Meet the founder
Jon Orezzoli
UF Hough Graduate School of Business ’23
I hold a Master of Science in Marketing from the University of Florida. I founded Ninewave to put that training to work for the businesses that rarely get access to it. Strategy, design, build and launch, handled under one roof.
I grew up around family-run businesses, and I watched good ones get passed over for reasons that had nothing to do with the quality of their work. Closing that gap is why this studio exists, and it is still the part of the job I care about most.
I design it, write it, build it and launch it. When you email Ninewave, I am the one who answers.
Why I started this
Independent businesses are not losing on merit. They are losing on visibility, and visibility has been bought. National chains spend more on one campaign than a Miami restaurant earns in a year. Search results, map listings and ad space are increasingly pay to win. A family clinic with twenty years of goodwill can be invisible next to a franchise that opened last month.
That is not competition. It is capital beating craft, and it hollows out the places people actually live.
I started Ninewave to close that gap. I build with the same stack, the same standards and the same conversion thinking the expensive end of the market uses, and I point all of it at businesses that were told this level of work was not for them. Everything is built for you specifically, because your business is not a category, and no template understands what makes your customers choose you.
A great local business should never lose to a bigger one simply because the bigger one had a better website.
