Detroit Built. Results Driven.
27 years of enterprise digital experience
Brought to the businesses that need it most
Right here in Metro Detroit
Our Story
Fortune 500 Intelligence.
Local Business Grit.
Since 1998, our team has been building digital platforms for some of America's most recognizable brands — Ford Motor Company, Citibank, and Kraft Foods. We know what enterprise-grade digital looks like because we built it, shipped it, and scaled it at the highest level.
But somewhere along the way we noticed a gap. While enterprise companies were racing into the future with AI, automation, and advanced digital infrastructure — small and medium businesses were being sold outdated websites and basic SEO that simply no longer worked. Detroit businesses deserved better.
So in 2024, Scott Bussey founded MyDetroitWeb — born from 27 years of Component Digital's Metro Detroit roots — with one mission: bring enterprise-grade digital to the businesses that need it most, at a price that makes sense. Today that mission runs in the family. Scott's son Taylor brings fresh technical perspective to every project, combining next-generation web development skills with the same Detroit work ethic that's driven this team since 1998.
We're not a national agency with a Detroit office. We're a Detroit agency — full stop.
Our Philosophy
We Don't Just Build. We Think.
Your CTO in Your Back Pocket.
Zero Fluff
Most agencies hide behind confusing metrics, inflated reports, and buzzwords designed to make you feel dependent on them. We operate differently. Because our team has spent decades building platforms for Fortune 500 enterprises, we cut through the noise and tell you exactly what your business needs — and what it doesn't. No fluff. No upsells. Just straight talk and real results.
Genuine Interest
We are self-proclaimed tech obsessives. In our free time we're not unplugging — we're building our own projects, testing new AI models, and exploring what's next so our clients don't have to. We genuinely love seeing a Detroit business crack the code of digital growth. There's a unique satisfaction in taking a complex concept and turning it into a tool that gives a client back ten hours of their work week. We don't just work for you — we get excited with you.
The Detroit Standard
We believe in the power of a handshake and a phone call. Headquartered in Farmington Hills, we believe Metro Detroit businesses deserve world-class digital without the big agency attitude. When you work with MyDetroitWeb you're not getting a junior account manager reading from a script — you're getting the architects and engineers who built platforms for Ford and Kraft Foods, now fully focused on your business.
Long-Term Partnership
To us a successful project isn't just a site that goes live — it's a site that stays live, stays secure, and keeps growing. We're not interested in one-and-done engagements. We're interested in being your long-term digital partner — the team you call when you have a new idea, a new challenge, or a new opportunity.
Our Team
The People Who Actually Do the Work.
No Account Managers. No Handoffs. Just the Experts.
Scott Bussey
Founder / Lead Strategist
Scott has spent 27 years at the intersection of technology and business in Metro Detroit — building digital platforms for Fortune 500 enterprises including Ford Motor Company, Citibank, and Kraft Foods before founding MyDetroitWeb to bring that same standard to small and medium businesses.
He founded MyDetroitWeb on a simple belief: Detroit businesses deserve enterprise-grade digital without the enterprise price tag or the big agency runaround. Scott is the person who picks up the phone, shows up to the meeting, and stays accountable to your results from day one to day one thousand.
When he's not building digital strategies for clients, Scott is building his own — running an extensive technology lab at home, exploring the latest AI models, and finding new ways to give MyDetroitWeb clients a competitive edge before the competition even knows what's coming.
Mark Ridkey
Lead Technical Engineer
Mark is the technical backbone of every project MyDetroitWeb delivers. With deep expertise in modern web technologies and a decade-plus of hands-on engineering experience, Mark ensures every site we build is fast, secure, and built to last. He's the reason our clients sleep well at night.
Taylor Bussey
Web Developer
Taylor brings next-generation web development skills to every project — and a perspective that keeps MyDetroitWeb ahead of where the industry is going, not just where it's been. As Scott's son, Taylor grew up around this work. That foundation shows in the precision and care he brings to every line of code.
Steve Jenkins
Creative Director
Steve is the reason MyDetroitWeb projects don't just perform — they look the part. With a designer's eye and a strategist's mind, Steve translates business goals into visual experiences that stop visitors in their tracks and move them toward action. Great design isn't decoration. Steve knows that better than anyone.
Our Process
From First Conversation to Long-Term Growth.
Simple Steps. No Surprises. Real Results.
Discovery & Strategy
We Listen Before We Build.
Every engagement starts with a real conversation — not a sales pitch. We dig into your business, your goals, your pain points, and your current digital presence. If AI automation will deliver more value than a new website, we'll tell you. Honest strategy first, every time.
Blueprint & Roadmap
We Plan Before We Execute.
Before a single line of code is written we map out the entire project — architecture, content, search strategy, and timeline. You'll know exactly what we're building, why we're building it, and when it will be done. No surprises, no scope creep, no excuses.
Build & Communicate
We Build With You, Not Just For You.
Our development process is fully transparent. Weekly updates keep you informed at every stage — in plain English, not technical jargon. You'll always know where your investment is going and what's coming next.
Launch & Optimize
We Don't Just Flip a Switch.
Launch day is just the beginning. We deploy your project with performance, security, and search visibility baked in from day one — then monitor, test, and optimize in the critical weeks after launch to make sure everything is firing on all cylinders.
Grow & Maintain
We're Still Here After the Invoice.
Most agencies disappear after launch. We don't. Through our ongoing hosting, security monitoring, and digital growth services we stay actively invested in your success — because your results are our reputation.
Our Promise
We're In This With You.
Your Success Is Our Reputation.
Every agency promises results. We promise something more specific: a partner who shows up, tells you the truth, and stays accountable long after the project goes live. No vanishing acts. No invoice-and-disappear. Just a local Detroit team that measures its own success by yours.
We promise to recommend what's right for your business — not what's most profitable for ours. If you need a simple website refresh before investing in AI automation, we'll tell you. If your SEO foundation is broken and no amount of new content will fix it, we'll tell you that too. Honest counsel is the foundation of every relationship we build.
We promise to speak your language. No jargon. No confusing reports designed to make you feel dependent on us. Just clear communication, plain English updates, and a team that genuinely enjoys explaining the work in a way that makes sense for your business.
And we promise to be here. Not just for the launch — but for the long haul. Because the best digital partnerships aren't transactions. They're relationships built on trust, consistency, and a shared commitment to growth.

No pressure. No jargon. Just a real conversation about your business and where you want to take it.
