with me and really listened to what I was wanting to accomplish and have for a finished product. He has also been there for me when I have needed to make small additions to my site. I cannot say enough about how Peter has taken care of me throughout the process and even now as I add to my website once in a while. I highly recommend Peter and Cephas. I was concerned about the cost and finding someone who would actually give me a great product I like for the money spent. I certainly found the right place here!! I believe you will too.

Peter was incredible to work with! No hidden fees or surprises unlike most companies we’ve worked with in the past. Our tow truck business has the sickest website light years ahead of our competitors. We have already referred Peter to multiple friends. He is a a true gem in a confusing and often crooked industry.

Cephas Designs did my website: GirlPowerFinance.net. I wouldn't have anyone else touch my site. I have also had the pleasure of working with Peter on other websites--and that's after I've tried others. Peter is simply the very best. His attention to detail, his knowledge of how sites should be put together--it's top shelf, all the way. I'm always amazed at the artistry and that translates into usability. People LOVE going to my GirlPowerFinance.net site--and that translates into prospects which I can then turn into clients. Thank you Peter for all the care you put into your work!

The experience, process, and end result were exactly what we were looking for. I'm so grateful we met Peter when we did. We needed to build a new website and after two bad experiences elsewhere, we were introduced to Peter and decided to work with him. We were on a time constraint and he expedited the delivery of the final product without compromising quality. He was able to translate our vision perfectly and his creativity allowed for a couple options we never would have thought about. Overall, we think our website is the best one out there thanks to Peter at Cephas Designs!

Peter has the unique blend of design, coding, and communication talent with a big dose of truly caring how your project turns out. I felt like Peter was cutting edge in his approach and did mind taking the time to understand what I was looking for. He will also tell you if something is not a good fit for him. That's a refreshing quality.
