RICHARD “RICK” PAGE
Founder & Lead Developer Digital StrategistMeet the Founder
Experience across disciplines. One practical point of view.
Rick Page founded Gotham Bush to bring together the kinds of skills small businesses often need at the same time: web development, digital strategy, marketing, research, business planning, communication, and practical technology.
His background includes more than two decades of hands-on experience with websites, digital platforms, online content, audience development, business operations, and independent projects.
Rick holds a Master of Science in Digital Marketing from Full Sail University and a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies from Purdue University Global. That combination of practical experience and formal education shapes how Gotham Bush approaches client work: understand the problem first, examine the larger business context, and build solutions that are clear, useful, maintainable, and appropriate for the organization using them.
His work is especially focused on helping small businesses avoid unnecessary complexity—whether that means building a professional website without forcing the owner to become a developer, improving how information moves through a business, strengthening digital visibility, or creating tools around the way people actually work.
Qualifications
Education and experience that support the work.
Credentials matter most when they translate into better questions, clearer decisions, and work that is useful after the project leaves the planning stage.
B.S. Legal Studies
Purdue University GlobalAcademic foundation in legal research, analysis, documentation, critical reasoning, and understanding institutional and regulatory structures.
20+ Years
Web & Digital ExperienceHands-on experience spanning website development, digital platforms, content systems, online communities, audience development, SEO, analytics, and evolving web technologies.
Small-Business Experience
Projects & Independent OperationsDirect experience managing projects and digital properties brings an understanding of limited time, competing priorities, budget constraints, and the need for tools that actually make work easier.
Growth Through Experience
Professional growth across connected disciplines.
Rick’s experience developed in layers. Each stage added a different way of looking at business problems—and those perspectives now work together in client projects.
Curiosity & Independence
Learn the system. Understand how it works.
Rick’s experience with technology and digital work began through hands-on learning: building, experimenting, troubleshooting, and understanding how websites, online platforms, and digital systems fit together.
That early approach established a pattern that still defines his work today—learn the system, understand the problem, and keep working until the solution makes sense. The result is not simply technical familiarity, but the ability to approach unfamiliar problems without immediately reaching for an expensive or overly complicated answer.
CuriosityProblem SolvingSelf-Directed Learning
Strategy & Audience
Build for people, not just platforms.
As that experience developed, the work expanded beyond simply creating websites and digital content. It became increasingly focused on how people actually interact with information: what attracts attention, what builds credibility, what makes a message understandable, how audiences discover content, and what encourages someone to take the next step.
Years of practical digital work were later reinforced through graduate study in digital marketing, including strategy, analytics, SEO, audience development, content, branding, and performance measurement. That combination helps Rick look at a website or digital project as more than code or visual design. It has to communicate clearly and support an actual business objective.

Research & Context
Add structure, evidence, and careful reasoning.
Rick’s Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies added another layer to that practical background: structured research, careful reading, documentation, analytical reasoning, and attention to how rules, responsibilities, risks, and organizations fit together.
That perspective is useful in business work where the right answer is rarely just “make it look better.” A project may involve ownership, processes, customer expectations, accessibility, privacy, documentation, platform dependency, costs, or long-term consequences that should be considered before something is built. The goal is not to provide legal services; it is to bring stronger research, organization, risk awareness, and critical thinking into business and technology decisions.

Connected Experience
Bring the disciplines together. Build what actually helps.
Today, Rick’s work combines web development, digital marketing, technology, business strategy, research, content, and operational thinking. That multidisciplinary background is central to his role at Gotham Bush.
A small business may not need five different consultants to solve five interconnected problems. Sometimes it needs someone who can understand how the pieces affect one another and determine what actually needs to be done. Rick’s role is often to connect those pieces: understand the objective, identify the friction, determine what matters, and build or coordinate a practical solution.

How That Experience Helps Clients
Experience matters most when it makes the client’s job easier.
Rick’s role at Gotham Bush is not simply to build something and hand it over. The objective is to understand enough of the surrounding business problem to make better decisions about what should be built in the first place.
Questions that shape the work
- What is the customer actually trying to accomplish?
- What is consuming unnecessary time?
- Which existing systems are already working?
- What can be simplified instead of replaced?
- What does the customer need to control themselves?
- What should remain professional support rather than another responsibility for the owner?
- What happens to the system as the business grows?
A Hands-On Approach
Build it. Use it. Test it. Improve it.
Gotham Bush’s own website, customer intake systems, CRM workflows, digital infrastructure, and developing software platform are used internally as real working systems.
Does it reduce friction?
A useful system should remove unnecessary steps instead of creating another process to manage.
Is it understandable?
The people using it should be able to understand the workflow without becoming specialists in the underlying technology.
Can it be maintained?
Good solutions account for what happens after launch—not just what looks impressive during the build.
Can it grow?
The foundation should support reasonable change without forcing everything to be rebuilt whenever the business evolves.
