Most kids my age have a part-time job. I have a business.
From the Manly markets to your inbox
I'm Zac Nowytarger. While other 15-year-olds were scrolling TikTok, I was building Manly 2095 — a clothing brand I sell at the Manly beachfront markets every weekend. Real product. Real customers. Real money on the line.
Running that business taught me something most web designers never learn: what it actually feels like to rely on every single customer walking past your stall. That's exactly how small business owners feel about their website.
I taught myself modern web design and AI tools because I saw the gap: small businesses stuck with websites from 2015, and agencies quoting $5,000+ to fix them. That's broken. So I'm fixing it.
I'm not a faceless agency. I'm one hungry, detail-obsessed kid who will treat your website like it's his own business — because building this into a real company is exactly what I'm doing.
