Patrick Antinozzi
Designer and builder. Canadian, based in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.
I make websites and the systems around them: SEO, automation, copy. Self-taught. I’ve run RapidWebLaunch since 2013 and I’m open to something new: a project, a role, an idea.
Experience
Founder, RapidWebLaunch
Web design and SEO for small businesses, sold as a monthly plan: design, hosting, support and changes included, and the client owns the site after 24 payments. Registered in Toronto, run from wherever I am. Started with no experience and no formal education, on a laptop, from cafés between Barcelona and Puerto Escondido. Grew it to six figures a year.
Host, Launchers
Podcast on building a location-independent web design business. 74 episodes, twice a month, 4.6 stars from 36 ratings across platforms.
RapidWebLaunch on YouTube
178 videos, 1.06 million views, 7,400 subscribers. Three videos past 100K: paying off $14,000 in credit card debt (197K), simplifying your phone (161K) and how to learn web design fast (128K).
Content Specialist, Statflo
Content strategy, writing and online presence for a Toronto mobile app company.
General Manager, Ozone Nation (Fresh Gear)
The company my dad and I ran together for ten years, from a garage in Windsor, Ontario. Ozone machines that disinfect and deodorize hockey gear, then firefighter and police PPE; now in over 100 sanitizing centres across North America. I ran manufacturing, suppliers, contracts, customer support and R&D, and did a good share of the selling.

Clients say
Within a day-and-a-half from my first contact they had me up and running with a professional website. Patrick was great to work with, responsive and patient.
RWL took our existing Weebly website and built us a new site in a matter of days, our search engine ranking has improved in a matter of weeks and we’re very happy with Patrick’s services.
Our company website, which we had paid another web design firm to build, was not loading properly, and eventually crashed after only a few months of operation. We discovered the website was poorly constructed and needed to be rebuilt. After just paying a company to design our website, it was difficult to trust another company to do the same thing again, but Patrick was reliable, easy to work with, well priced, and delivered all that he promised!
