About Slyvon Blanco
Most people just call him "Sly". He's an independent web developer, designer, consultant, and chicken wings addict. When he's not talking about himself in 3rd person, he's usually designing websites for clients or consulting with them about how they can improve what they have.
Anyway, back to 1st person.
Here are some of the things I do:
- Develop sales funnels (or optimizing what already exists to improve conversions)
- Create evergreen email marketing campaigns
- Plan and execute product launches
- Make systems and processes to streamline operations
- Or simply provide direction with big picture ideas
As a freelance consultant, I've had the privilege of working with other entrepeneurs and taking part in many exciting projects. If you're interested in working together, you can learn more about my services and view some of my work here.
The Casual Stuff
I'm a minimalist. I love anything that has a clean, aesthetically-pleasing design.
I have a thing for simplifying complexity. Because why make things harder than they need to be?
Home base is in Illinois. But in 2015, I gave away everything I owned and traveled the world. My whole life was in one bag, and I lived out of AirBnbs. (Fall 2019 update: I'm currently living in the San Diego area.)
I gave up social media in the middle of 2017. I still have my accounts, but they're practically dormant. If I ever decide to use them again, you can follow me on Instagram and Twitter.
In my free time, I make things like SimplifiedFitness.io.
I also try to write every now and then. If you're curious to know how I work, check out my Things page for a list of my favorite products & services.

This site was originally on WordPress, but I decided to redesign and rebuild it from scratch using GatsbyJS. It's the most minimalist site I've ever designed, but surprisingly a lot of code was written under the hood.
