About · Benjamin Cloud

Local roots. Serious execution.

I’m Benjamin Cloud, the one person behind Web Without Waste. I live in Cody, grew up in Powell, and design, build and run websites for businesses in Wyoming and beyond.

My background

Business background first.

Before web design, I spent years in upper-level management at small and large businesses. That changed how I see websites.

To me, a website isn’t decoration. It’s part of the business. It should help you get established, make sales, show customers what to do next, save time and build trust.

I’ve worked with local businesses, online stores, agencies and high-profile projects behind the scenes. The goal is always the same: a stronger website, and less mess for the owner.

I can design the page, write the words and fix the technical problems. And I still think like a manager — about customers, budgets and what actually pays off.

  • Management background

    Years of running teams before web work, so I treat your site as part of the business.

  • Wyoming roots

    Based in Cody, raised in Powell. Local, without the corporate process.

  • Broader experience

    Agencies, online stores, local businesses and high-profile work behind the scenes.

  • Hands-on

    Design, words, code, tracking and fixes — all done by me.

Things I’ve built

Tools, not just pages.

Some of the most useful things I’ve made aren’t pages at all. Every one of these is live — try them.

“I’ve worked with Benjamin at Web Without Waste on several of our websites, including Chaé Organics, Chaé Manufacturing, Chaé Nutra, and the ToxicFree Foundation. He has been a tremendous help across very different types of projects.”

What I appreciate most is that he understands websites from a business point of view. He doesn’t just focus on how things look — he thinks about how customers shop, how people find information, how promotions are presented, how the site performs, and how all of that affects the business.

Benjamin has helped with design, product presentation, online shopping improvements, sales pages, promotions, ads, customer experience, mobile usability, website speed, server performance, search visibility, tracking, and overall strategy. He has also helped us look at sales, profit and loss, and the bigger picture of what is helping the business and what is holding it back.

Beyond the websites, he has also helped with customer service, shipping problems, business policies, and practical day-to-day decisions that affect both the customer experience and the company. That has been extremely valuable because he understands that a website is not separate from the business — it is part of how the business runs.

He has also saved us a lot of money by finding practical solutions, handling a wide range of work himself, and helping us avoid unnecessary services or expenses. Our websites are not all the same, and he has been able to adjust to what each one actually needs.

Benjamin is honest, responsive, creative, intelligent, and self-motivated. I would recommend Web Without Waste to any business owner who wants a professional website, stronger marketing, a better customer experience, and someone who understands both the technical side and the business side.

Benjamin did a solid job. The project needed to be simple, clear, and easy for visitors to understand, especially for people coming from out of state. He helped make everything feel more organized and professional without overcomplicating it. Good communication, quick work, and I’d definitely recommend Web Without Waste.

I’m very happy with the work Benjamin did. My website has a lot of writing, information, and different parts to it, and he helped make it easier to move through and understand. He was patient, thoughtful, and good at seeing what needed to be cleaned up. I appreciate the care he put into the project and would recommend Web Without Waste.

Benjamin has been a big part of helping bring the Coalition of Healers website together. He took a lot of ideas, pages, member information, events, and moving pieces and helped turn them into something organized and professional. He understood the heart behind the project and made the site easier for people to use and understand. We appreciate the work he put into it and would recommend Web Without Waste.
