About FortiPress

Hi, I'm Brandon Zundel, the founder of FortiPress.

I've been an online marketer and web developer since 2007.

I'm also an avid outdoorsman, and dedicated family man to my wife and 3 wonderful kids.

I started FortiPress in 2014 after cleaning up "one too many" hacked WordPress sites.

Don't get me wrong, cleaning up hacked sites pays pretty well, but it is not fun!

Every one of these hacks could have been prevented, but if you're like many people who run their own website, you spend much more time worrying about your content than you do about keeping hackers out... And you should.

The thing that separates FortiPress from every other "WordPress Security" product or service is:

It's NOT a plugin... there's nothing for you to install. (we do that part)

It's NOT a firewall solution.

FortiPress is REAL people doing REAL work... REAL experts monitoring your site... REAL people, not software.

We don't rely on algorithms, IP blacklists, or any other automation pattern... (we do use some of these, but that isn't the end of it)... With FortiPress you get an expert much like myself who dives in, finds the vulnerabilities based on YOUR individual needs, and customizes the protection to fit your site's individual needs and goals.

And I personally train every single person I bring on my team. That means you are working with an expert no matter who you're dealing with. (And don't be surprised if you're working with me personally, I'm in the trenches too.)

What you do with your site is your decision, but just in case you wonder if I'm "really as good as I say"...

Here's what some of my clients have to say about me...

"Brandon is the one developer I go to first with any problem I have that I can't afford to have go wrong. He's ALWAYS cheaper in the end. He's the most responsive of anyone I work with in this area. I think he secretly has cloned himself because I can't imagine how he does all that he does and gets it done so fast and SO WELL.

He has rescued numerous clients of mine who had no developer or who needed messes cleaned up because they hired "the other guy".

Brandon doesn't need to be micromanaged or given every tiny little detail. He'll ask for what he needs and figure out the rest in less time than it would take to explain it to him. I couldn't possibly give him a higher recommendation unless I had a more extensive vocabulary... and even then, I feel words would lack."

As an Digital Marketer, my most important requirements from a tech perspective are speed and reliability.

If I have an idea that I want to test I need to execute it as quickly as possible. I also need the tech to be reliable, the last thing I want is something to break or not work during a massive promo.

For those reasons Brandon is my go to guy for all coding and programming needs.

He can have my “idea” live within a matter of hours (sometimes minutes), and NOTHING ever breaks or goes wrong.

Even if I have an idea that Brandon is unfamiliar with, he figures out exactly what I need, and creates it from scratch.

He’s been an invaluable asset to my business over the last 12 months and has given me peace of mind when it comes to all the scary tech stuff.

I have worked with many developers over the years and I must say it's not easy to find one as competent as Brandon.

I never have to worry if Brandon will get the task at hand done.

If he says he is on it, he's on it. He not only does it quickly, more importantly he does it properly.

I've hired Brandon for a few projects now. I like that I can rely on him to do the job right the first time.

Not only that though, he delivers work on time, communicates well in the process, and I can be hands free during the project.

I'd recommend Brandon's services to any of my friends (never my competitors :)

I have worked closely with Brandon on various projects over the last 8 years or so. I've come to view him not just as a great developer and programmer, but as a close personal friend. He's brilliant, yet down to earth with a good heart.

Many times I've come up with what seemed insurmountable technical challenges, and Brandon always comes through, usually amazing us with how quickly. He basically tells me if I can imagine it, he can make it happen... the only obstacles are if we need robotics..."

Years ago I nicknamed Brandon "The Box"... after the black box on jet aircraft, that basically "knows everything." Anytime a particularly nasty challenge rears its head, it's time to call the Box. He almost always knows what to do... and if he doesn't, it's even better: Because he'll make it a personal vendetta to tear that problem apart like an angry pit bull until there's nothing left of it.

As we've worked together over the years, I've watched Brandon's skills continue to develop by leaps and bounds, not just in his technical proficiency with computers, but in his understanding of marketing funnels, design, relentless testing, his copywriting skills, his understanding of people and how they buy.

He's been an integral part of helping me generate millions of dollars through various business ventures and projects in our time together.

There's just a couple of things I'm still trying to figure out about the Box. "Why doesn't he keep his skills to himself, build his own business, and not worry about helping everybody else make their ideas successful?" And secondly, since his choice has been to help others with their success, is "why in the world does he do it so cheaply?"

I'm just glad he's there with a helping hand when I need it, and I'd certainly recommend him to anyone that has a chance to take advantage of his skills.

"Brandon is tough to work with…

I've had team members complain to me about how high his rates are, but it always ends up being cheaper than developers with lower rates because:

1) He's way faster and more efficient when he's 'on the clock' than any other developer I've ever worked with

2) He gets it done right the first time, which saves time and ultimately money.

In every situation that requires a skilled developer, I’d rather have him work for me than some cheaper "offshore" option.

Sometimes it's a tough sell to team members, but none have regretted it when I can talk them into the "better" option, and that’s Brandon!"

"In a world where developers are unreliable and flaky Brandon is in a league of his own. I've never had a single project where Brandon didn't complete the job (or go above and beyond), communicate everything clearly, and get the work done faster than expected.

One time we had a problem the night before a major launch and Brandon was around to help us at 9PM...you won't get that with other developers."

A couple years ago I had the opportunity to be able to work with Brandon after being introduced to Brandon by a very influential friend of mine.

I got introduced out of frustration, because prior to meeting Brandon, I had spent thousands of dollars on programmers who had no idea what they were doing… and chances are you can probably relate to my frustration if you’ve ever hired a programmer yourself.

We worked on the first project, and it was amazing. I finally found a developer who GOT IT, who GOT my vision, who GOT what we were trying to build, and was able to bring it to life FAST.

Since then, we’ve worked on multiple projects. (It would be a lot more projects, but every time I reach out to Brandon—and you know this for a fact if you’ve reached out to him yourself—is he’s always busy, and there’s always a waiting list of clients who want to work with Brandon for good reason!)

He’s a phenomenal developer, and what he builds WORKS.

Brandon Zundel has always been a pleasure to work with because he is very knowledgable and proficient as a developer and coder. He's also a really nice guy!

His understanding of Wordpress and development of custom plug-ins and scripts is great. I always rest easy knowing that he has helped to make my sites run smooth, stay secure and perform as they should.

It pains me to share this because Brandon is like a secret weapon! He will save you time and money by getting it done right the FIRST time. He's the fastest and best developer I've ever worked with, you just can't go wrong working with him.

Brandon Zundel is my go-to resource for IT, web development, and coding.

He's fast, smart, and cool.

You're in good hands with Brandon.

I have been around the online business world for years and have worked with far too many developers to count, the horror stories I could tell you.

There hasn’t been anyone better than Brandon, especially with wordpress. He just flat out knows what he is doing and is able to get it done in a timely fashion.

I have hired cheaper developers but it always ends up costing me more to get the job done in both time and money. Brandon is a class act that you would be off your rocker not to engage in working on your projects.

No matter what he charges or what services he offers, he is the man for the job!
